A One-Legged Wonder.

Uncle Sam until recently had a
servant who could stand on one
leg and make a record OF 100 per
cent in throwing letters while the
train on which he was working
was making sixty miles an hour.
Twenty years ago Frank H. Mil
Ter was a switchman in the Burl-
ington yards at Ottumwa. While
at his work he suffered the loss OF
a leg. After he got on his feet,
or rather his foot, he worked at
anything he could find, and oc-
casionally found temporary job
IN subbing for one OF the regular
clerks in the service. Finally he
applied for a regular run and got
it. From short runs he graduated
to one OF the most important in
the service and is now on the
Burlington fast mail between
Chicago and Burlington, residing
at the latter place.

unionism In the United States.

The rapid rise of labor unionism
in America is traced by w. s.
Ripley, professor OF economies at
Harvard. When English unions
have increased, in nine years,
from 100000 to 100000, those
of the United States have grown
from 10000 to 100000. The
causes for this growth have been
in the main prosperity, for trust

strike, and the labor movements

the unions will depend, Professor
Ripley thinks. on the continued
prosperity of the country, and or

The feature OF the week has been naturally the
advance in refined and crude oil. IL has been
many months since operators have been cheered
with such news The advance in the refined prod

points above the long quoted price, making the

been made before in view OF the general field
conditions which have existed for many months
The situation in the lower southwest field shows
little or Improvement last week and the
many preceding weeks, unless the one single ex-
ception in Greene County. in the Iinech district

little TO be said OF the southwestern field and
the list OF dry holes, small bumpers is steadily
growing in length. The older wells and
especially in Wetzel and Harrison counties in the
deep sand territory. which started out as espe-
cialy strong affairs. have all dropped off until
but few OF them remain In the 100 barrel

drilled in the Littleton district. Wetzel County on
the George w. Soles farm 1t is in the Gordon

and there is hope that on deeper drilling 1t may
prove even better.
In the Indiana district better feeling prevails
as several good producing wells have come 70

Pointed Paragraphs.

From the Chicago News.l
A woman has simply got to love
something, even if it is only mar.
When You feel like telling your
troubles write them down-then burn
the paper.
A mans idea of personal liberty is
his ability to butt into the affairs of
his neighbor.
A widow is usually more particular
about the choice of a second husband
than she was about the first.
If a man is always chaperonett by
his wife he is pretty sure to meander
along in the straight and narrow path.
When a brides mother weeps it
may be because her daughter didn't
marry man with less beauty and
more money.
The sweet girl graduate who pounds
her pillow until her poor old mother
has breakfast ready will prove a great
to some man.
