tains. The detective. having gained
important information bearing on the
wentz case. was returning to Big
Stone Gap to report to the Wentz fam
lily. when he found himself confront
ed BY three armed men who would
not premit him to return. He made
three more attempts, the last time con-
cealing himself in wagon, but the
same armed men turned him back.
Today . letter was delivered to the
wentz house from the detained detec-
tive, having been carried across the
mountains by young man. This let
ter told of his being held owing to in
formation he had, and called for an
armed force to come to his assistance.
Five Pinkerton men left Big Stone
Gap for the scene. The distance lie S5
miles, over q rugged mountain road.
The detectives sre heavily armed and
q pitched battle may ensue.

One Of th, Sc champion ancient liars could turn
out lie any time and IL would 60. For example,
one OF these rOmancers started that story about
Hercules said that some OF bis folks back genera
tiOn or two used 70 know Herk, personally. And
then be went on to tell about how Hercules took q
couple Of snakes, each Of them a. long as q fence
rail and big around as bis leg, In his 6st when he
wasn't much over q week old and squeeze the life
out Of 'em. When the nurse came she found the
serpents dead by the cradle and little Herkie sitting
up calling for more snakes. That ancient liar told
that story to those people and never bated an eye
and they believed it. They we're certainly easy
tits true that there are some people yet who be.
eve things just unreasonable as the stories the
people believed then, but there are not so very
many as compared with the whole number OF peo-
pie; IN that day, however, it seems that lie, aud
mighty thin lie at that, went with everybody.
Since writing the foregoing We happened to no.
tice an account Of miner in Colorado who smoked
bis pipe while he sat on an open keg OF powder;
that is he smoked for a while. They think be may
get we'll sometime but be will never be q haud-
some person to look at. This, however, doesn't
prove that people generally have no more sense
than they had 1000 years ago. It simply proves
that there is quite sprinkling of fools in The world
yet.

no man can number them.
One-quarter OF the people in the world still
age to live fat of the fOllies Of the other hreequar
ters
fool is born every minute, and frequently there
are twins
But for all that, the world is getting wiser, wheth
er IL Is getting any better or not.
Judging from what Information We can gather
from reading, the people who lived 900 years ago
we're the most gullibe lot Of suckers that ever was
Apparently, any sort Of q lie went with them, pro.
vided some person was willing to stand for IL.
They looked up into the sky and saw what SEEM
ed to be solid vault and wondered what held It up.
There were lot Of knOW-it-alls then Just as thera
ere now. They looked wise and said that OF some
wherein the ocean vas giant who held up the sky
on his shoulders. And that lot Of gillalOO birds
opened their mouths and took in that sort Of gun
and believed it.
The people saw what seemed to be the edge OF the
world and concluded that the earth Was fat and
wondered what held 1t up. One Of the knOw.it-alls
was ready with a. answer. BE didn't hesitate 8
minute. There vas one thing about one Of thOsa
anefent liars. He bad his nerve with him at ell
times, and When Il vas necessary to invent q new
lie be didn't hesitate. he pumped It right out and
took bis chances on the gang Of Reubens believing
t. what is more he never missed bis guess. No
lie that be could tell vas too unreasonable for them
e swallow. The bigger the liar the more ready
they we're to bellows him and reverence him. When
they asked this question about what held the world
I'D the the boss liar bed en- explanation ready. He
told them that it vas held up By : gigantic ball,
Who occasionally got little weary, else felt frsky
and tossed the earth bis horns this the liar ex-
plained was what caused the earthquakes and the
great tidal waves that sometimes swept over the
shores Of the sea. You would naturally suppose
that some man or woman Ia the crowd would have
asked the liar what the bull stood On when he was
holding up the eorth, but none Of them did. Think
o ot Of people taking in lie like that and paying
the man for telling t. There are g lot Of suckers
il the world yet but certainly no man could take N
any considerable number on as thin lie as that

deeply grieved because his financial condition will

thus making their employees happy.
II we remember correctly the price Of oil has also
advanced. But there is, of course, a difference
Coal oil s a necessity, and the poor people are
obliged to have it nust butt their neads together
in the dark And they have got to buy it from Mr.
Rockefeller, too Congress has arranged that. The
price OF oil advancing cent per gallon, and thus
putting few more millions per year into Mr.
ROekeiellers pocket, might have raised the hopes
OF Mr.. ROckefeller's employees that they would get
their Christmas turkey even at the extra cost but
Mr. Rockefeller decided to deny himself the pleas
OF giving this year, however great the sacrifice
Meantime President Harper, OF Chicago Universi-
ty, where they aDalyze new ideas from the injury to
the human race resulting from bathing to the theory
that Eve was decided blonde, sits serenely in an
tcipaOn OF another million or two for that insttu-
tiOn on the face Of the oil advance, and does not
worry himself much about the question OF whether
or not Mr.. ROckeieller's employees have turkey for
their Christmas dinner. It is hard for a man OF Mr.
Rockeiellers generous nature to have to bear this
keen disappointment Rich men might not as q
rule worry about It, But when it is considered that
Mr.. ROckeieller's income is scarcely twenty five
millions year one can readily appreciate his posi-
tiOn. Now is the time to sympathize with him.
Poor Mr.. ROckefellerl Others may have their liz
tie disappointments, too, bnt what are they to the
great grief Of generous hearted soul which by rea-
son OF the cruel advance IN the price Of turkeys s
deprived Of one OF its few real pleasures in being
forced to cOnclnde that the advance in oil was not
sufficient TO justify the extra expenditure that hia
heart 90 keenly desired TO make3 Poor Mr.. Rocke-
iellerl All who have Christmas tears OF sympathy
to shed may nov prepare to shed them cOpiously.
