plauSe.

Some time ago men drilling for
oil in Ohio sent number of nitro
glycerin shells into the hole, one of
which exploded when it reached a
depth of Is feet. There was ire
mendous gush of oil, the flow being
SO strong that the derrick was del
uged from top to bottom. Appar-
emily here was the biggest well in
the history of the oil business, and
the firm which was doing the drill
ing naturally exulted at the pros
pect Of a fortune.
But their joy was short lived. The
Buckeye Pipe Line company's eight
inch pipe, through which 5000 bar
rels of oil pass each day, suddenly
shut down. An investigation was
started, and before many hours it
was found that the new well had
been drilled close to the pipe, which
had been broken by the explosion.
and the oil, which seemed to come
from the well, really came from
the pipe line. This ended the ca
reer of 'great spouter.''

splendid time for all the best jew

be built and decorated, says writer
in an English magazine.
It is a common but erroneous idea
that none but dukes and duchesses
have the famous strawberry leaves
as the garland of their coronets In
truth, the great glory lies in the
fact that they have the right to wear
eight golden strawberry leaves, while
a marquis OF marchioness can only
have four and four silver balls alter
nately. An earl's or a countess

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Teddy Forgot His Errand Because He
Stopped to ~Wrastle."

Teddy lived in large house on
the top Of a hill.
At one side of the house and down
the stone steps, across the three cor
nered bit of green called the triangle,
there was Aunt Matilda Nc Wright s
little thread and needle shop,
which all the neighborhood found a
great convenience, as there were
many hills in Teddy's town, and the
large shops we're far down below the
houses and meant much climbing
going to and from them.
Aunt Matilda was greatly liked by
the children, for she was never out
Of patience, and she kept candy,
bread and many other things be-
sides thread and needles and was
possessed of a liberal heart that
made her always put in little over
weight when one bought penny's
worth of sweets.
Teddy was playing in the yard
when Christine called him. It was
5:15 by the kitchen clock and Sat-
urday afternoon.
"Come here, 1addie," called Chris
tine, and Teddy, with his appetite
for supper growing bigger every
minute and smell of Christmas
molasses cookies in the air. went
willingly.
Eve broken my shoe lace" said
Christine, showing the dangling
ends, "and it's falling over it I'll be
carrying in the supper. So hurry,
laddie, over to Mrs. Meningitis and
get pair. There's 5 cent bit, and
there's a turnover, crisp and brown,
waiting for you il, you're speedy"
So Teddy ran down the stone
steps and into the triangle, where
he met five boys, one of whom,
stranger, instantly challenged him
to what he called "wrastle."
Teddy, champion Of his hill, peck
eted his 5 cents and fell to with en-
.thusiasm. He came off victor, but
the clock was striking 6 when, flush
ed and breathless, he flew into Aunt
Matilda's shop, furiously. jangling
the bell that called that excellent
woman from her tea and toast just
beyond the partition.
There stood Teddy, his hands
thrust in his pockets, his legs far
apart, his hat on the back Of his
head, frowning thoughtfully at the
candy jars.

Prairie Fire Guards.

One Of the methods Of protecting
broad grass lands from fire is to
burn swath called 'efre guard
around the area to be protected. A
Montana stockman suggests that
this offers a good opportunity for
inventors to devise machine which,
passing over the ground like a horse
rake, shall burn the grass clean from
space about eight or ten feet in
width. Already an apparatus of
this kind has been invented, using
gasoline to set the grass on fire and
a train of steel brushes to extinguish
it before it has spread beyond the
proper limits, but the stockman
thinks that a cheaper machine can
be made. "Fire guards" so miles or
more in length are desirable.

The End Of a STAGE Eiaht.

Mr.. Lyall Swete is young Eng
llsh actor, but his exceptional
height proved on a certain occasion
he is not likely to forget rather a
disadvantage. It was during his
apprenticeship to the stage, when
he was playing villain in a melo-
drama, says London Answers.
The company gave show in a tt
ny theater with particularly mar
row stage. The pit and gallery were
crowded, but only one quiet little
old gentleman was to be seen in the
stalls. Mr.. Swete made his first en-
trance hurriedly and had his hat
knocked off by the front sky border.
The stage manager, after consoling
him, added: ''Work up the fight in
the last act. It ought to get three
calls at least"
Mr.. swete worked it up, and when
the hero knocked him down he did
a back fall, with his head toward
the audience. There was silence,
then roar of laughter. Mr., swete
was greatly puzzled till he heard the

THE THIRTEENTH IMMORTAL.

Will Rostand have the nerve to
occupy a seat which bears the fatal
number 10?
This is question which many
Frenchmen are now asking, and the
reason is because it is regarded as
practically certain that the ,distin-
guished dramatist will soon be elect
ed member Of the French acade-
my, and if so he will most probably
be assigned to a seat which bears
the number Ii.
There are at present four empty
seats in the academy, and they are
respectively numbered 25, z, ID and
IA, Of these the first two have al
ready been awarded to Messieurs
Emile Faguet and Berthelot, and
they will at an early date take pos
session of them amid appropriate
ceremonies. The seat numbered ID
was that Of the Viscount Henri de
Bornier, and that numbered IA was
that of the Due de Broglie.
The number 13, however, appears
more than once on this occasion,
for it is pointed out that NJ. Emile
Faguet will be the thirteenth occu-
pant Of the seat numbered 25.
J Potent is superstition even in the
twentieth century, and there are
many persons who have horrible
foreboding that i'll luck in some
form will surely come to two of the
four new members of the academy
namely, to the one who occupies the
seat numbered 13 and to NJ. Faguet,
who will be the thirteenth to occu-
py the seat numbered 25.

NATIONAL M'KINLEY MEMORIAL.

The matter of the national memorial
to the late President Mckinley is
arousing much discussion at the capt.
tai Senator Hanna's declaration, that
the plans OF the Memorial Arch Associa-
ton to raise 81 500 900, with view to
the construction of a great arch at the
approach to the Washington Memorial
Bridge over the Potomac, were on too
comprehensive a scale. has aroused
much criticism art
Senator Hanna was quoted as having
said that nothing OF such scope as has
been outlined should be attempted by
the Capital City until a suitable memo
rial to the memory of Lincoln had been
erected. The fact Is that the absence
OF suitable memorial to the memory
OF Lincoln, as well as one to Grant.
was the symmetry Of the memorial
character OF the parks. squares and
circles OF the capital. There were plans
for a Lincoln memorial many years ago
but they never came near to realiZa-
ton, Just as those for the Grant memo
rial came to naught. The nation un-
questionably was negligent.
But why should II likewise now neg
lect the memory of Mckinley because
II has failed in this other duty? The
fact Is to be considered that 1t is easier
to arouse public interest in the McKin-
ley memorial than in a belated monu-
ment to the perpetuation of Lincolnss
fame The nearness OF the assassina-
ton OF Mckinley, the more Intimate
acquaintance OF living men with him,
the presence of his very deeds in con-
tinuous effect among US today all serve
to facilitate this enterprise.
The obvious course would seem 10 be
to proceed with all diligence in the
erection of such a memorial at the
capital as would insure an adequate
capitalization of the national apprecia-
ton OF McKinley's character and ser
vices. This obtained, the present duty
well performed, It would be proper and
patriotic to revert to the neglected past
and produce some proportionate memo
rial to the other martyr President,
whose sacrifice for his country was be-
yond measure.
There is a special reason why the
Mckinley memorial should be urged
irrespective of past delinquencies. 1t
Is understood that the national park
commission has provided in its grand
plan for the Improvement OF the public
lands, for the erection OF memorials to
both Lincoln and Grant. in harmony
with the adornment OF the Mall which
extends from the Capital to the Poto-
mac and contains the Smithsonian and
other fine buildings as well as the
Washington monument. and in con-
junction with the Memorial bridge.
Thus there is indication that the gov
eminent may soon be awakened to its
neglect and proceed with the long
ignored task OF concentrating the
great services of these two men in APP
proprfate style. The Mckinley memo
rial should be. and doubtless will be.
provided in a manner proporionate to
the mans stature as a citizen, soldier
and a statesman.
