Do not kick because some one
has outstripped you in the race of
life and accumulated more wealth
than you are possessed of. Re
member, it has caused them to de-
ny themselves many of the COM
forts of life that you have enjoyed
Remember more, that these same
so-calIed rich people, instead of
buying fine buggy or carriage,
went to market, church, etc, hold
ing down plain board across the
old wagon box. They never en-
joyed the luxury of a bicycle that
cost $50 to 500, but they saved
their money and walked when the
old wagon was dispensed with.
The old gentleman never knew tho
difference between the cut of a
Prince Albert coat and that of n
cutaway. 1t was the plain old
wamas that was good enough for
him. The good old woman was
just as frugal in her dress, and in
this way they accumulated what
they have. Now in their old age
they have something for rainy
day. Don't envy them for what
they have in old age. Don't kick
because when they go, hence they
will have enough, too.

b. j. Priohard, who holds several
thousand acres of oil land under
lease in Wayne county, w. Va,
near the county seat, has practical
ly arranged for placing some of
the choice territory in the hands OF
eastern parties who are soon to de-

Reports from the Big Sandy oil

been such continuous inquiry as to
the situation as at present. From
present indications the field will
be alive with prospcctors before
winter begins in earnest.

Hints For Fair Fall Shoppers.
In planning your visiting and
theatre gowns don't forget the
pretty Persian antiques, the match
less armure and jacquard novelties,
chameleons, brocades and bengal
ines, and be sure to pause at the
lace and velvet counters to gather
ideas for garnitures.
Your street gown to be stylish
need not to be made of expensive
goods, high price not necessarily
yoked with high style. You can
find beautiful color effects in a
variety of medium price materials,
such as tweeds, diagonals, zibelines,
canvass and sail cloths, bourettes,
coverts and whipcords.
For seryiceable dress in which
to go a-marketing, consider the
various wenves of cancels hair, in
plain and fancy designs, and if you
desire trimming, invest in these
natty and servicenble braids.
Those new rough-looking cloths
in shaded stripe effects are known
as boucle cheviots. You might
make note of this, as these fabrics
promise to be in high favor for the
early winter, and are cheap fifty

In selecting broadcloth, be wary
