Great Excitement Follows Strike il

~ lNOi y
Tulsa Okla. June 21.-There is
great excitement in oil circles as the
result Of the striking of a big oil
we'll almost adjacent to the limits ot
this city on the south. The we'll
flowed 500 barrels the second day af-
ter it came in. Land that two weeks
ago would not bring $50 an acre is
selling at from $500 to $500 an acre
and leases are commanding fabulous
prices. in some instances $500 and
5000 an acre. What adds interest 10
this discovery is that the we'll was
drilled but a few yards from dry
hole in territory that for years had
been considered valueless for an oil
proposition. Producers predict the
DAY IS not far distant when many
abandoned sections OF the oil country
in Oklahoma will be drilled over again
with surprising results. The only fear
IS that a great pool OF oil will be
uncovered, thus flooding the market
and causing the price OF Gil TO drop.

Mail Carrier Badly Injured

Madison Roberts, one of the
mail carriers between this place
and Smithville, was seriously in
jured Saturday evening a shoru
distance east of this place when
he was bringing in the mail.
When he started down the hill
east of town a trace on one of the
mules he was driving was loosen
ed and Mr.. Roberts got out of
the rig and stopped down to re-
place it. The mule gave him a
terrific kick in the face breaking
both the upper and lower bones
of the left jaw and otherwise cut
ting and mutilating his face and
head. He was able to get back
into his rig and bring the mail to
the residence of his son, Harry
Roberts, on High Street, who
brought it on to the office. Med
ical attention was summoned and
all that was possible to relieve
his suffering was done. He is
still in a very serious condition,
but hope gor his recovery is en-
tertained.
Mr.. Roberts is one of the best
citizens of this county. being
formerly a resident of Nobe.
He has carried the Smithville
mail for several years and is very
efficient and accommodating. His
many friends hope for his speedy
recovery from the nasty injuries.

DIRECTOR OF ROYAL KITCHEN
King Georges Chef, Among Other At
tributes, Is Noted for His Excess
siVe PunctuaIity.

One of the remarkable men in the
employ Of King George of England
is his chef. Punctuality is his most
striking characteristic, and he has
the reputation of being tho most
punctual man in Great Britain. Just
as Big Ben, in the tower of the
houses of parliament announces
eleven o'clock, an automobile stops in
front of Buckingham palace, and a
man, who appears to be about fifty
years old, alights. He is neatly
dressed in the latest Bond street
fashion, and always wears high
silk hat, He also wears gold spec
tacles. On entering the palace he
goes to the kitchen. All the cooks
and dishwashers, on seeing him, take
off their white hats and stand at
attention. The chef takes his place
at a small dosk, and the menu of
the king, after passing the inspec-
ton of Lord Farquhar, is brought
TO him, He studies the menu a few
minutes, turns it over to the "sous-
chef" and leaves the palace. Ex-
actly at 500 p. IN. he returns, end
then takes charge of the preparation
of the kings dinner. He oversees
the undercooks, ordering them to do
this OF that, like a voritable COM
mander-ln-chief Sometimes, but
very rarely, the kings chef takes a
hand himself in the preparation of
a special sauce or Of one of the kings
fayorite dishes Iis exactitude is
proverhial, He never arrives at the
palace minute too soon, nor does
ne leave a minute behind time.
