"Plseins". the Prisoner.--Not SO
many years ago State Senator Gotti-
fried H. wende Of New York, used to
be a police magistrate in Buffalo. 1t
was at that time that he grew his gray
side whiskers. A story that he en-
joys telling on himself is this:
well, one day a young man was
brought in, and he looked mighty IA
miliar to me, and / said to him: Young
man, haven't you been in this court
before?" And he said: No, your
honor But 1 couldn't believe him, his
face looked so familiar And 1 looked
him over again and said to him:
Young man. are you sure you've
never been arrested and been in this
court .before?' And the fellow said:
No, your honor; this is the first time
I was ever arrested
And l looked him over again, and
the police looked him over, and the
clerk looked him over, and finally
said: We'll. young man, you certainly
look honest, but can hardly believe.
Yeur face is so familiar to me. Where
do you work.
And he said: Why, your honor,
don't You remember me? I'm tending

THIS product, which commercially Is
known as petroleum, was not utilized
IN the United states until 1859, when
Inc production amounted to 1000 bar
res, and practically ali this was used
TOR medicinal purposes. AS Is well
known, Pennsylvania and New York
were the oH-producing states up to
1875, the output for the entire United
States amounting to but 100000
barrels during the first sixteen years,
and this was during the great oil ex-
citement days.
The annual production now runs up
to more than 2OO,000,O0O barrels. and
the demand exceeds the production,
which explains why oil has advanced in
price more than 100 per cent during
the last eighteen months.
1T was thought at one time that Pc
troleum belonged to the fossil or car
boniferous family; later on scientists
claimed that 1t came from vegetation,
and today the opinion is that petrole-
um comes from animal matter. There
has been but little production of late,
and an exaggerated opinion has become
prevalent over the Mexican output be-
cause some big gushers have been
struck in that country. The trouble
with most Of the Mexican wells is that
you are apt to lose one over night, and
the man who has q 2o-barrel producer
on Wednesday may wake up Thursday
morning and find he has a dry hole.
There is a peculiar underground float
ing sand in Mexico which shuts in pro-
ducing oil wells and makes production
in that country very uncertain. Okla
homa is the state for the highest grade
oil and California for the fuel oil, but
where the start comes from beats me" =

Nothing to Fear.-Cato Sells, the
new commissioner of Indian Affairs,
told a story to a Washington bunch
the other night in demonstrating that
our fears are often quite groundless.
On entering fashionable cafe in
one OF the, big. eastern cities some time
ago, Mr.. Sells said, doctor was amaz-
ed to see one of his patients happily
plowing his way through a layout OF
beef. Instantly he speeded to his side.
What in the world are you doing,
Smith," demanded the doctor in his
severest voice. Didn't tell you not
to cat beefsteak?"
You certainly did, Doc" frankly
admitted the patient, but everything
is all right. There is no occasion for
alarm"
You are disobeying my orders!"
heatedly explained the doctor. Il want
YOU to understand"
Don't get excited, Doc!" interject-
ed the patient. LAS 1 said before,
there is no occasion for it. I can easily
settle for the steak and pay your bill
too."-Philadelphia Telegraph.

a public school teacher recently, and
1t has come to be my honest conviction
that the average youngster needs

the good of his soul; that certainly
does quicken his moral sense as moth
ing else will. Here is an illustration:

sorbed, even fascinated, by my line OF

Not Headed That Way.-A good
many years ago steamer was sailing
down the river, with a shrewd old
Yankee captain in command. Sud
denly the engines stopped, and there
was nothing doing for several min
utes. The passengers began to talk II
over among themselves, and one OF
them, portly, persistent sort of per-
son.. advanced pompously to the cap
tain. -..
What seems to be the trouble

stopped?"

Scot Met Seot.-The following Scotch
tale is one Of President Wilson's IA
vorites:
A Scotchman was strolling through
the market place in Glasgow one day
and close at his heels followed his
faithful collie. Attracted by a fine
display Of shell and other fish, the
Scot stopped to admire. perhaps to
purchase. The dog stood by. gently
wagging its tail, while its master en-
gagged the fishmonger in conversation.
Unfortunately for the beast its tail
dropped for a moment over big bas-
ketful Of fine, live Holsters. Instantly
one of the largest Holsters snapped its
claws on the tail, and the surprised
collie dashed of through the market,
yelping with pain, while the lobster
hung grimly on, though dashed vio-
lently from side to side. The fish
monger for a moment was speechless
with indignation; then, turning to his
prospective customer, he bawled:
mon! mon! whustle to yer dog,
whustle to yer dog!"
"Hoot, mon," returned the other
complacently, ''whustle to yer lobster!

FARMERS VISIT COBB

Oscar E. Fulghum and other promi-
nent farmers in this city visited the
Office of Agricultural Agent Cobb to-
day at the court house. Mr.. Fulghum
was formerly manager of the Rich

detrimental work along agricultural
lines Various kinds of fertilizers are
used, and all kinds of crops raised in
small quantities. Experiments are
being. made with soy beans, Canadian
field peas, sweet clover, alfalfa and
vetch. A field of corn, which was fer
tilted, is two feet higher than one
which was not.
Richard Sedgwick reported yields
of alfalfa which are unusual. A field
was planted in this form Of feed eleven
years ago, and Mr.. Sedgwick stated
that the field is in as good condition
as this time as before. He cut the
largest crop from the field this spring
which was the thirty-second crop cu
without having reseeded the field Of
even blowing it.

UNCLE SAM MAKES
A PROTEST TODAY
(National News Association)

MEXICO CITY, July 12.-Formal
protest was lodged today by the Unit
ed States Government against the &C
ton of the Mexican government in al
lowing the Mexican press to stir up
anti-Ameriman feeling. Two notes
were presented by Ambassador Will
son. At the same time denial was made
that United States warships in the
harbor at Guaymas used their wireless
and searchlights to aid the rebels.
These publications have resulted in
scattered demonstrations and rioting
but no arrests have been made. No
tees have been posted in the schools
here for the children to secure small
Japanese flags to parade in a pro-
cession to welcome the new Japanese
ambassador upon his arrival.
Ell Pals today published a full page
picture of Fridays anti-American dem
onstration by students. On the editor
ial page the newspaper said. 1--WE see
in Japan future ally and defender OF
our independence because such an al
lance would be dangerous to the Unit
ed States"

ANOTHER ATTEMPT
TO SECURE DECREE

"The second attempt of Elsie Gray
to secure a divorce from Paul Gray
was successful this morning. Charges
of abandonment were made by the
plaintiff An attempt was made to Sc
cure divorce from the defendant sew
eral months ago on the grounds OF
cruel and inhuman treatment though
the court refused the decree at the
time as the plaintiff was unable to
prove the charges alleged. The defen-
dant has been living apart from the
plaintiff for more than two years as is
necessary in case the decree was
granted on charges of abandonment.
Mrs. Gray told the court she was
married July 80. 1910, and lived with
her husband eight months After he
deserted her he wrote her letter tell
ing her he was going to have good
time and for her to do the same, she
said She also told the court that her
mother was compelled to take in wash
ing to support the family.

ANOTHER CHAPTER
To THE ROBBER|ES

What is supposed TO be another
chapter added 10 the record of robber-
les through a fence" at Fort Wayne
which had its beginning in the arrest
of Samuel Miller and Theodore Craig
who are charged in Richmond with
grand larceny, was recorded with the
arrest of a Pennsylvania brakeman
and several express sorters at Fort
Wayne The brakeman and sorters are
held under ST. 900 bonds and will face
a petit larceny charge in the Fort
Wayne city court next week.
The men are Brakeman Clarence S.
Stoner and Express SOrters A. G..
Guenther, Martin Malone and James
Underwood. All live in Fort Wayne
with the exception of Underwood who
gave his residence as Chicago.
The sorters were employees of the
Adams Express Company and are said
to have been stealing from the COM
pany since last January. They are
charged with taking goods worth $4,-
900. Captain Stoll of the Pennsylvania
railroad has been investigating with
express company detectives and OBJ
tanned confession from each OF the
men with the exception of Malone who
it is believed will make a confession
of the theft soon. Malone and Under
wood probably will be charged in the
federal court with violation of the Car
lin act which makes it a felony to
tamper with interstate express pack
ages.
The articles reported missing were
taken from the car in which the sort
ers were working. Practically all the
stolen stuff consists of wearing APP
parel.
The officials believe that these men
are members of the car robbers who
have been stealing thousands of dol
lars from the G. r. & l. and the Penn
sylvania railroads. Miller's and Craig S
arrests were the first These men were
brought here and later released on
bond. The date has not been set for
their trial.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced 1t a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar.
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails
to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
