Gusher at Ahse-La- Butte.

Yesterday a week ago. Mr.. Scott
Haywood brought in au intermit-
tent gusher at Anse-La- Butte, with
a capacity of $50 barrels per day.
This is by far the most copious
flow of oil ever obtained in the
field, the other three wells being
pumpets producing some 40 to 81
barrels per day. Other wells are
being stink by the Heywoods, who
seem to have an abiding con6dance
in the field, and hope yet to bring
in a full Aedged gusHer of regnla-
tiou type. Large sums of money
have been spent in attempts to de-
velop Arse- La Butte and it is te
be hoped that substantial returns

Not to be Outdone.

An old English gentleman. a school
teacher, who resided in one OF the small
towns of Ohio, was an agreeable teller OF
stories, but deemed il beyond his reputa-
ton as a raconteur to tell one that did
not surpass any that had preceded it.
A farmer having come to the village
remarked in the presence Of his friends
that he had been ploughing all the week
with four horses, breaking up new
ground, and dwelt upon it as beng a
very big thing
"Pshaw!" said the old Englishman,
that's nothing. ! have seen in England
fifty yoke of oxen hitched to one
plough
The remark seemed to occasion gen
cral surprise.
And continued he. the funniest part
OF the whole thing was that while the
plough was on the top OF the hill the lead
ing yoke OF oxen was on the top of another
hill. and the forty-nine between the plough
and the leaders were suspended between
the two hills And there was another
matter connected with 1t rather strange,
In the course OF the day the ploughman,
becoming rather careless about driving
his team, ran into and split big oak
stump The plough passed safely
through the split, but before the plough
man got entirely through it closed UP
and caught him by the eoat-tail.'
Did it tear his coat" asked person
OF lnquiring turn.
Not bit OF it, replied our veracious
narrator, he hung on TO the plough ham

Simplicity is the keynote; but-sim-

good lines, simplicity will surely spell

that can be depended upon to give the

- E4rppc z. this time really rlaehc-
back % the days when sudden illness put
q stop 10 all preparations fo- an elabo-
rate coronation OF King Edward When
Nhitelaw Reid ~as named as America :
representative At this ceremony, his
laughter, Miss Jean Red. a school days
-ium OF Miss Alice Roosevelt. asked the
latter to be her guest during the corona
ton festivities Miss Alice was very
much for accepting the invitation, but
her father decreed otherwise.
Later on, when Mr.. Roosevelt was
elected to the Presidency, he appointed
Alr Reid Ambassador to the Court Of
ST. James. Then Miss Reid wrote an
other informal invitation TO her friend
Miss Roosevelt, this time asking the lat
ter to spend The gay season with her in
the British capital.
That was early last year, but not until
JUST before the opening Of the present
London season were the Reids, what with
renting suitable residence and fitting

Try should. Thus it came about that
the Longworths' trip to Europe was
taken partly 10 satisfy Mrs Longworths
strong desire to see her girlhood chum
and to finish out honeymoon trip that
was necessarily interrupted a week or
two after the wedding by the pressing
Congressional duties of the happy hus
band
Mrs. Longworth's experiences in Eu-
rope have been extraordinarily varied
and interesting for an American, but it
is doubtful whether any incident of the
trip has been half so amusing as one
in which she figured while with the Taft
party in Japan. 1t has come to light
through an American recently from To-
k.o. Let him tell the story in his own
way:
1t was on the night that the Secre-
tary and the Presidents daughter left
Toxic for Kobe by special train, after
having had remarkable farewell dem
onstration at Shimbashi station At two
clock in the morning their train
stopped at Shidzuok, little town under
the shoulder of Mount luJi Fully 500
japanese, with lanterns and a brass band,
were at the station. They woke up the
distinguished passengers and clamored
so Justify that Mr.. Taft and Miss Roose
welt had to appear on the rear platform,
wearing the gaudy kmonos that had
been presented to them in Toxic. Then
the Mayor OF Shidzuok, in behalf OF the
town, presented the Secretary Of War
with a bamboo bird cage, cunningly
wrought To Miss Roosevelt he gave
block in which had been frozen bunch
of rosebuds.'
By the way, what Of Mr. Nicholas
Long worth abroad1 Truth to tell, what
we know is soon put down: He looked
bored when ushered into the royal car
riage at Plymouth; he wore knee
breeches when presented to King Ed
Nard he was also present at Anbassa-
dor Reds dinner; he Jared it at the
English country houses. You see, even
though he is the husband of the Presi
dent, daughter, he is, nevertheless, just
a mere Man!
