About the end of May, Balzac and his
wife arrived in Paris. They had not
been welded a month before they felt a
disappointment at the marriage in every
respect. From the moment they took
possession of their beautiful Beauio res
idence, whatever bond of friendship and
| tenderness had previously existed be-
| tween them, was Immediately snapped
asunder. Peculiarities of temperament
in each, which, long as they had
been lovers, had been but slightly felt
now came into close contact even
| clashed, and each thought the other ill.,
compatible.
| Besides a question of disposition the
| Balzacs found disagreeable revelations
| on either side. The husband learned
! that his wfe'e available income was
very much inferior to what he had sup
posed or been led to believe, and the
wife learned that the husbands debts
far from being paid, he had asserted
We're more numerous and larger than he
had ever in truth admitted. So, instead
of coming to Paris to be the queen of
a literary CIRCLE as she had supposed
Nine. Balzac saw herself involved in
| liabilities that threatened to swallow up
her fortune if she came TO the rescue
of her husband
Reproaches and disputes began in the
week following their installment in
Paris The dsllusioned Eve withdrew
to her own apartments in anger, and Bal
zac. whose bronchitis and congested liver
had grown worse, remained an invalid in
his. Fortunately for both concerned the
disease was to cause a separation which
the court would no doubt have been
called upon to accomplish, and on August.
II Balzac died. Thus ended great mat
rimonal disappointment on the part of
one of the greatest of French literary
geniuses.

GREAT LOVE TRAGEDIES


Balzac the famous French author was
a man of moods. His love affairs are
striking part of a peculiar personality.
with a married woman, and because he
had to wait 20 years before she was free
that he could marry her, he became one
of the worst of cynics, and after he had
finally secured her he very shortly found
that the game had not been worth the
waiting. Fortunately, probably, he only
lived several months to regret his mis-
fortune of having been mismated
The object Of this long affection was
Nine. Hanska. During many years she
had been an inspiration to him. Their
friendship began in way that was no
less remarkable than it was romantic
She had read one of Balzac's recently
published novels and she was so thor
oughly wrought up over an idea ex-
pressed therein-since it was in such di-
rect opposition to her own views-that
she wrote to the author and criticised his
work. Balzac, though busy in the world
of literature, took pains to answer her
singular communication, and the corre-
spondence that was thus started and
encouraged grew into a torrent of out
bursts of affection
For a long time Balzac and Nine.
Hanska knew one another only through
their correspondence. Finally they ar
ranged meeting in Switzerland. which,
instead of diminishing their interest in
one another, fostered it, and when NJ
Hanska died they awaited themselves of
the first opportunity to marry.
The wedding took place on March A.
1850. in Russia. in the Church of Saint
Barbara. The bridegroom Immediately
communicated the news to his family
and friends. His joy was such that he

COOKED FOOD
PREVENTS CHOLERA

George La Grange, of Mesa, county,
Colorado, recently killed a porker that
dressed 252 pounds which was not
quite eleven months old 1t was the
lard type of hog and was finished with
corn. Had it been the bacon type he
believes that the corn it ate the last
four weeks would have been saved,
for corn does not make the best ba-
con but it does make good lard. Al
falfa is king as bacon producer,
therefore we should raise bacon hogs.
Mr. La Grange this year grew some
barley to experiment on these lines.
We all know that the highest priced
pork in the world is barley fed. 1t
has a flavor all its own and so long
as we grow this grain to perfection
we should be shoveling it into our
pigs. The way to feed it is to boil
it, whole or cracked, and mix it with
alfalfa meal in the ration of one to
three Some philosopher has come
out to say that pigs which get only
cooked food never have the cholera

MORE BUNCO BUSINESS

Still another case of commission
bunco is reported by some of the o.
tato growers of this valley. Along
about Thanksgiving time smooth
chap came along this way and pro-
posed to buy all the poultry and pro-
duce in the valley, offering to pay
what seemed fair price, and sue
ceeded in contracting for five carloads
of potatoes at stipulated price of
$l7 per ton. The potatoes were ship
ped, and were even better than the
sample, and now, after waiting all
this time, the commission firm pro-
poses to pay for the goods at the rate
of ten dollars ($lO per ton, That
there may be no misunderstanding
about this transaction, the names of
the parties are given: George Fried
hoff, R. MCGOWAN and Ambro Ro-
saschi are the shippers and Messrs.
Hagspan & Strakian is the firm of
commission men. No wonder our
growers have concluded to form a
Producers Association.

MARGARET WAS A

A Boston dispatch of December 6
says "here are some of the things
Miss Margaret Foley did during her
recent invasion of Nevada: Made
suffrage speeches in mines $500 feet
under ground; slept out of doors in d
blanket; braved the perils of the des-
ert; rejected hundreds of proposals
from ranchmen and miners; danced
at more than fifty dances; made more
than one hundred speeches; met per-
sonally practically ever one of the
22,O00 registered voters in the State
rode horseback at night over many
miles of lonely trails to talk suffrage
at ranches, and-yes, sometimes she
was compelled to wear regulation
miners flannel shirt and corduroy
breeches in descending shafts to ad-
dress miners while at their work"

ANOTHER FINE
ARTESIAN WELL

On the Hilbun farm in that section
of Smith Valley known as the arte-
sian belt, splendid new artesian we'll
was brought in last Saturday. This
we'll is about a mile east of the spout
er on the Lowney ranch. Some time
ago Mesrs. Levrich and Trenam bored
this well to depth of $40 feet with
their new well-boring machine. AT
this depth clay bed was encountered
and work ceased Ed Mollart then
went to work with hand boring ma
chine and penetrated the clay strata
for a depth of 80 feet when the water
gushed out and spurted 40 feet above
the surface of the ground. After the
pipe was capped measurements show
ed that the we'll was flowing at the
rate of 800 gallons per minute This
amount OF water will irrigate quite a
tract of land and the force is such that
it can be piped to all buildings on he
premises and used the same as city
water system Mr. Hilbun is, natural
ly, very we'll pleased with the result
of his efforts to obtain water on his
holdings sufficient for all purposes.

FERNLEY SALOON MAN
DRINKS OWN WARES AND
SHOOTS UP HIS HOME

Deputy Sheriff Ambrose received a
telegram from Fernley Thursday fore
noon to .the effect that a man there
had taken several shots ct his wife
the night before and to come and ar
rest him Immediately. Ambrose left
here Thursday noon and returned yes
erday morning, but did not bring the
-wielder with him. 1t appears
that a saloon man named w. G. Will
lis, finding business in his line rather
dull, loaded up on his own goods
and then had trouble with his wife.
The family lives in rooms in the rear
OF the saloon building. 1t is reported
that Willis fired four or five shots at
his wife, one bullet grazing the leg of
one of the children and another pass
ing through the clothing of Mrs Will
lis. Mrs. Willis made her escape to
a neighboring farm house and was
there found by the officer, but she
would swear to no complaint and
stated that she would not appear
against her husband if he was arrested,
although she was making prepara-
tons to leave him and go to her peo-
pie in Oregon or Washington While
there were several witnesses to a por-
tion OF the row none of them would
swear to a complaint and Justice Pray
Of tezt
was made. 1t is said that Willis has
created disturbances before and the
people of the quiet little farming com
munity of Fernley are not at all anx-
ious that he should remain in their
midst

LAY-OFF AT SPARKS

A bulletin was posted at the shops
in Sparks the first of this week an
nouncing that the shops would be
closed until the 4th of January. This
was not unexpected, as there have
been rumors to he same effect for the
past several days, says the Sparks
Tribune. The condition of the engines
of the road and the surplus number
that have been repaired is such that
there is plenty of power to care for
all of the trains and very little back
shop work is required.
