which Was his wffe3

A certain Turk, according TO rumor,
was once married to a yelled lady in
white in the presence of the sultan. AS
soon as the ceremony was concluded
the bride mysteriously disappeared.
The groom was led into an adjoining
room. where stood twelve ladies all
dressed in white, but without wells.
Choose from the twelve" exclaimed
the sovereign, cher that is your bride
AS the man had never seen her face the
command bewildered him. IF you
make mistake" added his majesty,
your life shall pay the forfeit" The
poor man walked ap and down the row
of beauties, but saw nothing whatever
TO aid his choice. You have only a
minute left" yelled the sultan In anger;
choose at once" Ten Of the ladies. he

stony stare. One Of them frOwned, the
other smiled. THE frowning one" he
thought, lis my bride, for she express

a Real President.

President Roosevelt is reported to
have said: 81 would like to be president
of the United States for another term,
but this much / will say, I propose to
be president this term 1 would rath-
er be all president for three and half
years than half president for seven
and half years" There Is well de-
fined suspicion that Mr.. Roosevelt has
been president since his elevation to
that Office. We are not aware that for
any brief moment the reins of govern
ment have passed to any one else. And
the American people like for president
a man who IS the president, and they
are going to show their appreciation OF
Theodore Roosevelt by making him the
president for four more years after his
present term expires. - Springfield

More Natural
Gas Produced

Never before has the produe-
ton of natural gas in the United
States been so great as it was in
the year 1903. This is the open
ing statement made in Mr.. Oil
plants report entitled "The
Production of Natural Gas IN
1903" which the United States
Geological survey has just pub
lished. The years product was
valued at $35,s15,360. This is
an increase in value of $4,947, 497,
or Is per cent, as compared with
1902. The increase in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio was especially re-
markable, amounting respectively
to $1,S3O,651 and $2,123,582. The
value of the product of West
Virginia also showed an increase
of $1,492,17S.
Four States, namely, Pennsyl
vania, West Virginia, Indiana
and Ohio produced "a per cent of
the value Of natural gas in 1903.
Of these States Indiana alone has
a decreased production in 1903
as compared with 1902
The volume of natural gas pro-
duced in 1903 amounted to 1885,
O67, 900 cubic feet at atmospheric
pressure and represented approx
imately 5,969,725 tons. If the
density should remain the same
throughout. this quantity would
fill a reservoir that was l.62
miles high and covered a square
mile of grounds, or it would fill
pipe that encircled the earth at
the equator and that had an in
ternal diameter of 40 feet. Its
heating value would equal that
of 1885, 53 tons of coal.
Natural gas was burned dur
ing 1903 by 627,047 domestic con-
sumers and 1922 manufacturers,
total of 634,269 persons, firms,
and corporations that were sup
piled with light, heat and power.
A careful estimate puts the num-
Der of individuals benefited at not
less than 100000.
A large amount of money was
expended in 1903 in building
mains for conveying natural gas,
in equipping new COMPRISING
stations, and in drilling gas
wells, mainly in Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania and Kansas.
It is interesting to note that
the United States produced 1913
per cent of the entire worlds
product of natural gas.
Mr.. Oliphant discusses the nat
ural gas industry by States. The
report also contains a variety OF
interesting facts relating to the
wide distribution Of natural gas
in the United States, its illumi-
mating properties and calorifc
value, the application and econ
omy of the natural gas engine,
and the number Of companies in
the various States and the value
of the gas consumed in each. A
record of well and pipe lines is
also added. The report, which is
published separately as an ex-
tract from the Surveys forth
coming publication, "Mineral
Resources of the United States,
1903" may be obtained, free of
charge, on paplication to the Di-
rector Of the United States Geo

Quite recently United States Senator
Tom Platt was seen shaking hands

man on Fifth avenue. Everybody knew

remarked a passerby, pointing to the
white haired man. No person remem-
bered that he was Chauncey Depew's
predecessor as United States senator
from this state.
It happened one evening that three
men were at the same theater In New
York. No one in the theater but the
manager knew who they were; no one
recognized them going into the theater
or coming out with the crowd. Yet
they were former mayors Of New York
Ely, Grant and Van Wyck, the latter
being only out Of office eighteen
