Gently stated that he would defer fin

THE LURE OF THE UNKNOWN

I've often wondered. for the nonce,
What people do when they ensconce.
I've sat on softs and ON chairs,
On davenports and on the stairs,
On hammocks and piazza swings;
On ruined thrones Of ancient kings.
But, whether upon this or that.
I've sat on sofas and on chairs,
And ere I'm laid upon the shelf,
I'm anxious to ensconce myself.
It's often done in story-books-
Mostly editions de luxe.
Where ladies Of patrfcian mien,
Attired in robes OF silken sheen,
Ensconce themselves on divans rich,
Behind the arras-in q niche
Cor some such place, at any rate:
I am not sure have 1t straight)-
And when they are ensconced, they meet
Some great adventure-dire or sweet.
OF course, count such things as naught
Twas but passing. idle thought.
But I'd ensconce just once to see
What then would happen unto me!

A Good Investment

Oil is the greatest money maxi
err and Oklahoma is the greatest
field in the United States in the
value of her oil productions, to.
falling over $1,000,O00 income
weekly. Glenn Pool and other
Oklahoma fields made million
aires rapidly when oil was sell
ing at thirty-fve cents per bar
rel. Now the price is more than
double. Fortunes are accumu-
lated almost between the rising
and setting of the Sun in the
great Mid-Continent field of
Oklahoma.
When one considers that the
state produces more than ST. ,000,-
600 week, that wells can be
drilled in from six to twenty
days, and often these wells pay
for hemselyes within week af-
ter drilling, that the owner of a
single forty or eighty acres of
land frequently has an income of
$4,000 to $4,000 a day and that
stock bought in Company at
$1,00 or $1,000 a share is many
times worth $4,000 to $4,000 a'
share within year, ones brain
reels at the thought. And yet
this is the history of many in
diyiduals in the state of Okla
homa that reads like some fairy
tale. The gold fields of Califor-
MIA in their palmiest days are
left. far in the rear; the great gold
awakening in Alaska is forgot
ten; the diamond fields of, kim
berley in South Africa pale into
insignifcance. Nothing in the
history of civilized mankind has
aided man in accumulating for
tunes so rapidly as the oil and
gas interests of the great Mid
Continent field in the State of
Oklahoma,
Here even children of" the
wbIte, Indian and negro races
who have had a, small piece of
land left to them through lnheri-
lance have frequently an income
of $4,000 to 100000 per day from
royalties, while the Oil Company
that is developing their land is
frequently making 100 per cent
a month. Language fails TO ex-
press the reality and even eye
witnesses can hardly believe the
marvellous facts of production of
oil.
Anumber Of strong Companies
have been organized and are OPP
Grating. Among these is the
Great Western Petroleum Com
pany of Tulsa, Oklahoma, incor-
porated under the laws of Okla
homa for 81, 100000 with strong
directorate of business men,
three of whom are experienced
and practical oil men, which is
now offering 100000 shares of
their stock at the par value of
S1.00, stock to be sold in blocks
of five shares and upward.
Those who desire to know
something more of the great oil
interests are invited to address
B. ], Waugh, the Stock Sales
Manager of the Great Western
Petroleum Company, Tulsa,
Oklahoma, and make inquiries or
get the published literature of
this Company giving its holdings
and other facts and figures as to
the real condition of the oil in
terests in the State Of Oklahoma.

Old People Need
 A Bowel Stirnulant
The Ideal One is a Mild Laxa- tive Tonic that Will Keep the Bowels Gently
 Active.

Healthy old age is absolutely de- pendent upon the condition of the bowels that great care should be taken to see that they act regularly. The fact is that as age advances the stomach muscles become weak and inactive and the liver does not store up the juices that are necessary to
 prompt digestion.
 Some help can be obtained by eat
 ing easily digested foods and by
 plenty of exercise, but this latter is
 irksome to most elderly people. One
 thing is certain, that a state of con-
 stipation should always be avoided, as it is dangerous to life and health.
 The best plan is to take mild laxa- tive as often as is deemed necessary. But with equal certainty it is sug- gested that eathartics, purgatives. physics. salts and pills be avoided, as so harsh as to be shock to a, delicate system.
 A much better plan and one that thousands of elderly people are fol lowing, is to take a gentle laxative tonic like Dr. CaldWelIs Syrup Pepsin, which acts as nearly like nature as 1 is possible. In fact, the tendency of this remedy is to strengthen the ston- ach and bowel muscles and so train them to act naturally again, when medicines of all kinds can usually be dispensed with. This is the opinion of many people of different ages | among them Mrs. Mary A. P. David son, of University Mound Home, Sar Francisco. Cal. She is 7S and because
