Made Thorough Job Of It.

The domestic happiness of an inn
keeper in village in the Jura has
been shattered by the action of jeal-
Gus wife. Ten years ago the innkeep-
er, who is French, brought home from
America a buxom woman of Austrian
birth named Sophie. Sophie is now
fat and forty, and the affections of
her husband have decreased. Sophie
resolved to revenge herself, and, when
her husband was absent, she smashed
all the furniture and then turned on
all the taps of the wine barrels. FL
nally she soaked the wreckage with Pc
trOleum and set it alight. When the
husband appeared his wife threw on
the fire number of bank notes which
represented their savings. While the
neighbors were busy trying to extin.
guish the flames Sophie hanged her.

Alloy Stronger Than Steel.

An Italian engineer has discovered
a new alloy of zinc and copper which
IS stronger than steel and less cor
rosive than copper, says the Scientific
American. The most important charac-
teristics of the new alloy, which has
been named "Black Metal" are the
highest known breaking point, the high
est limit of elasticity, perfect homo
geneity and higher resistance to both
heating and chemical action. It has
been stated that it can successfully be
cast machined, rolled, forged, drawn
and stamped. 1t is expected that 1t
will prove an acceptable substitute for
steel brass and aluminium.

land this season was harvested by
Ed Shurtleff, who lives three miles
northwest of Bull, down near the
breaks. Last spring he planted three
acres of watermelons in land that
he cleared from sagebrush, and he
sold $1,000 worth of melons from
the patch this summer. This is an
average of $500 forth of melons to
the acre. Sagebrush land usually
produces only about half as large a
crop as land which has been built
up by clover or alfalfa.

FARMERS HOLDING
FOR $3.50 WHEAT
Pledge Not to Dispose
of Crop Until Price
is Higher

Reports from Spokane are that
the wheat growers of Idaho and
Washington, who are organized as
the Washington Wheat Growers as
ISOLATION, nave pledged themselves
not to- dispose of any wheat until
the market reaches $3.50 bushel,
or more. The farmers of this asso-
citation are now said to control AGO.
900 bushels of wheat, which is now
in warehouses. Similar action is be-
ing taken by farmers associations
in other parts of the country.
1t will be recalled that organizers
for this association were in Black
foot several months ago, but no or
ganization was effected here. How
ever, other wheat growing sections
in Idaho were organized, and it is
reported that these branches are en-
dorsing the action.

Ground Ice.

A professional paper of the United
States geological survey on the Can
ming river region, in northern Alaska,
describes the occurrence Of ground Ice
in that region and reviews the liter
ature of ground ice in considerable
detail. The author concludes that the
two varieties Of ground ice most COM
mon in northern Alaska are formed
by the burial of river ice by sediments
and by the growth in place of vertical
ice wedges.

 "There-there's surely some mis- take" she stammered. "Air Dalton cannot--he couldn't--be your husband -he''-
 Because he didn't tell you?" sup plemented the stranger with a sheer. Then the sheer faded. and a note of real compassion crept tito the beauti- fully modulated voice as she added

 A wave of red replaced the pallor of Miss Shirleys countenance. creeping like a danger signal from the collar of her frock up to her forehead. She was wholly unaccustomed to such frank ness.

 by her side. "Shirley-my dear-what is it?'
 She sank down suddenly on a wide divan that faced one of the big win dows, and. staring straight ahead of her, said, hopelessly:
 "Nothings the matter. David-except the general rottenness of life."
 He lifted one of her small hands into
 his own strong clasp then, and his voice
 held real concern as he made answer: That doesn't sound a bit like you. my dearl Come, tell me what's the matter"
 Shirley made no sound Her face was white now--rigid, with a curious ltenseness.
 Burke tried a lighter tone. If it's the4heart affair gone wrong, then don't forget the dear old adage that 'Te course of true love never did run smooth" Come.

 Then a timely recollection of her duties as hostess swept over Shirley The day was warm--this woman looked as though she were exhausted. She was certainly harboring some absurd delusion. Perhaps she was even just trifle mad.

 She forced a smile to hide the trem- bling of her pretty lips. Down in her heart was real misgiving and anxi- ety. But she wasn't going to show it.
 "Yo4're a kind little thing--as well as being really prettyr' commented the other gratefully. Compunction glinted for a moment in the weary eyes. f'Dont think I've any grudge against you per- sonally. It isn't you I blame"

 Envioiusly the other looked at her.

 Again a little red flag of protest mantled in Shirley's smooth young cheeks.
 "Oh, mean it as a compliment--don't misunderstood me-" went on the new conner imperturbably. I'm not casting any aspersions"-she hesitated for a moment on the unaccustomed word "any aspersions on your mental powers It's just that you don't know life the
