soon a number of barrels were filled
and Jenkins, who had a lot Of oil II
his cellar, could not sell it because

course, they began to quarrel, ant
soon became deadly enemies, much tc
the delight of the spectators. who
! now told each of them that IL hi
sunk wells on his place he would
probably tap the others well. And
after a while they were successful
Jenkins promised to sell his lots fol
the very reasonable price of $4,000,
Starbottle held out for more, but al
last he sold his farm, which was not
worth a cent more than $1,000, to the
spectators for $4,000.
II calkerlate you fellows did a
mighty smart piece of business when
you bought that farm" said the
sheriff, and those who had gathered
to celebrate the sale with a few cock
tails at the expense of the buyers
nodded their assent. And the specu-
lators themselves were jubilant, for
to-day the output was especially fine,
and the well yielded almost al much
oil as water.
That night the whole town slept as
soundly as eve before, for never in
its history had its inhabitants con-
sumed as much liquor in n day. for
Jenkins and S%tarbottle had been as
liberal with their money as had the
spectators.
When they gathered the next day
to discuss the bright future of the
community as an oil centre they
were surprised to find that Jenkins
and Starbottle had both disappeared
during the night and on the well was
a sign in chalk, "Sam's WELL"
At that time the two missing men
were seated in a barroom next to the
Office Of the steamship agent twenty
miles below on the river discussing
the division of their spoi1s.
"Well," said starbottle, 1--WE were
to 60 halves, and that makes just an
even $4,000 to each of u.s."
"There is where you are mis-
taken," said Jenkins "Am I to get
nothing for the $50 barrels of oil I
supplied"
But I supplied ali the water"
Starbottle replied.
The discussion was cut short by
Sammy.
"There goes the second BELL" he
said, "and if you don't stop your
quarreling, you will miss the beat
and will have to face the present
owners of Sans we'll"
The three rushed aboard the boat,
and while 1t glided down the river
the Inhabitants of the new oil
city were down in jenkins cellar

that place to Starbottle's oil WE'LL

How 1t Impressed a Young Lawyer of
Fifty-f1ye Years Ago.

Fifty-fiye Years Ago.
"The first time / saw Abraham Lin
coin was in 1852, just ffty-fve years
ago. said former Governor William
Pitt Kellogg, Of Louisiana, recently.
Il had just been admitted to the bar
and was in Springfield. the capital of
Illinois. I was young and perhaps
rather timid, and for that reason I re-
member particularly Mr.. Lincoln's
Kindness to me. He had large black
eyes that looked out on you from
deep sockets, and seemed to peer
down into your soul. Though his
cheeks were rather sunken and he
lad 4 hungry look, his face was
lighted witt Inspiration; you felt in
his presence that he was a man far
above the ordinarl.
Il sat there at the table that morn
ing in the court, and Mr.. Lincoln,
who was then known as one of the
greatest lawyers of Illinois, leaned
over and picked up q book just in
front of me. AS he did so, he bowed
In a kindly way, without saying a
word. To this day I have never for
gotten that bow and the expression
on his face. Four years later, in the
convention in which the Republican
party was born, I sat next to him as a
delegate. He represented Sangamon
County and made that great speech
in which he said, You can fool all
the people some of the time and some
of the people all the time, but you
cant fool all the people all the time
He had the. most winning way INSECT
ting votes I ever saw. Two years
later, in 1858, he was a candidate for
the United States Senate against
Douglas, and made speeches from the
same platform On which I spoke. I
was q candidate for the LEGISLATURE
on his ticket, and he advocated my
election. In 1860 I was a Presi-
Dental elector on the Lincoln ticket
in Illinois. Only this morning / re-
ceived a copy of a paper containing
the State ticket of that year. and
found that was the only man whose
name was ostthat ticket who is yet
alive: Those were wonderful DAYS.
and they produced wonderful men.
but Lincoln was the greatest of them
all. He was the greatest man that I

And CLEANS in all the bright sands MIN
icry. q.
Lo! his tired feet have followed overnight
Deaths beacon fire aglow in some far sky.
The fields Of gold; he knows not where
they lie,
Nor hears aloft the circling vultures
scream,
A golden vision dances in his eye
To spur his step and mingle with his
dream.
Blind to the way he stumbles on and on,
Babbling Of gold till night falls through
Then faint With awful WEAKNESS, and wan,
The vision dead-the yellow lust agone.
This frail earth-thing falls fainting with a
cry.
The lowering v~ultures circle near apace,
Fearing as yet the pallid upturned face.
While far away across the mesa-height
CLOVIS a dark cloud made beautiful with
light;
A flush of gold-yet silent in his place
Lies the dead dreamer open-eyed and
white.

Farming Without Horses.

Sully County claims to have the
most perfect example extant of a
horseless farm. The Grosecloses
'brotfers have a big tract of land
which they are ~cultivating entirely
without the aid of horses or other
animals. Their ploughing, narrowing,
seeding, harvesting and marketing is
all done with motor machinery. Ey.
cry trip to town is made in a motor
car. It is claimed that they were
able to put the prairie into better
shape with their heavy machinery
than could be done by horses With
several times the number of laborers
at present enployed.-Arlington cor.

through lovely and graceful shrubbery The country parlors are ornamented by libraries, by numerous magazines, by the best literature and political week. lies and by classic as well as modern novels and other books. Here in these sweet homes the occupants find time to read, to think over, to discuss the lit- erature, the politics and the social mats ters of the day, as well as the historic truths and wonderful events of the past.
 Many of these country homes have their grounds for croquet. for tennis. and for golf. The old and the young play.
 All of these things have served to completely revolutionise country life in many respects. What more can an in- telligent oountryman desire than the possession of good smooth roads, daily delivery of malls, the use of the tele- phone, of abundant use Of water and of the cheap lights of which we have made mention, together with the nus merous means of daily communication and association with nsighbors in the country and friends In the city7 fully believe that before many mora years shall elapse there will be cons tinued increase in the number Of citf- gems throughout Georgia and the South who will either buy suburban homes or build them to suit their own tastes, and that the longevity and the happi- ness of the people SC doing will be wonderfully increased. This is. in my Judgment a consummation most da- voutly to be wished.
