Hop substitutes Prohibited.

London, July 29.-With the view Of
assisting the local hop industry the
British government intends to pro-
hibit the use of hop substitutes in all
beer brewed in the United Kingdom.
A bill to this end will be introduced
and pushed through parliament by
the government at the autumn e $
sion. American hop growers will ben
eft largely by this measure, as many
brewersyprefer the American hops to
the local product.

JANET READS THE RIDDLE.


Throwing on some clothes,
softly opened my bedroom door and
stole out on to the landing. There
was a window at the stair head
overlooking the front garden and
the road, and, sure enough. there
was Herzog, plain in the moonlight,
passing out through the gate. Turn
ing to the left, he walked off
briskly and disappeared.
My first sensation was one of in
tense curiosity as to why he should
have gone out at such an hour. His
nocturnal expedition must have
been premeditated. guessed, when
his questioning of Mrs. Krance as
to her powers of sleep occurred to
me.
But what was the use of speculat
ing on the motives Of such a man
when his exodus had left me un
supervised, for few minutes al

the window to scan the doors Civ

IN HIS. SLEEP SAW OIL BURST

GAS AND OIL.


special Correspondence to The Press
PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 16.-
Frank Klausnitzer stirred uneasily
as he slept, several weeks ago, In
his ramshackle little home on a
farm near Butler, Pa.
He was dreaming a wonderful
dream. His wife. aroused by his
mutterings, woke him, and asked
what was the matter.
II have dreamed" said Frank,
that oil burst from the ground be-
tween our house and the, old apple
tree. thought the Oil filled our
cellar and drowned us out. And /
thought l heard a voice telling me
to dig there" q
Frank and his wife, the next day,
determined to see whether or not
the dream augured correctly. They
had no money, and were living,
rent free. in .tumbledown. shanty
which once had been a farm house.
But she had some jewelry, which
had been wedding gifts many years
before, and these were -pawned.
Also Frank sold an invention for
hanging wall paper, and in this way
lease on the property was bought.
Today Franks income it $42. To-
morrow it will be at least that
amount. And each day thereafter
he will receive as much and maybe
much more. For he got some Pitts
burg men of wealth to help him;
they organized the Dream Oil &
Gas Co., and they dug for oil be-
tween the apple tree and the house.
They didn't find any oil there, but
100000 cubic feet of gas is rush
ing daily from the hole they drilled.
Then another gas we'll was drilled
nearby; then oil was struck so
yards away. Frank is drilling two
mose at present. He has options on
acres and acres in that vicinity.
All this he did within a month.
Frank was very poor farmer in
deed. Urtil his dream came true
he rarely had more than enough to
meet daily household expenses. He
and his wife have seven children,
and the little ones used to be
treated with derision at school be-
cause they had no bread to eat, but
only cold buckwheat cakes.
