cpssion, 80 far as the matter of physic-

fresh winds and out-of-door sports are
certainly better calculated to give pure
blood and healthful flesh to children
than miles of brick wall and pave

more innocent and healthful in mind
that it's country cousin of the same age.
1 am speaking now Of the middle
class children in the towns, not
Of the gutter bred unfortunates
who swarm in the tenement districts
There is no class in the country which
corresponds to them, and therefore no
comparison could be made. But the
children who have comfortable homes,
and who are sent to the public schools
playing promiscuously in the streets,
while allowed a pleasant intercourse
in their homes with companions of
their own age. have found to be much
less prccocious in their ideas on for
hidden subjects than the country-bred
child of well-to-do parentage.
During my summer sojourn last sea-
son I was surrounded by children

number of these were town born and
bred; three or four only came from the
interior Of tho state. They belonged
to good families, were well educated
and well dressed They came late in the

felt almost Immediately upon the whole
band of little ones; an influence which

This boy was city-born and bred,

KANSAS STRIKES OIL.
Great Excitement Now Prevails
in the Sunflower State.
A Big SpOuter Near Neodesha - 1t Is
Throwing Out Fifty Barrels of
Liquid Every Hour-Story
of the Discovery.

Kansas has struck 'ile," and, in the
language of the rural correspondent,
great excitement prevails. The sensa-
ton seems to be central about NeO-
desha, where one of the wells recently
"shot' is spouting out some tifty-odd
barrels of the famous lubricating and
Illuminating liquid every day. There
are some forty other rude holes in the
neighborhood of NeOdosha which are
TO be shot in the same way.
This is not, strictly speaking, the be-
ginning of the oil business in Kansas.
1t has been developing for two years
past. but has only recently attained such
proportions as TO compel general atten-
ton. In November 1892. w. NJ. Mills,
a prospector who had been for many
years prodding the face of the earth TO
make it give up something, went from
OsawatOmie to Neodesha. leased three
acres of land almost within the city
limits and began to drill for gas. At a
depth of $40 feet he struck oil. He
plugged up the well and leased 5000
acres of land. moved his machinery a
half-mile and started again. Then he
drilled the De Moss well, which runs
oil so freely now that it has to be
pumped night and day to keep it from
wasting. Mr.. Mills plugged the wells,
and taking a barrel of oil went to
Pittsburgh, Pa, where the firm of
Guffey, Galley & Mills was organized
soon afterward to develop the new
Kansas oil fields.
Mr. Guffey and Mr.. Galley were ex-
perienced oil men. They went to Neo-
desha in April. 1893. and started the
Haag well, and about June l, 1899, they
struck gas in such quantities that it al
most blew their derrick away. The
pressue was 43O pounds to the SQUARE
inch and now the gas from this well is

Such a man has wisdom and philos-

more expert fisherman than the man
with fancy traps, who goes in for moth

muskallonge. or some other of the So
called game fish.
He can begin his fishing season as
early in the spring as worms can be
dug. and keep it up until they fail and
the shrimps disappear in the fall, and
need never go more than few miles
from home at that. if he live on any of
our nearby waters.

arduous labor his health broke down

The most prolific oil field the world
has known was at Bradford. Pa, where

from $4,000 wells. The field is now
practically abandoned by large opera
tors, for the capacity of the 10000 wells
has dwindled to about 1000 barrels
day, enabling only small operators to
make money by their operation. The
Neodesha wells are not so good as the
Bradford wells were. nor does the crude
Neodesha product produce as much oil,
writes a correspondent of the Kansas

This is all there is of it: Take
piece of springy brass wire about as
thick as a fine knitting needle and four
teen inches or so long. Twist an eye
in the middle of it and another at each
end, bend the whole into half circle
and it is complete. You attach your
line to the center eye and smell hooks
to the end ones. If you need a sinker,
attach that to short cord and let it
hang down from the center. The OBJ
vious advantage of the spreader is that
it keeps your hooks apart, but it also
has many other desirab bic effects. The
line is rendered more sensitive, the
hooks are kept at the same depth, and
the spreader is so elastic that fish
once hooked can seldom tear loose.
In running the streams it also lets
the bats play at just the right distance
free of the ground to make the bait
