WYOMING COMPANY. STRIKES a
FLOW NEAR GARLAND.
Of SUPERIOR QUALITY
Independent Oil Company in Which
Billings Men Are Interested Has
More Oil Than It Can Use-Wlil
Construct a Refinery Soon.

week at the oil properties e Gar
land, Wyo, controlled by the Mon
tana-Wyoming Oil company in which
q number Of local business men :
interested.
OIL In the new well was obtained
when the drills were a little more
than 600 feet below the surface Of the
ground, and the volume Of the dow in
creased until q depth Of almost 800
feet when drilling operations were
suspended on account Of there being
more oil than could be successfully
taken care Of.
The flow a encountered at q
depth Of IS feet Of sand, there being
a rock pressure Of over 500 pounds to
the square inch which forced the oil
to q height OF over 80 feet In the
air. In order to save the oil from go
ing to waste the we'll was capped with
q heavy steel cap. Late Tuesday night
the cap was forced OF and more than
1000 barrels Of oil YER wasted.
Drilling u Discontinued.
Drilling operations at the wells will
be discontinued until some means Of
utilizing the oil can be arranged for.
The parties interested in the develop,
ment Of the field are contemplating
the construction Of q refinery in .
short time in order to refine the oil
80 that It can be used commerciallys
Whether a "split' refinery or n cap
able Of separating all the component
ingredients Of the product will be built
is not known at present. Should the
proposed plant be OF the split" va
riety there will not be near the ex-
pense that would be incurred In the
erection OF a nor extensive plant in
which machinery for the separation
and treatment Of the medicinal partA
OF the oil would be used. AS soon as
a plant is constructed further devel-
opment of the OIL fields will be re.
sumed.
OF Superior Quality.
In quality the oil found near Gar.
land is said to be superior to any
found in Pennsylvania, there being 8
larger percentage Of pure oil in the
Wyoming product than that Of the
eastern state. IN a technical way Of
measuring the superiority Of the oil
there are an average OF "A gravities
in that found in Wyoming while II
Pennsylvania there is an average. Of
but AZ.
The best oil found in the United
States contains 40 GRANTEES, but It Il
in such small quantities that it is o.
comparatively little Importance. More
parafne is secured from the western
oil than the eastern, there being more
than IL per cent parafne in the com
position Of the former.

AS to where the contemplated Re
4anery will be built is a matter Of con
lecture, but It has been PRACTICAL,
decided that 1t will be at either Cal

VISIT LAFAYETTE

Sunday night q burglar entered three
places Of business, but secured very
little booty. He entered Nose Levy's
store. effecting an entrance through q
rear trsnsome and then robbed the
cash register. He seemed to UNDER
stand the workings Of the register for
he opened it and closed just % II he
were accustomed to that sort IT thing
He paid . visit to Young's drug store
whore he got IS cents from the register
for his trouble, getting in from . rear
window. He also went to Yandle's ice
parlor, making his entrance
through . rear side window, BY break
ing the upper glass and opening the
catch. He got shout 800 from the
register. At mono Of the places was
any thing except the money missed.
From the work Of the burglar It looks
like he il white and experienced.
Thursday morning the local ticket
ofhoe wss robbed early In the morning
and over 80 secured. No trace Of the
robbsr has been found YET.

other looking for a better husband.
Hence the boat superstition.
Wise men to-day realize their own
inferiority, and they don't want to
give the vote to the women. just as the
Sandwich Islanders didn't want to
give the boat to the women. They are
afraid that the woman might vote
themselves into a better condition of
society, and, incidentally, vote for
laws that would MAKE the worthless
husband a little less worthless, and
the heartless employer a little less
heartless.
1t Is amusing to hear men say that
women cannot be the equals of men
because the men fight and the women
don't.
WHO SUPPLIES THE MEN THAT
DO THE FIGHTING?
Would there be any fighters without
women? Would there be any soldiers
without women? Isn't Maxim, who
manufactures the rapid-fre gun, at
least as much a fighter as the ordi-
nary soldier that turns the crank and
sends out the bullets? Certainly the
man that MAKES the gun is at least as
good as the gun Or the shooter.
Isn't the m who MAKES the
soldier as good as the soldier?
Incidentally, it is no longer true
that women are not the equals of men
in fighting.
Once upon q time fighting was q
question of brutal energy. Now it is
a matter of pulling a trigger.
A woman weighing eighty pounds
can take care of q man weighing two
hundred and fifty pounds, if the
woman has the revolver and sees the
burglar promptly.
OF course, women meyer WILL en-
gage in war; men themselves will not
be fighting very much longer.
One of the quickest ways of ending
the fighting, stopping the brutal
slaughter, and making this earth q
halfway decent abode of halfway de-
cent human beings, is TO GIVE
WOMEN THE BALLOT.
Give women the votes. and they
will soon decide that better use shall
be made of the o n that they give to
the earth than using them up, as Ma
poleon said, as 'tlesh for cannon"

ODD ERRORS THAT
CREEP INTO TYPE

Typographical errors that produced
weird or comical effects are described
by the st. Louis Republic in, an article
recalling the days when all Of that
newspapers type was set by hand, be-
fore the introduction of typesetting ma
chimes. when the copy" instead Of be-
Ing typewriter, was turned over to
the printer in an infinite variety OF
good, bad and Indifferent c~hirography.
Comparatively few of the errors were
allowed to contribute to the gayety of
the subscribers, as the majority were
squelched in the House OF Correction"
as the proof room was facetiously
called. From a collection made by a
proof reader the following instances OF
ridiculous misleading of copy are
AIKEN:
His blushing bride" was trans
formed into his clustering bride" A
captain was said to have Served with
destruction in h confederate army"
but the writer thought he wrote dis
tinction." Two pictures entitled The
Galley Slave" and Each in Their
Turn" were referred to as "The Galley
/ Love" and "Enoch in Shin Town"
Having in mind the influence OF for
mer citizens of the land OF the sham
rock upon the political destinies of the
town, what more natural than the
printerman should set up an Irish
District Court" when 1t should have
been the First District Court?" Pro-
lessor Gecks was mentioned as having
rendered violent selections rather
violin selections"
Somebody was quoted as saying that
"all the singing folks on the vaudeyflle
stage have hundreds of wives" but the
copy when carefully examined was
found to read Husbands or wives"
and a sensation In the theatricaf world
averted. 'rs y .
They sailed for three days around
the cape and finally slaughtered a small
Italian was corrected to e sighted
q small island"
On n occasion the reporter wrote
of certain 'dwarfed and hungered chill
dren," who were mad to appear per-
haps more pathetic when the compost
tor substituted the words "doorfed and
haggard." He takes delight In talk
ing on his family shame" was a shame
full thing to say about him, for "favorite
theme" was meant. Red Cross So
ciety will fight Corbett" was the way a
typesetter transformed the o con-
corning a crusade against cholera.

DIRECTOIRE WALK
IS SURELY COMING
Fad Started by French Actress
Is Spreading--Sioux City
Is Attacked.

or cour,' rs bound to come, the
directoire walk. It's coming will be
simply a matter of necessity. for who
al wear the directoire gown becom-
ingly IL their walk is not in accord
ance with the style.
1t took French actresses and the
haut monde Of Paris only a short time
to learn that such women as Joseph
Inc, Nine. Tailien, and Mime. RGcamier
wore this costume SO becomingly be-
they had the right ort of car
rage and walk. During the last year
q number OF classes hase been formed
In Paris for the purpose OF i~nstructing
women in the cultivation OF the proper
figure and walk to wear these gowns
becomingly.
These classes are D]atronized by New
York and Chicago society women aIong
with IN P~arisians. 4 teacher has just
been called to New York from Paris
to give lessons on the directOlre walk,
and there are whispers that one is
coming westward, yes, to Sioux City,
for the fad is taking here.
Their exercises are few and strenu-
Gus. The most important is the rolling
over the floor. This helps them TO get
rid Of hips, q heavy torso, and super
fiuous flesh over the abdomen. They

time, but after some lessons soue roll
TOT nalI an nOuT WITHOUT becoming e&-
hausted.
Tired at First.
AS one American woman SAYS: AT
first l was all aches Inc Lains, but now
/ can roll half an hour without feeling
tired. / practice this exercise right af-
ter my bath, when / feel fresh Why,
! am so timber / could roll down hill
with my little boy il i only possessed
the courage"
In rolling must stretch full length
and roll evenly and firmly. Half a
dozen times are enough in the begin
ming, though this can be increased
gradually from day to day. The only
other exercise needed is to inhale:
raise the hands over the head and let
them fall until they touch the door
without bending the knees. This exer-
else helps to take the flesh off h hips
and make the body Timber.
The directoire walk is as exacting
n difficult as the figure. The only
way it is to be obtained is by practic-
ing In skirts that are not only narrow
but rest upon the floor, unstiffened for
several inches in front and on the side,
while the back trails on the ground.
The Science of II.
In walking, her steps must be meas
ured, void OF all stride. This tempo
can only be gained by counting and
walking slowly in the beginning until
one fairly glides. The arms must hang
loosely at the sides, or Al least curve
themselves, but never break into a
swing, not ven in walking. The head
is raised high and bent forward slightly
to avoid any suggestion of being
naughty. The directoIre girl seats her

GETTING THOSE RiPPLEs
so MUCH DESIRED

A simple but most effective way of
making the hair wave in the big rim
Piles which continue to be fashionable
is to dampen IT and tie it down with
bands of baby ribbon. or course abso-
lutely straight hair will not yield I'd
this treatment, but hair with the slight
est tendency to curl will respond beau
tifully.
After the hair Is done up dampen It
with hot water. pinch 1t a little and
draw 1t close down to the head
with bands of baby ribbon put on in
separate pieces about an inch apart
and pinned very tight to the head.
Leave on for IN hour, remove carefully,
then comb the hair gently until 1t fluffs
out in charming waves OF beautiful
regularity.

A DUTCH

Ia over the water so blue and deep
The little Dutch babies are going to sleep;
Bright yellow tulips are nodding their
heads
And fluffy young ducks are safe in their
beds,
While slowly the windmills go whirl,ng
round-
Go whirling around-go whirllng around.
Far over the water the sails are furled
And the stars peep out on a sleepy world:
The moe cows moo softly beneath the
trees .r.
And the white sheep browse in the even
ing breeze,
While Slowly the wlndmills go whirling
around
Go whirling a~round-go whirling around.
Far over the water comes down the night,
Fading and fading the silvery light,
While storkS on their nests stand white
n tall.
And over the tree-tops the shadows fall.
While softly the windmills go whirlIng
around
whirling ~around-go whirling around.

PRESENTS THAT THE
CHILDREN WILL LIKE
Little Folks Need Slippers as
Well as Older People
How to Make Them.

Just as grown people need slippers,
so do children, only theirs are usually
TO he finished so that they reach over
the ankles. OF course, they are regular
bedroom slippers, fastened to leather
soles, lined with lambs wool. so that
the little feet within viii feel warm and
comfortable. .## a.&
A very attractive pair is made 81
pink zephyr in the slipper stitch. TO
make them one needs two skeinst OF
zephyr, one pair of lambs wool soles.
one-half yard of No. 4 ribbon n a
medium sized bone crochet hook. The
stitch used is the ordinary slipper
stitch until II reaches Just below the
ankle, where the ribbon Is placed. The
rest of the slipper is finished with
three rows OF shells and one OF picot.
The size described is No. 8: for each
size larger make one row more for the
front and sides.
How to Begin.
To begin, chain IL stitches, and for
the first row work five single crochet,
in the sixth stitch Ia three single
crochet M then finish the line with
five single crochet. This makes one
stitch in ten stitches, n three stitch
es in the middle stitch. which forms the
center of the upper part Of the slipper.
For the second row use one single
crochet in every stitch, including the
three, added stitches.
: linen Tor the tnlfd row there VIII DC
o. total OF 10. Work this single crochet
in the seventh, make three single GRO
chet and then finish the row with six
single crochet.
On the fourth row work one single
crochet in every stitch, including tho
added stitches. Continue In this way,
widening every other row by putting
three stitches i'm the center stitch until
there are IA ridges and 20 rows. Now
work Is single crochet, turn and work
back and forth on the 10 original stitch
es for nine ridges. This makes the side
of the slipper. Make the other side
the same and crochet the W. marrow
stitches together at the heel. t
Putting on Sole.
Now the foot Of the slipper is fin
isbed, and it is time to begin the or
namentation for the ankle. Begin this
the top in every ridge. This is the
space for the ribbon.
For h next row make n shell of
four, skip two trebles, make n treble
and repeat the process until the end
of the row. ...
The next row is the same, putting
shell in shell and treble above treble.
The last row finish with a shell OF
five all the way round and a picot edge.
The slipper is then sown to the soles
with a strong needle and thread, n
the ribbon may be run round tho
trebles provided for the purpose at the
line of the ankle. This makes a charm-
ing little Christmas gift for a chiid
and n that will surely be appreciated.
