SLEEP ON STRAW MATING.

If you want to sleep in GOODNESS and

straw mating" said a naval officer who
has recently returned from the Asiatic
station to New York Sun writer. 'Not
on the floor" he continued, though, of
course that would be cooler, but go to
some carpet dealer with the exact meas
urements OF your bed and have him sew
strips of mating together to fit, after
ward ironing the seams down hard Put
your mating between the sheet and the
mattress and you'll know what comfort
is You will have all the original soft
ness of the bed with none of its heat.
The coarser the mating the better, as
it will allow better ventilation"

WAS NOT VAN
TASSEL WHO DIED
The Man Whom the Sharks
Ate Was Named
Lawrence.

1t appears that Van Tassel, the aero
naut, is still living and that the man
who fell a victim to Hawaiian sharks
in his name many years ago, was an
employee named Lawrence. The real
Van Tassel gave this version of the
matter lately to the Sunday Chronicle:
For twelve of his first thirteen years
Of ballsoning, Van Tassel made ascen-
sions on holidays and at fairs along the
Pacific Coast. On October %, 1889, he
sailed away from San Francisco for a
two years tour of the world, but time
flew swiftly, and when, recently, the
Nippon Maru set him ashore at his
place of starting he found that he had
been gone nearly a dozen years. With
him when he sailed into the west was
Joe Lawrence, known professionally as
Joe Van Tassel, but Lawrence did not
come back. The world has already
heard his story. AT Honolulu, the first
stopping place on the trip, an exhibit
ton and parachute jump was given be-
fore merry King Kalakaua. Only one
aeronaut was needed. and Lawrence
thought 1t an honor to be that one.

PACIFIC UNION OIL CO.
Located in the Famous Coalinga Oil
Fields of California.

Proven oil lands, completely sur
rounded by as rich oil producing wells
as there are in the State, yielding from
so to $50 barrels per day.
Contract prices for oil at the Coal
inga wells, 20 cents per barrel
Witt twenty-five producing wells of
100 barrels each per day, you can make
your own calculation as to profits.
The oil industry In California is In
Its infancy, yet many fortunes have
been made by judicious and lucky in
vestments in OIL stock. Many more
will be made In the near future.
The average advance on original
sales Of oil stock in twenty leading
companies in California has been from
81 to sos per share.
Oil lands have advanced from 81 rs
to 1900 and $1,000 per acre.
When the Pacific Union Oil Company
has number Of producing wells on
its property. its stock will have the
same show for even greater advance,
as some Oil stock has advanced from
81 to 81 ,600 per share.
The Pacific Union Oil Company has
no salaried officers, and il controlled by
well known gentlemen OF integrity,
who will see that the money derived

mately applied to the development of
