"Patsey. you are twenty minutes Off
to-day, and, besides, you look as glum
as if you had hit squaw up the road.
What made you late?" 1 inquired the
other day, as l climbed into the cab OF
1856, which had just pulled into the
Buffalo station with No. 93 on the West
Shore road.
u didn't hit a sQuaw," said the en-
gineer. morosely.
"You know that hill just ahead Of
the curve after leaving the reservation.
Well, No. 10 delayed me at the juno
ton this morning, and l had her open
wide to make the hill without any de-
lay, when what should l see but two
women jumping around like mad on
the track few hundred yards ahead
One was waving a red petticoat and
the other had a bandanna OF the same
color l jammed the throttle down
hard, pulled the lever over, and whis-
tied for breaks in a jiffy, and then be-
gan TO look ahead for a missing rail
or washout l couldn't see a thing,
so as soon as we came to stop
elambered down to find out what was
the matter. What do you suppose the
IDIOTS wanted? They had letter and
two pennies; the letter was for a sweet
heart, and they wanted him to get 1t
right away, as pa wouldn't arlve over
to the village post office for a week
they thought l would like to do them a
favor Was l mad? Did / swear?
Well, you should have seen me there at
the bottom OF the hill with a heavy
train, stuck for five minutes and then
creeping up like snail for ten more. "
what about the letter." l inquired.
"Oh. Mac took it and the pennies, and
said he'd post It for them II they would
promise never to flag another train.
Mac said they not only promised but
one of them apologized for having flag
ged his train with her pettlcoat.

OIL FROM THE SEA.
one Place where 1t Is Pumped from
the Ocean on the CRiifOr-
min Coast.

The early settlers in California were
familiar with indications of the exist
ence Of oil which were seen at various
points along the coast, while asphaltum,
which oozed up from beds at the bottom
OF the sea, formed an important factor
In the household economy Of the abor-
igines, and in almost every burial place
on the coast asphaltum is found. Tho
natives on the islands obtained their
supply from the water, and at the pres
ent day the rocks at various places can
be seen splashed with asphaltum which
has drifted in. This Is particularly no
ticeable after an east wind, showing
that there is large area in the deep
Santa Catalina channel from which
asphaltum oozes up.
Oil wells were sunk at Santa Paula
some years ago, and, later, an oil-pro-
ducing belt was discovered at Puente,
and again at sumnerland, below Santa
Barbara, where singular state Of af-
fairs exists.
1t soon became apparent at the lattev
locality that the oil-bearing stratum
stretched out into the sea, and drill scat
folding, looking like windmills with
out sails, began in n short time 10 ex-
tend down the little canyon and to creep
up the shore in the direction Of Santa
Barbara. At first they kept along the
sides of the hills which breast the sea
there; but gradually they turned sea-
ward until one more adventurous than
the rest rose from the water.
Work was started at an extremely low
tide, and finally the tall scaffolding ap-
peared 20 or 30 feet from the shore, ris-
Ing from the sea. At present there are
three borings, which even at low tide
are in the water, but at flood tide are
completely surrounded. the men work
ing on platforms Of various heights
which they successfully ascend as the
sea rises.
The drills are worked in the water
from an engine on the beach, the fuel
being the oil pumped up. This isprob-
ably the only place where oil is pumped
out of the sea, but undoubtedly the en-
tire coast overlies an oil-producing
stratum.
Of what Is known as Mores wharf
half mile out, oil rises to the surface
in several places. A spring Of fresh
water also rushes up there with such
velocity that it can be taken up and used
II the slightly bracldsh taste Is not OBJ
jected to. A similar spring is known
to exist on the Florida acoast.-Scientifie

A SHIRTS PART IN A ROMANCE
The following is given because OF the
valuable suggestion it might contain
for the young soldier about to start fol
war. 1t is the story Of a clean shirt
and how it gained one man a good
wife.
During the war there was a certain
young woman inGeorgetownw who found
it in her power TO do a great deal for
the Confederate soldiers confined IN
prison at Washington. Young, beauti-
full. cultured. popular, of a wealthy
and prominent family. she was fire.
Quently allowed admission to the
prison, whittier she always took her
maid with a well-stocked basket OF
good things for the poor boys behind
the bars. One day as she was passing
through a group of men in the com
mon prison she stopped and said to
them:
If there is anything you would like
TO have that l can bring you, won't you
let me knOw?. l shall be very glad"
One man stepped forward promptly
Bowing most courteOusly, ne said:
If you would be so kind, / should
like to have a clean shirt"
He was a young lieutenant from
Louisville, one Of the handsomest and
most eloquent men ever met, and
when that young woman looked NJ
into his brown eyes, she found it in her
heart to give him much more than q
clean shirt, for she married him as socr
as the war was over-Philadelphia

THlE osAG.E INnIANs

Ihe Usage Indians are the richest
community in the world. They number
but 1,729 souls, all told-men, women
and children; they own 100000 acres
Of valuable land; have $4,000, 900 In
trust with the government which pays
8 per cent interest, and have leases
with cattlemen for the use OF their
pasture lands which bring them be-
tween $4,000 and $50 1000 a year, with
out counting the rent from the agri-
cultural lands and the proceeds Of their
own labor That, however, Is very
small. They have so much money that
they are lazy, idle and in a state OF
rapid degeneration.
There IS no more striking example OK
the corrupting influences Of wealth and
idleness. The Indians have no incentive
for education or labor, but spend their
time loafng and visiting each others
homes, where, as the agent says, 'they
feast and gossip until one might sup
pose their capacity for both was ex-
hausted; but each trifling occurrence
serves as a text, which Is discussed
from every possible point Of view. The
old men find great pleasure in recount
ing the past history Of the people and
have eager and interested listeners in
the children. l find the most efficient
weapons l can use against these ten
denotes to be ridlcule and moral sua-
sion, whereby I impress upon them the
necessity of looking forward, and Of
staying at their homes to look more
closely after their property and the in
terests OF their children"
The entire tribe Is composed OF about
300 families, OF which LILO are adults
and $50 are children OF school age. This
gives them over 5000 acres of land for
each family, and more than $50 acres
per capita, with $4,000 cash for every
family. Including the grass money"
as they call Il, which is received from
leasing the pastures, the income OF the
tribe will average $4,000 a year, which
Is about $500 per capita, or 81. 600 per
family without any labor whatever.
This enormous wealth, and the increas-
ing value Of the lands which lie Just
south OF the Kansas line and consist OF
valuable timber and large tracts OF rich
soil suitable for agriculture, have
made the citizenship Of great value
and has caused many dlssolute white
men to marry into the tribe, so that
s29, mostly children, are OF mixed
blood.
The "squaw men" as the white who
marry Indian women are called, are no
enrolled. and receive nothing directly
but indirectly they control THE share,
Of their wives and children, and hav'
been gaining more and more influences
among the people. The tribe Is govern
ed by a chief and fifteen councillors
and at the last election the mike,
bloods, or "squaw men," by briber.
and other Influences, succeeded in elect
ing their candidates for chief and bh
council. This has caused a great dea
OF discomfort among the full bloods
and 1t is probable that the governmen
will be compelled to interfere in orde
TO protect those who are really entltle,
to share in the rights OF the tribe

There isn't a word Of the news, no
