BURLESON OIL WELLS.

The drill is going down again at
Mound Prairie, and this time will
probably bring results. This field
has been carefully watched by ex-
pert oil men, and the first we'll was
carefully tested and the chances
are that the second will prove a
paying proposition. and mean some
thing to the county. Oil compan-
les with a limited amount of capt.
tai are not in the habit OF sinking
a second we'll when the first has
proven a "duster. and the fact
that the second well is going down
proves conclusively that there is
something there worth while.
Work has been resumed on the
new Sebesta oil well having been dis
continued for the past week on ac-
count of the necessity Of getting
another boiler TO supply water for
drilling purposes. The well that
is now being drilled is only few
feet from the old well. \ depth of
about 500 feet has been reached at
present, but prospects are not so
flattering as they were in the first
well. as it was claimed then that
oil was found all the way from the
grass roots down to the bottom of
the well. but somehow not a suffi-
cient quantity of il was ever brought
10 the top of the ground. -Cald-
well News-Chronicle.

Has Record of Bad Luck.

J, NJ. Scanlan, a we'll known writer
Df San Francisco, poses as the most
unlucky man on the Pacific coast. He
has established 13 dailies and week
lies in California that have failed. He
says that every check he receives
either is unsigned or undated. The
one lucky event of his life occurred
while he was private in the confed-
crate army. While kneeling behind a
low earthwork a cannon ball struck
the top of the embankment, covering
him with dirt and debris. IF had
been an upright young man l would
have been killed." he reported, salut-
ing his superior officer. Friday he re-
CARDS with much suspicion.

Have Riaht to Use Scent.

The proprietor of big Berlin shop
lately dismissed one of the girls on
the ground that she scented herself so
violently that she drove away custom
from the shop. The girl thereupon
brought an action against her en-
ployer and the magistrates decided
that girls serving in shops were al
lowed to scent themselves, provided
always that the scent did not affect
the olfactory nerves of those near
them and did no harm to trade. More.
over, the master of the shop was fined
5s as damages.

Color Blindness.

Color blindness has probably exist
ed ever since the time of Adam, but
it has been recognized for only 100
years. Those who are color blind
sometimes discover the fact through
ludicrous blunders. The first to de.
scribe his own case lin 1774) was the
Quaker Dalton, a prominent chemist
in England. Attending a meeting of
the Society Of Friends arrayed in
scarlet hose he nearly received ex-
communication for his rankly Of
fensive affront, and made matters
worse when he denied the charge.
He was red blind. When he received
from Oxford the Investment of the
scarlet gown" he was able to appre,
ciate the honor but not the gown.
1t looked like the trees" to him.
He came near having his name given
to color blindness; but he did not
quite measure up to the standard re-
quired, as he was blind only in one
color.-Century.

IN TIME OF DANGER.
Ways in Which People Con-
duct Themselves.

What has most struck me in my
many experiences Of shipwrecks has
been the strangely diverse ways in
which the passengers acquit them
selves under intense excitement and
panic, said a lifeboatman.
Women cry, faint, and cling to each
other, but are least trouble. Men
often act very strangely; l remember
one man throwing into the lifeboat
heavy trunk which he wanted to
save, but which we promptly heaved
overheard.
Some men become quite panic
stricken. I've seen strong men, prob
ably brave enough in other cases,
fighting fiercely for the lifebuoys, and
thrusting the women and children
aside in frantic endeavor to leap into
the boat first; yet, strangely enough,
one man who thus disgraced himself
has since obtained the Royal Humane
society's medal in England, for saw
ing life at sea, thrice volunteering
with a scratch crew in aid of a dis
tressed vessel.
I've known others who became so
stupefied with fright as to resist all
attempts at rescuing them, begging
to be left to die. and having to be
forcibly thrown into the lifeboat.
Some persons frequently become half
demented, and I've known several
cases where they have in a frenzy
committed suicide by positively jump
ing headlong into the sea and drown
ing themselves, and one man, to in
sure his sinking, filled his pockets
with coal.
Some years ago another passenger,
hearing the ship had struck, went
and drowned himself in the bathroom,
anticipating his fate, as it were
l remember another case where a
passenger hanged himself in his cabin
just as the lifeboat arrived.

THE DIFFERENCE IN TASTE.
Dogs PrIzed as Edible in China Arc
Here Fashions Pets.

"He is the real thing in the way Of
q chow" said she. Father bought
him for me in Shanghai. Did you know
they ate them there?"
Il had heard that the Chinese ate
dogs, but thought it was a fake, like
the story of their eating rats"
mo; it is the truth. They do eat
dogs, but only the chow variety.
Chow you know, means edible
Yes, they eat elbows. In every butcher
shop you see chows' carcasses hung
up, the same as we hang up the car
casses of pigs. The flesh is white"
Winter"
yes; like veal The Chinese raise
elbows for food and feed them only
soft, washy stuff, mashed vegetables
and bread and milk. No meat what
ever. Hence the white flesh.
Notice Wu's black tongue. Well,
chow tongue is Chinese delicacy.
They make soup of it. But it is very
expensive, like our turtle soup, and it
is only eaten by the rich.
Isn't it strange that dog so fash
ionable with us should be only an arti-
Gle of food in China?"

(Mrs. Robley D. Evans, wife of Admiral
Bob Evans, and sister of Admiral Tay-
1or, took an important part in the work of
relieving the sufferings of sick and wound
ed soldiers and sailors during the Spanish
American war. She found able assistants
in her work in her two daughters, who
placed themselves under the tuition of a
trained nurse so that they might work
with skill and knowledge among the
stricken men)
A great man found the work of the
women of the United States in the
civil war worthy of commemoration
in one of his great speeches, and al
though no one has as yet paid a like
tribute to the work of our women dur
ing the Spanish war it is not less wor-
thy of some record.
The difference between the work Of
the four years from 1861 to 1855 and
that of the four months from April to
August, 1898, was a difference of
quantity, not of kind. The spirit which
prompted and sustained it was of the
same high quality.
But whatever the questioning the
action did not fail. Women with heart
strings torn asunder by those part
ings, such as wiring the life from our
hearts went Loyalty to work
Hospital stores OF all kinds, food,
medicines, clothing were issued to
every point where they would be re-
ceived and any request for such aid
was granted as soon as made.
One instance WI! illustrate the in
variable method pursued by them
1t came to my knowledge that the
Manitoba, hospital ship, was to sail
from Newport News for West Indi-
an port to bring home sick and wound
led men. At the same time l was told
that the ship was nearly unfurnished
with medicines and hospital stores.
! The brigade surgeon, DR.. Birmingham,
at my request made out list of the
most important things and this was
telegraphed to the secretary of the
Colonial Danes at Washington, D. c.,
one morning at nine o'clock. At three
o'clock on the afternoon of the same
day the stores and medicines were
shipped. They reached Newport News
the following morning and day later
the Manitoba had sailed with full
supply Of hospital necessaries," as
the brigade surgeon telegraphed The
women did that important piece of
work in six hours.
Those who will look into the mat
ter will find the promptness and eff
cheney of the civil war work very
worthily continued in the Spanish
war
Those who may think that the wo-
men were undertaking to do work
that should have been left to the war

To the Editor.
Dear Sir,
I came to this country from the
State Of Wisconsin three years ago,
and must say that am greatly pleased
with the outlook in this western coun-
try. For my own part I am entirely
satisfied with the progress 1 have
made since coming here. have raised
excellent crops of grain Of all varie-
ties. Last season my wheat averaged
20 bushels of wheat to the acre, oats
60 and barley 40.
We had splendid garden this year,
ripening successfully tomatoes, musk
melons, water melons, sweet corn and
kindred sorts.
The country is we'll adapted to
wheat growing and mixed farming, and
to my mind it is the best country un-
der the sun for a man with family
and small means, as it is possible for
a man to commence farming opera.
tions with much less capital than is
required in the older settled countries.
The climate is all that could be de-
sired, being very healthy and invigor-
ating.
My wife came out about six months
ago, and although inclined to be deli
cate in the old home, she has enjoyed
the best of health since coming here.
In short, I am more than satisfied
with the land of my adoption, and
am also satisfied with the laws Of the
country.
