Held on Too Tong.

Two years ago oil was struck at the Mar
shall farm, la Venango county. The farm
contained $50 acres, and before the oil was
found would have been considered good sale
at $40 an acre. The wells drilled ON the farm
were big "gushers', and opened upa new oil
territory. A month after the first well was
struck the farm was sold for $500 The
BARLEY farm adjoining also proved TO be an
oil farm, and was sold for $75, 900. The
school district of the township owned an acre
of ground which, with a red schoolhouse,
was worth $500. The schoolhouse property
was surrounded by the big wells, and all in
dications were that the acre was the center
of rich oil pool.
A prominent oil operator offered the school
directors $50, 900 for the acre The offer was re-
fused. They held out for 500 900. The would
be purchaser raised his offer toS75, 900 This
was the highest price ever offered for an acre
of land anywhere in the country. If it had
been accepted this rural district would have
been the richest country schoolhouse district
in the Union. 1t was refused. Wells were
put down all around the acre. In the course
of time the school directors concluded to tap
the rich veins of oil that were supposed TO lie
under the red schoolhouse and its lot At an
expense of several thousand dollars they
have put down wells, and the tract Is found
TO be as dry as a bone. Tho schoolhouse prop
erty Is now rated at its old value OF 600,
and the officials are very sick.-Alleatown

Three good looking, well dressed gentlemen
walk into aleading hotel, register as from

The waiter politely replies that it Is not in

The three Marco Bozaris drinkers oratori-
