Competition In Europe Against

has been discovered that the hitherto ue-
glectsd oil districts IN Galicia possesses
capabilities that warrant snticipations Of An
immense yield. Although the wells were
discovered some time ago. the people 10 the
oil regions neither understood It's utilization
nor had they all the machinery at baud.
and the samples sent to market were too In
ierior to bs commeodable as competitor
sgainst American standard white. Now,
however, in . small village twenty refner-
les are already busy. GAllicis's future ss
o petroleum producing country, Americans,
now on the spot, direct from the oil regions
OF Pennsylvania, and thoroughly familiar
with the sn'j-ct, declare TO b. incaloniable,
aud the oil production OF that province now
increases dsily. A number of companies
have Immediately been formed 10 the coun-
try; few at first; they have now 'wellsd TO
a great many ones. And 1t should be uo'ed
that oil the prospecting bas been surface
boring hitherto, no hole having been sunk
below depth of 800 to 900 feet, while the
Americaus hop for the greatest results at q
pro,undity of 900 to 800 feet The full
filmeut Of these expectations is oil the more
likely, AZ all tho experience thus far made
10 the Gsllicisn oil regions proves that the
bulk OF the oil ascsnds from certain depth.

A TRIUMPH ORDER.

There was desperate men, Wild women,
And dark eyed Amszon girls,
Aud Que little boy, with peach down
cheek
And yellow clustering surs.
The csptain seized the little walt,
And said, "Wbat dost thou bsse!"
"Sapristi, Citizen captain!
I'm Communist, my desrr'
every we'll. Then you die With The
otherl!"
"very we'll! That's my sff.irl"
But fret Let me take TO ny mother,
Who lives by the wine shop there.
"My fathers watch. You zee it,
A gay old thing is u uotf
1t would please the old lady TO have II
Then I'll come back here and bs shot" "
THAT is the last We shall see Of him.
The grizzlad captain grinned.
As the little man skinned down the bill,
Like . swallow down the wind.
For the joy of killing had lost its zest
In .hs. glut of those awful days,
And Death writhed gorged like . greedy
From the arch to Pere.la. Chaiss.
But before the last platoon had fred,
The child's shrill voice vas heardi
"Houp la! the old girl made such Q row
feared l should brake ny word"
Against the bullet pitted wslf
He took his place with the rsst,
A hutton Was lost from biz ragged heuss
Which showed bic soft, white breast.
"Now blaze away my childrepf
With your little one-two--three!'
The Chsssepots tore the stout young
heart.
A saved Society!
