Mystery.

An oil well is a mystery" when its
yield is kept secret by the owners, for
the purpose of making money by af-
fecting the rush of oil in the market.
II a new well proves to be a gusher,
the price of oil is lowered; if but a
''small producer or a dry hole, prices
go up. So. by keeping secret the char
acter of n new well, those on the Gin
side" are able to take advantage of any
changes that occur in the price of oil
through the rumors which Immediately
get ailoat concerning it, and TO make
money by buying and selling o%il-specu-
lating. as il is called. 1t sometimes
happens, even, that false rumors are
circulated by interested persons. Every
effort is made, however, TO discover
what the mystery really is. Scouts
are sent out for that especial purpose,
and they use every device and strata
gem TO obtain the desired information,
sometimes climbing trees and endeavor-
ing with iield-glasses to spy out the Sc
cret. On the other hand every effort is
made to prevent them from learning
anything; and some amusing and ex-
citing incidents occur in consequence.
A guard is on duty at the well. day and
night, and outsiders are kept at a.
great a distance as possible. Samuel

He Was One and All.

While the train waited ut 4 small

Office of the local paper and was met nj
the door by n tall man who wore a
swarthy shirt and Il hat made during
the goth O%lympiad.
Where is the editor?' asked.
Ppm the editor"
"Ah! Then, will YOU show me your
office? | also am n Journalist"
well, pilgrim" there isn't much to
show, unless YOU are fond of gazing at
an old hand press that wheezes like it
had the asthma when | run it, and
punches holes through the paper in
the vain attempt to do printing"
Where is the large and efficient
corps of a~ssistantsP'
Haven't any. The only assistant |
ever had, worked Il week, and is now
sueing me for his wages"
Have you no reporter"
Certainly not. There is nothing TO
report around here. Once there was
adog fight, but it happened away in
the dim, dead past, and has been
written up so often that when | touch
the subject, the village sexton rings
the church-bell to warn me that it is a
chestnut"
"Who operates your hand-press?"
II do. | had Il boy to do it once,
but when he heard the harsh, UNI
natural moaning of the machine. he
laughed in Il weird way and went out
n dwelling maniac"
''Who solicits advertisements for
you?'
Nobody. People don't advertise
here. | carry three patent medicine
ads, however. One is for Il cough
syrup, another for a liquid glue, and
one for u liver pad. They pay in mer-
chandise. / have three cords of liver
pads in the back yard, and | live on
cough syrup. ] am trading the liquid
glue to a furniture dealer, to pay my
funeral expenses when this poor, lisp.
ing, %stammering tongue is planted in
the grave. If you feel chilly you can
go out and strap a few pads about you,
and you are welcome"
do you do job printing!
mo; there isn't any TO do. | print
ed n horse bill for n man once, with a
cut of the horse in the center, but when
it saw the bill it fell to the ground a
corpse, and the owner wouldn't pay
me"
Have you many subscribersPh
Eyes, but they never pay anything.
One farmer brought me a dozen eggs
last week, but they were of the coinage
of 1882, and the perfumery that was
stored in them gave me the catarrh."
''Who is your office boy?'
81 am. When | get through mould
ing public opinion, and discussing the
pertinent topics of the day, | sweep
out the office and 60 round delivering
the paper to subscribers. After that
engage in u band-to-hand conflict with
the press for another weeks issue, and
when my weary form SINKS beneath it's
load of toll and care, go down cellar
and refresh myself with n draught of
cough syrup. 1t is n sad life, stranger,
