Oil In Phillips County.

lives in Bow Creek township discover

dug. The oder was strong and test

some expert opinions as to the value
of his discovery. The following article
from the Kirwin Kansan will give the
idea of two of our prominent educa-

time and so grows thin and lean and

A Witty Reply.

Whenever the United States supreme
court, on hearing the argument Of
counsel for plaintiff in error, is entirely
satisfied that he has no case, the chief
justice is apt to say to counsel for de-
PENDANT in error that the court does not
care to hear further argument. At one
time Hon. Matthew Carpenter from
Wisconsin was counsel for plaintiff in
error and opened the case. Before he
was through the court was satisfied
that there was nothing in it, and so
when he had concluded and counsel
for defendant in error arose Chief JUS
tice Waite said, 'The court does not
care to hear any further argument"
Counsel was little deaf and, al
though noticing that the chief justice
spoke, did not hear what he had said
and, turning to Mr.. Carpenter, who
sat beside him, asked what had been
said. T
ooh, hang it" replied Carpenter in
tones audible to the bench. 1.-THE chief
justice said he would rather give you
the case than hear you talk. youths

Wherever the Americans goes in Eu-

international exhibition of recent years,
beginning even with that of Paris in
1867, American fire engines and ladder
trucks have taken prizes.
At the Paris exposition Of two years

gines competed The test was made
from cold water in the boiler. The av-

eight to twelve minutes. Their streams
reached about half way across the

of the stream was nearly double that

Wayne" says Mr.. Spears. "The title
was originated by an Irish soldier who
had been confined in the guardhouse ut
the order Of the general, and it was
taken up by the people because Of the
wild enthusiasm and determination
with which Wayne led his men when
the supreme moment of battle came
But observe that when the war Of the
Revolution impended he 'ransacked his
tory for accounts of battles that he
might learn military tactics, and he
gave his days. to the training of his
neighbOrs. At Stony Point he led his
men in spite of his wound. but in pre-
pairing for the battle he appealed to
the pride of his men by paraGing them
clean shaved and with hair well pow
dered.' while the prelaid plans includ-
ed even the slaughter of the dogs, that
no yep should betrny the approach of
the assaulting host. When in Virginia,
he charged the hosts of CORVALLIS

in Ohio. where the honor of the nation

the outer crust was broken over the
