Nuptial entanglements of the most singular nature are often found and are viewed with good natured tolerance by the townsfolk. There Is, for example, the case of an Insurance agent who has been married 19 times and Is on the most friendly terms with practically all of his exwlves. This man is not attempting to establish a matrimonial record, It "Just happens. The affairs of one coaple were so Involved they both came here to straighten them out. The pair engaged adjoining apartments and told neighbors they were here to divorce their respective spouses with the Intention to marry each other. She' cooked his meals and they chummed around together during the 90-day residence period here. When the residence was established she secured a divorce from her husband, her companion here was granted an annulment of his marriage, and the two married each other again. It was learned she had married a second time under the belief her former husband was dead, and then found he was still alive, so to avoid embarrassment and make everything legal, they came to Reno. But perhaps the most curious marital entanglement is that concerning two families who still live In perfect harmony directly across the street from each other. The husband of the first family fell in love with the wife In the second and yet each loved their own children, there being two children In the first and three in the second. So the husband divorced his wife, who was perfectly agreeable to the arrangement, and the wife of the second family divorced her husband and he was satisfied also. The two couples exchanged spouses, the man of the first family taking one child with him and the mother in the second family taking two children with her. The children all play together and attend the same school. A Chinese woman Is here getting a divorce frojp her occidental husband and a Japanese is establishing his residence to obtain a divorce frem w h i t e w i f e , v - < SALESMAN for Lubricating Oil and Paint; two lines combined.

Every mile of it contains $3,- 000 in virgin gold. The precious mela.1 found its humble resting place by reason of the fact that the crushed rock which was used in making the foundation of the highway was shipped from the ore dumps of the Cripple Creek gold field, one of the richest gold fields in the world. The gold In this material assayed $1.50 to the ton and with 2,000 tons of the crushed ore used to each mile, the gold ennteut of the highway is $3,000 a c'U'j or f io,G00 T6t the stretch of five miles. The reason that the ore was not refined again Is that the cost of extracting the gold would have cost more than what the gold was worth.

CAROLINE had expected to have a wonderful time when she went to visit her aunt 'and cousins In New York. But somehow when she arrived things were not what she bad expected them to be. Her cousins, Pauline and Sue, were changed, for one thing. They seemed to be so anxious all the time about their various engagements. They were anxious, too, about Caroline. - "You mustn't be too nice to Edward Lane," they told her, the evening Edward entertained them all. at dinner and the theater. "He's nice enough, of course, but he hasn't any money, and It's useless to have a roan like that hanging around all the time; It keeps other men away." "But--but he must have spent a good deal tonight," ventured their little cousin from the country. "Oh, yes., of course, Caroline," Sue anstoered. "But It probably took nearly every cent he earned last week to do It. Let's see--we'll have to have him here for dinner some time soon, to pay him back for last night; let's ask him the night Miss Hewitt comes, and get rid of both of them at once!" Caroline didn't like that way of doing things.. At her home in a sleepy little southern town you were friendly with people whether they had money or not. Caroline knew without being told that her cousins wanted to get married-- and with tbem, getting married meant marrying a man who had money. To Caroline it seemed hideous, but Sue and Pauline and their mother seemed to think It was the only thing for a girl to do. "You Just have to have money," Sue told her once. "Without It life's Just Impossible!" One of the young men to whom Pauline was especially nice discovered that Caroline was the daughter of the-famous Hilton Proctor, and devoted himself to her after that. Her aunt told Caroline that she ought to be delighted, that the young man was a great catch. Caroline said nothing. He gave a dinner for Caroline, a month after she arrived In New York, at a very asmart hew restajirant. It happened to be an evening when she was feeling very lonely, when it seemed that she just must pack her trunk in the morning and go straight home. She was trying hard to pretend to enjoy herself, when, glancing up, she saw the face of the young man who was picking up the soiled dishes. ;i, "Why--why--" she ftimed in her chair, but he had gone oitf&o the kitchen, and the next courifce was being served. Caroline was v?jry quiet until It was over, and the yOung man appeared again. Then, as he removed her plate, she laid her hand on his arm. "You're Billy Raines, aren't you?" she said, In her soft, southern drawl. "Yes--I am," he said, and his voice had that same soft drawl in it "Caroline!" exclaimed her aunt, from across the table. "That's the bus boy!" "I don't care," ^Carolina answered defiantly. "I used to know him down home--and--" He had come back for more dishes, reluctantly. She m'otioned him to her aide. "Billy, what are you doing here? Won't you come to see me?" she asked. "I'm so lonely. Please!" ."Why, Caroline. I--I--" "Cyoline!" her aunt exclaimed again, and the young man disappeared once mor& He didn't come back again. "I haven't seen him for ages; he ran away from home," she said. "And now maybe I've lost him. Oh--" „ And suddenly the other diners in the smart restaurant were amazed to see a pretty young girl in a white and silver frock rise from her chair and hurry across the dining-room, to the door of the kitchen--and rush straight through it, with the head waiter following. "Billy!" she cried, as she caught up to him. "Why are you running away from me?" "Because I'm a flat failure," he told her. "I said Pd iome up here and make good, because 1 was sure I could sell that play I wrote down home. Well, I haven't sold it, and I had to earn a living sOmeliow--yoa shouldn't have spoken to me!" "Yes, I should!' Caroline told him, catching hold of his arm with both hands. "I don't care what you're doing-- I love you, and 1 always will I* Caroline's aunt scolded fran tically, and tried to prevent the wed ding which, nevertheless, took plac^ the next afternoon. She stopped scold ing only when filly's play was ac cepted, a tfeek later. Then she told her friends, as Caroline had told everyone from the start, "Of course, I knew that dear Billy would succeed!" And she took credit to herself fov the very pretty romance that grew out of Caroline's-peaking to the but boy. N«w Idas at BarbscM Natural gas solved the problem of roasting a ton of beef at a barbecue In the Southwest, at which 3,000 customers of a utility company were fed. A trench three feet deep and about fifty feet long was dug and burners of perforated casing were placed below a double layer of loose brick. A heavy wire grate was stretched above the brick and on it was placed the ton of beef to be roasted. ; : ** '-t laarawtt Cigar The Retail Tobacconist says that At one of the features of an exposition held at Seville, Spain, was a cigar made in Cuba by Senor Fonseca which took four and a half months to complete.
