GIRL LURED BY ADJ
ELOPES AND IS
DESERTED

Lured by an advertisement Offering
to share $4,000 with the country girl
who would become his wife, wooed
ana won and deserted after clipping,
Mary McEachin, nineteen ear-old
daughter of J. P McEachin, re.
tired farmer of Denton, Ca, appeared
at police station today and asked Chief
Beavers to begin hunt for her dash
ing husband of a few days.
Miss McEachin told the chief story
that had all the elements of romance in
it. Some weeks ago she read in a daily
newspaper an advertisement in which
the writer announced that he wanted
country girl for a wife and had $4,000
to share with her. She answered and
was delighted TO get quick response.

A Dashing Wooer

He announced that he'd run down to
Denton at once and before Miss Nc
Eachin could draw a long breath he
was on his way.
He arrived July 81 Although Hutch

he had all the dash country girls usual

Miss McEachin lost her heart in less
time than it takes to shuck corn
When her parents got an inkling Of the
romance they put in strenuous objec.

signed to their verdict.
The actual wooing. the parental OBJ
lection and the pretended resignation
all came in one day Hutcheson said
he'd be on his way home, heartbroken
and discouraged. Miss McEachn said
she'd see him off, and went to the sta

TEACH HORSE TO KNOW VOICE
Animal Likes the socIablIity Of It and
Will Learn Many Words, Ac-
cordIna 70 Authorities.

Talk to your horse and teach him
to obey your voice as well as the
reins, advises writer in the Spirit
of the West. This may prove valu-
able if, as sometimes happens, the
lines break or become unbuckled.
Besides, the horse likes the sociabil-
ity of it. He easily learns a dozen
or more words, but be careful to use
them only for exactly what you mean.
For instance, "whoa" means to stop
at once and stand perfectly still ;
"get up" to go straight ahead and at
once; "back" to step backward ;
"easy" or STEADY" to slow up.
These words the horse readily
learns and takes kindly to. ''Walk'
means to change at once to walk ;
and call right" spoken in a calm,
reassuring tone, means "don't be
afraid, that won't hurt you," and it
is wonderful to see what calming
effect it has. Speak firmly, but not
sharply to the horses, for they are
nervous creatures. Talking to your
horse will make him more intelligent
and more friendly.

ANTIQUITIES FOUND IN SPAIN

Are Fond Of Making Such q
Collection.

Spain is considered by art collec-
tors lucrative field; and many in
teresting antiques are picked up here
from time to time. Seville has nu-
merous shops where antiquities are
sold, and where the old Spanish
needlework may be purchased. This
section of the country has SO recently
Comparatively speaking) been in
vaded by tourists that art buyers
claim to find here many desirable
things of which the more frequented
countries have long since been al
most "sold out" Probably the old
Spanish needlework and the wood
carvings are the most characteristic
"finds," though the antique Spanish
and the lustrous Moorish tiles are
also much sought. Of course paint
ings are eagerly scanned, and occa-
sionally a Murillo school picture
comes to sale. AS the history of this
section of Spain is so rich, there are
many antiquities that date from the
Roman period, such as earthen vases
and earthen lamps, also little jew
elry and many trinkets, which are
constantly being dug up in the ruins
of buried cities; there are several
such in this district, notably Italica,
near Seville.
