lie was a sharp-loolsing little man who
was handling the baggage, and it was Q
rosy y-cheeked little woman who was
watching him handling her old trunk
with ungentle haste, says the Detroit
Free Press. 1t was not that she cared sc
much for the trunk, but she had come
from the same pat of the country
and knew the baggageman's wife be-
fore he did, and here he had quite for
gotten her. She did not know, either,
that the roar of the city and the crash
OF breaking trunks had made him deaf
just as the lid of her trunk came
asrnder from the body she asked, tim
idly:
How is your wife, Mr.. Peters?"
II can't help it; you ought to have q
stronger trunk" answered the baggage
man, instantly on the warpath.
"Oh, no matter about the trunk. How
are Mary and the children?"
"Tied up with a piece of rope, ma'am,
it will look as well as it ever did,"
"Niary and the children" shrieked the
little woman.
"It's nothing of the kind. Report me
all you want to. That old trunk isn't
ut for the ark" and he gave it a savage
kick.
II don't care a copper about that
old trunk" screamed the now angry
woman, 'but if you kick it again I'll
bnye yo,, nrrasstad md fined and sent
10 Jail. I've got some feeling if that
trunk hasn't, Bill Peters!"
And that time the baggageman heard.

In The OIL Fields.
L OH. MARKET. NJ .
ANorHER NEw POOL.

PITTsBURe, Nov 16th.-The Big In
jun sand pool near Hebron, Peasants
county, but located just asross the line
in Tyler county, started the run get
ting in the lower Southwest fields this
week Treats & Crawford have drilled
| in their No / on the Cutler farm and
will have hundred barrel producer.
The Carter Oil company's No. s, j. d.
Livingston, in the same field, is in the
sand and showing for $50 barrels day.
The same company's No. 1, G. 7. Liv-
ingston, is in the sand and showing for
100 barrels day. No. 6, j. D. Living
ston, owned by the same company, is
holding up at 24O barrels day.
The most important strike Of recent
date in Tyler county is the property of
the South Penn Oil company and is To-
Gated on the w. j. Wharton farm, near
Alva post-office. The location of the
| we'll is about five miles from the Dodd-
ridge line and about the same distance
from the Wetzel county line. 1t is
about four miles from the we'll to the
triangular shaped eastern portion of
the county intersecting with Doddridge
and Wetzel.
Since the discovery of oil in! the Cor
don sand on the Mills tract, 10 miles to
the north of the Wharton well, there
has been much speculation as to the
ultimate result of operating in the deep
sand. The new strike seems to solve
the problem and is the forerunner Of a
new prolific pool of Gordon sand oil.
The we'll was drilled in couple of
weeks ago, but the South Penn Oil
company put it to "sleep" as soon as it
began to show oil and picked up every
thing in sight that lay anywhere near
the we'll. A week ago the we'll was
drilled in and greatly improved. Just
how much it produced has not been
made public, but it is known to a cer-
tainty that it is now putting between
$50 and 800 barrels day to it's credit.
The depth of the we'll is more than
$500 feet and differs from other Cor
don sand wells in the lower Southwest
in not encountering cave after drill
ing into the sand. The South Penn
Oil company has made six or more To-
cations in the vicinity OF the new strike
and will push the drill with it's charac-
teristic energy.
Near Bearsville, on the head waters
of Sancho creek, Tyler county, and
about four miles east of the Bullman
pool, the Carter Oil company has drilled
in wildcat on the Coroly farm that is
good for 40 or so barrels day from the
Big Injun sand. This is another new
discovery that will be an incentive for
starting new work in that locality.
Near Centreyille the Kanawha Oil
! company has abandoned the first hole,
in which a string of tools was lost on
the L. Cain farm and has moved the rig
and started new hole.
At Economy the Shannon No. is
holding at $50 barrels day.
The Devonian Oil company is drilling
in the sand on the McClosl,ey farm, at
Beaver Roads. 1t expects to get the
pay streak in the hundred-foot.
Northeast of Hardy the Richard Oil
| company is starting well on the Mrs.
Collins farm, located 500 feet south of
the Walters farm.

WIDOW QUITE PHILOSOPHICAL
Pastors Condolences on Her Husbands
Death Very Graciously Acknowledged.

Pastors Condolences on Her Husbands
Death Very Graciously Acknowledged.
A North side Lutheran pastor recent
ly assigned TO fashionable congrega-
tion is wondering whether hereafter it
will be policy for him to offer con-
dolences when young matrons of his
flock lose their husbands, or forever
keep his peace. He is very much per-
turbed over an incident which occurred
quite recently, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Some time last summer and before he
had been assigned to this particular
church the invalid husband of one of
his prominent church members went
TO the far west in the hope that a change
of climate might restore him to health.
But the rarified atmosphere of the
mountains instead of benefting the in
valid, who was a consumptive, rather
fastened the progress of the disease
and within very few weeks he died.
Last week the young widow returned.
What more natural than that the par
son should offer his sympathies to the
bereaved one.
iOu hb'S my slilSSiCso sy yIupdIhy,
he said to the young woman. "But,
after all, you have this consolation that
the dear one is now past all suffering
and probably much happier"
you are too kind, parson," answered
the young widow. Indeed, he lasted
much longer than I thought he would.
/ expected he would go much sooner
1t was hopeless case"
Such philosophic view of the case
rather startled the good man. 1t came
so unexpectedly that it left him moth.
ing more to say and he beat as hasty
retreat as he could.

Last night Rev. Abe Mulkey
made an appeal to those present to
contribute toward paying the ex-
penses of the meeting, stating that
500 would pay of all the debts con
tracted, and would, perhaps, leave
a small balance. He asked those
who would give a dollar or more 10
give their names. Some $2S were
raised thus and then the hat was
passed, and when the cash from
the hat and other contributions
we're added up it was found to be
S35 Is. OF course the projectors
of the meeting feel cast down to-
day at the debt staring them in the
face, but their gloom will be only
momentary, for there wall be some
good Samaritan who will heave in
sight and furnish the means to pay
off everything due. Rev. }. W..
Johnson said eve are cutting
down expenses at every step, and l
gave orders this morning for the
discontinuance of the sprinkling
about the grounds, and this item
will save us a dollar a day. And
you can say we are now pulling for
the shore, and, by grace, we expect
to land with all debts paid and our
community will be in better con.
ditiou, spiritually, by the visit of
Rev. ABE Mulkey than before. " We
hope our people will contribute as
literally as possible at the services
at each meeting until the close and

would feel it their duty to pay it;
that they could not afford to risk
their lives, and those of their fam

can get this insurance for 20 cents,
that being the price of bottle Of

the knowledge, that so many forms OF

one remedy which promotes internal
