THE SEVEN AGES.

A little laugh,
A little fun;
A blossom bordered
Way to run.
A getting tall.
And serious, too;
And then the school
To labor through.
Then blossom bordered
Ways of love
Just two on earth
And stars above.
Then to the altar,
Then away
To homely cares
OF every day.
Then joys untold,
Then new delight
A baby crying
In the night.
Then something more
Than parents glee-
A grandchild
Climbing on your knee.
And then to sleep;
Green sod above,
But life's worth living,
For the love. :
From the Houston Post.

SOLITUDE relieves us when we are
sick of company and conversation,
when we are weary of being alone,
so that the one cures the other. There
is no man so miserable as he that is
at loss to use his time.

tracts and Bonds.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Under the
authority of the secretary of the in
terror the director of the geological
survey today ordered the confiscation
of the whole of the contractors out
tit for work on the Corbett tunnel
on the irrigation project in northern
Wyoming. 1t was ascertained by the
secretary that the contractor not only
abandoned the work, but was about
to remove all his appliances from the
premises. This contract was awarded
to Charles Speer, the cashier of the
Billings State bank. He in turn made
arrangements for carrying on the
work under the Western Construc-
ton company
The difficulties of securing labor
and the high cost Of material resulted
in such delays to the work that 1t APP
parently became impossible to finance
the operations and on August 8 the
company was unable to pay the 400 or
more men then employed. The bids
on the Corbett tunnel were opened
September 9Th. 1905, and awarded to
Charles Speer on an estimated basis
of $594,345. The next lowest bid was
made by ]. G. White & Co., of New
York, at s595,75O. ...-
The government officers also took
possession OF the work and outfit of
Prendegast & Clarkson on the Sho-
shone dam, one of the largest struc-
lures in the west, on the ground that
the firm had not been able to secure
the necessary men and the financial
backing to carry through the work.
The bids for this work were opened
September 5, 1905, and were awarded
on an estimated basis of s515,715.
The next lowest bid was that of ]. G.
White & Company of New York at

EQUIVALENT FOR CoRDwOoD.
Interesting Problems Worked Out for
Army Officers.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 14.-Under
the new army appropriation act,
which went into effect on July /,
army officers are able to purchase
fuel oil and gas under the allowance
for fuel. They have been permitted
for years to purchase certain kinds
of fuel, principally wood and coal, at
the rate of SO cord for standard oak
wood. 1t was necessary to establish
an equivalent rate for spruce, pine and
different kinds of coal. The new army
act removed certain restrictions which
existed and admitted as ruel oil and
gas.
The experts who were engaged to
determine what Is the equivalent in
each case decided that 12O gallons of
oil or 1900 feet Of gas may be re-
garded as a fair equivalent of one
cord of standard oak wood.

The Richmond ministers at their Monday morn

ganization for Christian work in all the churches
and throughout the city, under the authorized
Presbyteral Sessional direction.
Richmond-First.-At the First PRESBYTERIAN
Church an unusually large congregation was pres
ent Sunday morning and it remarked by
a member of another denomination what a large
body of communicates were received into the
church. The report of the treasurer will show
that from financial point of view as from other
points of view, the change from rented pews to
free pew system has proved eminentIy successful
The church had the pleasure of having Dr. r. p
Kerr preach Wednesday and a large congregation
was present Dr. Kerr's church will build a new
manse to cost not $4,000.
Richmond-Brook Avenue-A very successful
revival service has been carried during the past
week at a chapel on Brook Avenue. a mission Of
the Grace Street Presbyterian Church The Rev
G. H. Pratt of the Hoge Memorial Presbyterian
Church, did the preaching and was assisted i'm the
meetings by several of the seminary students
There were eleven professions of faith as result
of these services. Notwithstanding the fact that
it raned all the week and there are no side walks
in that section of the city, much interest was
shown and Gods people were much benefited.

cial obligations fully met, including apportFon-

Petroleum Production.

The production and consumption of petroleum is simply marvellous. In 1904 five billion gallons were pro- duced, more than one-half of the worlds production. Russia comes next to the United States as a producer, followed in order by Austria, Java and Sumatra, Roumania, British India, Canada and Germany.
 The production of this country Ill 1905 will exceed five billion gallons. because or producers have endeavored to make good the stoppage of Russian plants In the Baku district by the Russian revolutionaries. Production in this country has been doubled in ten years, and 1t is increased year by year. As fast as one field is pumped dry another is discovered in this broad country, and the pumping goes steadily on. No one considers the future. No one asks where and what will be the end of the immense pro duction. Everybody proposes to let the morrow and posterity take care of themselves.
 Strangest of all, our vast and rap idly increasing petroleum production goes largely into the hands of one company, and no other company, no state, not even the federal govern ment, can break the monopoly of that company. It is the completest and most astonishing monopoly of a great product that this country has ever known. There seems to be but one way to destroy that monopoly, and that way consists in pumping us speedily as possible all the petroleum out of American soil. We are doing our best to end the monopoly on that line.

immigration Distribution.

The immigration question was taken up on Tuesday by the National Civic federation, now in session in New York It was shown that 1,026,491 immigrants arrived in this country in the last fiscal year, and that New York, Pennsylvania. Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey and Ohio ab- sorbed more than three-fourths of the whole number Not one of the six states desires more immigrants. All six of them would be glad to be re- lieved of more of them for at least a while. All six would like a breathing or assimilation spell, but because the immigrants are dumped in New York, their desire for relief cannot be granted.
 The south, eager for more white workers, got in the fiscal year but 4..343 of the million of new arrivals.
