Dams Father Said He Never Would
Set the River on Fire.
Several years before the discovery Of
oil at PithOle an Irishman named Nc
Carthy and his son Dan came to this
country from the Emerald Isle. Dan
was a young man Of twenty, but his
father looked upon him as mere boy
and seemed to take delight in ridicul-
ing him before people.
.'Yis, Dan is a good by" he would
say sarcastically, "but, Danny, me by.
Yell niver set the river on fire."
This was his stock witticism, and it
annoyed Dan very much, but he did
his best and soon surprised the old
gentleman by securing lucrative job.
"Yis, Danny has job all right" he
said. cts $1.50 day. but the by II

When Oil was foE.,,-. i.hole, Dan
hurried to the Sec vas soon
earning unusually ks, lagos as a
teamster. All the petroleum was
drawn in barrels, and teams were in
great demand. He saved his money,
bought an acre Of land and soon had a
well drilled that was producing 100
barrels of oil per day at $40 per barrel.
The elder Mccarthy joined him, saw
the well, received a liberal gift Of mon
ey and then shook his head ominously.
"'Tis good thing, Danny" he croak-

JAILED FOR DEBT.
At One Time the Law Was Severe on
Those Who Owed Money.

Those Who Owed Money.
In nearly every country until COM
paratively recent times debtors have
beer subject to Imprisonment. After
the panic Of 1925 1O1, 900 writs for
debt were issued in England. In 1880
1000 persons were sent to London
prisons for debt, and on Jan. 1, 1910,
LOO persons were held for debt in
England and Wales, LOCO in Ireland
and less than 100 in Scotland. From
time to time notifications in the laws
governing the imprisonment of debtors
have been made, SO that fewer debtors
are imprisoned for this crime each
year.
In 1929 there were 5000 debtors in
prison in Massachusetts, 10000 in New
York, 1000 in Pennsylvania, 5000 in
Maryland and like proportion in 9th
er states. Many Of these persons were
jailed for debts of 81. The law pro-
viding for the Imprisonment Of men
who could not pay their debts was
shown to be impracticab1by statistics
taken from Philadelphia, Where in 1928
there were 1,OS5 debtors imprisoned for
debts amounting to $4,000. The ex-
pense Of keeping these persons in con-
fnement was 1862, 900, which was paid
by the city. and the amount recovered
by this method was 1926.
Imprisonment for debt was abolished
by congress in the United States in
1888, though this measure was not
fully enforced until 1839.-New York
Tribune.

The Bride Wins.

At Yarmouth, in st. Nicholas church,
one Of the most curious objects is
known as the Devils Chair. 1t is
formed out Of the huge jawbone Of a
whale and stands at the west end Of
the church. When fisher lasses get
married, they think it good for the
newly welded couple to race from the
chancel, and they believe that whoever
reaches the Devils Chair first will rule
the roost in the little household they
are about to set up.-London Graphic.
