WILD TALES OF TEXAS,
The Great Lone Star State is the Place
TO Make Money on Small Capital
Many Weird Tales Told.

Wild and weird have been the
tales of life in the Texas wilds
told during the last week by Anton
Petroske, II years old, to the boys
of the Junior Business Club In
West Adams street. The series of
narratives ended when in the
Juvenile court YESTERDAY, Judge
McWilliams was told the lad had
been given a chance to work and
bucked.''
Petroske came to Chicago on a
freight train, bringing his stories
of life on the frontier with him.
Arrested, he said he was willing
to work. He declared he believed
life in Chicago would suit him,
although he never had been in a
LARGER town than Dallas before.
Judge Holdom gave Petroske a
chance to earn his living. He sent
him to the boys club and situa-
ton was secured for him. The
lad worked two DAYS. Then he
was discharged, and in the two
DAYS succeeding is said to have
started the organization of a youths
brigade for a descent on Texas with
a view to commercial triumphs.
ANY man with 500 can make
more money in Texas in ten years
than he can in Chicago with
SO, 900, O0O," said Petroske to his
audience of boys in opening his
discourse in praise of Texas.
You've got a chance to make
money there. There's no chance
in Chicago.
Petroske told strange tales OF
the animals in the great Southwest.
His hearers were impressed with
the way he told of life on ranch,
why, we used to milk Texas
cows morning, noon. and night, y

A certain gentleman had for .

came, still no gardener, and the
gentleman, thinking he had left, en-
gagged anothee one to take his place.

find his old gardener back again
quietly doing his work as before.

WILT CHANGE GULF sTREAM2
Theory That subsistence Of Isthmus Would
Defect Warm Current.

Is the Gulf Stream a NTH? Its
existence has been challenged since
a meeting of the Royal Geographic
al Society in 1869 at least. Though
the Gulf Stream was noticed by
Sir Humphrey Gilbert in the Six
teenth Century, England is indebt-
ed to DR.. Franklin and a Nantucket
whaling captain for the first chart
of its course.
But who taught the uuscientifc
Nantucket whaler so correct a
course of this mighty current? 1t
was the whales which he hunted.
The right whale (Balaena mys-
ticetus) never enters the warm wa
ter of the Gulf Stream, for it, as
well as the warm waters OF the
Torrid Zone, is as a wall of fire to
these creatures.
We warm some of our buildings
by means of hot water. Now the
northwestern parts of Europe are
warmed in an exactly similar man
ner by the Gulf Stream. The Tor
rid Zone is the furnace; the Carib-
bean Sea and Gulf of Mexico the
boilers; the Gulf Stream the con-
Quoting pipe; from the Banks of
Newfoundland to the shores of Eu-
rope is the great hot air chamber,
spread out so as to present a large
surface. Such is the influence of
the Gulf Stream upon Great Bri-
tain's climate that Ireland is cloth
ed in evergreen grass, while in the
very same latitude, on the Aineri-
can side of the Atlantic, is the
frost bound coast of Labrador.
The Gulf Stream obviously de-
ponds on the Gulf of Mexico con-
tinuing to be gulf, which, how
ever, it might easily cease to be. A
subsistence of the Isthmus of Pana-
ma to the extent of a couple of
hundred feet-and such subsidences
have taken place in geological times
all over the world-would permit
the equatorial current of the At
lantic to pass through into the Pa
cihc instead of being DETECTED back
to the coasts of England.
If too big hole is dug in max
ing the canal Britain would then
become Labrador, and cease to
be the seat of numerous and pow
erful tea-drinking people.
What are you going to have?-

KEEP THE BOYS AND GIRLS ON
THE FARM.

Wallace's Farmer: We have called
attention from time to time during
the last year or two to the efforts be
ing made by the superintendent Of
instruction in Winnebago county, Illi-
nois, and in Keokuk and Iowa coun
ties, Iowa, to interest the boys and
girls on the farm in rural affairs. We
are glad to see from an issue of the
Oskaloosa Herald that the farmers OF
Mahaska county r following the
example of their neighbors on the
east. We presume We snail have the
Proud Mahaskas" as well as the
"Keokuks" and "Winnebagos" in the
near future. Attempt will be made
to enlist every teacher in the county
in the effort to encourage the boys to
grow certain farm products of their
own, and the girls to make certain
household necessities, for exhibition
in a school contest and in competi-
ton with the county school fair.
We have not space to enter fully
once more into this method, but are
glad the Herald has taken the lead In
advocating this organization. If we
can get the county papers and the
county superintendent interested in
developing agriculture on the farms
the progress of the agriculture Of the
state is assured beyond doubt. The
hope of agriculture in the future lies
in the boys and girls who are now
going to school. If we can but get
them to open their eyes and see what
nature is doing around them all sum
mer long in the formation of leaf,

riculture in the future is assured
beyond question mo matter what polit

we to keep our boys and girls on the

DEATH oE AN OLD FRIEND.

The passing of the Oskalocsa
Times-Journal closes the life of a
historic publication and adds another
mound to the local newspaper grave
yard. 1t is the tw%enty-first contempt
rary to come and go since the Herald
was started in July, 1850.
The Times was originally started
in 1854 by Cameron & Ingersoll. In
1865 the Office was destroyed by I'm
ion soldiers who became incenseo at
sighting remarks made in the col
umns of the paper.
In 1885 it was brought to life again
with NJ. G.Carlton as editor and ". T.
Smith as business manager. After
several changes of ownership, the
late James Sewers purchased the
plant and successfully conducted the
paper until his death in 1886.
In September of the same year it
was consolidated with the Oskaloosa
News and a daily edition was started.
This venture proved a failure and the
paper was suspended in March, 1897.
Six weeks later Richard Burke
came from What Cheer and revived
the paper, and about four years ago
the Times was consolidated with the
Journal under the name of the Times.

recognized as one of the leading dem

many staunch supporters and warm

matter of regret and its passing
gives one a feeling of sorrow akin
to that felt at the grave of a friend.

FRIDAY MORNINGS FIRE.

The fire Friday morning, causing
the loss Of $150,000, was one of the
most destructive in the history of
Oskaloosa. Severe as it was, the
city is fortunate in that it was no
worse, as for hours the fire fiend
carried on a successful battle
against the brave fire fighters and
stood with mouth open ready to
gulp down an entire block Of the
biggest business houses in the city.
But heroic work conquered the de-
mon and the flames were confined to
the Buildings in which they started.
For this the department is to be
thanked. Many of the buys stood
In a regular hell of heat to keep the
water playing on the flames, while
others, exposed to the bitter cold,
were masses of ice and chilled to the
marrow. A minutes respite in the
fight and all might have been lost.
There is nothing like sorrow or
calamity to cement the bonds OF
friendship and prove the metal OF
which neighbors are made. The
loss is heavy on the few but it is
felt in a sympathetic way by all;
and Oskaloosa-ever generous and
responsive-awaits the opportunity
to help them again in a fresh start
on the road to success.
And we are assured that the heavy
sufferers in the conflagration, with
the characteristic enterprise that
has made their big interests pos,
sible, will rise from the ashes and
build again greater and stronger for
the future. Voicing the sentiment
of every man, woman and child in
Mahaska county, the Herald extends
