His Last Hope Realized

his Last nope heollZou
From the Sentinel, GebO, Mont.
In the first opening Of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor Of
this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made
the big race one fine day in April.
During his travelling about and
afterward his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad
water, which together with the Sc
we're heat, gave him a very severe
Diarrhoea which 1t seemed almost
i'm possible TO check, and along In
June the case became so bad he
expected to die. One day one OF
his neighbors brought him one
small bottle OF Uhamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Dlarrhoea Remedy as
a last hope. A big dose was given
him while he was rolling about on
the ground in great agony, and in
a few minutes the dose was re-
peated. The good effect OF the
medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was
taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. That one little b tile
worked complete cure, and le
cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel, disorders being at
hand suggests this item. For sale

KENTUCKY OIL.
ESituatiOn in Eastern Kentucky:
Reviewed at Length.

Since Kentucky nrsI began 10 ue
developed as an oil field the move
ments of the Standard Oil Com
pany as regarded the State have
been watched with much interest.
Before the Standard made known
its intention to build line from
Somerset to Parkersburg, w. VA
all anxiety awaited the time when
the field could produce enough oil
to pay to put in a line OF this
length. Since work on the line
was begun several months ago all
Kentucky has looked on with JOY
and has awaited with anxiety the
time when the production of the
Bluegrass State will be turned into
the main line and started on its
way to the reflnerles. That time
will soon be.
or all the work the Standard has
done in the State, what ii has done
and is doing in Bath county, is Civ
ing rise to the most. comment.
This is especially true in respectto
those who are most Interested in
the Bath county division OF the
Kentucky field. The Cumberland
Pipe Line Company, the carrying
branch OF the Standard in Ken
lucky, has just completed a branch
line from Salyersville, Magofiir
county, to the Ragland farm, Bath
county, a distance Of forty-on'
miles. This line is Of four-incf
pipe. 1t was tested on Friday
night, May 8, and it took SO'
80 cors pressure to send waite
.ough it. A pumping station
LIKE the one at Barbourville ha
been put in at the Ragland end o
the line. 1t has been understoo,
all along that the pipe line peopl
would not mix the heavy oil Q
Bath and other counties with tn
lighter product. For long tim
this question was on the tongues c
all: What will the Standard d
with the heavy oil? This was SCI
tied as far as Knox county was cor
cerned when the Standard mad

sand wells on the Louisville an

1t now appears that the Standal

that In Knox county, may be dl
posed OF. But few facts concer
ing the company IS intention a

She shook her head and went back TO her seat
where, so sad expression came upon her features
that all the artists stopped work in despair and de-
clared that she growing too tired to sit longer
hen, instead OF working they sat around and told
the most wonderful stories so that she was cheerful
again and marveled at their store of good tales

The RESCUE

"Pray, your Highness, tell me what means this
mystery!" asked the Chief of Police, in wonder
ut means, replied the Prince, chat / took a lit
tie notion to my future bride before the others
at court Keep silent, but pretend to take all of my
artist friends here out to execution one by cne

Is led out until my turn comes"
Ah. seeP said the Chief of Police. "a good
joke. You viii discover whether she loves you Of
not. Ha, ha :"
The Princes commands were carried out, and
although the Princess had great difficulty IN con
trolling herself the guns roared out telling. as
she supposed that another artist had been shot she
managed to restrain her tremblings and keep her
composUre until Richard only remained. When the
soldiers marched IN to lead him to execution she
could keep silent no longer. She cried to Colonel
Caskowisky:
Release himI I, as your Princess, forbid you to
shoot himl"
'THe must die I" replied Caskowisky.

"There is but one way to As your hus-
band, or even as your promised husband, they viii

"Then l viii break my fathers promise to the
Princes council and I hereby declare that I viii
wed yOu and only you; for, after ALL I wiz confess
that it Is you 1 love and not this nasty Prince
whom l have never SEEM
He took the Princess by the hand and led her
out to where carriage waiting, and then the
Colonel slipped back and released all of the artists
telling them that the Prince of Gardenia had com
manded them to come every one to the court the
morrow without fail.
Then he reJoined his master, the Prince and
they galoped back to Gardenia, where the Princess
was installed in splendid ROOM all ivory and gold
with dozen beauties of the court to wait upon her
HAPPY EVER AFTER
But she was sad, for she knew not what had been
done with her promised husband, and she slept
very poorly that night. In the morning she was
told that the Prince had commanded her to prepare
to marry him at once, and although she protested,
the ladies dressed her gorgeOusy for the wedding
and led her to the Princes audience-chamber, and
opening the door, bade her enter.
II am a Princessl" thought Grace "and ne
viii not dare TO wed against my wishes. I viii
face him and command him to release me, and my
Richard well"
Then she entered the room, only to find her art
st there, but grandy attred IN ermine and satins
that she scarcely recognized him.
Il am the Prince" he said, and thereupon he ex-
planned the mystery. She was angry that she was
quite willing to box his ears, but she could be
cross after he kissed her.
AT the wedding all the other artists made merry
and always after that in everything that done IN
Gardenia they were consulted, and, believe me- It
was jolly place indeed thenceforth, for no people
can invent the fun that artists can, without half
thiisNirs. about 1t, either.

forever after, and that's 81 Of my story.

Hospitals are not usually supposed
to be very cheerful places, but that at
the Home, yesterday, was full OF
Christmas as the willing hands of the
nurses and various employees could
make it through seasonable decorations
and pleasant greetings. Many of the
patients too, very many of them, re-
ccivcd Christmas remembrances, let
tcrs, packages and kilograms from
more or less distant friends. And the
hospital was decorated throughout with
evergreen and with flags and bunting.
The dining room especially was almost
a bower of green and at noon with it's
bountiful,y spread tables looked very
cheerful and inviting.
