POETRY.
What the Gurt0ca was Good
Far.

"Good ioi no.l .ng,' the farmer said,
As he made sweep at the ourdock's head
But then. he thought it was best no doubt,
To come some day and root 1t out.
So he lowered his scythe, and went his way,
To see his corn, to gather his hay;
And the weed grew safe and strong and tall,
Close beside the garden wall.
"Good for home," cried the little toad,
As he hopped out of the dusty road,
He had Just been having dreadful fright,
The boy who gave it is yet III sight,
Here it was cold and dark and green,
The safest kind ofa leafy screen.
The toad was happy, For" said he,
"The burdock was plainly meant for me"
GOOD for prop" the spider thought,
And to and fro with care he wrought,
Till he fastended it well to an evergreen.
Twas beautiful bridge-a triumph of skill
The flies came round, as idlers will;
The spider lurked in his corner dim,
The more that came the better for him.
"Good for play" said q child, perplexed
To know what frolic was coming next.
So she gathered the burrs that all despised,
And her city playmate was quite surprised
To see what beautiful basket or chair
Could be made, with little time and care,
They ranged their treasures about with pride
And played all day by the burdock's side.
Nothing is lost in this world of ours;
Honey comes from the idle flowers
The weed which we pass in utter scorn
May save a life by another morn.
Wonders await us at every turn.
No room for recklessness or abuse,
Since even a burdock has its use.

STRIKING BEER.
The Remarkable Flow from a
Franklin OIL WeII---A Brewers
Surprise.

Oil City Dcrrick.l
Any one familiar with the heavy
oil developments knows that q goodly
part of the drilling is done on the hin
known as the Point" near Franklin.
1t rises from the bank of French creek
in a very abrupt manner. Philip
CHEESEMAN'S brewery is situated at the
foot ofSouth Pork street, on the other
side. 1t is an immense vault, blasted
out Of the solid rock, and penetrates
into the hillside nearly 100 feet. In
this is stored large quantities of lager
beer. The casks that hold the beer
contain on an average about ten bar.
rcls each. One cask in the rear end
of the vault is used as a supply
eask. All the others are connected
with this one by pipes, and the sup
ply cask being sunken, is always kept
full of beer. The hill at this place
is so steep that it cannot be as
cended,
Above this vault, on the hilltop,
Rial y Son own a lease. They drilled
a number Of wells on their lease, and
they were all profitable. Some time
ago they located No. 9 directly oyer
this beer vault, Tho rig was built and
things ran along in the usual manner
for about q week. When they had
reached a depth of 400 feet, 200 feet
less than where they usually find the
sand, the drill struck a c%revice and
dropped away several feet, The tools
were withdrawn from the hole and
the bOiler run 1t came up seemingly
full of oil. Bail as they would they
could not exhaust the supply. They
decided to tube the we'll, and were or.
dered to do o by Mr.. Rial, The next
day the well was tubed without being
shot. They commenced to pump it,
threw the fluid out at a great rate.
Noticing something queer about the
oil, one of the men tasted it, He
found it so good that he put his
lips to the pipe and took long puffs oe
the delicious stuff. First one and
then another drank. They became
what is known as drunk. The owners
visited the well, and were overcome.
Operators came to see it, drank, and
we're overcome. The people of the
town who had heard Of it went up the
bill, drank, and were overcome.
Little by little they came to realize
what they had been drinking. One
man was found in the crowd who had
tasted beer before He affirmed that
il was beer, but they laughed at him
How would this Rip Van Wrinkle
elixir get into the bowels of the Garth Z
At last they deoideu to call in un
doubted authority on the beer ques.
ton, and sent for Philip Grossman.
Grossman came. He tasted it once,
twice, and then he tore his hair. 81,
it beer2' they asked. Beer? Yes
it's mein own make. Mein Gott il
Himmell you are pumping my beef
vault dry" Such was the fact. ant
the way that we'll was shut down was;
caution. They visited the vault ant
found it to be SO. Three of the largt
casks were empty.

Two AGccfionate Rivals.

galveston News.i
There were several men clustered
around the stove of a Galveston sa
loon, and, somehow or other, the sub.
ject OF newspapers came up for discus
sion. Que man said that the editors
were more jealous Of each other than
any other class; they never had a
good word for each other, etc.
A long haired youth, with a solemn
look, spoke up. and, heaviDg a sigh,
said that he had had some experience
with editors, and had found them the
reverse OF jealous to each other; that
a Texas editor was always willing to
deny himself comforts for the benefit of
a brother editor.
Where did hat happen?"
ut happened in a Western town.
where l lived" sighed the young
man.
81 had dashed of little poem of
ten or fifteen cantos about Beautiful
Spring There were two rival papers
in the place-the Bugle and
Trombone. / heard that the editors
were deadly enemies and sighed to
shed each others gore; and / was
afraid, if | let the Trombone publish
it first there would be a deadly en-.
counter. | finally resolved TO have it
appear simultaneously in both papers.
When l called on the editor Of the
Trombone, he said that the editor of
the Bugal had a large fam
lily, and he would pre-.
fer it to appear in the Bugle, as
personally he loved the editor Of the
Bugle. | went to the Bugle man, and
he said the editor Of the Trombone
was his warmest personal friend, and
he would be glad if would let him
have tho poem, as il would be putting
bread in his mouth and clothes on his
back. So, owing TO the love OF those
two editors had for each other, |
couldn't get my poem in either OF
their papers, and it hasn't been pub
lisbed yet. | never saw two men SO
anxious to help each other out of dis
tress," and once more long haired poet
sighed likes bellows.
There was a pause, md an old coon
with a irost-bitten nose drawled
out.
"Yer never tried them same editors
with a cash advertisement, did
yor?'
Tho poet answered in tie NEGATIVE.
whereby the audience nodded their
heads and vinked at each other.
