GREAT EXCITEMENT
IN NEW OIL. FIELD
OIL FORCED PLUG IN FRANKLIN
NO. / YESTERDAY AFTER
NOON.

There was great excitement at In,
new oil field west of Healdton yester-
day afternoon when the well on tn,
Apple and Franklin property forcel
the plug that had been placed in the
| well after drilling ceased last wee
and the oil began gushing over the
top of the casing. e.
When the drillers Lad penetrated
the sand a short distance they strucR
what they believed TO be a elisher
but as they were not prepared 20 han
die one at that time drilling ceased
and the well was plugged with a
large tree trunk. Now the oil has
risen and forced this plug out of place
and oil is flowing over the ground
in stream.
Mr.. Apple vixen seen this morning
stated that Mr.. Critchlow arrived
yesterday and he and his partner
had left early this morning for the
field to make an investigation and
prepare to store the oil and plug the
well again If possible until machin-
cry could be installed to handle the
output. He states that tank will
be constructed to store the oil and
temporary arrangements made to con
serve it.
The Red River Oil company have
made all arrangements for putting
down three more wells ON the Apple
and Franklin property and work will
begin at once. The Humble company
is also preparing to drill on their
property in the new field. There is
still a freuzied scramble for leases
and some holders are selling out at
big profit. While this is true in
some instances there are many that
are not for sale at any price as The.
holders intend to begin operations
themselves. Apple and Franklin have
been offered fancy prices for tkeir
holdings but Mr.. Apple stated this
that inasmuch as he and his
partner had spent considerable time !
and money in securing holdings in the |
field and getting it developed that |
they were satisfied with the outlook
and We're not in the market at the /
present time. This morning several !
autos loaded with oil men left the .
city for the field and others are ar
irving on every train.
Owners and lessons in this field are
that it win rival that Of

ed from many sources it is practically
certain that great many wells will
be sunk within the next few weeks

Task for Naval Officers.

Naval officers are not often called
upon to perform such a delicate task
as that set out in a circular which
emanates from the French ministry of
marine. 1t runs thus:
Ruyter Warfusse has bequeathed to
the town of Houlon a legacy destined
to promote marriage between an or
phan girl of good character and a
sailor of proved sobriety, the former
to be selected by the mayor of Toulon
and the latter by the senior captain of
the squadron of vessels now anchored
at Toulon.
Would-be candidates for the legacy
must send a statement Of their qualif-
cations accompanied by documentary
evidence to this officer not later than
December 25. ,
The couple selected must, according
to the terms Of the will, be married
on the forthcoming feast of the Epi-
phany and undertake to have at have
at least four children.-New Yorl

Female LONGEVITY.

Women are living longer than they
did twenty-five years ago, but the
doctors aren't agreed on the reason.
Though all admit it isn't due to the
spread of the suffrage movement, they
are widely divided in their opinions
about it. Statistics compiled in Eng
land show that the expectation of life
of a woman of fifty is a year greater
than it was in 1875, while that of a
man is only a few months, greater.
One school of doctors, who believe
that death is due entirely to a wearing
out of brain tissues, says the greater
longevity Of women is due to the fact
that they don't use their brains as
much as men. On the other side Of
the scientific fence is q group Of doc
tors who insist that woman lives
longer now because she is nor shell
tered than man; doesn't have to face
the wearing competition Of business
that he has to endure and that she
spends most Of her time at home,
which is more airy and healthful thar
the offices where men work.

might be fatal.
In Kansas City lives a crack but ex

had been in the habit of beating a fat
and phlegmatic friend until the latter

Good Nature and Humorous Tongue.

Good Nature and Humorous Tongue.
In a village of about five thousand
inhabitants in Tioga county, New
York, a modest fortune has been
amassed by a man who at the age of
forty-ive left the navy without even
a trade to fall back upon and no as
sets except a humorous turn to his
tongue.
Having done some cobbling when a
young man, he entered a shoe store
for a time and later set up a little
shop of his own for repairing shoes.
That was ten years ago. His good ma
ture and industry won him the trade
of the town; a newly acquired habit
of thrift promted him to buy on the
installment plan the little shop and
house in which he lived.
Today a fine brick building is re-
placing the wooden one and the cob
bier himself may give up his last If
he wishes. But that he has no dis
like for it is evidenced by his recipe
for success, which is:

WRITTEN BY ONE WHO KNOWS
and Also In Their Less Harmful
Moments of Leisure.


Humorists are people who cut, At
and finish jokes. jests and light verse
and do plain and fancy writing which
Is not serious.
Male humorists do this by lighting
a pipe or a cigar, sticking a sheet Of
paper into a typewriter and wishing
they had adopted a mercantile career.
Female humorists accomplish the
feat by twisting their back hair into
a knot, nibbling chocolate creams or
chewing some gum, and manipulating
the typewriter in the customary man.
ner.
AS a general thing, nowadays,
humorists are very human. There
are more Of them than there used to
be. The women dress like their sis
tiers, and the men Ire perfectly con-
ventional in their attire.
Occasionally you come cross an
old-school humorist, or a modern one
who clings to the old-school tradi-
tions. He imagines that he has to
wear a most solemn face, never smiles,

what he says. This variety goes great
on the rural lyceum circuit.
Humorists are always introduced as
such. Plumbers, housebreakers, bank
ers, dry goods men and wholesale gro
GERS are never classified when intro
duced, but humorists are always spe-
Gifted. Immediately the persons to
whom they are introduced wait expec-
family for them to say something wild
ly witty. Immediately, also, they are
disappointed, unless they are of the
class who shrek with JOY when the
humorist politely says: ut is a nice
day"
Humorists always have to explain
why they are humorists instead of fol-
lowing some more laborious occupa-
ton. Also they are expected to de-
liver ~afterdinner speeches for nothing,
because being funny is second nature
to them, and they are not supposed to
have any remunerative way of spend
ing their odd moments.
The difference between a humorlst
and a comedian is that a comedian
uses the humorist's humor. If the
humorist used the comedians humor
he would starve to death. Another diff
ference is that the comedian makes
from three hundred to five hundred
dollars q week.-Life.
