he was heavily interested in the trust

he was not prepared to talk much on

the reason that its use reduces the run
ming expense of all power plants from
thirty to fifty per cent where steam
is used. BY fixing and maintaining a
price that will give the producer a fair
profit and insure great saving TO the
consumer. Mr.. Blood stated in his opin-
ion the use of oil as a fuel would rev.
olutionize the manufacturing interests
of California, and that in the near flu
ture it would replace coal in the Islands
with a saving of at least thirty-five per
cent in the cost of creating power, and
at the same time give a much larger
scope to the work that may be done
wherever steam power is used.
The companys oil wells grew out of
a nucleus at Bakersfield, California
where the developments tend to indicate
a permanent supply of oil. 1t is the
opinion of Mr.. Blood that the next five
years will work a revolution in machin-
cry and that fuel oil will replace coal
at almost every place now used. This !
would indicate that the Pacific Coast |

WOES AND WAYS OF WOMEN.
Graham, N. c.

Woman is a beautiful human creature
who dresses, fixes her tresses, caressses
impresses, distresses and undresses
When two women meet the first thing
they do is to pick each other to pieces
in their own minds; the next thing is to
pay fiattering compliments to each other
and amiable; ever so devoted and low
ing; she will go where her husband likes
do as he pleases, make every possible
sacrifice for him but she will always do
her hair the way she likes. There are
two kinds of men whom women like
those who love them and those who hate
them. When you have been married
twenty-five years you will come to the con
clusion that YOU do not know her at all.
When woman arrives at station two
minutes after her train is gone she does
not blame herself for missing it, she
thinks that the employees of the COM
pany are no gentlemen. For many wo-
men the definition of a gentleman is a
man who knows how to wait There are
two things that few women possess-no-
tion of time and notion of distance. But
why should women remember time when
they know that they were made to make
us men forget it? What makes women
so delightfully."- fascinating is that they do
not possess scientific minds They care
nothing for arguments. They take 1T for
granted that whenAs.you said such and
such thing it meant this and that,

have done thing which you have never
done. you may call to your rescue all the
principles of algebra, trigonometry and
differential and integral calculus to
prove to them they are wrong; it will be
all in vain. You will never understand

which. believe. is undeniable. Most OF
the actions of woman are committed
