to create the indastry-the men who
have rubbed the wonderful lamp and
found gold in their hands This duty
should not be left to another genera
ton. Already there are thousands en-
listed in this army of modern grease
who never saw the site on which the
old Drake well was drilled with so
much pains and patience. Annually
hui .dreds of travellers pass the magic
spot and have naught to attract their
glance from the car window. But next
year they may see the tall shaft and
the torch that, hand in hand with Lib
erty, has lighted the world, literally.
The following description is given of
the design of the Petroleum Me-
mortal:
THE monument is in the form of
monolithic Doric shaft bearing aloft
bronze lantern in the form of a
globe. The shaft rests upon a single
block of stone, upon the four faces
of which are bas-reliefs symbolical of
the departments of human activity
which have been most affected by the
discovery of oil-heat, light, power and
locomotion. The base rests upon a
stylobate of three high steps. The
stylobate is in the center of a paved
area surrounded by parapet having
at the four corners salient masses,
upon the outer surface of which are
to be cut inscriptions telling of the
history of the discovery of oil by Col.
Drake and of the evolution of the in
dustry. The whole monument is to be
raised upon sodded plateau and is to
be approached on all four sides by
flights of Is steps.
The dimensions of the monument
are as follows: Plateau, 81 feet
square; platform at parapet line, so
feet square; diameter of shaft, feet
6 inches; pedestal, feet square;
stylobate, 20 feet square; height of
plateau, feet; height of monument,
SO feet; total height of monument and
plateau, 81 feet.
The location of the old Drake we'll
is on a slightly spot near the line of
the Pennsylvania railroad, so that the
monument when completed can be
viewed by all travellers between Pitts
burg and Buffalo.

WIT OF A BOY SAVES FOUR.

New York.-Quicknes of wit and
readiness Of hand which Willie Somers
himself is too young to appreciate en-
abled the boy to save two men and two
women from almost certain death at
the point where Clay street crosses the
Erie railroad in Paterson, N. ].
Willie is II years old, and the most
responsible duty he has known hither-
to is to carry dinner pail to Maurice
Dunlap, the signalman on duty in the
Clay street power mouse.
Willie takes Dunlap his dinner
promptly at five o'clock each after
noon. He was sharp to the minute this
time, and when he climbed up into the
tower house he found the signalman
unconscious on the floor. CHANGING up
the track he saw the express train ap-
preaching. Along Clay street an auto
containing two men and two women
was nearing the crossing at high
speed, and collision seemed inevita-

GIRLS IN A BATTLE
OVER TICKLE LOVER
FIST FIGHT ON NEW ORLEANS
STREET is WATCHED BY
BIG CROWD.

New Orleans, La.-When two young
women love one man and he gives no
sign of preferring either to the other.
the best thing to do is for the young
women to select some public place, an
hour when the streets are crowded
and fight it out with their fists.
This was the theory upon which
Miss Allie Blake, 16 years old, and
Miss Mamie Mclaughlin, Is years ole
acted when they met on Canal street
shortly after ten o'clock the other
night, when most of the theaters were
turning their crowds into the main
thoroughfares of the city.
There were few preliminaries to the
combat. Miss Allie gave a little cry

and went after her older rival with
hands wide open. Miss Mamie met the
attack, and then both clinched. Sever
al hundred theater-goers who saw the
two welldressed young women trying
to tear each other to pieces stood by
and watched the fight in amazement.
A young man who had been Miss AL
lies escort and another young man
who was with Miss Mamie gave each
other a curious glance and disap-
peared in opposite directions when the
combat began.
After Miss Allie had pulled out
much of Miss Mamie's hair and had
lost a good deal of her own, bystand-
ers suggested that the fight should be
stopped, but as no one appeared to
have sufficient authority or courage to
separate the combatants, nothing was
done in the interest of peace except
to send for a policeman. By the time
the policeman arrived much of the
clothing worn 6y the two young wom-
en- had been torn and their faces were
bloody.
They appeared not to object to en-
tering the police partol, but when they
attempted to continue the fight. in the
vehicle the patrolman stopped them
and held each until they arrived at
the police station
When the two young women ap-
peared before the clerk they made no
objection to giving their names, but
would not tell why they fought except
to say that it was for love. They adj
mitted there was one man in their
two cases, but would not tell his name
When arraigned both girls said they
could never bring the man in the case
to declare himself, and could not tell
which one he loved. The longer the
situation continued, they said, the
more they disliked each other, and
when they met by chance the fight
was almost involuntary They were

with fear, certain she was to lose her

Taking a stick and a bundle of

fearing to find her dead from ex-

She. always on the lookout, saw him

companying DR.. Clemans on his semi
annual missionary trip to the Indians
in the wilderness of northern Mime
sofa.
On leaving the railroad at Gheen on
their way to the reservation they had
walk of "a miles over broken coun-
try before them. Each carried a
heavy pack. In describing the journey
one of the clergymen said:
1T seemed to me that we would
never get through, for every foot for
ward we seemed to slip back two, so
slippery was the frozen ground"
On their return trip instead of re-
turning by way of Gheen they deter
mined to strike across Pelican lake for
Orr's, another station on the road,
which route would save them several
miles If they found the ice as firm
as they were assured it was by the
natives who had crossed it themselves.
They had not been an hour on the
lake before a binding snowstorm set
in, accompanied by fierce wind
which grew into a typical northwest
blizzard. They were forced to turn
from their direct course across the
lake and seek the shelter of the is
lands and the shore
The snow stung their faces, making
sight more than a few feet ahead inn
possible. AT any moment they ran the
risk of sinking through the treacher-
ously thin ice. And had it not been
for the Unborn instinct of their guides
they would have been in constant peril.
AS it was they walked blindly ahead
mile after mile. not knowing the di-
rection in which they travelled or
where they were, but placing their
lives in the hands Of Indians.
Ii was a thankful and weary party
that long after dark trudged into Or
ris. They had come miles out of the
way to follow the short line where the
ice was firmer. Though at no time
did their exertions allow them to be-
come cold, they were fatigued almost
to despair.

MY life has been very lucky one.
When l was three years old / fell

was five years old / was looking at
some hens and a dog bit my leg When

the trap and the horse fell and threw
us out of the trap; my brother lit on
his feet and lit on the horses back.
Last year was playing, and ran into

the slaughter house and a big sheep
ran after me and knocked me down.

This cheerful acceptance of what
are usually regarded as the ills of life
reminds the writer of an old school
fellow who took part in the fight at
Elandslaagte at the beginning of the
South African war. After the engage

Pietermaritzburg. AS soon as he was
able he wrote home and sent his peo-

New York.-To save her three cows

and lived there with the animals,
guarding them jealousy for three
nights and days.
In her native country thieving Off
Gals robbed the timorous peasants of

the notices sent to her, feared that the
inspectors of the Queens county health
board were OF the same dishonest
stripe
They went to Mrs. Pazar's COW
stable on Brown avenue to learn if it
was sanitary, and found that it
should be cleaned and window cut
in it. Their presence frightened Mrs,
Pazar. AS she watched them making
notes she was certain that they were
marking her for plumber.
They went away, and in day or
two the arrival of big envelope ter

a neighbor to read it she would have
learned that it only directed the
changes in the stable which she must
make.
But she took it for granted that the
envelope contained demand for her
little herd by which she supports her
self. So, like cruel mother who
throws her child to pursuing wolves
