that Harvard men lost about $50. 600

A HO[ElN THE GROUND

the South Penn Oil
Company. :
GREAT WEST VIRGINIA GUSHER

Deep Sand Territory of Harrison
County.

Clarksburg. w. Va, Dec 1s.-From
q small hole in the earth the equiva-
lent of $152 in hard cash is pouring
every hour. 1t comes from the largest
deep-sand gusher of the year, and was
drilled in by the South Penn Oil COM
pany. 1t is spouting at the rate OF so
barrels an hour, worth s1.90 barrel.
This would make an income Of sS,64s
day.
The well is the third one drilled IN
by the South Penn company on the
Wesley Robinson farm, ON the Wal
lace side of the Folsom district. Har-
rison county, W. Va. While drilling
in the Gordon at depth of ~ feet the
pay was struck and drilling was sus-
pended, but this did not deter the well
from drilling itself in, and at the ex-
piration of eight hours 1t had placed
1886 barrels to its credit and was stiil
increasing its production.
At the noon hour ii had increased
to so barrels an hour, and then, on
account of shortage OF tankage, it was
partly shut in, but at 3 o'clock was
spout:ng away at the rate of so bar
rels an hour, and is expected to in
crease its production when the own
ers are better prepared to take care
of the oil.
The location is inside of defined
limits and does not open up new

drilled in some months ago. and each
is now producing about so barrels a

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
DIR. Leech and Mike G0rman Figure in
Amusing Comedy.

Attorney M e. German and DR.
S. V. Leech figured 10 little comedy
which was enacted in Charleston a
few days ago and which is too good to
keep. 1t will be all the more appre-
ciated because the minister's reputa-
tiou for Observation-Disclosures and lapses
of memory is we'll Known here.
Mr.. German has been in Charleston
for some time engaged in school work.
Last Sunday, being good Methodist,
he went to DR.. Leech's church. When
the pastor entered. he was delighted
to see an old Morgantown friend and
greeted him most etfusively as Rev
Mallonee! Invitations were poured
out rapidly to the victim of mistaken
identity, first 20 preach, then to lead
in prayer, and finally, to at least sit
Ia the pulpit. Mr.. German was mys-
titled, but steadily declined these I'm
looked for and embarrassing atten-
tions.
DR.. Leech finally let him go and
went to the pulpit, announcing before
his sermon that Rev. Mallonee was In
the audience but had declined to par
ticipate in the services.
After the sermon, many Of the broth
ers and sisters came up and greeted
him cordially. He still did not real.
lie that he was the "Rev. Mallonee''
referred to by the preacher, and not
until Site Superintendent OF Schools
Thomas z. Miller. who knows Mr.
German well, grasped the situation,
and came to the rescue, was the attor-
ney relieved. OF his ministerial person
ality. Those who know Mr.. German
and Rev. Mallonee admit that there is
some excuse for mistaking one for the
other. Mr.. German does not care TO
repeat the experience.

TOOK THEIR DOLL RAGS

uMilk for babes but meat for men,
When man can no more eat mans
food, but exists on milk and cracker
diet he is gone back to babyhood. He
may be big man but he has baby's
stomach.
Success in life depends largely on the
stomach. The man with the baby's
stomach finds himself also with a baby's
peevishness and perversity. He has the
baby's exaggerated personal sensitive
ness and jealousy. He is an annoyance
to his friends and an anxiety to his
family. No man can be stronger than
his stomach. A weak stomach argues a
weak man. And vweak stomach is
the common starting point of most of
the so-called Weaknesses which affect
the great organs - heart, lungs, liver,
kidneys, etc. How can it be otherwise
when the body and all its organs are
dependent on the stomach for their
nutrition? The rweak stomach drags
the organs down with it, because being
weak It is unable to convert food into
nutrition, and the organs of the body
being starved, of necessity become weak,
as Consequence of starvation.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases Of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t
makes the weak body strong in the only
way physical strength can be made,
which is by food, properly digested and
assimilated. The cures of rweak y lungs,
weak heart, uweak - or sluggish liver,
weak kidneys. etc., which follow the
use of uGolden Medical Discovery are
all due to this perfect nutrition of the
body, the proof Of which is the remark
able gain of sound, solid flesh, which
invariably marks the cure.

Additional information on the
