CoNEJos COUNTY OIL co.
Florence Man as Secretary of the
New Company.

The Conejos County Oil company
is a recent venture in the oil develop
ment of Colorado having secured ter
ritory in Conejos county in the south
ern part of the state where the
prospects for oil are most fiattering
indeed. The land lies close to La
Jara which is one of the ID. & r. G..
railroad points and judging from the
stratum old oil men believe that oil
can be encountered at depth of about
1000 feet.
The Tribune notes that one of Flor.
ence's citizens. W. P. Hillix, is secre-
tary of the company, while other well
known citizens of Denver, Pueblo and
st. Louis are officers or directors of
the company.
The Conejos county Oil company
owns its land and that is quite an
item to people who are induced to in
vest in stock. because you know you
are buying AN interest in company
that owns something besides prospect
i've oil strikes on leased lands.

VERY SATISFACTORY.
Oil-burning Plant on the Mariposa
Pleases the Naval Experts.

Although the official report of
Lieutenant Winchell, who was de-
tailed to accompany the oil-burning
steamer Mariposa ON her recent trip
from San Francisco to the Society Is
lands and return for the purpose of
making comprehensive report upon
every feature of the oil-burning de-
vices used by that steamer, has not
yet reached the Navy department,
unofficial data has arrived which is
considered very satisfactory to those
interested. The run from San Fran
cisco is 3, 43S knots 1t was made by
the Mariposa at the rate of / g. l2 knots
per hour, the whole run lasting eleven
days, during which little over 400
tons of oil were consumed. The nun
Der of pounds of oil per knot used on
the run was $50 9, which is equivalent
to 1858 knots per ton of oil. 1t re-
quired / 90 pounds of oil per hour to
develop one horse power. This is
considered quite satisfactory, as under
ordinary sea going conditions it re-
quires between two and a-half and
three pounds of coal to develop one
horse power.

which the wistful eyes of Mary, queen

seamen as they set forth in their tiny

Well Bred Women.

The best bred women do not fuss.
They take their gowns and their furni-
ture, their jewels and their children as
n matter of course. They are uncon-
scious of their wells and their gloves,
and they expect every one else to be
equally so. If they see an intimate
wearing handsome gown, they refer
to it admiringly, but they also preface
their comment with an apology. Their
differences with their husbands are
not aired, neither are the domestic up.
heavals caused by the desertion of the
cook on wash morning. The repose Of
the well bred woman is not the quiet
of weakness. 1t is the calm of trained
faculties, balanced so nicely that an
earthquake may cause a change Of
color, but will not bring forth a loud
cry. Well bred women are boon to
the human race. They help the social
and professional world to maintain a
high standard both of morals and be-
havior.-Philadelph Telegraph.

One morning girl whose face was
under cloud of unhappiness from con-
stantly laboring under the impression
that she was plain walked out into
the sunshine of Boston Common. In u
moment the gloom lifted, for the bright
ness of the morning had made her
thoughts unusually pleasant.
What a pretty, happy girl that Is
we just passed." she heard one of two
ladies say to the other.
She looked quickly around, with en-
Wy in her heart, to see the pretty girl,
but she was the only girl in sight.
"Why, they mean me~ she exclaimed
In pleased surprise. mo one ever called
me pretty before. 1t must be because
l am smiling"
Again, as she was entering street
car, she heard, "Did you see that pret-
ty looking grip
We'll, declared" she mused. 81 am
always going to look happy II this is
what comes of It, l have thought my
self homely all my life, and here twice
In one day I've been called pretty"
From that day she did try to look
happy and now she is regularly con-
sidered as one of the leading beauties
of her social circle.-Boston Journal.

A Really Poor Author,

When DIR. Johnson was resident of
Grub street, he made the acquaintance
of poet named Samuel Boyse, whose
poem on the Deity and other works
had earned him high praise. Boyse
could not go abroad to seek work be-
cause his clothes were in pawn, so he
lay abed with his arms thrust through
two holes in the insective blanket,
which was the only covering, writing
and starving. Johnson raised enough
money to get his clothes for him, but
two days later Boyse was in bed again,
eating n stew of beef and mushrooms
purchased by the repawning of his suit.
Il might as well eat while may" he
said, "for l must some day starve,
whether l will or not"

NEW SHORT STORIES
Rough on wilkins,

Beriah wilkins, owner Of the Wash
ington Post, was formerly represent
ative In congress from Ohio. He tells
with great glee story about his first
campaign. When he was nominated,
he had never made n public speech.
Soon after the convention delega-
ton came to him from a small town In
his district and asked him to come out
to a ratification meeting. wilkins said
he would, but cautioned the delegation
against asking him to speak. They
said that would be all right, as they
had provided two professional spell
binders. All wilkins would have to do,
they said, would be to shake hands and
kiss the babies.
Wilkins went, was met by brass
band and escorted to the hall. Then, to
his utter disMay, he found that the
spellbinders had not arrived. The chair
man insisted that Wilkins must say
something. He stood up, was intro
duced and said everything he could
think of. After he had been talking
what seemed to him two hours, but in
reality was not more than fifteen min
utes, he gave out entirely and sat
down.
There was dense silence. Not per-
son IN the hall applauded. Then the
chairman arose and said:
'Tf there is anybody in the hall that
can make a speech, we will be glad to
hear him."
