HER DARLING IN A TREE.
The Startling Sight Which Confronted
u Fond Mother.

From the Clarion Republican.
Near Raines flour mill stands hcmlock tree
which is probably 100 feet high, Mt the butt is
oil of six feet in circumference, and is minus
limbs for at least ten feet up its jagged trunk.
On the extreme top of the tree a wild grape
vine blossomed and bore fruit this season and
number OF the young lads have climbed the
tree at various times to secure this luscious
fruit. DIR. Z. N. Sloan lives near this locality
and is the father of bright, pretty little
daughter. who is now in her seventh year and
is not overly large for her age. This little miss
has often looked with covetous eyes on the sue
cess of the boys in securing the grapes and
lately she concluded to try the same method
adopted by them. When discovered sho was
on one of the topmost limbs standing upright,
holding herself in position with one hand,
while with tho. other she was gathering the
finest punches of grapes.
Her mother having missed the little lady
went in search of her and. discovering her
position. to say that she was scared but slightly
expresses her feelings, but knowing that to
show any signs of fear might cause the little
one to lose courage she spoke to her in her
usual pleasant manner and commanded her to
come down immediately. The little one. always
quick to obey. Immediately proceeded to do SO,
and, as nimbly n squirrel, she climbed down
the tree and landed safely OH the ground. A
number of persons had gathered near while
she was coming down, and while words Of sur
prise were expressed at her nimbleness. yet
feeling OF fear for her safety was felt by all 1t

THE FIRST OIL WELLS.
How the Mound Builders Gathered the
Golden Grease i'm Pennsylvania

Petroleum was sought and used in North
America perhaps as early as anywhere else in
the world, since it was collected in many places
and in large quantity by that mysterious peo-
pie or peoples whom we know as the Mound
Builders" says a writer in the Pittsburg Dss-
patch. "When. in 1859, 1 went to Titusville,
like thousands of others. called there by the
Drake oil well. noticed that the bottom lands
on OIL creek, below the town and where COW
cred with magnificent forest OF hemlock trees,
were pitted in peculiar way; that Is, the sur
face was occupied by a series of contiguous de-
pressions ten or fifteen feet in diameter and from
one 10 three feet in depth. These were circular
and symmetrical. in that respect differing from
the pits formed by uprooted trees.
"Inquiring the cause. a bystander answered
my question by taking me to his well. As it
Glanced this well was sunk in one of the pits
before referred to. 1t was carried to the depth
of about Twenty-Five feet in the earth. when the
rock was reached and the drilling begun.
Throughout this depth it followed the course
of an old well, which had been cribbed mp
with timber, and in it was ladder such az
was commonly used in the copper mines of
Lake Superior by perhaps the same people who
worked the oil wells.
This ladder was a portion Of a small tree
of which the trunk was thckiy set with
branches These we're cut of four or five
inches from the trunk. aud thus formed steps
by which the well owner could go down and
gather the oil as il accumulated on the surface
of the water, just as was done by the old oil
producers on the banks of the Caspian and the
1rrawaddy. Some of the trees which grew
over the pits which marked the sites OF oil
wells were three and even Tour feet in diam
eter, thus proving that the wells had been
abandoned at least 400 or 800 years ago. At
Enniskilten, Canada, and at Mecca nd Graf
ton, Ohio, found similar ancient oil wells"
