Texas Can Furnish Oil for the World.

| WASHINGTON, July 4.-"Just be.
fore I left Beaumont, Tex, the other
day, I paid 81 per night to sleep on q
cot upon the sidewalk" said H. J.
Williams, of Los Angeles, CAL, the
representative Of the Atlantic land
Pacific Oil Company, who is in this
city.
"That will give one faint idea Of
The crowded condition Of the town.
Or course I had room at one Of the
hotels, but it frequently happened
thai during the excitement of the oil
speculation would remain near the
exchange over night to be early on the
scene in the morning. From popu-
iation Of 1000 the oil boom has
brought Beaumont within the past
eight months over 80, 900 people. And
there is still rush by the hundreds
to the oil fields.
Land .hs. sold for 81 per acre
eight months ago is now bringing al
most any price asked. The las, big
sale was reported on June 16, when
one acre Of land brought S164, 900.
II have travelled all over the world
insnecting wells, and 1 am forced to
say that in all my experience [ never
saw anything like the oil wells in
Beaumont field. This is without ex-
ception the richest and purest fuel oil
yet discovered. The oil we'll Of the
largest known capacity, 100000 bar
rels per day, is located in Baku, Rus
sia, but the oil from that we'll con tains
considerable sand and slush, while
the oil from tae Beaumont field is
entirely free from extraueneous mat
ter. Hardly day passes but that q
new gusher is located. The oil is not
confined entirely to the Beaumont
field, for rich strikes have been found
in the adjacent counties.
Zone thing that has added en- IL.
petus to the oil bottom is the fact tha
the Santa Fe Railroad and other roads
are making arrangements to use the
fuel oil instead of coal, and, as an ex-
pert, based on years of experience, do
not hesitate to say that Texas is now
able to supply the world with fuel oil.
There are number of wells in full
blast that have capacity Of over co.
600 barrels per day.
"Just before left Beaumont ar.
rangements had been completed to put
on line Of tank steamers to supply
Porto Rico with fuel oil. And fac
tories in New York and Boston are
sending in orders for oil. The people
are fairly wild with the oil fever, and
stocks Of the different companies re-
Gently organized are soaking like the
thermometer in Washington. For ex-
citement that does not subside, the
scenes on the New York Stock Ex.
change are not to be compared with
what is now daily witnessed on the
exchange in Beaumont.

Esau Buck and the Buck Saw.

An old farmer Of Arkansas, whose
sons had all grown up and left him
hired 9 young man by the name Of
Esau Buck to help him on his farm,
On the evening Of the frst day they
hauled up small load Of poles TO,
wood and unloaded them between the
garden and the barn yard. The mex.
morning the old man eaid to the hired
man; "Esau, | am going to town to.
DAY and while I am gone you may saw
up that wood and keep the old ram
out OF the garden. When the old maj
had gone Esau went out to saw the
wood, but when he saw the saw he
wouldn't saw it. When Esau saw tie
saw he saw that he couldn't saw it
with that saw. Esau looked around
for another saw, h:. ..aast4 ..aast4 Was ttne oniy
saw he saw, SO he didn't saw it.
When the old man came home he says
to Esau: "Esau, did you saw the
woodf' Esau said: 81 saw the wood.
but L wouldn't saw it; for when saw the
saw, l saw that I couldn't saw with
that saw, so l didn't saw it," The
old man went out to see the saw, and
when he saw the saw he saw
that Esau couldn't saw with that saw.
When Esau saw that the old man saw
that he couldn't saw with the saw.
Esau picked up the ak and chopped
up the wood and made a see.saw.
The next day the old man went to
town and bought new buck saw for
Esau Buck, and when he came home
he hung the buck saw for Esau Buck
on the saw buck by the see-saw. Just
at this time Esau Buck saw the old
buck in the garden eating cabbage,
and when driving him from the garden
to the barn yard Esau Buck saw the
buck saw on the saw buck by the see
saw, and Esau stopped to examine the
new buck saw. Now when the old
ram saw Esau Buck looking at the
new buck saw on the saw buck by the
see-saw, he made a dive for Esau.
missed Esau, hit the see saw, knocked
the see-saw against Esau Buck, who
fell on the saw. Now, when the old
man saw the old buck dive at Esau
Buck and miss Esau and hit the saw
saw and knock the see-saw against
Esau and Esau Buck fall on the buck
saw on the saw buck by the see-saw.
he picked up the axe to kill the old
buck, but the buck saw him coming,
and lodged the blow and countered on
the old mans stomach; knocked the
old man over the see-saw onto Esau
Buck, who was getting up with the
buck saw off the saw buck by the eee-
saw, crippled Esau Buck, broke the
buck sag and the saw buck and the
see-saw. Now, when the old buck
saw the completeness Of his victory
over the old man and Ksau Buck and
the buck saw and the cav buck and
the see-saw, he quietly turned around, ,
went back and jumped into the garden
again and ate up what WAS left of the
old mans cabbage.

A BIG SEND OFF. !.
Mary. James Wedding.
BRIDGES snsith, tn Atlantic journal.

versation is concerned, but il gives
rise to suspicion that the ceremony
is not SO far OF as it had been. Eliza
appears in the door ON a quiet search
for the reporter who promised to come,
and fading him on hand, darts back
to INFORM the bride, who is resting
first on one foot and then on the 9th
er.' but still willing &c &c married, inas
everybody is ready.
Mary Jane and her young man walk
into the room with majestic tread, but
! looking as if both had been stealing
sheep. The female friends who had
been embalming her for the ordeal fol-
low, and Eliza slips away to have @
quiet little cry all to herself. The
old lady pats her scant hair to see that
it is not falling down, and then walks
in with the old man, who by this time
doesn't care whether school keeps or
not. The knot is tied, and the min
lister, with some little doubt in his
mind as to the size Of the fee, utters
cautious congretulation, and the smart
young man, recovering his gaiety,
makes break for the first kiss.
| Then the crowd rushes to the room
where the presents have been conceal
ed from view. They have been ar
ranged on long table by lady friend
who clerks in the ten-cent store, and
were arranged with taste, if she did
say so herself. Each present is tag
ged with card bearing the name of
the friend who was taxed that way,
and each guest satisfies himself or
herself that his or her present has
reached it's destination, and at the
same time comparing the other gifts.
Then Eliza, having dried her eyes,
announces supper. There is a rush
for the room where the frosted cake
and the angel food and stuff have been
stored and worked on. and for time
there is joy in the land. The smart
young man is now in his element, for
it has been discovered that he can eat
much better than he can talk.
Then the guests leave one by one,
but not before saying some funny and
obliging things to the newly.tied.
The old man sheds the collar and 9th
er things that have worried him,
lights his pipe and takes his long
wished-for seat on the front porch and
thanks the Lord that it is all over.
Next day the newspaper tells all
about it. The reporter made pretty
story of the affair, said good word
the best he ever had said about him
about the groom, made the bride
beautiful woman and. gave her charms
that she never dreamed of, raised the
old man in his own estimation, said
something nice about the old lady,
and as for Eliza, she was so we'll pleas
ed with the mention of the whole
family that she forgave the little sis
ter for landing her fish first, and sent
copies OF the paper to relatives in
four States.
Moral for the Girls-If you want to
catch a young man 80 you can hold
him fast, talk like real girl. There
are other and surer ways of saving the
souls Of young men than keeping them
shut up in the. parlor, telling them
about Church societies. This may be
wrong, but it is true.
