 IN TEXAS FIELDS.
Output of the Product is Great in Both Texas and Caiifornis-New Wells Being Sunk.

The New York Tribune says: It is reported that the Santa Fe Rail road company has obtained options in the Saratoga oil fields of Texas. where the Southern Pacific already has c footing. If this story is correct, it is evident that another great transpor- ta;ion company has a realizing sense Of the value Of liquid fuel, and is talk ing steps to secure a supply It the lowest possible rates. In that part of the country, out in California and in the intervening region, oil is cheape. than coal There being no longer any question about the feasibility of burning it in locomotives, on steam ships and under the D. iers of station ary steam plants, thee is no reason why there should not De an enormous consumption both of Texas and Cali fornia petroleum.
 Of the two articles, last years pYo- duction was fully 30.000, 900 barrels or more than one-third of the output of the United States: About 6,000, ,000 barrels of the yield of 1902 in the Lone Star was stored unsold. and a large quantity was shipped to Europe aha to various ports along the Gulf of Mexico. Texas did no: consume at home nearly 50 much as California. perhaps because the practice is newer there than on the Pacific coast, but there ought soon to be 8 market for all that either of them can produce From petroleum of the southwest, as from that of the Pacific coast, only hating oil can be extracted. Howey- CT, the residuum, which constitutes from 70 to 75 per cent of the crude product, can be more safely stored than the latter.
 How long Texas and California will be able 10 furnish petroleum in the present abundance cannot be estma-- ed easily. AS the first wells that are opened show signs Of exhaustion, new ones are sunk in other fields. A good deal Of undeveloped territory, doubt less, remains in both Of these states In the next two or three years, with out doubt. actual production will be increased perceptibly, while the pc riod in which fresh sources will be- come available may extend through 8 quarter of a century. There seems to be tolerably good assarrance of B. 0O0. GOO barrels of residunm for af least a decade, and the supply may Last much longer.

What the Jury Founh.

Some years ago the body of a well
dressed man was found in field on
the outskirts of an English town
Ihere were no marks of violence. and
II was doubtful whether death had oc.
CURED from natural causes or if the
individual had committed suicide
In due course the body was identi-
ned. and gentleman who had been
acquainted with the deceased was cali
ed upon to give evidence at the in
quest.
Among other things, he stated that
he had always considered him to be 4
man of marked idiOsyncrasies. and his
brain was continually excited by his
Irresistible fOndness for chimeras of
various kinds.
The jury was evidently satisfied
with his statement and Immediately
brought in verdict that death was
caused by idiOsyncrasies forming on
the brain in consequence of excessive
Indulgence in chimeras," adding q rid
er that ''it should be warning to peo-
pie to refrain from that and other in
toxicating beverages"

THROWING AN OLD SHOE.
This Curious Wedding Cu~som Is Of
french Origin.


Tho origin of the curious custom of
throwing an old shoe after newly
married pair for luck has been traced
back to Il French peasant origin by a
young man interested in folklore and
quaint customs. In southern France,
after the wedding ceremony, the girl is
escorted to her new home by her girl
friends and left alone. The young hus-
band, also in the hands of his fridnds

dred yards away from the dwelling,

arms himself with an old sabOt, or
wooden SHOE while the bridegroom,
ducking his head, makes dash for the
house. The disgruntled suitor throws
as hard and as true as possible, and
the crowd cheers or derides, according
to the success of the shot. A wooden
shoe is a formidable missile in the
hands of an angry swain. and the
bridegroom is justified in having some
as he sees his defeated rival
practicing In anticipation of the we'd
ding day. Just think, says the search
er into folklore, how great a relief it
would be, even in this country. to take
a crack at the fellow who had done
you out of your best girl without hav- ]
ing the police step in! Over in France
the custom has a wider meaning. 1t /
signifies that the last i'll feeling is thus
thrown away, and it is the depth of (
disgrace for the man who has thrown
he shoe to harbOr any further malice
against the young couple.
