He cant read so dont tell him. “Jist take him. He ain’t no good tome. He ain’t done noth- in but drink lemen extrakt and play a fiddel ever since I maried him 8 yars ago and I gotta feed seven kids of hisn. “Mebbe you can get him to cary a gun.

The shares rose in price to fabulous figures within six months. Upon his return to Lewistown Mr. Erving produced $235,000 in certi- shares in some of the best companies in the-oil field. He purchased since his return a ranch of 2200 acres nine miles from the city for $35,000, and also a city corner lot for $10,000, on which he has let a contract for erec- tion of a large brick block to cost $100,000.
