$500 HEN SWALLOWS 5000 GEM.

Lacrosse, Wis, Dec. 1O.--A white
Plymouth Rock hen on display at The
Western Wisconsin poultry show, val
ued at 5000 became worth twice that
sum as the result of swallowing a 5000
ruby which dropped from a setting in
a ring worn by Charles V. Keeler, Of
Minnamac, Ind, one of the judges.
The hen belongs to l.. c. Danvile, OF
Montfort, Wis While Keller was
about to examine the bird, the most
valuable in the show, the gem dropped
and quick as a flash the hen gulped
1t down.
Keeler offered Danyille 5000 for the
bird and subsequently increased the
bid to $500, but the owner of the fowl
refused both offers, and the loser left
for home without his ruby.

TOOK you for a newsboy, did shef~
chortled the neighbor.
Once more young Whitman looked
down at the money in his hand. He
held it out helplessly. Can you beat
that?' he said, dazedly.
In spite of his loss, the memory of
that pink cheek remained pleasantly
with young Whitman for some time.
! For its sake ne took a decided inter
est in nondescript hats and blue
serge suits for several weeks after
ward. Probably 1t was this newly de-
veloped interest that made him notice
one evening in the street car which
was bearing him and number of
others over to his station that directly
in front of him sat a pink-cheeked
wearer of a blue serge suit and hat
of the kind already inadequately de-
scribed.
He was some little distance behind
the young woman and when on getting
out he passed the seat in which she
had been sitting he saw that she had
left a parcel lying there. He seized
the parcel and made after the owner.
II beg your pardon" he said raising
his hat, but think you left this in
the car"
The girl looked down at the parcel.
ut is mine" she said. Thank you
ever so much"
She moved to the sidewalk and lit
tie way out of the crowd without ta-
king the parcel. Then she opened and
plunged her hand into the recesses of
an enormous handbag. After more
or less prolonged Scrabble" among its
contents she brought forth a small
purse. She scanned it's contents
eagerly.
Dear me-" young Whitman heard
her murmur. Il haven't a thing but a
quarter. / suppose I'll have to give
him that"
The parcel was taken from him with
hasty courtesy. Once more he felt a
coin pressed into his hand. A vaguely
impersonal voice breathed, THANK
you ever so much" and ne owner of
the parcel had disappeF I'D trainward.
Young Whitman stood still, ponder
ing. 81 bet you anything" he remarked,
presently, to homself, that that is the
very same girl. 1t is fate!"
Nimbly and shamelessly he rushed
into the train, searched until he found
the girl in the blue serge suit, and
then seated himself directly behind
her. He was determined that he
would at least know her next time
they met.
He was so confident that another
meeting had been arranged by fate
that he felt no surprise when upon go
ing over to call some evenings later
upon his friends the Parkinsons he
found there the girl of the tips. Mrs.
Parkinson presented him to her, in
forming him that the girl was Parkin-
snos sister, and that she was going
to pass the winter with them.
The rest followed naturally enough.
They are married now.
my dear" young Mrs. Whitman
says whenever her husband starts to
tell the story of their early encoun-
leTS, really, the oily 'Hih6 hO'iSSu
about him each time was his shoes
they were shockingly rusty and worn.
If you could have seen them! He
insists that |. said a quarter was too
much for him, but, as a matter of fact,
would have gladly given him more.
for his shoes looked as if he must be
hungry I'm glad | married him any
way, for now l make him keep his
shoes looking respectable. Chicago

LAND OWNERS MAKE
 APPEAL FOR VOTES
Association Sets Forth Its Reasons Why Its Ticket Is Deserving ot
 Voters Support.

The Land Owners Protective as sociation of Maricopa county was or ganized about a month ago. Do you realize what they have accomplished? They have obtained the desired in- formation of every land owner Of MaricOpa county for several years past This information was dn item izcd statement of the cost of the Roosevelt Project and other informa- ton given last Saturday by s. C. Hill and Arthur P. Davis at the Water Users building. Now why IS it that our Hon. President of the Water Users association and Board of Governors did not get this in formation long ago? They were in an official position and should have obtained it with ease. But should a water user suggest that they take the grievance of the water users, the president would reply that the re- clamation officials would take no heed of them But you see they lis- tened tO the Land owners Protective association and were not long about it.
 We have claimed for a long time if our officials of the association had grit enough to stand for the farmers instead or standing in with the reclamation officials. everything would be different
 Now ii you voters will elect the Land Owners Protective asso- citation ticket next month at the Wa ter Users election, We assure you the good work will continue.

NOVELTY OF NAMES IS COMMENTED UPON
Sometimes They are Strangely Diff ferent and Again They arc Con-
 fusins in Their Similarity.

Those who have occasion to visit lists of names on the register. often remark upon the numerousness of odd and unseemly ones. It would take book to hold the curious comments that could be made upon them but the phase of the subject now in mind is the wonderful variety exhibited notwithstanding the fre- quency with which Smith. Jones and Brown appear. It would seem that with the exception Of those names almost every man in the world has l different cognomen.
 But the opposite view of the case is often presented when one care fully scrutiniZes the names in a small gathering, as for instance the Ari- zona legislature.
 In the senate. a body of only nineteen men, from fourteen differ ent counties, men of talent are so scarce that it was necessary to draft two of them from the Wood clan. And of course there is the usual
 
 Roberts. Brown, Davis. Hughes. etc.
 The house. which is composed of 35 members only. had to draw on the Moore family twice. twice also on Maddox and MattOck, two ways of spelling the same name. Then there is Jacobs and Jacobson. and curiouSly enough, Jacobs son is older than Jacobs of course there is Jones. Johnson and Lewis to represent the common people. Babbitt. who repre- sents the mechanical arts. and Mur- phy ct al to hold up the Irish contingent which it has been said rules America. On the sentimental and practical side is the bird fam ily from Yavapai. Mir. Wren and MT. Linney. the latter doubtless having originally been q linnet.
 [ Crofoot is bit suggestive of the somber and in view of the fact that he is republican. it would have been better if his name had been Rabbits Foot.

A national bank has a charter granted by the U. s. government and is inspected by a government inspector. seven times a year. and there is nothing that gets by that inspector. That is why national banks are safe. A bank that has been doing a steadily pro- gressive business for three decades, as the Nat.
