A Dutchman in the Pennsylvania oil
regions let his lands to an 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 better chance, and ventured
to tell them so. They asked him what
he wanted. He said they ought to give
him one.twelfth. The arrangement was
finally made, with the understanding
that the Dutchman was not to tell any
one.9 All went smoothly until the divi-
sion day came, when our friend was ear
ly at hand to see how much better he
would be off under the new bargain.
Eleven barrels were rolled to one side
for the oil men and one for him. elbows
dlsh?" said he. IL think 1 was to get
more as before. You have made some
mistake" The matter was explained to
him that he formerly got one barrel out
of every eight, but it was his proposition
to take one out of every twelve. This
revelation took him back. He scratch
ed his head, looked cross and relieved
his swelling breast of feelings of self-re-
proach by Indignantly remarking, "Well,
dat ish the first time as ever knowed
eight was more as welve."-Miner's
