The Commercial Club, founded a
month or two ago, organized and
elected officers in the Directors
Room of the Capital National Bank.
Tuesday evening, as follows: c. J.
Lord, President; c. b. Mann, Vice
President NJ. O'Connor. Treasurer,
and a. 5. Cation, Secretary. The
only other business done was dis
cussion of methods of improving
highways. 1t is said the most es-
Scntial qualification for membership
in this new organization is the pay
ment of 800. That is splendid
test of sincerity. however. Money
talks" and it is hoped it will now
use good. plain L. S. language to
make itself heard and understood.
The Chamber of Commerce has had
nothing but talk of late years, but it
was in that unknown tongue which
fails to pick up the combination on
the nerve leading to the purse, or
even of the Drawn that developcs
active and persistent personal effort.
Let us hope that the new body will
give some evidence, speedily, that it
is founded upon Il better plan for ac-
cOmplishing results. 1t is safe al
ways to Judge of matters by results.
The Commercial Club has the field
and it will be a pleasant duty to
boot at the proper time.

Rock Oil, Not Coal OIL.

There Is widespread belief that
the oil generally known as coal oil
was discovered within a comparatively
short time. AS a matter of fact, it
has been known for centuries There
Is n well, or spring, on the island of
Zante that has been flowing for two
thousand years. The Greek historian,
Herodotus, speaks of this well. 1t
is said, also, that the people Of India
have used the oil from time immemor-
ial. The boys and girls should remem-
ber that coal oil is not the right name
for it; 1t is really rock oil, it's. scien-
tific name being petroleum (from the
Greek petra, a rock, and the Latin
oleum, oiD. 1t is called coal oil be-
cause many people believe that 1t
comes from coal down In the earth.
Some of it does, but most of 1t comes
from rocks that are much older than
those In which coal is found. The
best authorities say that it has been
made by the decay of seaweeds and
animals. The oil as 1t comes from the
earth is one of the most disgusting
substances known, so far as appear
ance goes, but 1t Is of the greatest
possible service to man. Many things
that are in daily use are produced
from it, as we'll as valuable medi-
cines and the most beautiful colors.

Taking Care of Goldfish.

Many boys and girls have goldfish
haps, the best way to take care of them.
They should be kept in broad
mouthed glass vessel-a vessel with
straight sides Is best-which should al
ways be nearly full Of water. A few
shells and small quantity Of gravel
should bs put into the vessel. Many
persons are in the habit of dropping
bread crumbs into the water for the fish
to eat, but that Is very bad for them, as
the bread soon sours. Regularly pre-
pared fish food may be had, which
should be given to them every day or
two. 1t is sood plan, too, to keep
a piece Of water-wssd in the jar; 1t
will grow floating on the water, and
the fish like to nibbls ut 1t. The water
should BE- changed at least twice a
week, and 1t should bs siphoned out,
not poured. The best way to do this
Is to use q piece of rubber tubing, say,
1S inches long. Put one end into the
water, and the other end in your
mouth. After sucking the water part
ly up in the tubing, grasp the latter
tightly with your thumb and finger,
take the end out Of your mouth, and
still holding it tightly. drop it into
the vessel into which the water Is to
be drained, which should be lower
than the f1sh-jar. The water will at
once begin to flow, and will continue
to do 80 as long as the drain end of
the tube Is kept lower than the end
In the jar.

JOKE ON THE CITY FELLOW.

did you ever notice." asked the
necktie clerk of the Kansas City Star
writer, chow the average city fellow
lords 1t over the country boy? Thinks
he's wiser and better, you know. It's
natural-I thought that way until l
mixed with n few simon-pure country
boys, and then l tumbled.
You see, my old man bought farm
down In Kansas and went down
there to run affairs. l was pie
for the rubes. Course l couldn't milk
COW, and that tickled them to death.
But l learned to milk. on the quiet,

tune in the pail and thought l was on
to everything l was fool, too.

outdoor entertainment in pasture
Everything was allowed but biting and
scratching. OF course, got the brunt
Of the rustic wit, and 1t wasn't half
bad, either. But when 1t was passed
around that l couldn't milk a cow l
just smiled.
"Any one want to bet?' l asked,
thinking Of some easy money.
"They figured for few minutes,
and then scratched up $40, and COW
cred 1t.
"Trot 'er out, 1 says, feeling kind
of guilty. They didn't know about my
private lessons.
WELL" continued the necktie clerk,
arranging his stock on the table, "they
trotted her out-the COW, you know
and l settled beside her on one-leg-
ged stool and went after the juice. But
nothing came, and everybody guffaw-
ed. l couldn't coax any milk out of
that critter for love or money. The
COW stood my abuse for ten minutes
and never said a word. She was

GOLD IN RHoDESIk.
Interesting Data Given by the Unit

Interesting Data Given by the Unit
ed States Consul.
Consul John II. Snodgrass of Pre-
toria furnishes the following report on
the mining and industrial development
Of the British-African colony Of Rho
deSia
"The expansion of the gold industry
in Rhodesia to the annual production
Of 810,O0O,0OO of the metal has been ac-
complished by the small investor and
individual effort rather than by means
Of capital. Small reefs have been dis
covered In this territory, and many are
confidently predicting that Rhodesia in
a few years may perhaps excel the
Transvaal in the production of the
precious metals. Small operators with
little capital by their own efforts have
Of late been extracting nearly one
third Of the total amount Of gold
found, and their earnings have been
spent mostly In the colony, as a con-
sequence Of which there has been a re-
vival of trade. While such crops as
tobacco, cotton and wool have been try
ing to find their way into the distant
markets, local demands for grain,
fruits and fresh meats are being met
more and more by the Rhodesian agri-
culturists themselves.
"Rhodesa's output Of other minerals
than gold has increased and several
new Industries have come into life dur
Ing the year. Pioneer settlers along
the Cape to Cairo railroad have proved
that what could be done in South
north, and some remarkable crops have
been grown. The Kafue river, the
bridging Of which was an engineering
feat second only to that accomplished
at the Victoria falls, afterward proved
to be useful waterway, for 1t extends
100 miles, and several steam and sail
Ing craft have already been put on it.
The close of 1906 saw that launching
of a great scheme for the supply of
electricity for the Rand, and Rhodesia
is interested in this from the fact that
1t Is the intention to derive a vast
amount of that power from the Vic.
toria falls.
"In the return Of a generally Rho,
desian prosperity 1t Is only natural
that the railways should play an i'm
portant part, though they have suf-
fered badly as other lines of indus
try on account Of the long drawn-out
depression that overcast all South
Africa. The report of the Rhodesian
railways for the year 1906 shows that
the gross earnings for the first eleven
months totaled 50 $685. 500, which is
equal to $2,661 900 per annum, as
against $2,316,5OO in 1906; the net
revenue was S9SS,5OO, as compared
with 1884 900 in 1905. This represents
an annual gain of 12% per cent in net
income An approximate estimate of
the traffic during the year puts the
gross earnings at S2,711,OO0 and the
net revenue at $1,O14, 800"
