Mr.. Geo. W. Hayes says he is not near
so anxious to sell his oil property now as
he was few days ago. While out pros

Shirley, he discovered plain and I'M
mistakable stream of oil flowing 10 the
Whites Spring branch, which runs
through his land. Upon removing d
large rock in the bottom of the stream,
the oil began to bubble up and flow,
and has been running ever since. This
spring is several hundred yards from
the first one discovered on the river
bank. He says he is confident he has
oil, a1d intends to keep up his investi-
CATION. Tuesday he sold two of his
lots to DR.. Dawson and Mr.. w. A..
Hayes for eco each, and yesterday five
other lots at $50 each.

NOT A SCIENCE.

Medicine is not a science, and never
can become a science. Two chemists
of equal attainment will arrive at the
same result in a matter of analysis
two mathematicians will give the
same answer to a problem III arithe-

same level for sewer pipe two nayi.
gators will travel the same road in
the ocean where there is no road save
i'll the mind Of the shipper. Admiral
Semmes said he had nothing to do but
to lie at crossroads with the sea to
catch the New England trading vessels.
These results are the outcome of
science. Now, ask two physicians to
make diagnosis in an obscure case
even i'll simple cases they differ as far
as the east from the west. Rotheln,
or German measles, is harmless
affair enough scarlet fever is one OF
the most malignant of the exanthe-
mata. In case occurring some years
ago in Philadelphia two physicians Of
similar experience saw the patient
within an hour of each other; one
pronounced it measles and the other
scarlet fever. In prescribing, the
differences are even greater, and the
results more disastrous. Quinine ha:

Every generation condemns both th'

about the same proportion that the!
always did. A theory based upon fact
will stand the test of time, investiga

heretofore medical theories are false
then there were no facts upon whicl

The quantity of medical literatur

The above clipping will have greater
weight with the public, as it had its
origin in the brain of an NJ. D. and
was first published in one of the lead
ing Medical Journals of the land. The
truthfulness of his statements will not
be called in question. Why not, then
call for an Osteopath when sick? If
he cannot find the cause of your trouble
he will tell you so. Of one thing you
feel sure, he will not experiment on
your case. If he should not cure you he
will not kill you. The Osteopath looks
for and removes the cause of the
trouble and nature does the rest We
are constantly relieving suffering hui
mainly and sending them on their
way rejoicing They soon bring OF
send their friends who are afflicted that
they too may be relieved, and thus the
good work goes on.

annoyed his mother. When he was
child she had said one day, "Where he
gets that look beats me- He minds
well, an he'd oughter, 'seein' the trou-
BILE I've been to, bringing him up. His
hands an feet are quick enough to do
as / say, but l can't feel but what
there's somethin' back of his eyes that
l amt never touched"
Lorinda North kept little shop,
which was the local exponent of metro
politan styles. She was woman who
took life hard. 1t did not come easy to
any of these hard-worked, narrow
lived women, and she had fought
against each hard knock until all the
softness, which may once have been
hers, had been rubbed Off. There had
been an old love affair between these
two, but how far 1t had progressed no
one ever quite knew. Some one had
once ventured to ask Lorinda about It,
"She wasn't going to be an old wom-
ans nurse" she had said. "She'd al
ways made out to make n living for
herself, and she guessed she could still.
She wasn't going to live in any mans
house and have another woman boss
It."
Perhaps in these years in which
there had been plenty of time for quiet
thought she had sometimes regretted
her lost chance Of happiness. Surely
they had been lonely years, hard years,
too, and they had borne their fruit in
Lorinda North. There wasn't woman
in the town who did not feel little
uneasy when under the battery of her
sharp eyes. Phineas Harden had been
the only one who had ever pushed open,
even ever so slightly, the door of her
heart; and after she had closed this
little chink, love had gone to easier
pathways, and left the door of Lorin-
da's heart closed hard and fast.
People had speculated somewhat as
to how she would take the news of
Mrs. HaiNen's death. Perhaps 1t had
stirred, more deeply than she knew,
the undercurrent Of her life. Surely,
Phlneas was often In her mind in these
days. Not with any tenderness of feel
ing did she think Of the lonely man;
but perhaps because his solitary life
bore so closely on her own did her
thoughts so often turn to him. AS she
looked forward, as she did sometimes
Of late, to the years and years stretch

In the afterglow of the sunset Phin-
ems sat turning the letter over in his
hand. The fading light was too dim
for the faint, indistinct writing, and he
lighted the lamp.
He looked at the date and 1t gave him
a curious feeling to know that his
father had been younger than he him
self was when he had written the let
ter. 1t was true that he had thought
of his father but little, and perhaps
nothing in his life had ever touched
him as did this letter, which seemed as
real to him as though it were his faith
er's voice coming down to him through
the years.
The writing was stiff and cramped.

The dead woman was lying in the best
room. 1t had been the passing away of
a hard life.
Phineas Harden leaned his head
against. the shutter which had been
closed to keep out the glaring light, and
as he sat there, half-hearing the sounds
which came to him through the open
window, he heard quite distinctly these
words:

an it warn't much of a job fer con-

Phineas never forgot that. 1t had
been the putting into words what he
had never quite admitted even to him
self.
The days that followed his mother S
death passed peacefully enough. After
a while he became used to the quiet of
the house. 1t didn't seem lonely to
him; he had never felt lonely, not even
at the first. 1t was only as though
some discordant note had dropped out
of his life.
People sometimes looked curiously at
him and wondered If he ever thought
of Lorinda North. But no one could

est Not long ago the millionaire pres

in Ohio made a speech at a banquet,
and to illustrate how seeming misfor-

he said that he got his start In life
through being kicked off of an accom-
mOdation train In the dead of winter.
1t was during the hard times of the

self stranded somewhere In Southern
Ohio. He was stone broke and desper-
ate, and wanted to get to Dayton,
where he had heard vaguely there was
something doing in his trade. So one
bitter cold evening he slipped on board
an accommodation train, hoping to be
able to talk the conductor into carrying
him, but he failed ignominiously.
He begged and pleaded, and told his
story with all the eloquence of despair,
but the ticket puncher refused to melt.
On the contrary, he pulled the bell rope
when they came to the next station,
grabbed the unhappy young mechanic
and propelled him off the car with a
series of swift kicks. He landed In a
snowbank and slept in freight shed,
but next day his chance came. A span
suddenly gave way In new iron
bridge over big creek at the edge of
the town, and the whole structure
threatened to go down before experts
could arrive from the builders foun-
dry. At that critical juncture the
stranger jumped into the breach, built
Il temporary supporting trestle out of
logs and crossties, and saved something
like $4,000 worth of work. OF course,
the bridge people were delighted, and
when they saw what really scientific
job he had done they offered the shabby
engineer a handsome position In their
establishment. From that on his rise
was rapid, and, in concluding the little
tale, he laid especial stress on the ap-
parent hopelessness of his position the
night he was elected from the train
and made the point that one should
never give way to despair "If that
conductor had carried me on instead of
kicking me ox," he said, II would have
missed the great chance of my life,
and might be working now at the
bench. am really indebted to him for
my start in the world, and have often
wished that could meet him and tell
