AN AsToNIstiED DUTCHMAN. - =
Dutchman in the Pennsylvania oil re-.
giOns let his lands to al oil company
last Spring, on condition of receiving
one.eighth of the oil procured. The
well proved to be pretty good one,
and the farmer began to think the oil
men should give him a better chance,
and ventured to tell them so. They
asked him what he wanted. He
said they ought to give lin one
twelfth. The arrangement was finally
made, with the understanding that the
Dutchman was not to tell any one. All
went smooth till the division day came,
when our friend was early at hand to
see how much better he would be OFF
under the new bargain. Eleven bar
rels were rolled to one side for the oil
men aud one for him. CLOVIS dish p"
said lie. 81 think l was to get more
as before. You have made some mis-
take" The matter was explained to
him that he formerly got one barrel
out of every eight but it was his prop
osition to take one out of every twelve.
This revelation took him aback. He
scratched his head, looked cross, ana
relieved his swelling breast of feelings
of self.reproach by Indignantly remark
ing "Well, dat ish the first time as
ever knOwed eight was more as
dWelYe."
