Sir William Napier and Little Joan.

Sir William Napier, one bright day,
Was walking down the glen
\ noble English soldier,
And the handsomest Of men.
Through fields and fragrant hedge-rows
He slowly wandered down
To quiet Priesthood village,
BY pleasant Bradford town.
With look and mien magnificent,
And step SO grand, moved he,
And from his stately front outshone
Beauty and majesty.
About his strong white forehead
The rich locks thronged and curled
About the splendor of his eyes,
That might command the world
4 sound Of bitter weeping
Came up to his quick ear,
He paused that instant, bending
His kingly head to hear.
Among the grass and daisies
Sat wretched little Joan,
And near her lay bowl of def,
Broken upon a stone.
Her cheeks were red with crying,
And her blue eyes dull and dim,
And she turned her pretty, woful face,
All tear stained, up to him.
Scarce six years old, and sobbing
In misery SO dreari
"Nhy, what's the matter, Posy:"
He aid,-"Come, tell me, dear
"It's Fathers bowl Eve broken;

took it safe, but coming back

but you can mend it, can't YOU"
Cried the despairing child
With sudden hope, as down on her.
Like some kind god, he smiled.
"Don't cry, poor little Posy!
can not make it whole.
But can give You siNpence
To buy another bowl"
He sought in vain for silver
In purse and pockets, too
And found but golden guineaS.
He pondered what to do
This time tomorrow, Posy,"
He said, "again come here,
And will bring You siXpence
promise Never fear
Away went Joan rejoicing
4 rescued child was she;
And home went good Sir William;
And to him presently
\ footman brings a letter.
And low before him bends,
"Will not Sir William come and dine
Tomorrow with his friends"
The letter read "And we've secured
The man among all men
You wish to meet. He will be here.
You Will not fail us them"
Tomorrow, Could he get to Bath
And dine with dukes and earls,
And back il time: That hour was pledge
II was the little girls

He must his friends refuse.
50 "a previous engagement
He pleaded as excuse.
Next day when She all eager,
Came DER the fields so fair,
a. sure as Of the sunrise
That she should find him there,
He met her, and the siXpence
Laid in her little hand.
Her woe was ended, and her heart
The lightest in the land.
How would the stately company,
Who had so much desired
His presence AT their splendid feast,
Have wondered and admired
As soldier, scholar, gentleman,
His praises oft are heard
T was not the least of his great dee Is

sell at auction for twice $50 900, 900. and
Chill will derive very large amount from
their ownership. africa and L0b0s islands
will be as completely III her possession

to war indemnity, and all the instructions
sent out from the department while was
secretary recognized that fact in the full
est degree. She is entitled, lis the Old
phrase went, to indemnity for the past
and security for the future. But Peru
ought to have been allowed to pay cash
indemnity and ought not to be subjected
to a destruction of her nationality The
territorial indemnity demanded is very
valuable. The province Of Tarapaca con
tains the wonderful bed of nitrate of soda,
which are capable Of producing an enor-
nous revenue. Under .judiciouS manage

islands are not seized by reasons Of con

three little islands off the coast of north
ern Peru, estimated to contain several
million tons OF guanO, and worth a very
large sum OF ready cash. In explanation
OF Chili'S easy conquest Of Peru Mr.,
Blaine said Chill got iron clad ships from
England, and materials of war from the
same source. CHILEAN soldiers marched

Forest Oil Notes.

Forest county oil news is getting
quite scarce, and the worst of all is,
from present indications, it is going to
get much scarcer before the winter is
over. The wells now to come in are
few, about the only ones being those
OH Wing Hill, and from the best re.
ports we can now gain, these are no
longer terror to the trade. 1t is
pretty well settled in the minds of
operators and dealers in oil, that they
are dusty, being now down below all
the saEd levels known 10 exist, and
yet no show of oil.
The Cornwell venture is about
given up IS dry. They haven't been
able to extract the tools yet, but as
the hole is supposed to be below the
depth where it was expected to get a
strike, there is DO longer any fear in
the mind of the average operator as to
its results; however, it may yet as.
tonish the trade, should they be able
to get it cleaned out.
The Balltown we'll, which was Civ.
ing the trade no little uneasiness,
came in last Saturday, and is dry.
Parties interested think it may make
small producer. The we'll is located
on the northern part of the Balltown
property, and the owners didn't place
much reliance on it from the start
believing it to be "off the belt" en-.
tirely. 1t is on warrant 1921.
The above are all the wildcats now
in the county, and there is no pros.
pect that there will be any more until
spring opens. which is why we remark
that oil news will likely be scarce fol
awhile in Forest county. In the
mean while the market booms all the
way from $1.14 to $1.30. and before
the week is out there is no telling
what she will be-perhaps $1.5O, SC
