With his imperfect tools 1t is doubtful
IL Drake could have reached such
depths as are now considered usual In
the Pennsylvania region. He himself
always clasped to his heart an abiding
belief that the hand of Providence had
led him to the precise spot which he
selected as the one upon which to pros.
eeute his derlded enterprise.
Drake was a New Yorker, born In
Greenvllle, Green County, in 1919. and
he was 40 years old when as the Co.
lumbus of the petroleum industry he
made his great discovery. Within the
forty years which have followed the

MONKEY AND BOY.
They Were Equally Concerned In
the Jail Delivery.

In the picturesque little town of Law
reneeburg. Ind. there used to be an old
stone building that was used as Jail.
1t could tell many strange story of
the persons it deprived of liberty, but
would, if it were wise be silent con-
corning one incident that proved to be
a joke on itself
Among the boys of the town was
half witted lad who was particularly
incorrigible, and whose constant COM
panion was little monkey. who at
tended him as faithfully as Mary little
lamb One of his mental weaknesses
was known to be a confusion of the
ideas CT mine and thine. and after one
very considerable theft the local Sher-
lock Holmes found footprints of Jocko,
the monk. in regions from which the
missing articles had disappeared, and so
the boy was arrested There was no law
for imprisoning the monkey, so he was
not "pinched. The boy was model
prisoner for several days, but was sud
denly seized with desire to have his
monkey with him. So earnestly did he

had Jocko brought to the cell. That
night the lad. who was supposed to be
without intelligence. began clawing out
the mortar around one of the largest
stones in the outer wall He could not
do much with his blunt fingers and
weak nails, but the monkey immediate
ly began initiating him. The long claws
of the animal soon loosened up enough
mortar to enable the boy to pull the
stone out OF the wall, AID before morn

peared. - Cincinnati Enquirer.

from Chicago stepped In front of him
and looked over his head in search Of
an acquaintance who he supposed was

showing his cuff buttons-"cost me
$500 each. and my wife has a trunk

The Chicago man did not say much,
but that evening, by arrangement with
the head waiter, Davis was placed at
supper alone at table where were
several vacant chairs. Presently seven
men, all commercial travellers, entered
the dining and each one had a
large cut-glass fruit dish fastened on
his breast while glass prlsms hung

The June days passed, the eagerly
last Paul Reynolds and Burton Smith
found themselves In the quaint old
town Of Castone, where they were hap
PLY welcomed.
At first Burton rather stood In awe
OF beautiful Belle Reynolds. Her love
ly face and graceful figure won uniyer-
sal admiration, and her sweet dlsposi-
ton endeared her to all. Burton Smith
proved TO be no exception. Their mu-
tual love for all kinds of outdoor
sports threw them together constantly,
and they became firm friends. Then as
the time for his departure drew near
he began to realize that in leaving
Belle Reynolds behind he was leaving
all that had made life SO bright for
him during the last few weeks. Yet he
felt that there was no reason why he,
a comparative stranger, should claim
more than the friendship accorded him.
He would undoubtedly have gone
back to business with his love untold
