SHOWED PRESENCE or MIND.
Merry Act of Well DriIlers Averted
Fearful Disaster.

Two oil well drillers, Earl Sheets
and Frank Winks, near Carl Junction,
underwent an experience last week
that would make a feature" for life
and death melodrama, says the Kan
sas City Star. The two men were su.
perintending the shooting Of well.
Three hundred quarts of nitroglycerin
had been brought to the well to be
used in the shot
A shell" containing 80 quarts had
been lowered, but it stuck in the we'll
The operators thought they could
shove the can on down in the well by
letting the baler down in the well on
top of r. The plan appeared to have
WORKED all right, and the baler was
drawn up out Of the well, and part
way up toward the top of the derrick
before the Mortified spectators noticed
that the can of deadly explosive had
caught in the baler and was then
dangling in the air, ready TO fall
Just as Sheets and Winks looked up,
the shell came loose and started to-
ward the ground. Realizing that il it
ever hit the ground these 30 quarts OF
nitro would explode and kill everyone
in the vicinity, the two men with pres
ence Of mind, ran under 1t and caught
1t in their hands. If they had failed
in this, not one of the spectators
would have lived to tell the story.

THE STORY.

ny DINT of coaxing and petting Or
ID pha's friends had at last persuaded
her to accompany them to the festiv-
tiles in the village close at hand,
where for weeks the preparations had
been going On for the honoring of the
gods of the Moabites. and she was
busy getting ready for the start in
the early morning. 1t seemed strange
to them to have to coax Orpha to go,
for in former years she had been one
of the gayest at such celebrations, and
they had expected, now that the in
fiuence of her mother-in-law, Naomi,
was no longer present, that she would
enter again heartily into the life and
customs of her people.
On her return to her old home, after
the departure of Ruth and Naomi her
parents and friends had welcomed her
right royalty, secretly rejoicing that
she was no longer to be dominated by
the Israelitish woman who had come
into their midst years before and who
had firmly and steadfastly refused to
share in their idolatrous feasts and
practices, and the feelings of jealousy
and resentment which were felt at
the time of her marriage to the prom
Using young Hebrew, Chilion, were for
gotten in the realization that she was
once more one of them.
But to Orpha something in the old
life was lacking. She could not ex-
plain why. She did not understand,
except that in the old home and with
the old friends there was something
lacking, and sense of disappointment
came to her. She tried to forget it,
end enter into the activities of the
home circle and friends with the old
time pleasure and viyacity, but she
could not forget the quiet, helpful, up
lifting influence of Naomi Uncon-
sciously she was constantly drawing
comparisons between the life she had
known after becoming the wife of Chill
ion. and the life her people lived.
When the time drew near for the fes-
tivities attending the worship Of their
gods she had felt the old thrill of ex-
peetant pleasure which she used to
know as she had planned and prepared
to share in the celebrations. But
this feeling soon passed and left her
with that sense of unrest and dissatis-

In the Sunshine.

o sunny ray! o sunny ray!
That deep within my heart doth stray,
In golden pillows from above,
Flooding my soul with dreams of Lowell
The sunshine lures me from my home,
In budding woodlands far to roam;
And there 1 met, in bowers green,
The fairest maidens ever seen.
o sunshine! do you then suppose,
That you kiss each budding rose,
I am to WOO each smiling maid
meet beneath the leafy shade?
Full many year has passed and gone
Since first On earth the sunshine shone;
Thou oughtst to know it cannot be

Ducks Prev on Swallows,

This curious story of ducks and
swallows is related by correspond
emit: AS he was passing farmyard
he saw the ducks catching and eating
swallows. One duck was swimming
in the pond and caught a swallow
skimming above the water. With con-
siderable struggling and holding the
swallow under water the duck ats
the bird. Another duck that waz on
soft mud also caught swallow and
eventually ate it, but only after a
longer struggle, as it could not hold
the swallow under water.
