ards brokers ordering them to buy
large blocks of oil. The monopoly had
laid its plans to boom the market, and
its Oil City brokers were ordered to
buy everything. 'Buy half a million
barrels" "buy q million barrels" "buy
two million barrels" were the way
these orders came in. They we're rid
dies to all but the brokers who received
them and Mike Heating, the messen-
ger boy who delivered them. Heating,
although mere boy, knew something
extraordinary was soon to happen.
The market, which had been stag
nant pool for q year, was already
creeping up the scale. Orders for i'm
mensc blocks of oil were still coming
rom the Standards headquarters.
There was no time to lose, but what
could boy do without dollar in his
pocket? Heating went to one of the
largest operators on the floor of the
exchange, outside of the Standards
agents, and told him he had "point-
err" The broker laughed at him. The
boys earnestness finally commanded
attention, and the broker agreed TO his
proposition, which was that the broker
should furnish money for ''dear if he
felt satisfied with the information, and
divide the profits equally. Then the
messenger told the broker what he
had, and of the kilograms be had been
carrying from the Standards Cleveland
Office. The next message that fell into
the boys hands was carried secretly to
the broker and translated. 1t was an
order to buy everything that was Of
fered. The broker probably swallowed
tc keep his heart down; any way, he
went back to the exchange and began
to buy. He saw the Standards agents
buying right and left, and was satisfied
big deal was in progress. He took
everything he could get until he had
round million barrels. The market
was already jumping fast, and his
million barrels had been secured at an
average cost of 70 cents. He was load
ed to the guard. Orders to buy and
orders to sell we're pouring in from
every quarter, and the excitement was
become intense. The market was still
bounding upward, with the usual fuc-
tuations. Every time the price al
vanced cent or declined a cent, the
broker saw a loss Or a profit Of SIC, 900.

the marked scored for so cents he be-
gan to unload. The Standard men
were on hand to take everything, and
he got rid Of all his oil at an average
price of so cents barrel. He had
bought at 70, and his profits were
therefore cents barrel, or $50, 900 in
all. He divided equally with Mike
Heating, who had unraveled the Stand
ards cipher, according to agreement.
Il is well enough to remember that oil
touched S1.35 during this ten days
squirt, and if the broker had held on
until the top was reached, the profits
of the two would have been $630,000.

he was shown through some of the old
buildings, converts and jails that were
erected by the Spsniards. In the wall
of enc of these ancient buildings he
noticed small opening and he nstur-

what it meant. He was told that it

ener was dead already, and didn't give

AN ENTERPRISING BOY.
How n Messenger Made $4,000, and
Missed Making IL $4,000.

The Standard Oil Company, the only
concern in the world that is powerful
enough to compel the combined trunk
line railroads to do its bidding, de-
msnding and receiving from them rates
which made opposition impossible, and
crushed out every rivsl, has lately been
beaten by a messenger boy. In the
history of the Standard this is the only
time it has ever been outwitted. Tom
Scott, when alive and president of the
Pennsylvania railroad, was outgener-
aled by the Standard. Vanderbilt and
his allies was not match for Rockfel-
Ter, and they were compelled to allow
him rebates which enabled him to build
up The greatest monopoly the world
has ever known. When he got ready
he laid pipe line o; his own from the
oil regions to Cleveland in one direc-
ton, and from the oil regions to the
sesbosrd in another direction, and then
told the trunk.line managers who had
enriched him, that they could 90 to
that place where the worm dieth not
and the fre is not quenched. But this
man with his millions has been out
witted by Mike Heating. 16 years old,
messenger boy ofthe Western Union
Telegram Company, at Oil City. Mike
has been IN the employ of the telegraph
company since he was old enough to
carry dispatches, aud nearly all of his
time he has been iu the oil exchange,
at Oil City, carrying messages to snd
from the brokers. The large operators
In petroleum send their dispatches in
cipher. The boy had carried SO many
messages sent by the Standard from its
headquarters at Cleveland, that he had
unrayeled the mystic characters and
could read them like printed page,
Just prior to the recent extraordinary
advance in the petroleum market,
when the price jumped in few DAYS
from 81 cents to. 50. Heating carried

NOT IN VAIN.

I have not lived in vain;
Were it alone for this,
That have softened others pain,
And shared in others bliss.
That in return for kindly words
I've caught some looks Of pleasure,
Shining on me from truthful hearts
Hearts that queen might treasure.
I do not live in vain.
When I hear the hearty blessing
From lips that never meanly feign
The love they are protesting;
When the hand of friendship keeps mine
own
In warm caressing bond,
And my name is breathed in tender tone,
Almost too deeply fond.
Full power to love is mine;
And this power nay lot enrichins,
Bid. fairy joys triumphant Irvine,
And renders life bewitching.
And till my love can dry no tear,
AND win no love again,
| will not tire of waiting here,
Nor think | live in vain.
