At any rate tbey only got one goose. Wihich died, as we will later show you, and half a dozen ducks Along about 6 o'clock in the evening they started home. They bad to pass so many lakes that lit was mid night before they got even half way. At each .lake they would stop and bang away, perhaps getting a duck, perhaps not. Along about 1 o'clock they got stalled in some sand at a gate and one of the docs got out to crank when lo, and be hold, he discovered that the crank was lost. They spent two hours, fifty-seven minutes and thirty-three seconds In getting the engine start ed wtthout the crank. Along they went for four or five nv ' v farther, carefully watching the engine to ft stopping again. soon one "doc said to1 the other, Give me a chew." At that the en gine began to sputter and pretty Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 10 Parties here who own a 2,000 acre tract of land near this city nave offered to prevent let the Industrial Club farm It dur ing the year 1914 for the purpose of demonstrating to pospectlve settles that success by dry farming meth oda can be made in this country. The parties who make the offer have submitted figures to show that I she would not budge. the tract will produce 40,000 bushels of wheat at an expense of only $12,' 000. This wheat, at a price of six ty cents per bushel, would bring a total return of $24,000. or a profit of $12,000.

The cost of the breaking, seeding, etc., would be ap proximately $6,000. The cost of the seed, etc., would be $6,000 more. them tried the gasoline tank. It ws dry as a bone.

The rescue car went out and they arrived in Alli ance at 7 o'clock Monday morning, tired and wiser men. Quoth the ra ven, "Nevermore." An Alliance man who has been rather fast in his younger days which was not so long ago seems to have lady friends in different points in the U. S. In fact suspic ions have been raised on bis con duct locally, if reports are correct. A few weeks ago, while one of the operators In the telegraph office was relaying messages to Chicago, the Chicago operator interrupted and asked the local operator, "Say, Is there a fellow by the name of working at In Al liance?" The operator did not know so he asked someone else and was told that the man was In Alli ance working at the place asked about. "Is he married?" asked the Chicago man. "There's a lady work ing In the office here who says she Is an old sweetheart of his and she wants to know if he is married." The Chicago .mam was informed that the local maa was married. That wasn't so bod ,but the story got to the ears of the Alliance man's wife and she seems to have taken him by the ears, for be told the Herald man that he had to wire to Chicago to try to prove to his wife that be had received no message from a woman there. And he begged like a good Indian to have nothing said of It. Some of the people who register ed in the land lottery at Valentine, Broken Bow and North Platte had very peculiar ideas regarding the class or character of the land in the reserve which is being thrown open for entry.

Most of thoe in the crowd knew that the land Is bein thrown because it wns found iaipos s'b'.e to make treos grow successful ly on it and the laugh that followed the speech of the big farmer was loud and long. summer "Winter Is here, So now, my dear.
