LITTLE wILLIE'S
CAMEL ESSAY

A boy in Oklahoma City submitted
the following essay on the ship OF the
desert:
The cannimal Is sheep OF the
desert. II is called a backteria be-
cause II has hump on its back. The
cannimal Is very patient, and will lie
down and die without a groan, but
when II is angry 1t gets It's back mp.
which is called taking the hump. The
shepherds OF cannimals is called
Arabs. When they live In towns they
ARE called street Arabs. When the
cannimal goes on journey Il drinks
az much rs II can 10 last for many
days. Such animals are called acqui-
ducks. Those that cannot carry
enough are called inebrates."
The boy Is eight years old. His
teacher says he is an ignoramus, His
father says he is young Mark Twain.

HOT DRINKS

Many people without realizing It
are in the habit of drinking tea at
much too high temperature, as Sir
Henry Thompson points out in his
book on "Diet In Relation to Age and
Activity"
Few persons are aware that they
habitually swallow hot liquids, tea
especially, at temperature which If
applied to the hands or feet would in
fiict painful scalds. Most tea drink
ers take it at about 40 to 145 de-
grees F., which the mouth bears very
well if slowly slipped, while the Gun
itself is too hot to be held by any
hand.
But the habit of swallowing such
tea is injurious to the stomach, and
1t ought not to be taken above 1870 de-
grees or so. Again, water at 100 de-
grees, which feels a little more than
lukewarm, causes severe pain if the
hand is dipped in it, and it cannot be
endured"
He has, however, some good words
to say for the early morning tea.
This morning tea in any case
should be taken at least an hour and
a half before the first meal of the
day. For many years have been ac-
customed to write or an hour every
morning in bed after tea, as am
doing at this moment, and at no time
do find the brain clearer for work,
while the appetite for solid food is
excellent when the hour for breakfast
arrives"

Andrew Carnegie, who Joined Col.
Roosevelt in promulgating the sim
plifed spelling propaganda, blames
the prejudices of the "old fogies'
connected with the big institutions OF
the country for the perpetuation of
the present confusing photography of
the nation. The Laird of Skibo Cas-
tie sympathizes with the girl stud
ents of Wellesley who were recently
publicly criticised for their use of
phonetic spelling. The rebuke admin
istered to the students brought forth
a statement from the Iron Master, in
which he says
"These young ladies were no doubt
taught first that though was pro-
nounced thou, with spelling in brack
cts to give the pronunciation; phys
les pronounced 'fisiks; taught pro-
nounced taut, ETC. Having become
accustomed to this natural way, no
wonder they find it difficult to spell
these words as they are still printed.
They are to be complimented upon
this, and if they continue their spell
ling as taut to pronounce, they will
soon improve our language.
"A leading institution recently had
before it the adoption of simplifed
spelling of it's reports, which are sent
out to other societies thruout the
world. Three of the directors, very
old but eminent men, were strongly
opposed thereto until they herd the
reasons for the change, when one said
oh, we admit you hav all the argu-
ments, and we have only our preju-
dices.' The resolution was carried.
"Only this morning l learnd that
the Modern Language Association OF
America had resolvd to use a large
number of simplified spellings in its
numerous publications. The work goes
bravely on.
Even the Smithonion Institution
has adopted many OF these already in
it's reports, and so has the Carnegie
Institution at Washington.
1T is the stupid, old fogy educa-
tionalists who force the teachers at
Wellesley to spell wrongly and annoy

MEXICO NOW CLAIMS TO HAVE
GREATEST OIL GUSHER ON EARTH

A strong company of oil men has
been formed to take up government
lands in the Lost Hills and Devils
Den districts for the purpose of ex-
ploring for gypsum. AS oil men are
not interested in gypsum it is pre-
sumed that il they discover oil on the
putative gypsum lands they will be
entitled to preference as oil locators
under any oil-leasing law that may be
passed by congress. Gypsum is a great
fertilizer, but it must take off its hat
to petroleum.
o. c. Heck and a company of oil
men have filed on six and a quarter
sections of Southern Pacific lands in
the Midway district for gypsum and
will proceed to explore it for oil. This
land has not been included in the with
drawal order of the President, and the
operators are confident that should
they discover oil upon it they will be
able to secure a patent, as the grant
by the government to the railroad
company exempts all minerals except
coal and iron.
Mexico Claims Record Gusher.
The report from the Potrero del
Llanos district of Mexico, about ninety
miles southwest of Tampico, that an
oil well brought in in that district on
January Sd beats the record of the
l.akeview gusher, may be taken with
several bushels of salt. It is stated
that ever since the oil sands were
struck the well has been flowing at
the rate Of 10000 barrels per day.
aud that the flow has been increasing
since the coming in of the well.
The we'll is the property of the Mex
lean Eagle Petroleum Company, Of
which Lord Cowdray, better known as
Sir Weetman Pearson, is the principal
owner.
This well is thirty miles south of the
Dos Bocas 1.-TWO mouths) gusher
which took fire about two years age
and burned for two months before the
fire was brought under control. The
output of this wonderful we'll was es
timated at 100000 barrels per day.
After the fire was extinguished it met
the fate of the Lakevlew and devel-
oped into a hot salt water geyser,
which now covers an area of more
than thirty-fve acres. Water is still
boiling from this cauldron at the rate
of several million barrels per day,
finding an outlet into a nearby lake.
Biologists have found that the for
nation underlying the oil stratum in
the Del Llanos district is solid stone
foundation 300 feet thick. This is con-
sidered as a freak. Oil was struck at
a depth of 1000 feet, making it the
deepest well ip Mexico.

AND
OLAA PROSPER

HILO, Feb. GOOD reports are
coming in throughout this district
from the sugar plantations and it
seems likely that in most instances the
estimates of the various managers
will be lower than the crop taken off.
Manager Webster of Pepeekeo is very
much pleased with the manner in
which the new machinery which has
been installed during the past few
months has been working and stated
on Tuesday that he expected to come
up to his estimate easily and would
probably run over to some degree. A
number of changes have been made
in the mill, and a much larger per-
centage of sugar will be obtained
from the cane than in the past, which
should mean good deal to the
plantation.
Good reports are coming in from
Olaa, though Manager Watt states
that he has nothing to say, having
made his final estimate in the annual
report of the company, which has not
yet been published. From other
sources, however, it is learned that
Olaa will have the largest crop on
record for the present season. 1t is
understood that about $4,000 tons is
figured as the production for this year
which will be well over 1000 tons
more than any crop which has been
taken off by that plantation.
may be counted upon TO excite wonder
and admiration. Benjamin Franklin
tried it out long ago and became the
sensation of Europe. General Grant
and Colonel Roosevelt got along COM
fortably in all sorts OF foreign compli-
cations merely by refusing to put on
DISCUSSES and to be play actors.
Mark Twain was probably the best
of our emissaries. He never waved
the starry banner and at the same
time he never went around begging
forgiveness. He knew the faults Of
his home people and he understood in
timately and with family knowledge
all of their good qualities and CROP
ing intentions and formed plans
for big things in the future; but ap-
parently he did not think it necessary
to justify all of his private beliefs to
men who lived 5000 miles away from
Hannibal, Mo. He had been in all
parts of the world and had made a
calm and unbiased estimate of the rel
ative values of men and institutions.
Probably he came to know that all
had been cut from one piece and then
trimmed variously He carried with
him the same placid habits of life
that sufficed him in Connecticut; and
because he was what he pretended 10
be the hypercritical foreigners dotted
upon him, and the Americans at home,
glad to flatter themselves, said, "Why,
certainly, he's one or us"

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Society eX-
perienced something of a rift in its
epiglottis this week over the discov-
cry that the Haymarket, for years one
of the notorious. joints in the tender
loin, is owned by DR.. Oliver Living
ston Jones, the present head OF one
OF the most prominent families in
town. The Joneses trace their ances-
try back before the Revolution. Mrs.
Jones is d colonial dame, a daughter
of the Revolution, and eligible for ad-
mission to every patriotic society In
the east, as is her husband. They
have a fine city residence on one of
the fashionable uptown streets, and
pretentious summer home at Colo
Spring Harbor, L. l. They move in
the best society and until recently
entertained lavishly. Coincident with
the discovery of the ownership OF the
Haymarket, which has been clouded
in mystery for many years, comes the
connection between that fact and the
burning of the country home of the
wealthy physician on August %, 1899.
On the evening of the fire a strange
woman got DR.. Jones on the tele-
phone in the Cold Spring house and
asked him if he was the owner Of
the Haymarket. "If you are, she
said, my spirit shall always pursue
YOU"
Before the physician could ascer-
tain her name she rang off. The
message was interpreted by him as an
ill omen and he worried over it for
hours until he could not stand the
strain any longer and left the house.
Servants, who were sent out to hunt
for him, found him long after mid
night in a dazed condition, wander
ing aimlessly about in the woods. AS
they were returning with him, the
cupola of the Jones mansion, in which
a lamp had been left burning as a
guide to him in the event of his re-
turning alone, burst into flames. Be
fore the local volunteer firemen could
reach the scene, the house, with its
art treasures, was burned to the
ground Since that time the physician
has been an invalid and has not been
seen except BY few of his more init
mate friends and relatives. The story
of the strange telephone message has
been kept a secret and came out only
the other day when an examination
of some old records revealed the own
ership of the Haymarket The au-
thor of the message is believed to be
a victim of the life for which the lat
ter resort has been conspicuous for
many years and to have sought ven
geance on it's owner in this singular
manner. In it's long career the lease
of the Haymarket has been held by
different persons who have steadfast-
ly refused to give any one the name
of the owner. At various times it has
been said on good authority that the
lease was worth half million year
to those who operated the hall under
it.
