us what we want, but he will succeed

How one Firm STRUCK oil.

A peculiar accident near Six Points,
Ohio, recently gave an oIl-producing
firm visions Of limitless wealth.
This firm drilled well on the Wake
field farm, near the village. All of the
nitroglycerin shells were lowered safe

which lodged within twenty-five feet
of the surface, and was exploded in the
efforts of the shooter to dislodge #
This was considered unfortunate bnt

promised TO make 1t the biggest well

flow was so strong that the derrick was
almost instantly deluged from top to

the boiler and was burned to the

The Hens DeIusion.

Ephraim Knox lived in the center Of
his native village, and his hens wan
dered here and there at their own sweet
will, to the frequent annoyance of his
neighbors. Ephraim, however, was no
respecter of persons, and considered his
hens 'as good as anybody" and de-
girable visitors.
When It was decided that the town
library should be built in a vacant lot
next door to him." Ephraim was filed
with pride and joy, and he and his hens
superintended operations from the first.
Ephraim's brother Seth was not de-
voted to hens. One day he was passing
the site of the library with friend and
stopped to view the progress Of affairs.
Ephraim's hens were there, cackling
away as If their lives depended on it.
Seth looked at them in disgust.
"What in the world are those hens
making such a noise for, do you sup
pose? There amt any grain in there"
said the friend.
"Well," remarked Seth, dryly, they
we had the oversight of most every
thing in town. You know the corner
stone of the building was laid yester-
day, and | cale-late that speckled hen
over there thinks she laid it!'

SHOW A HEALTHY GROWTH,

Eastern Towns Have No Reason to BE
Ashamed of heir Progress.
The rapid growth of the cities of New
England and middle Atlantic States is
perhaps the most striking revelation yet
made by the twelfth decennial
census. OF the 159 cities of the coun-
try having a population of more than
$4,000, about eighty had made greater
numerical gain in the ten years just
closed than in the ten years preceding.
Since it goes without saying, also, that
about the same number grew faster
than the average-32.5 per cent-it is
interesting to ascertain from a study of
the bulletin where these cities are, con-
sidered by sections. Such a study af-
fords an admirable test of urban
growth and reveals in a striking man
ner the remarkable progress Of the
northwestern part of the country.
OF the eleven cities in the South At
lantic group of States only three grew
faster than the average for the coun-
try. THESE were Atlanta, Norfolk and
Jacksonville. In the south central re-
gion only seven out of eighteen grew
faster than the average. In the west
ern group six out of the twelve grew
faster than the average In the north
central group, comprising the States
nolth of the Ohio, the old free States,
with the addition of Missouri, twenty
two cities out of forty-eight made more
than average progress. With the coun-
try thus divided into five great sections,
none of the four so far mentioned shows
group of cities in which more than
half were growing faster than the av-
erage. The remaining section Is the
north Atlantic; in it forty-two out of
seventy cities have grown faster than
32.5 per cent. In Connecticut all five
of Its cities of this grade made a show
ing above the average and this can be
said of no other State In the Union, ex-
cept Rhode Island, In which all three
did the same thing. In New Jersey
seven out OF ten cities were above the
average; in Pennsylvania there were
eleven out OF eighteen; in Maine one out
of one, Portland, and in Massachusetts
eleven out OF twenty.
1t should be borne in mind that the
actual growth OF the cities in the north
central region was faster, due to the
presence of few cities on the great
lakes, but the number of cities to show
this tendency was. as already Indicated.

result is that the failure Of a crop means

and linseed every week. Rosario is sit

Buenos Ayres into the mouth of the Pa

The wheat is bagged on the farm. The
cars carry it to the edge of the bluff, and
Italian laborers take the bags and pitch
them into chutes leading to the vessels.
The bags fly down one after the other at
the rate of several to the minute. At
harvest time the wheat becomes cOngest-
ed at Rosario. The railroads have more
than they can do to carry the crop, and
almost all other traffic has to be suspend

up in bags at the stations and left there

such that the stock feeds out of doors
