Took n Bite In the Dark.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
A young man whose work keeps him
downtown until the early morning
hours usually reaches home with a
sharp appetite. His mother, an in
dulgent mother, too, puts little lunch
out where he can get it, but this fire.
quently fails to satisfy him. His wise
parent knows this and she saves the
larder from a wholesale onslaught by
locking things up.
Now, IL there is one thing in par
ticular that this youth dotes upon 1t
is jelly. But jelly is an article of food
that takes time and skill in its prep
aration, and If the lady left her jelly
jars at his disposal-well, there would
be none to dispose of after few
mornings. So the jelly is locked up
the highest of all.
The other morning the youth let
himself into the house just as the gray
streaks of dawn were cross-barring the
eastern sky. There was milk and bread
awaiting him, but his soul craved for
some. Taking a slice Of bread and a
knife he stole down cellar and searched
the fruit shelves. What happiness,
He dimly made out the outlines of a
jelly jar. Was there any jelly in it?
He dipped in his knife and felt the
soft and quivering mass. What a
joke on his usually careful mother.
She had actually forgotten to turn
the key on this treasure.
He drew out a generous quantity
and carefully spread it on the bread.
He had to do it largely by guess
work, because the cellar was almost to-
tally dark. When the spreading was
done he smacked his lips lightly and
took generous bite.
No, it wasn't Jelly. 1t was soft
soap.

Tho Worlds Petroleum Supply,

Statistics show that the United
States and Russia are between them
producing in round numbers 100000
900 barrels Of petroleum per year, and
that the production of outside coun-
tries has of late increased so much that
they are able to contribute enough
now to bring the worlds aggregate an
nual production to about 10000, 900
barrels. 1t is well known that the pro-
duction of Russia is much less now
than it might be, owing to the lack OF
enterprise of the people and to made
quate transportation facilities.
