We learn from our exchanges that the
oil territory in parts of Wyoming are
being investigated quite extensively by
a Denver company, who have lately pur.
chased large tracts of OF ground. They
have bored down to the depth of 500
feet near the town of Grey Bull, and
have struck gas and the expert antici-
pates striking oil at depth of $50 feet.
The indications for profitable oil wells
around Newcastle are reported to be just
as good, and we look to see a revival of
well boring in that vicinity in the near
future.

Laws would be needed, if all Cough
Cures were like DR.. Shoop's Cough Cure
is-and has been for 90 years. The Ma
tional Law now requires that if any poi
sons enter into cough mixture, it must
be printed on the label or package For
this reason mothers, and others, should
insist on having DR.. Shoop's Cough Cure.
No poison marks on DR.. Shoop's labels
and none in the medicine, else it must
by law be on the label And it's not
only safe, but it is said to be by those
that know it best, a truly remarkable
cough remedy. Take no chance, parti-
cularly with your children. Insist on
having DR.. Shoop's Cough Cure. Com
pare carefully the DR.. Shoop package

Speaking of Arington's Comedians the
Edgemont Express of March 22nd says:
"The Arlington Bittner combination
fetched the people of Edgemont last
week. The houses were record break
ers and everyone on the stage seemed to
be enthused by the audience and did
their utmost to please and they succeed
ed so well that the applause was constant
and loud. The company played "The
American Girl" the first night and scor.
ed success but it was the second night
that in "The Parish Priest" they carried
the audience with them and a success
was never more pronounced than it was
that night. The company was simply
great and the audience was with them
from start to finish. Rarely has a COM
pany come here and made the impress
sion that the company did that night.
The acting was perfect and it is earnest
ly hoped that our people can again have
the pleasure of seeing this combination
play here again"

The local paper, says an exchange,
should be found in every home. No
child should grow up ignorant who can
be taught to appreciate the home paper.
1t is said to be the stepping stone of
learning. Give your children a foreign
paper which contains not a word about
any person, place or thing which they
have ever seen or heard Of, and how
could you ever expect them to become
interested, But let them have home
paper, read of people whom they meet
and know, of places with which they
are familiar, and soon an interest is
awakened which increases with every
arrival of the local papers all their lives,
and they become intelligent men and
women, credit to their ancestors, and
strong in the knowledge of the world

American Wheelman Favored.

LONDON, July 31.-An agreement
has been entered into between the
Cyclists Touring club of England
and the l.. A. w. of America, which
will prove of great benefit to visit
ors from across the pond. American
riders who are league members, may
now enjoy in England all the privi-
leges of the British organization.
This means more than is apparent at
first glance. England has SO many
rural districts that are best appreci-
ated by wheelmen, that the bicycle
is extensively used by tourists who
stray from the beaten paths of the
general traveller. 1t is also true that
England's roads are we'll adapted for
bicycling. The country is small and
compact, and trolley lines are by no
means as common as they are in Am
erica.

BASE BALL
HAD KNOWN OF
DUTCH PETE BEFORE
Francis Klein Tells a Droll Story on
Dutch Pete Showing How Old
Timers Come Through.

AS everyone knows, Dutch Pete
looks the very picture of guileless in
nocence, and would naturally be a
to pick up Pete" TEX" Richard
and Fl. F. Porch took trip to New
York recently, and from their rounds
comes the following story, which Mr..
Klein vouches for:
Entering the Hotel Imperial one
evening a pair of bunco steerers
landed on Pete as a live one, and
one of them asked him to have a
cigar, the invitation was extending
to his friends.
Pete responded, and Mr.. Steer
asked for a few two-bit cigars. Steer
didn't appear to care for cigars of
this class and raped the board for
something larger, ordering a dollar
bug And, Petey was there with the
fine ideas and grabbed the cigars, Or
dering two-as he needed them.
On an invitation to see the sights,
Pete acquiesced, but before leaving,
walked over to TEX" and, handing
him his money, said: Il am going
to have a hell of time wit desc
thieves, and won't need no money
nohow!"
They wound up in faro bank on
Fifth avenue, and the dealer, on get
ting the tip from the steer, sized
Pete up closely, and thusly came
through:
And so you brought this guy in
here for me to skin? Well, II you
did, take him out again! And, after
that, go and take few large, juicy
lessons of dope, so that hereafter
you can size a man up.
Il knew and worked with Dutch
Pete forty years ago, and If its up
to us to dip him-well, there amt
going to be any dip, and | don't
know the game"
Pete only winked one eye, but
said, with his usual grin. Il will buy
one," and the incident closed.
But there were two very blue
steers after the ball-out from the
old-timer, and one of them remarked
with a sour face:
We'll, / guess it's all right, and
one on me. But you western guys,
with the smile that is childlike and
bland had better keep off my beat
after this. And, besides, you look
like easy money. But, as | say, it's
one on me, and we might as well
grab it"
And Pete winked the other eye.

BUTCH" OF ASSOCIATED
PRESS, GETS HIS
Mrs. Butch Tries to Land Him,
But Nothing Doing With
"The Butcher"

The following from the Salt Lake
Herald is too good to keep, and all
who know Butch" will appreciate
the story:
A messenger boy with figure 2
on his hat strolled into the Office of
the Associated Press.
where's Mr.. Butcher?" he in
quired, with the impudent assurance
of the well-bred messenger.
1t happens that one of the operat-
ors is known as Butch" Laughlin,
and the unwonted use of the appello-
ton Mister by a messenger was con
strued as mild bit of sarcasm. Ac-
cordingly Butch" was pointed out to
the wingless Mercury.
The wingless one, in a stage whis-
per, delivered himself of the follow
ing:
Say, old man, your wife is wait
ing for you at No. 50 1-2 West First
South"
Better go over there right away"
he added, seeing that Butch" looked
puzzled and hesitated.
And waiting time for anything
that might turn up, from an answer
to a tip, No. shuffled out.
Butch" smoked a couple of pipes
and decided he'd better look into the
matter He hadn't the least idea IN
the world that Mrs. Butch" was at
the address given, but still
Here the scene shifts to No 50 IL
West First South. Butch grew a
bit uneasy when he noticed the char
acter of. his surroundings at the first
landing.
He was shown into a dimly light
ed room where woman waited with
two children.
This is worse than I though"
muttered Butch to himself, he
hadn't counted on any children.
The lady drew him gently to a
window and light broke in.
You are not my husband" she
exclaimed. Get out of here"
'Scuse me-" said Butch" as he
departed meekly wondering what it
was all about.
1t developed later that Mrs.
Butcher and her two children had
arrived in town from Newhouse ey-
pecting to find her husband, who was
to be there to meet her. BY some
mistake Mrs. Butcher gave Mr..
Butcher the wrong address of the
meeting place, and when she arrived
here he could not be found. While
she was telephoning and trying in
all possible ways to locate him, he
was endeavoring to find her. All day
long the search kept up and at the
close of the day with the help of
friend they happened to and
each other. During her quest Mrs.
Butcher was informed that "Mr.
Butcher" was employed at the AS
ISOLATED Press Office there. Hence the
mistake.
