Bob's one ambition in life was to be
the. village constable, and he couldn't
understand any one wishing to leave
Greene Center. Sally cried little and
sworc eternal allegiance, to her youthful
suitor.
You'll wait, won't you, Sally?" Jim
had said "I'll surely come back when

come to claim you no >one In Greene
Center is going to dare to call me
'Unlucky Jim.'"
His mother dried her tears on her
apron when Jimmie went away. IF
there's any luck in this world for the
boy, l hope he finds IT," she said to
herself as she turned away from the
gate.
JIMMIE got to the station without

kept repeating to himself over and over

THE DAILY NOVELETTE,
Unincky Jim
BY Lottic Wallace Simmons

"TMMIE, ! do believe you are the
- unluckiest boy in Greene Center ~
"Wow!" yelled little Jimmie, as Ma
poured the liniment over large cut on
small, fat forefnger.
You are always sick or getting hurt,
or something" complained his mother
as she tied on the bsndage. You're
just plain unlucky, that's all! Now
run out and play, but don't get any
more cuts or bruises or I shall never
get my washing DONE"
The four year -old dabbed ut the tears
with a chubby fist. 4.
"wha' did you say was?" he asked
between sobs as he backed toward the
door.
II said you were unlucky," plunging
Redeemed arms into the steaming tub.
I'm unlucky = I'm unlucky,' y

he pedaled a worn -out velocipede as

Suddenly, off few the front wheel and
q small. freckled nose plowed furrow
in the dirt. Screams filed the air, and
the tired housewife, with hands drip
ping soapsuds, hurried to the scene oi
disaster.
"Oh, you unlucky Jim - she sighed
as she picked him up and carried hin
into the house.
All this happened years before any
one in Greene Center paid much atten.
tfon to the law of expectancy. Maybe
1t didn't make any difference, callinl
him unlucky from babyhood, expecting
Ill luck to follow him at every turn
but James at the age Of eighteen though
otherwise. Some New Thought lit
erature had found its way into hi
hands. James read It and began t.
think for himself. =,
''I'll never have any luck in thi
town, mother" he explained one day
for no one expects me to have any. Tn
'Unlucky jim to every one. There
too much to fight against here, so I'm
going away"
He confided his plans to Bob. hi
chum, and to Sally, his sweetheart.

HEAVY LOSSES REPORTED
FROM ANTHRAX EPIDEMIC

Elko Free Press: According to
advices received here the quarantine
will be lifted any day now from the
Reowawe and Battle Mountain dis
trict. which was recently swept by the
anthrax epidemic. The loss was ter
rife, some of the ranchers in the dis
trict losing every head of horses. cat
tie and hogs on their place, while
others escaped with slight loss. The
"Muleshoe" ranch was probably the
heaviest loser. as they had started TO
drive in their cattle from the hills.
there being over 1900 head on the
river ranch. 1t is estimated that the
losses will reach more than $4,000.
With the removal of the quarantine
tho stockowners can ship out their
stock and thus avoid the expense Of
keeping them over for months, as it
was at first feared.

Many residents of this section are
planning on attending the rodeo and
fair at Elko.
Haying is about completed in this
section of the county and good crops
are reported by all.
The fishermen Of the north end
have been quite fortunate lately and
every day we hear Of two or three
pound trout being secured.
Mrs. George Eckeman OF Fallon
was a visitor at Palisade Sunday, and
Mrs. F. d. Bradley of Tonopah ar
rived Monday; both came to visit
Mrs. E. NJ. Bradley.
We have had heavy frosts for a
week through this section and all po-
tatoes, garden produce. etc.. in the
valley have suffered. but the ranches
in the hills have escaped so far, and
Mr.. Pace and Mr.. Walthen have been
bringing in fine corn, melons, etc.
The new school house is about
ready for use and is a credit to the
town, for 1t is quite attractive in de-
sign and is constructed of cement
and plaster. So far no teacher has
been employed, but the trustees hope
to secure the services of one within a
week or so.
Norman Pace, SON of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lon Pace, had a narrow escape from
serious injury the other day. A shell
became lodged in his 12-gauge shot
gun and he endeavored to pry it loose
with nail, which slipped and in some
way exploded the she'll. Norman's s
hand was injured, BIT not severely
and several shot struck him in the
face, one narrowly missing his eye.
The case of Mrs. Grace Spracklin

Palisade and Pine Valley.
