Only a Smile.

Only smile that was given me
On the crowded street one day,
But it pierced the gloom Of my saddened heart
Like sudden sunbeam's ray.
The shadow Of doubt hung over me,
And the burden of pain bore,
And the voice Of hope could not hear,
TIL ough listened o'er and DER.
But there came rift in the crowd about
And face that knew passed by,
And the smile caught was brighter to me
Than the blue Of summer sky;
For it gave me back the sunshine,
And it scattered each somber thought
And my heart reioiced in the sindling warmth
Which that kindly smile had wrought.
Only smile from kindly face
On the busy street that day!
Forgotten as soon as given, perhaps,
As the donor went her way
But straight to my heart it went speeding,
To gid the clouds that were there,
And found that Of sunshine and life's blue

Natural Gas In Indiana.
Some Idea of the vast importance Of the
natural gas interests of Indiana may be
gained from study of the report recently
made by the State geologist He has been
collecting all the informa ton he could pos.
sibly get concerning the subject, and from
the results of his investigations we learn
that the gas area of Indiana is les miles in
length by 65 miles in width; altogether
there are 3sl paying wells in the district
The entire flow of gas is placed at 600, Oo0,-
900 feet, OF which, it is calculated, some
thing like 1000 600 feet go to waste. The
average flow of gas from each well is
stated as being about 10000 feet. The re-
port further mentions the fact that dur.
ing the past two years seventy-nine manu-
factories have located in Indiana, simply
and solely because of the fact that they
could obtain this fuel. Their combined cap
itai is stated, in Fire and Water, as reach
