THE CHARENTON WELL.

Quite good deal Of excitment
was stirred up this week at the
TChetimachas Oil Co.'S. well, at
Charenton. The drill had hardly
touched the 400 foot mark when
gusher of sand came spouting out;
fully two hundred barrels were
thrown out before the flow could
be stopped. The expert in charge
Of the work, DIR. Boutte, seems con
fident that an oil gusher will be
"brought in" within the next three
weeks, and says that this will take
place before they reach 1000 feet.
lAll of the stockholders of tht

There was, then, young man in

was in such condition that he had
to be removed to the insane asylum

then there were certain cares that
his wife could give him, three days a

She was twenty-five years old, a

A Call To Preach

a negro who had acquired a
slight smattering of knowledge
proposed to enter the ministry.
He consulted an Old-time negro.
who like most of that fast disap
pearing class had good practical
sense and little patience with the
"new ISSUE negro.
The aspirant for clerical honors
told his venerable friend that he
was called to preach. He was sure
of this, because in a dream he saw
in the sky three golden letters, "G. j..
P. c." He could make this mean
nothing but "Go Preach Christ. y
The old negro heard the young
one patiently and then said:
"Julius you'se sho' been called,
but you didn't read dat call right.
1t don't mean Go Preach Christ
1t means Go Pick Cotton Dat

that she might give her freshest
and best to the public. She felt,
however, greatly attrac ted toward
the charity named and would make
only one. condition regarding the
donation Of her services. She had
received three hundred guineas
81, 200 for singing at Mr.. w. W.
AStOr'S and about the same amount
at other private concerts. She
would gladly sing for nothing at
the charity concert if each one of
the ladies interested, who had
so kindly asked her, would donate
three hundred guineas to the OBJ
ject for which the concert was to
be given.
As yet no replies from "the
ladies interested" have been re,
ceived But Lady Beresford, not
being one of the ''interested
ladies'" appreciates more fully the
humor of the situation.

Smith Told Drown why He Refused

It was only a week after the an
nual meeting of the corporation had
been held that Mr.. Brown. one of
the heavy stockholders, accompanied
by his worthy spouse, went over TO
the Smiths one evening to while away
the time with a bit of whist and later
perhaps a rarebit with trimmings,
says the Bangor Commercial. Smith
also owned considerable stock In the
same enterprise as his guest, and
while the women were off together
discussing some matters of great
feminine importance which COM
pletely engrossed their attention, IL
was perfectly natural that the male
portion of the assembly should adj
journ to the dining-room for a whiiP
of nicotine.
"What can't see" said Mr.. Brown
with much astonishment and per-
plexity on his features. "What I
can't see is why under the canopy
you declined a dictatorship at the
meeting the other day"
That's an easy one" remarked
Smith. "You see-er-tbe fact of the

DRINKING FROM A SKULL.
Some People of Scotland Who ne
lieve IL Is Certain Cure for -
Epilepsy.

The parish minister Of Torridon. in
the northern county of Ross Scot
land, has just discovered that "shock.
ing pagan rites" are being followed
In the neighborhood of the town.
Many years ago a woman commit
ted suicide by drowning herself in
the Baigle river, near Torridon. The
inhabitants refused to consent TO
the body being buried in the Annat
churchyard on the plea that II the
body was buried in view of Loeb
Torridon the fish would forsake the
waters. The remains were conse-
quently Inferred in unconsecrated
ground about 100 yards from the
cemetery, and there they now lie.
What this woman's grave has TO
do with pagan rites" has still 20 be
told, however. There Is local be-
lief that epileptics will be cured of
their trouble by drinking water from
a certain pool out of the skull OF a
suicide. Such a skull has been kept
hidden for many years under the
surface soil of this grave. but wheth-
er II is the skull Of the woman her
self is not clear. Those suffering
from epilepsy go to the grave in the
dead of night, unearth the molding
skull and drink out of Il water Of the
pool already mentioned.
