Standard Oil Gives Up.

The case of Wilkins Bros, of Thor
oughfare, against the Standard Oil Comp
any, for damages was resumed in the
Gloucester County Court last week and
came to an abrupt and unexpected close
on Thursday when a settlement was made
on the basis of paying Wilkins Bros
SIS, 900. The highest value OF plaintiffs
store building and stock was $4,000
and this leaves $4,000 to Charles Wilkins
for personal injury.
On Dec. 5, 1902, W explosion took
place and the allegation was that tie
agent of the Company had put from % to
40 gallons of gasoline i'll the kerosene tank
in the store cellar by mistake. When
the lamps were lighted in the evening a
blue flame followed the striking OF a
match and the goose neck to the tank
was hurled through the store which was
wrecked. Wilkins Bros perseverance
through years of litigation has shown
great faith in their case which has been
conceded.

FRIEND SUMMER1LL;
After resting from my~trip along the
Pacific slope about June 25th | will leave
Denver for another trip for scenic won-
ders that cannot be surpassed in the
world. l shall make it over the Denver
and North Western Pacific railroad now
being built by David fl. Mofit, OF Den
yer, to shorten the mileage in crossing
the continent 200 miles. 1t is called the
Mofit road, 1t was discouraging to engin-
eering skill as at times it goes thru lane
of perpetual snow. The great canyons OF
Arizona are tame in comparison to what
the tourist takes in on this route.
The first t~wenty-seven miles there is
~twenty-six tunnels. The highest eleva-
ton is over HOO feet. 1t is finished to
Steamboat Springs, a distance OF 250miles.
Mr.. Moffit, being a multi-millionaire,
has all the great trunk lines to fight. 1t
has taken the greatest engineering skill
to project it. You folks in the East do
not know what is going Oh out here in
this Western country. Having been a
locomotive engineerfo years | am greatly
interested and am making a study OF all
large railroad construction work which is
being done across the rocky back bone
of the continent. Here are the most
wonderful sights OF the twentieth century.
Plaius and mountains of every con
ceivable shape and size meet your gaze.
I have all the views and books of my
travels and all that / have seen and will
see until | return. l hope to show them
and explain them to my friends.

When School is Over

When school is over, and careless and gay,
We've finished the work of the year;
When the book and pencil are hidden away
Till the autumn shall come, l fear;
What wonderful plans we all of us make,
How much we are going to do, [break
And what good resolves we nave formed to
Ere the first long month is through.
When school is over it somehow seems
That the days go fitting past;
just long enough for our golden dreams
That follow each other so fast.
And the works undone that we meant to do
And we've broken every rule, Through
When we find at last that the summers
And the BELLS are ringing for school,.

When the Lord first made shad

SO to ruin the scheme,
He jumped into the stream,
And stuck in the bones out of spite.

First illumined its bed,
The angels looked down and were glad.
But the devil, tits said,
Fairly pounded his head,
For he'd used all the bones in the shad.
