FIFTY years ago Col Edwin i. Drake

The story OF the finding Of coal oil.
which marked a new era in human af-
fairs and made possible recent marvels
in automobile and aeropIane propul-

bermen Of northwestern Pennsylvania
had long known OF the heavy. black,
oily substance sweeping from the
rocks In many localities. The springs
were sought by Indians as cures ages
before the coming of the white man,

Col. Drake was poorly paid EN-
ploye OF the New Haven road at head
quarters. A sample of oil reached him
through Prof. Silliman Of Yale, who
suggested that Drake inspect the place
whence the new substance came. He
went to Oil creek, backed by several
men. and after waking about the hills
studying the rocks and the oil which
slowly percolated into shallow pits he
conceived plan 60 drill and find de-

financier's Simple and Old
fashioned Home Tastes Rank
I'd With His Greatest Success.
BY ADELINE STANLEY CARRICK.

EDWARD II. HARTMAN was an
old-fashioned man. His views con-
corning most things, particularly his
opinions anent matrimony, were those
of the people of W generations ago,
whose lives were too full to give them
much time to develop theories regarding
the acquisition of afinities and the pos
sibilities of "soul-mating'' as opposed
to a prosaic existence in the light of a
stable wifely affection.
when you marry said he, "choose
a good woman. a cooperative woman,
one who will interest herself in what.
ever work it may be incumbent upon
you to do.
II truly believe that if wives were to
take more interest in their husbands
affairs we would have a happier world
Being ~old-fashioned he saw the
worth of an old-fashioned wife. one
who would "cieave to her husband in
sunny days and gray; who would be
both his inspiration and his helpmate,
and whose personal regard for him
would not be influenced by his worldly
possessions or the possibility Of his
losing them, a woman who would be q
m in the grander sense of the
word.

Matrimony a Doctrine Which
Flourished Under His Roof.

itself. Always be courteous, always
be friendly, and do the best you can
under all circumstances" was the sum
total of his plan of life, one which the
average young man would disregard as
being entirely too simple. But then the
average young MAJ seldom achieves
anything remarkable anyway.
He is all too apt to consider himself
a superior person who can afford to
disregard small things because he is
just naturally meant for something
big.
Only those below or above the aver
age have n sort of a certain idea
regarding their shortcomings, and un-
he car never hope to obliterate that
weakness.
Hartman and his wife were close
friends all during their long married
life. His great wealth affected their
private life little or not at all. The So
cial obligations it brought and which
they could not avoid rested upon them
lightly, because, first and foremost. they
considered ZACH other and their home.
As a last mark of the great esteem
and complete confidence with which he
regarded her, Mr.. Hartman, in a will
so simply worded as to make the whole
world marvel, left her, unreservedly, the
colossal fortune that had heaped itself
upon him during his active lifetime.
And when one thinks of the long
years they spent together, of their con-
tentment with each other, it is not 20
be doubted that all her millions cannot
reach and soothe the ache in the heart
of his wife, she who has lost both hus-
band and best friend.
: All of which gives food for thought
to the modern woman. who deliber-
ately tries to separate herself from
home interests and close com%panionship
with her husband, in order to live on a
plane which she earnestly believes con-
stitutes equality.
