most interesting story is contained
in one pictured postal and the com
munication on it. The card. which is
from a French student OF Esperanto,
shows a man standing on the porch
of a rude log cabin. Surrounding the
porch are trees which have been carved
into grotesque forms and faces. The
writer explains the photograph. which
he took himself. It seems that. at some
distance from civilization, this French
man, who occupies this cottage. is liv-
ing the life of a hermit, and has en-
ployed his spare time in carving the
surrounding trees into the likenesses
Of human beings Asked why he had
spent so much time in this work. he
replied that he had grown tired of his
solitary existence. and had carved the
faces for company's sake. This is a
story In itself-yet what story may lay
behind IT Of disappointed hopes, of the
loss of loved ones. perhaps of the
treachery of friends, of an affair of the
heart? There are many possibilities
suggested by this grotesque postal,
which is reproduced above.
A Cabby Esperantist
In Paris there is taxicab driver
who speaks and writes Esperanto. and
that he is an active propaganda is
demonstrated by a postal card received
by Mr.. Treadwell which pictures the
taxicab with green star, the emblem
of Esperanto, on the side of the vehicle.

More Testimony for Mr.. Wheeler.

The charge made by Mr.. Sibley that
Congressman Wheeler neglected the oil
interests of his district when the tariff bill
was up for consideration has flattened out
so completely that 1t seems hardly neces-
sary to refer to 1t again, but we give be-
low the testimony of just one more wit
ness who was on the ground and knows
all the facts in the case. 1t shows that
Mr.. Wheeler was alive TO the interests of
his constituents aud that his good work is
appreciated by all who were in position
to know the facts. Read the letter:

Hon. N. p. WHEELER,
Washington, d. G.
DEAR SIR; Il am very glad indeed to
note that you are candidate for re-elec-
ton to Congress in the 2Sth District OF
Pennsylvania, and from my intimate
acquaintance with the oil men in that
district as their Secretary, can say that
your nomination will be not only satis-
factory but pleasing to the Independent
Oil Interests in that State,
While serving as Secretary to the In
dependent Oil Mems Committee at Wash
ington last year in their efforts TO secure
aduty on petroleum, fully realize the
value of your services in your attendance
upon the committee meetings, your work
among other members of Congress, and
your loyalty and fidelity to the interests
OF the oil men in that regard, and feel
that it was appreciated by all of the mem
bers of that cammittee.
think it goes without saying that your
opponent for reelection on the Republi-
can ticket in your Congressional District
would not be satisfactory to the oil inter-
ests that represent, on account of bis
connection with Standard Oil interests,
nor do know Of any aid that was ex-
tended by him in furthersnce of the in
terests of the oil men in their endeavor to
secure a duty upon petroleum and its pro-
ducts while the question was before Con-
gress about year ago.
Wishing you every success in securing
the nomination and reelecuion for your
District in Congress, which you have
heretofore so ably and satisfactorily held,
| am, Yours very truly,
