AnSe.la.Butte Oil Field.

DR.. F. r. Martin is an interview
with The New Iberia Daily Lead
er said:
There are now being drilled in
the latter field six new wells. and
probably four more will be in
course of construction in less than
sixty days. Late developments in
the Anse la Butte field, according
to DIR. Martin, have been of such
character as to lend much ell
enlargement to operators interest
ed there. and it is generally be-
lieved that with a little more Wild
eating the main oil strata will be
discovered at Anse la Butte will
be proven to be as great produc-
er as Jennings, Sour Lake, Bat
son, or any of Texas fields.
Said DR.. Martin, New Workers
of unlimited capital have just Wis.,
tied this field and 1 cannot. begin
to tell you how elated they are
over the prospects of future de-
velopments. A company has been
organized for the purpose of de-
veloping certain sections of the oil
field heretofore never touched, and
it is through the operations of this
new company that we expect to
make such discoveries as will
prove our theory concerning the
great strata of oil, which we be-
lieve to be underlying this field.
One thing is certain, whether this
strata is discovered or not, past
experiments and operations have
demonstrated the fact that oil in
paying quantities exists at the
field, investors can be assured of
redeelning any amount they sink
here"

A friend passing by inquired whether
they would grow if planted. l told
him it was doubtful. but l would
prune them if he would set them as an
experiment. He agreed, so | sawed
the tops off to about Is inches and the
lateral as well as deep roots to about
four inches. leaving the few tibrOus

about one inch and the vertical root
or roots, if the tree is several years
old, to three or four inches and the top
to about a foot after planting. Such

pruning "shOuId never be employed

eight inches scion and two or three
inches of clean root will make a fine

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.

...Jrrst the art of being kind is what
this sad world needs. 1t is not in man
that walketh to direct his steps,
As the birds come in the spring,
We know not from where;
AS the stars come at evening
From the depth of the air:
SO come to the Poet his songs,
All hitherward blown
From the misty realm. that belongs
To the vast Unknown.
His. and not his are the lays
He sings; and their fame
Is his. and not his; and the praise
And the pride of a name.
For voices pursue him by day,
And haunt him by night,
And he listens and needs must obey,
When the Angel says, 'Write!
Since we cannot direct our steps, let
us say with Paul to his Timothy:
Find your bearings that you may

Raisuli as a Horse Trainer.


possess over horses and other animals
is shown in an article from Farm and
Ranch:
All readers will remember the eX-
citement created a year or two ago
by the capture of Ion Perdicaris and
Cromwell Varley at the summer home
of the former near Tangier. Morocco.
and the prompt action of our govern
ment in sending L. s. ships to Tan
gier to exert pressure on the govern
ment of Morocco to force the release
of these prisoners. The capture was
made by one Raisuli. who was up
i'm arms against the government of
Perdicaris and Varley simply to hold
them as hostages and thus force the
government of Morocco to pay a large
sum for their release; also to force
the government to guarantee certain
reforms.
The incident is recalled by an ad
dress delivered by Mr. Perdicarfs in
National Geographic Magazine. in
which he related the story of his
capture and release and in which he
threw some light on the character of
RaiSuli.
To illustrate Rhisuli's ability as
horse trainer he relates the following
Of
ter the capture:
''As Raisuli rode up I recognized
as one had lately purchased for my
wife This horse had been admira-
bly, broken to the saddle, but so soon
as he was left to his own devices he
became a terror to the groom.
What then, was my surprise to
see the horse kneel in order that
Raisuli might dismOunt, and, after the
latter had thrown the bride careless
ly over the horses neck, the animal
STOOD never offering to move as Raj
suli advanced toward me-"
After negotiations We're completed
for the release of the prisoners and
they were on their way to the half
way village at which the ransom mon
ey was to be paid, the following, in
words of Mr.. Perdicaris, occurred:
Il rode the black horse which Raj
suli had ridden on our way from Tan
gier, and as we climbed again, but
in how different a mood, those rocky
sleeps, | told the latter of my sur
prise at the horses behavior. A smile
plyed upon the chieftian's lips as he
answered, ''Oh! that is easily explain
ed, Did you not know that before you
purchased that horse it belonged to
me?
Il did not, nor" | added, do
seem to have known much of your
affairs as you evidently knew of mine!

tirely explain the very different be-
haviOr of the horse. | could under
