TOWN PUMP GIVES OIL.
People of Flemingsburg, KY. Now
Get Petroleum from Their
Old Well.

Excitement over the flow of oil in
the old town well at Flemingsburg,
KY, continues undated. Thousands
of dollars have been sunk there during
the past 20 years in the endeavor to
strike oil, numerous wells having been
drilled, but with very little success.
Now nature has taken the matter in
charge, and by some subterranean up
heaval has caused the oil to flow into
the large vein which has supplied the
town with water for the past 100 years.
The old well which has surprised the
people by putting forth oil instead of
water was at one time large spring.
AS far back as can be traced the spring
was used by the Indians and early set
tiers, supplying the country for miles
around. After the streets were graded
in 1920, it was found necessary to wall
up the old spring and put in pump.
From that time on until the present
day, generation after generation of the
town people have made the old well the
main source of their water supply, but
now will have to go elsewhere. An old
citizen remarked, when the excitement
was at it's highest, that he felt as though
he had lost his dearest friend, as the
old well and spring had furnished water
for his family back to the fourth gen.
Grafton.
For some time past an oily taste had
been noticed in the water, but an extra
amount of water had been pumped
from the well to supply the demand of
people whose wells had given out, ow-
ing to the extremely dry weather, and
when most of the water had been drawn
from the reservoir, the pump began to
A large crowd soon collected and
vessels of every description were filled
and carried away. Large amounts
were poured on the streets and ignited,
the blaze shooting up and the oil burn
ing with white and steady glow.
Lamps and lanterns were filled and
showed a white and splendid light, the
flame being strong and white. So
much excitement was caused by this
freak of nature that the people began
pouring the oil about the streets in
reckless manner and igniting it, and
Mayor L. K. Vansant, fearing the build
ings would catch fire from the burning
oil, ordered the pump locked.
While the well was open barrels of the
mixture were carried away, and large
quantities flowed down the: sewers,
The oil has an odor like coal oil, but is
of brownish color. The water is as
clear as crystal. For a long time it has
been thought that oil could be found
in paying quantities, and now the peo-
pie are wild on the subject. Just before
the well was closed vessel was filled,
showing more than one-half pure Oil.
Until the well is pumped out and a
thorough investigation made, it's i'm
possible to tell the extent Of the flow
of the oil, but it is thought the supply
is inexhaustible.- Chicago Inter Ocean.

Edible Rirds, Nest..

The nests of the little swift "a kind of
swallow, gathered along the rocky
cliffs with so much difficulty, and yet
in such quantities on account of the
Chinese demand, are formed of a
salivary secretion which soon becomes
firm on exposure to the air. It is a
glutinous white substance with little
red dots. They are clean, the nests be-
ing taken as soon as completed. The
little swift, being repeatedly robbed, is
at last compelled to exc out it's waning
supply Of secretion with little sticks
and grass, and is thus enabled to lay it's
eggs and hatch its young, as only nests

ONIONS FOR THE SEASlCK.

Parties.

A safe and sure preventive, if not
cure, of sea sickness, has been found in
picked onions. A rich young merchant
era banks, and was obliged, by one of
those marital necessities, to take along
his wife. He gave her oceans of advice
against going, pointing out every real
and imaginary discomfort to be found
on public fishing boat, to ell of which
she made answer that she could stand
the worst. 1t was day of heavy ground
swells, one of the kind on which even
the regulars feel sinking sensation in
the pit of the stomach. Mrs. Persist
ence grew pale, then white. Her lips
got blue. Her teeth nervously ratified.

COME HOME.

When the year ia young and the green buds
shoot, .s -. ~ .-: .5-e..%
When the rose blooms radiant, fair.
When the gentle winds come up from the
south, .-..
When flowers perfume the air; 1.
The plowman turns the furrov in glee
And the ripened seed doth fall
To glorious birth in the mother earth,
Then we hear the reckoning call
Call through the budding hazel copse
where the fearful rabbits play,
Call low and soft the voice that oft lures
loves light thoughts away.
We linger and listen but hear her still
Wherever we rove and roam.
The sad-voiced mother calling to us:
'Come home, my children, come home"
When the years abloom and the leaf takes
A DEEPER sturdier hue,
When the days are long and filled with
song
And the nights are rinsed with dew;
In the winds that ripple across the wheat,
In the blooms that dapple the lawn,
In the stars that die in the roseate sky
That ushers the radiant dawn
We hear her voice. like the matin-song OF
the sweet-voiced hooking birds,
All tremulous she calls to US, we hear her
loving words
But we fain would linger along the brook
And watch the scurrying foam,
While the voice still dwells in the shadowy
del!s:
''Come home, my children, come home"
When the year grows old and haggard and
gray,
When the sunlight dims and pales,
When Times chill breath in beautiful
death
Is clothing the hills and dales:
mob ho ia cd Of "
corn,
Ger the meadows dun and sere,
In the rustic of sheaf and fall of leaf
In the shutdown Of the year.
We hear her call in the harvest time and
beckon her children in
From the wheat and vine, from the sheep
and kline, from the wine press and the
Tired and weary we drop our tasks
And wander on through the gloam
To the waiting mother" who softly calls
''Come home, my children, come home
The stars again together shall sina
And heaven and earth be one,
Night shall fade as the naples shade
Melts In the morning sun;
The flush of morn and the blush Of night
Shall meet with the hush of noon:
DEFENDERS snow shall drift and blow
Ger the blooming roses of June.
Then the past shall come like a burdened
slave, with it's heavy tale of years,
And Time shall be with Eternity. with its
finished hopes and fears,
Then Death" sweet mother, shall call
US in,
When life is a finished tome,
Like bird in its nest we shall nestle and
rest
And forever be at home
