SNYDER I {•PHONE 32 O'NEILI^NE&I Are You Doing Yourself Justice? MR. FARMER: Are you looking ahead for your son, or if you are a renter are you looking ahead for yourself? Are you going to aceept this chance for a homestead that Uncle Sam has made possible for you? Are you dosing over this while your more alert neighbor is acting? Don’t you realize that the irrigated homesteads now being offered by the government in the Big Horn Basin ahd North Platte Valley will prove to be the richest land prizes that the government has yet bestowed on its citizens? You certainly ought to know of the present land hunger in this country. Now you have the govern ment furnishing you $o and 160 acre tracts of land irrigated by the ntelligence and financial security of Uncle Sam who has suddenly! become the greatest irrigator the world has ever known, who offers you abundant and perpetual witli the choicest land at $35 to $45 per acre in ten annual payments without interest—land that will yield more in one per acre than the price of the farm. Do you realize what a “good thing” this is in tills day and age? If you do not let me tell you something about it. Peisonally conducted homeseekers’excursions first and third Tuesdays of <ach month.

TIE KETVTEBIM Curious Messenger of Death In vented by an Italian. TRAGIC LEGEND OF VENICE. Unique Weapon With Which the Man of Mystery and Murder Sought to Slay His Way to the Hand of the Woman He Loved. The chronicles of Venice tell that In the earlier part of the seventeenth cen tury a certain stranger, a man of dark and sinister aspect, arrived in the city. His name was Tebaldo. He appears to have been a man of unruly passions, of great Intellectual power, but one whose talents found their chief outlet in crime. One day he observed a beautiful girl leaving church, attended in a manner which showed she belonged to a family of high degree. She was, in fact, the daughter of an ancient and noble house. He fell violently in love with her. Though far removed from him in station, his blind passion took no count of this fact, and he determined to sue for her hand. There proved to be, however, a more insuperable obstacle to his suit. The girl was already betrothed to another, a young nobleman of almost equal rank and fortune. The knowledge did not deter Tebaldo, who boldly present ed himself before the girl’s parents in the capacity of a suitor for her hand. As might have,been expected, he met with a curt and unceremonious rebuff. The repulse rankled in his mind. En raged beyond measure, he shut himself up in his own house and there secretly studied a means of revenge. Pro foundly skilled in the mechanical arts, he allowed himself no rest until he had Invented a most formidable and death dealing weapon. This was a large key, the handle of which was so construct ed that it could be turned at will. When it was thus turned a secret spring was disclosed, which, on being pressed, launched from the key head a fine needle or lancet. The latter was of such delicate construction that it penetrated the body of the victim and buried itself deep in the flesh without leaving any external trace. The marriage of the betrothed cou ple was fixed to take place in the prin cipal church in Venice on a certain day. Before the ceremony Tebaldo, cunningly disguised, stationed himself at the church door armed with his dia bolical weapon. As the bridegroom was about to enter the building the concealed watcher pressed the spring and sent the deadly steel lancet into the breast of his victim. The young nobleman had no suspicion of injury at the moment. In the midst of the ceremony, however, he was seized with a sharp spasm of pain and sank fainting on the steps of the altar. He was hurriedly conveyed to his home, where the leading Venice physicians were summoned to attend him. In spite of their unremitting efforts he sank and died, nor were they able to discover the nature of the mysterious and fatal seizure. With the removal of his rival, Te baldo once more presented himself be fore the girl’s parents and renewed his request for her hand. Their refusal to listen to him sealed their doom. In what manner he accomplished it is not known, but within a few days both had been done to death in the same sudden and mysterious fashion. The exalted rank of the victims cre ated a profound sensation, and when, on examination of the bodies, a fine steel instrument was found In the flesh terror became universal. The cit izens feared for their lives. The ut most vigilance was exercised on the part of the authorities, but as yet no suspicion fell upon Tebaldo. The bereaved girl retired to a con vent, where she passed the first months of mourning in sorrowful seclusion. Tebaldo, however, sought her out in her retreat and begged to speak to her through the grating. His dark, evil face had always been displeasing to her, but since the deatlr of her betrothed and parents it had be-, come repulsive. When, therefore, in the course of the interview he pressed her to fly with him he met with an In stant and indignant refusal. Her scorn stung him to the quick. Beside him self with rage, he brought Ills deadly weapon once more into play and suc ceeded in wounding the girl through the grating, the obscurity of the place preventhig his action from being ob served. On her return to her room the girl felt a sharp pain in her breast. Exami nation of the spot showed that it was dotted with a single drop of blood. Physicians were hastily summoned. Taught by past experience, they wast ed no time in vain conjecture, but cut into the flesh and extracted the slen der steel, thus saving the girl’s life. The dastardly attempt occasioned a public outcry. The visit of Tebaldo to the convent became known and caused suspicion to turn upon him. The em issaries of the law descended suddenly upon him, his house was searched, and there the abominable invention was discovered. Swift justice followed, and he ended his days upon the scaf fold.
