Thrown from HI. caq and Killed

The following is most interesting
and, in one respect, pathetic tale:-
Mr.. ]. Pope, AZ Ferrar Road, Streat-
ham, England, said:
Yes, poor chap, he is gone, dead
horse bolted, thrown off his seat on
his cab he was driving and killed
poor chap, and good sort, too mate.
1t was him, you see, who gave me the
half-bottle of st. Jacobs Oil that
made q new man of me, Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great
friends. Some gentleman had given.
him bottle of st. Jacobs Oil which
had done him lot of good; he only
used half the bottle, and remembering
that had been martyr to rheuma-
tism and sciatica for years, that l had
literally tried everything, had doctors,
and all without benefit, became dis
couraged and looked upon 1t that
there was no help for me. Well" said
Pope, You may not believe me, for
it Is a miracle but before / had
used the contents of the half-bottle
of st. Jacobs Oil which poor Bowman
gave me, l was well man. There
IL is, you see, dIter years ol pam, alter

horse liniments, and spent money on
doctors without getting any better, l

l bought another bottle, thinking the
pain might come back, but 1t did not,
so l gave the bottle away to a friend
who had lame back. | can't speak
too highly of this wonderful pain

There died at Vienna the other day
a woman who claimed to be the cham
Dion man-hater of the world. This
was her boast during her lifetime. and
as yet her tie stands undisputed She
decreed in her viii that no male per-
sons should have anything to do with
her burying. She must be laid out,
preached over, and carried to the
cemetery by women, a woman must
shovel earth on the box other women
had nailed her up in, and her grave
stone must be chiseled by woman's
hand. During the funeral procession,
however. hard wind made it impos-
sible for one of the flagbearers to hold
hel burden, and man was called for

NEW OIL FIELD.
Great Stir In Orchard Park Just North
OF Canon City--Pushing Work
on the Derrick.

AS stated in last weeks RECORD
the oil well fever has been gradually
drawing nearer to Canon City. At
that time it was hardly supposed that
oil would be found within the limits
of the city, yet this may prove to be
the fact. Orchard Park Addition is
located about two miles from the
postoffice, and is north of the city.
The land is owned by S H. Atwater.
Never before has prospecting for oil
been made in this particular locality.
Now, however, large force of men
and teams are as busy as bees in the
erection of derricks, constructing
buildings and getting everything in
readiness for drilling. Mr.. R. S.
Lewis is at the head of the enterprise
in the way of management.
As we understand it sufficient local
capital has been pledged to carry on
development work, and the promise
now is that about January first, next,
the earth VIII have been penetrated
to depth of 1000 feet.
The outcome of this matter will be
with much interest, as the
territory is not far removed from the
irst oil well discovered in this part of
.he state.

Literary Notes.

THE Man of Mexico is the strik-
ing title of an article on President
Diaz which appears in the Magazine
number of THE OUTLOOK for Novem-
ber. The writer is Mr. Charles F.
Dummis, author of the best book on
Mexico, "The Awakening of Nation"
Special pertinence attaches to the
publication of this article at the pres.
ent moment, when the Congress of
South American nations and of the
United States is beginning its sessions
in the City Of Mexico in response to
President Diaz' invitation. The story
of President Diaz' life reads like a
novel. His personal bravery in battle
and his narrow escapes from his en-.
emies form an extraordinary tale of
conflict and success. ($3 year,
