BRAKES DREAM OF FIRE.
An Odd and FancIful Story OF the Boy
hood OF Noted Man.

from the OH Citv BAssard.
Probably many OF tho readers of the
Blizzard have never heard of the strange
dream Col E. L. Drake, the discoyerer Of
oil. had when he was a boy. OF course,
all boys have dreams, and perhaps this
was no more remarkable than many an
other, but in view OF the dreamer's sub
sequent discovery IL seems strange.
When Mr.. Drake was mere boy he
was sitting one day upon the wide old
porch that shaded the entrance TO his
fathers plain abode. Tired Of his play he
laid down, boy-like, upon the porch, and
the autumn breezes, heavy with the fra
GRANGE of the fields, lulled him 10 sleep
and sleeping he dreamt. With his brother
in iaucy-he raKed the dry stubbles OF
the wheat field. They tuRged and tOled
away until they had accumulated great
stack OF straw, nearly half a mile from
tue house. Then for bonfire. While bis
brother watched with gleeful anticipa-
ton, Edwin touched a match 20 the pile.
They watched IL "a few minutes in &C.
stacy, but their mirth was turned 10 hOr-
ror when, their stack consumed, the
ground continued 10 blaze and burn.
They exerted all their strength 10 queuch
II, but in vain. The deyauring flames rose
higher and higher. The fire burned
deeper and wider. 10 followed their re-
ceding footsteps; and now. completely
terrified, The boys turned and fied 10 their
mother. When they reached the house,
Edwin. breathess and guilty, buried his
ioce IN her lap and confessed the deed.
She took him by the hand, stepped 10 the
door, ard, after watching the spreading
blaze tor moment, she said calmly and
without reprOach:
my son, you have set the world on
fire.. "
Nearly thirty years later these words OF
his mother, as he heard them 10 his
dream. were recalled by the burning OF
his on tanks few weeks after the first
well began 10 produce. When the tanks
burst, and the creeping flames swept over
the surface OF the creek, he may possibly
have entertained momentary suspicion
that his mothers words we're about TO be
fulfilled.

A FAMOUS PETITION.
How the Salvation Army stOrmed the
House OF Commons.

From the Pan Nat BHd9st.
The monster petition of the Salvation
Army, in favor Of raising the age of pro-
lection for girls, conveyed last week from
the Congress Hall at Clapton to West
minister, was about tour or i've feet in di-
ameter, and was placed on 4 wagon drawn
by four horses, accompanied by the band
and a special de achmcnt-tne Lie
Guards-ot the Salvation Army, wearing
white helmets. Several mounted
guards were 10 the van and rear
OF the procession. on each gaUle
of the covering for the wagon were the
words: "In the name Of God and the peO-
pile, and the Queen Mother and the nation,
the Salvation Army demands that this
iuiqulty shall cease" On the sides APP
peared the words: salvation Army Pc
titlOn for the protection OF young girls"
and notification that the monster petit
ton contained 1913, geo signatures, an emu
merstion which the officer in charge OF the
procession stated was under the marx.
Most OF the signatures were obtained In
London. on each corner Of the wagon
were banners with the word Beware"
only the wagon and the guard were al
lowed 10 approach the immediate vicinity
Of the Houses Of Parliament. The peti-
tiOn was lifted from the vehicle, and what
may BE described as an historical scene
ensued. Three dozen red-guernseyed and
white elmeted Life Guards" with "Sal-
walton Army" stamped on their breasts
and backs aud "He can save 10 the utter
most" embroidered upon their garments
like a shield, passed up Westminster
Han, headed by col" NicOl, under tue
direction of superintendent Denning, and
surrounded by a select crowd. AS the
half dozen relocated bearers of the petit
ton, and their comrades supporting
them, made their way into the outer
lobby, thence INTO the sacred inner lobby,
and finally into the House itself, a
striking spectacle was presented, and
when the place, the people and the cause
were all considered in conjunction the
scene became deeply impressive and sig

A Prosperous Infant.

JACKSON iHtch.J Pdtrt0t.
Let rs ask plain question, taking the
case of a single carpet manufacturer Of
this country to base it upon. Are the
people OF the United States any better off
because they have been taxed heavily
enough on all the carpets they have used
10 enable +. S. Higgins, OF New York,

twenty-tour years? IN 1880 the census
ear, and very prosperous one, the total
value of the carpets made IN the United
States was but $3l, 1872, S02, so that Mr..
Higgins profits for twecty-tour tariff
years amount to nearly the total value of
the carpet product for two years, taking
the amount produced during one OF the
very best Of these years as the basis for
calculation. No doubt the tariff has been
a glorious thing for Higgins, but Is it a
good thing for those whom it has COM

is the real question. The greatest good
Tor the greatest number-not the greatest
good for a very few-is the wisest ecOnOm-

LIKE HIS FATHER.
He was Afflicted with Stone in the
Bladder.

DlhuueEs
Mr.. S. W. Hicks, of Pleasant Valley, Ouch
ess county, n. Y, the son Of Mr.. E. s. Hicks,
whose name may have appeared in this jour
nal in connection with an article similar to
this, was, like his father, afflicted with Stone
IN the Bladder. only that his case was more
Sc ious than his fathers. The father advised
the son to write to DR.. David Kennedy, OF
Rondout, n. Y, who, he said, would tell him
what to do. Or. Kennedy replied, suggesting
the use Of KENNEDY'S FAVORlTE RENE
DG, which had worked so successfully in the
fathers case. Mr.. Hicks, who had been as
sured by the local physicians that they could
do nothing more for him, tried FAVORITE
REMEDY. After two weeks use of it he
passed stone = Of an inch long and Of the
thickness of a pipe stem. Since then he has
had no symptoms of return of the trouble.
Here is sick man healed. What better re-
suits could have been expected What greater
benefit could medical science confer? The
end was gained; tnat ID surely enough. DIR
Kennedy assures the public, by q reputation
which he cannot afford to imperil. that the
FANORIrE REMEDY does invlgOrate the
blood, cures liver, kidney and bladder COM
plants, as well as all those diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to females.
Thousands or Grateful People volun-
tarily testify in letters to DR.. Kennedy, with
a warmth and fullness of words which mere
business documents and certificates never
possess, what "tAvorite Remedy the great
specific for blood. liver and kidney disorders,
has done for them and their friends.

Uas argued that the charges were moderate
The defense claimed that the bill was ex-

prepation had been legally incorporated os
