FOUNTAIN FROM AN OAK TREE
Freak Of Nature 10 Utilized After an
Election Wager.

Perrysville, Ind.--One N natures
freaks Is a medium sized pin oak tree
from which flows a solid stream of ex
cellent water through a gas pipe. The
tree is located about three miles west
of Perrysvlle, on the Covington road
in front Of Milton Wrights farm
house.
During the Cleveland and Har
rison campaign, In 1883. Mr. Wright
noticed that puddles of water we're
congregating at the base of the tree,
and that the bark was wet several
feet up the sides. He made a wager
with friend, Mr.. Haines, that II
Cleveland was elected he would make
n watering place for public use, and II
Harrison was elected Mr.. Haines was
TO have the trough made and the tree
tapped,
Soon after the election Of Mr.. Har.
rison, Mr. Ilaines made his bet good
by having the tree tapped and stones
cut for watering place for horses
that pass along the road. Not once
during 20 years has the stream ceased
flowing from the tree.
1t is thought by expert biologists
that there is an underground
stream, with an opening at the roots
of the tree, but Mr. Wright refuses to
allow an investigation for fear of de-,
stroying the fountain

CLEANING Furniture.

Many housekeepers overlook the
necessity of thoroughly cleaning chairs
and other pieces of furniture. some
parts of which become SO soiled that
the ordinary dust cloth does not do
what is required.
Wooden chairs that have nothing to
protect them where the hair often
rests, wooden arms on rockers, and
the tops of a dining chair where the
hand lifts IL and where soiled coats
rub against It become 80 soiled that
white gowns and waists often show
contact with them.
Use a soft cloth and slightly warmed
water and do not be afraid of soap, a
good soap. Do not have the cloth too
wet and hurry the operation. Dry
quickly with another soft cloth and
polish at once with a soft flannel
dipped in paraffin oil, which can be
bought at any drug store for small
sum Try this psrsfin oil for q furni-
ture polish and you will never want
another.

STOCKS VIGOROUS
Feeling of Confidence That GOOD
Times Are Near Has Assumed
Considerable Magnitude.

New York, March 31.-The stock
market today manifested degree OF
vigor that proved of notable influence
in forming the speculative sentiment
| ana in confirming the feeling OF con
fjdence that has been growing up In
the shaping of affairs towards bet
terment.
Although this feeling remains with
| out Confederation in the news events
| in trade and industrials, the evidence
of the action of the stock market is
none the less impressive, and is ac'
copied with confidence by business
men themselves. The general out
| look is held accountable for the start
ing up of values and the reviving OF
speculative interests.
The action of the stock market in
the face of ONE later Developments
counted as iiscouraging suggests
that these developments in them
selves may mark the elimination of
the depression and the turning point
to Improvement Such development
was the open cut in steel products by
the United States steel corporation,
marking the abandonment of the
doubtful policy of ignoring the lack
of demand by holding prices at arti-
fetal levels.
While the new demand stimulated
by the cut is reported moderate yet
advices in the last few days are that
such demand is growing and is eX-
pected to expand materially with the
demonstration that bottom prices
have been touched.
Small profits must result from bust
ness booked at prevailing prices. the
danger of labor disputes from the
cutting of wages, the prospect of pro
longed apathy in trade while the tar
iff bill is being worked out. and all
similar unfavorable possibilities are
pointed out and have prompted per-
sistent efforts by the bear element
in the speculation to force down
prices.
With the failure of these efforts
the waiting demand for stocks has
grown impatient and fearful that the
hope for an opportunity for buying
at cheaper prices might be slipping
away from them.
The probability of a period of ex-
treme plentitude of money supplies
3 a stimulating factor on the specula-
ton. Net earnings statements for
February for the Southern and Union
Pacific roads were followed by an adj
vance in the former to a record
price and in the latter to the highest
price touched since the stock was
placed on the 10 per cent dividend
basis in August 1906.
The strength of the days market
was not uniformly held and the close
itself was decidedly irregular, under
the influence of active profit taking.

BETTER THAN srEWEo PRIMES
Cheap and Wholesome Fruit 10 Ape
thing When Baked.

Some one has said that you couldn't
run a boarding house without prunes.
and certainly there is no fruit SO cheap,
and at the same time so wholesome,
says an authority on foods | think the
boarder's chief objection to them is
the monotonous way In which they are
cooked. Now II is Just as easy to bake
prunes as to stew them. and the result
is far more appetizing, as a rule. They
should be first washed. then placed in
a heavy earthen pudding dish or stone
pipkin. covered with plate and thor
oughly baked In the open. They re-
quire no sugar, but will be improved
by a sprinkling of fine shavings from
the yellow rind of lemons or oranges.
They taste best when served cold with
whipped cream.
very much doubt il prune soup has
been tried by American cooks, though
II is great favprite In Sweden. 1t
makes an agreeable variety with the
ordinary run of cream, soups. The chill.
dren will like It with plenty of bread
for luncheon The recipe reads:
Wash three pounds of prunes and
soak over night in two quarts of water
In the morning cook in the water in
which they have been soaked for two
or three hours. At the. same time cook
In separate saucepan one cnpful oat-
meal in two quarts Of cold water. Let
this also boil two hours, stirring fire.
ouently, unless. you cook it. in double
boiler. Strain the oatmeal. Half an
hour before the prunes are done add
