couldn't quite understand why his own
suite took such elaborate, trouble when
waking him if he happened to be asleep
when approaching his railway destina-
ton. The cause was not the dread of
royalty, but the Persian idea that dur
ing sleep the soul wanderS away from
the body, and If q sleeper is so suddenly
aroused that the soul cannot return in
time to its accustomed home, death will
be the result.
His tact was demonstrated beyond
question at Birmingham. When he
stepped on the platform the crowd fairly
mobbed him. He took in the situation
at glance, smiled and readily respond
ed to the requests of scores of men and
women to shake hands with him. Had
he been an European, says one London
journal. instead of all Eastern SOW
ereign. he could not have shown him
self more apt to comprehend the free
crowd. No one wonders at Ills ability
to rule Persia.
When he went to Sheffield on enter
ing the station, after listening to an adj
dress of welcome, he found the waiting
room packed with presents for him, the
gifts of the various local manufacturers.
There were fishing hooks and needles,
small and large, trOut-fishing rods,
tackle of all kinds, marvellous variety
of artificial flies, minnows and other
kinds of bait, crochet needles and other
small ware, all put up in handsome
boxes, The shah, through Prince NAL
com Khan, expressed his thanks and
said the presents would be put on eXhi-

engagement; she had made it a point
that he was only to be told by her own
lips. All! what terrible telling it was
on the evening when he came back joy
Gus and radiant from his cruise! The
quivering aspen leaves which had
listened to their former condolences had
a sad tale to tell after that night-of
wild Sobs and imprecationS and agony.
Stella, his Stella, the wife of Standish!
free only at this moment by his forbear-
ance!
The cruel days kept on, Leo and Stella
trying hard to hide their own wretched-
ness within their own breasts. Leo
never met Standish; he was not to be
at the marriage. His parents under
stood that he felt little sore, but
thought with light hearts that he would
soon get over it. The night before the
Leo had left London, but again the rust
ling leaves sighed over the sorrows of
those two poor breaking young hearts.
Their lips were pressed together in an
agony of farewell; it was an agony in
which no joy mingled, because there
was no hope.
Swear" whispered Leo with wild
intensity. "Swear"
And she answered, in a voice
strangely like his own, II Swear!"
Never was bridegroom more tri-
umphantly glad than StandiSh. as he
put his wife into the carriage that was
to take them away for their honeymoon.
A friend had lent him lovely place in
Surrey for fortnight. Stella had borne
up during the ceremony, had smiled,
had accepted and returned the embraces
of family and friends. But no sooner
was she in the carriage when reaction
came, and she sank back white and ex-
hausted. Standish was forbearanee
itself. He made every allowance for
her. AS he was strong, he was merci-
full. She scarcely spoke dozen words
during the long drive, and when they
reached their destination she COM
planned of fatigue and went to her
room.
Dinner had been waiting half an hour.
Standsn felt a delicacy in disturbing
his wife. At last he senther maid. The

times without receiving an answer.
Standish ran up stairs, knocked loudly,
and, after a moment, burst open the
door.

Leo in way that he, poor lad, had

AT the Marlborough house garden
party, seeing young woman who struck
his fancy, he marched over to her, and,
planting himself square in front, stared
at her until she had to beat retreat.
His standard for female beauty may
be judged by this: When the duchess

His famous emerald is described as

DE PROFUNDIS.

You ought to see my lady paint
On leather. ivory. wood or china;
Her fancy knoweth no restraint
The highly gifted Adelina-
You ought TO see the odes she writes,
The fervid, warm, imprisoned stanzas,
And note the ardor she delights
To pour into her gay romanzas!
You ought to hear her then dilate
Upon the ancient Magma Charta,
In animated terms debate
Upon the fame of Rome or Sparta.
You ought to read the books she wrote
With such unwonted force and power
You ought to hear my lady quote
From Huxley, Kant and Schopenhsuerl
And yet, to praise learned wife
Is not the purpose of my ditty-
You know not all my inward strife,
SO, gentle reader, give me pity.
I'm at the mercy OF the cook;
oh, / am tempted oft to flee her
Ny wife? She's on another hook,
And nowadays seldom see her.

ACTIVITY IN OIL

Texas is now coming forward Ms an oil
producing state. Discoveries have al
ready been made in various sections of
East and West Texas. In East Texas, so
far, the discoveries have been confined
principally to st. Augustine, Jasper. Har-
din and Andalusia counties. In the west
ern portion Of the state oil has been
found in fair quantities in Astosa, Brown,
Mcclellan, Wilson and Duval counties.
In Western Texas the oil so lar produced
is of lighter gravity and contains a greater
amount of volatile substance than that in
the eastern portion. 1t is also found there
at a greater depth and more closely re.
sembles the Pennsylvania product.
biologists are of the belief that the oil
fields found in Western Texas are a con-
tlnuatiOn of the wells which abound in
Old Mexico, and which arc pronounced
by the highest authorities to be of SUI
perior illuminating quality. In the West
ern Texas fields the oil is not found in
pockets, but rises up TO the surface CON
tlnually, and the presence of gas is also
frequently manifested. 1t is said that
many companies are being organized to
work the oil business. The amount OF
interest shown in the matter is Indicative
of the fact that oil deposits are rapidly as
Stunning a tangible value. The report OF
the Pennsylvania state geologist, which re-
Gently went the rounds of the press, shows
that from scientific deductions he is con-
WINGED that the Eastern oil supply cannot
last very many years longer and that Wy
oming must be looked to as the storehouse
of the country's future oil.
Wyoming's oil will soon be a great
source of revenue to the territory.

THE TERRITORIAL LEVY.
IL Is Somewhat Higher Than II was
Last Year.

The territorial board of equalization,
consisting of Governor Warren, Auditor
Grant and Treasurer Voorhees,, met yes.
terday for the purpose of fixing the terri.
torial tax levy.
There are still some minor finishing
touches TO be put to their labors but they
were practically concluded last night. The
levy so far as fixed upon will be a trihe
higher than it was last year. The capi-
tol building fund tax is lowered half a
mill and the general venue fund tax
raised half a mill.
The levy as far as fixed upon is as fol-
lows: Territorial bonds, six-tenths of a
mill; insane asylum, two tenths; UNIVERSE
ty income, fi~ve-tenths; stock indemnity,
five tenths; capitol, two mills; general
rcvenue, three mills.
The total assessment will figure up a
little over S3I. 00O, 900. The Union Pa
cifc is assessed at $3.50 per mile and the
Wyoming Central at S., 100 per mile.
The comparative figures will be pub
lished tomorrow.
