Project on Foot to Erect Memorial to
Edwin L. Drake. Who Sunk the
First OIL Well.

Fifty-four years ago, OF, to be exact,
on August 81 1859. oil was struck in
western Pennsylvania at spot
which bore the picturesque name OF
Pithole, now a deserted village, but
at one time the scene OF epoch-mak-
ing activities.
The man who discovered oil by Dor
ing for II was a picturesque charac-
ter, Of an adventurous disposition, by
the name Of Edwin L. Drake, widely
known under the title Of Colonel He
had observed traces OF oil on the sur
face Of a stream near Titusville and
he resolved to sink a well to secure
this commodity in larger quantities
and to replace the crude methods
which the Indians Of western Penn
sylvania employed. They immersed
blankets to secure the lubricant,
more, however, on account Of the
medicinal qualities of the crude oil
than for its commercial values and
uses.
It is proposed by the people OF
Titusville, OIL City and other cities in
the oil regions TO erect a monument
to Drake to mark the spot where the
first oil well was sunk. A Drake
memorial museum has already been
established at Titusville.
The history Of the early production
of oil in the oil regions of western
Pennsylvania reads like a romance,
and It is, indeed, a romance, founded.
however, on the most solid structure
of fact.
1t is a fact that the discovery Of oil
was one of the most vital in the his
tory Of the United States. 1t seems
fitting that some shaft or monument
should mark the place where Drake
had the precedence to sink the first
oil well, which increased so amazingly
the wealth of this country and added
so much to the comforts of life.-Wau
Street Journal.

The Same, But Different.

An artist relates that a newly be-
trothed lover commissioned him to
paint certain secluded nook in the
rocks on the shore. because there he
had declared his passion.
The picture was painted, but before
1t was done the lover said to the
artist:
"Of course, I VIII see you through

is off, and, naturally, # would be
painfully suggestive to me. II Won

rangement. but within a week his
patron presented himself.

take that picture"

renewal of your ngagement?" the

A SHORT STORY---BYF. ST. MARS

bigger around in the middle than big
mans body.
1t was a blow from this monsters tail
which had knocked the lion silly. See
ing that the lion had come down upon
the snake with all his terrible talons
extended, swift retaliation was hardly
to be wondered at.
Then, however, the lion did a foolish
thing 1t may have been through ter
ror or 1t may have been through rage
I can not say. Anyway he grapped
with the coiling serpents body. In
Stantly the monster went for him with
a hiss. striking a blow with his blunt
head, like a battering ram, that would
have easily stunned any ordinary beast.
What happened then is not known, for
the dust rose up in a cloud and hid the
fighters The noise of the conflict, how
ever. was awful, and II could he heard
even by the gathered herds out on the
plains so that it set them galloping and
stampeding right and left.
But next day, and for many days to
come the animals came to drink in
peace and safety The monster python
was lying mangled and dead, all twisted
up in knots, and there was no lion at
aI1-at least no recognizable lion. only
something crushed almost to jelly. that
might perhaps by a great stretch Of i'm
agination have once been king of beasts.

Then the moon came up, and the lion

herd were on the alert. and began to
move away from cover They knew that
a lion does his hunting in silence, and
that when roaring he is not actually
dangerous. Directly the king of the
wild was dumb, however. It was a case
OF look out all. No beast knew where.
under cover OF the night, he would turn
up next-certsinly in the most unex-
pected spot.
Following upon that. for no less than
two hours not sound broke the still
ness OF the wilderness. save the pecu-
liar neigh OF the zebras-and they are
rarely quiet Indeed. it almost looked
as II the lion had gone in some other d.
rection that night, and a troop of beau
tiful Tyre horned Grants sazeIles-they
are far the largest gaEelles-were at
length so overcome by thirst as to risS
the terror by the water.
1t was a wonderful and pretty sight t.
see them advancing to the pool, string
ing In and out among the mimosas,
stopping every few yards to look and
listen and test the air with their keen
noses. An old and cunning doe led, and
the master buck, who looked almost
top-heavy by reason Of his big horns
brought up the rear.
They reached the water and eagerly
dashed in to drink as quickly as pos

lion had followed. and behind him
again a lonely ostrich-all keenly on the
alert and anxious TO see how the ga

not been for one small fact. Just as all

on the end Of the lions tail was bobbiing
from side to side outside the bush in

he gave vent to one wild warning
neigh and was off at full canter, the
monster bird Of the desert racing along
side Of him well aware of what his
warning spoke. At the alarm the
gazelles flung up their heads, and with
out a second hesitation gave an immense
bound. which was followed by bound
upon bound. calculated to confuse any
foe And at the same instant the lion
sprang.
He had aimed for the beautiful buck
gazelle. but did not find him there. AS
the lion sprang the gaEelle leapt, and

lion, who possessed Considera Bile speed

age silence. He proceeded in a series
Of mighty bounds, the gazelles now GO
ing away in long even leaps just ahead.
Suddenly he saw the leading gazelle,
the old doe. give prodtgious bound as
if springing over something in her path.
Instantly each member of the troop on
reaching the same spot acted in a pre-.
cisely similar manner, leaping high over
nothing. just as you will see a line Of
sheep do coming out Of a gateway. And
now you will know one of the reasons
why the habit, which has been handed
down to our domestic sheep from their
wild ancestors, was formed.
The lion knew nothing about these
things. He knew only that he had al
most caught his prey up and he landed
bang on the spot over which the gazelles,
even in fun flight. had so carefully
sprung. AS he did so, il seemed to him
as II he was coming down on the trunk
Of a tree which was lying stretched
across between two trees right in the
path.
Next instant he was on his back. with
all the wind knocked out Of him, and
long drawn venomous hiss ringing in
his ears. The trunk of the tree was the
blotched and speckled body of an enro-
nous python. lying fun length in the
moonlight. and as still as only a snake
