on the adjoining farm, and should
lt prove to be q big producer, his
land would be very valuable. On
the other hand, should 1t be q
"duster," he could not even get as
much for the farm as he had agreed
to pay for 1t. Still he did not sell,
and the time passed rapidly away.
Only few days remained before
he would have to pay $4,000 or the
sale would be Cancelled. Twenty.
sl ght days had passed and the we'll
was not down, although they ex-
pected to reach the Gil rock every
hour. On the night Of the twenty.
ninth day he sat up in the derrick
with the drillers, for they knew
they were within a few feet OF the
sand. Midnight came and the
hands were relieved by another
force. His last day was come and
was wearing away, and he knew
that the farmer would not walt one
minute longer than the law re.
quired him, for he had several
times been offered a larger amount
for the land. AT 2 O'Clock the sand
was reached, aud the we'll proved
to be the largest producer yet
struck In the new field. The news
of the new we'll rapidly spread, and
by noon the next day q large num-
ber of wealthy oil men were on the
ground, anxious to secure the ad-
jacent territory. That day the
young man sold bis farm for $1,000
per acre, clearing in 80 days
800, 900, with capital Of $25 to
start on.

Coquetry in night clothes Is as

The day Of the night-cap is COM
pletely gone. Few old women and
no girls now make themselves
frightful by covering their heads
with caps. A new practice among
girls is to sleep with their hair
flowing free, and the sight Of it
spreading out over a pillow is GER
tainly very winsome; but there are
tangles In the morning to pay for 1t
and more sensible plan Is to use q

ders, baby fashion, is one of the
new kinks; and the extreme OF ab.
surdity Is reached when night

the arms, limbs and bosoms are left
bare all night by mere apology
for q chemise.
This nonsense, however, is not
much INDUCED in by respectable

In the stores Is q mod fication Of

herself In. The cut is jsunty. the
trim mings elaborate aud the idea
seems to successfully combine

the figure loosely, and If the figure
be reasonably good the effect ought
to be quite enhancing. Night
gloves are new toilet device.
They are made OF cloth or undressed

keep the hands soft and white.
Some Of them are alleged by the

A Bold SpecuIator.
(Titusvillo Herald.)

During the f1rst oil excitement q
young man came to Oil City with
but $25; but he wore good clothes,
had good education ami plenty of
check. After surveying the situa-
ton for day or two he concluded
to speculate, and finding o farmer
who had not yet leased or sold his
land, he represented him self as the
agent Of wealthy company, with
instructions TO buy up land. The
farmer was rather reluctant aboul
selling, but hnally terms were
agreed upon and the papers were
drawn up and signed. Twenty dol
lars were paid down to bind the
bargain; $4,000 were to be paid IN
80 days and 5000 more in six
months. He had but SIS to meet
an obligation of $lO. .OJO, but Of de
spairiDg he quietly awaited the
completion Of u we'll that was be
