connected has quit drilling anu is only
taking care of about $500 barrels
daily production and working on the
big terminal at Tampico, where 1t Is
erecting some twenty $1,000 barrel
tanks. he edos that his company lis
composed mainly of Dutch and he
afraid they are somewhat resentfuli
toward Americans on account Of the,
United States policy Of not recoeniz-.
Ing debts and concessions Of the Hu-:

Mr.. Wilson writes that spresi-

Mexico and kept placed long enough
TO grow fast and long enough to put
into effect certain number Of re-
forms which will cement the founda-

large land owners, for they will have
to be taxed. That will raise a howl

Minister Deserts Vile.
1t is said that feeling against the
couple is extremely bitter In Tucker
county, due to the fact, tbs said, that
the minister deserted an invalid wife
and daughter, aged about thirteen
years. Residents of that section Of

that the charge be pushed against
him.

a month ago, and we're held in jail
over night awaiting orders from the
Tucker county authorities. No charge
was preferred against them at that
time, and they were dismissed. It
was thought that they left the. city,
hut it was learned yesterday that
they have been here ever since.
Chipps had secured employment in
the packing room OF the shipping de-
partment Of the Hazel-Atlas Glass
Company. and I, has been working
there under the name of Emery Hall

1t is said that Chipps has been an
ordained minister in the Methodist
Protestant church for about sixteen
years, and has had charge of several
large congregations. It is said that
he could fight almost as we'll as he
could preach, and on one occasion

Whitcomb Riley Said

When a man amt got cent, and
he's feeling kind O. blue
An the clouds hang dark and heavy
an won't let the sunshine
through;
It's a great thing. o my brethren
for a feller just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder in a
friendly sort of way;
1t makes a man feel queerish, ii
makes the tear drops start,
An you sort O. feel patter in the
region of your heart;
You can't look up and meet his eyes;
you don't know what to say,
When his hand is on your shoulder
in friendly sort of way;
o, the worlds a curious compound
with its honey and it's gall,
With it's care and bitter crosses, but
good world after all;
An a good God must have made it
leastways that is what l say
When a hand is on my shoulder in {

Unpleasant Details.

Some time ago an esteemed citi-
zen named Smith had a number of
friends to dinner, and just as he
braced himself and started to carve
the appetizing roast an expression
of remembrance floated over the face
of little Willie.
"Oh. papa impetuously exclaim-
ed the youngster. Il forgot to tell
you. Cook burned her nose some
thing awful
You don't mean it," was the
startling rejoinder of Willie. "She
was trying to pull out the skewers
with her teeth"

that breakfast foods are a modern
invention, dating back mebby 20
years or so; and Old Zimri Skaggs
argues that they had 'em when he
was boy so years ago, and tries to
prove it by quotin' some poetry that
runs like this: "A youth went
through the village twice. and car
ried through the snow and ice a ban
