II Ia noe generally known that the
present shah IF Persia ia not only a
prose writer Of considerable merit, but
has also some pretensions to the chnrac-
ter OF poot. Like the German king
who. according to Carlyle. declared
himseif TO be above grammar. SO does
the Persian monarch consider himself
above criticism. Yet, like all poets, he
is glad to lend an ear TO 1t when IL IL
favorable.
One day. however. having completed
a poem which particularly delighted
him. he deigned to read it to one Of the
most prominent men Of letters attached
to his household.
What do you think Of it?" he asked
after reading his verses aloud.
II do not altogether like the poem.
was the candid reply.
What an ASS you are to say so u re-
piled the offended sovereign, and there
was certainly much wisdom in the royal
words, for the misguided critic was
forthwith ordered to the stables to be
logged.
A few days later the shah, having
written another poem, once more desir-
cd to hear the opinion of the learned
scribe whom he had consulted before.
Hardly had he read few lines Of bis
latest Incubation when the learned man
turned abruptly away and prepared to
run out of the room.
Where are you going?" Numbered
his majesty.
Back to the stables, cried the critic
in desperation. So amused was the king
Of kings by this repartee that he forgave
the delinquent and forebore to have him
logged second time.

RICH STRIKE IN OIL
The Second Sand Is Made to Give Up
Its Wealth
Something New In This Field Which Promises
to Be Of Greater Value Than the
Ordinary Product

. The oil men of this city are very much
excited over the rich strike that was made
in one Of the new wells of J. p. Flint
located on Omaha street just above Edge
ware road on the night before last. Mr..
Flint in boring the we'll did not stop at
the first stratum of oil bearing sand, but
continued downward to depth of one
hundred feet until the next sand was
reached. As a result different oil was
reached which promises to be Of much
greater value than the ordinary product
of the local wells. The new oil is of a
reddish brown color and is said to have
paraffine base instead of as phaltum.
its gravity has not been accurately deter
mined but it is lighter than the surface
oil by several degrees. Experts who have
examined it say it is natural lubricant
and will serve admirably for that purpose
without refining. Only small quantity
was pumped up before the heavier oil
from the upper sand stratum poured
down upon it, filling the we'll to depth
of several hundred feet. Since then the
well has flowed at irregular intervals,
throwing to the surface nearly hundred
barrels of oil. No attempt has been made
to operate the well as it will be necessary
to drive down the casing and thus shut
out the upper oil.
This Is the only we'll that has been
sunk below the upper stratum Of sand
and it will therefore probably create a
revolution among the well owners OF the
district.
