A Gentle Hint.
G. :. Num-. Sec'y.

In our style of climate. with its
sudden changes of temperature, -
rain, wind and sunshine often in
termingled in a single day,-it is
no wonder that our children, rela-
tives and friends are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds,
half the deaths resulting directly
from this cause. A bottle of Bos-
chee's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, large
doctors bill, and perhaps death,
by the use of three or four doses.
For curing Consumption, Hemor-
rhages, Pneumonia, Sever Coughs
Group, or any disease of Throat OF
Lungs, its success is simply won

The GREAT OIL FIELDS
OF Texas Described by a Former
Crittenden County Boy.
PoRT ARTHUR, Tex, May %.

| EDITOR Press: Dear Sir-There
seems To- be a loyalty TO home and
TO the principal organ of commu.
nication of Crittenden county. the
Press, that fills the hearts of Crit.
tenden's sons when away from
home, and feel il on me now, and
if you will be so kind as to give n
little room in the Press | will be
glad to give you few pointers on
the town where | have made my
home for the past six months.
! Port Arthur, Texas, is an inland
port in the southwest part Of the
State, fifteen miles from the Gulf,
and is the terminus of the Kansas
City Southern Railway; it is con-
nected with the Gulf by deep
water channel through which the
largest ocean steamships can pass
and anchor at the docks.
Port Arthur is only about five
years old and has shout one thou
sand inhabitants, Some of whom
are the most influential and veal
thy people of the country. The
town was laid out in the most
modern style, with several acres OF
, parks that are well set In shrubbe-
ny and flowers that stay green the
year round. This, with many 9TH
er things that will not take space
10 mention make it typical SOU
| thern town.
= The famous oil wells of south.
eastern Texas, that have attracted
the attention Of the worl 1 during
the past few months, are only IA
few miles from Port Arthur and
have caused great boom for the
town. You have doubtless read
the phenomenal reports of this
great oil field and probably doubt
cd the truth of many of the re-
ports, but being an eye witness OF
this great oil field | might be able
to tell you few things about il
that you would not believe other
wise.
The first we'll was struck Janu-
/ airy 10, 1901, and when struck the
oil began TO flow like great gey-
ser and gain in force until it went
about 100 feet high, and was un-
icontrollable for four days before
ithey could stop the flow, From
ithe very day that this geyser was
struck men began to form oompa-
Inies to bore for oil and to buy and
lease land and pay prices for land
that would seem out of the ques-
ltion To kentuckian. II would
seem unreasonable, but land has
changed hands in the oil fields for
the consideration of from thirty
thousand dollars TO two hundred
dollars per acre.
When | was in the oil field three
| weeks ago there were about l6O
| derricks. IL of which had struck
oil, several were digging and a
number we're waiting for their ma.
!chinery.
| While | was there three wells
were turned loose and il was such
a sight AS | never had seen before
a stream of oil about eight inches
i'm diameter began To flow out OF
| the wells, and gaining in force till
it got about sixty feet high when
it was cut off.
, The oil fields with 1.-THE rich and
boundless prairie will: doubtless
make southeast Texas famous in
the country,

Peter the Great was once very neatly
caught in a trap by a jester attached
to the court. The jester was noted for
his cleverness in getting himself and
his friends out Of difficulties. 1t hap
pened one day that a cousin of his had
incurred the czar's displeasure and
was about to be executed The latter
therefore presented himself before his
imperial majesty to beg for reprieve.
On seeing him approach, the czar, di-
gining his errand, cried: sit is no good
to come here. swear will not grant
what you are going to ask"
Immediately the jester went down
on his knees. saying. II beseech your
imperial highness to put that scamp

age. A plausible explanation was
Vouchsafed by the American.
During the voyage the Englishman
persisted in fraternizing with the
American in most ebtrusive and an
noying manner. Within two days of
Boston the Englishman one morning
hunted up the American and found him
