More Oil Wells in Argentina.

Nine new wells are now producing
in the Argentina oil fields, making the
total number of wells %. These wells,
it is calculated, should give a total

about $955,000 during the year. Up
to December 81 last proceeds Of sales
had brought in $4,000. Even assum-
ing that the results anticipated above

Game of consequences.

Any number of persons can play
consequences" The players are seat
ed around a table, and each is given
a piece Of paper and pencil. Each
one writes at the very top of the pa
per "His name was -" filling the
blank with any boys name he chooses.
The top Of the paper is then folded
over to hide the name, and the paper
is handed to the player on the right.
Then, under the other name, each
player writes "Her name was -"
folds the top down and passes it on to
the player on the right. Each then
writes ''He said -" folds the paper
and passes it on. Then each writes
"She said -" on the next paper,
"The people said" ON the next paper
"The consequence was -" each time
filling the blanks with his own words.
Each player must connect what he
writes on one paper with what he
writes on the next. After the conse-
quences are written the papers are
passed on. and then each unfolds his
paper. Then each takes it in turn to
read his paper. The results are anus
ing, as they are very disconnected.

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood, that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
pale,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; in
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism; and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause Of disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enricher of the blood the
world has ever known. 1t has been
wonderfully successful in removing
scrofula and other humors, increasing
the red-blood corpuscles, and building
up the whole system. Get it today.

Amber.

Amber is the name of a fossil gum.
We say "a fossil gum" because it
seems to be the remains of former
age. From its peculiar qualities the
Roman called it electrum.
This gum is found in the ground,
and, as it seemed to be a crystallized
substance, it is called mineral.
Amber was originally generated from
a species Of pine and fire tree, just as
turpentine is now produced from GER
tain pine and fir trees in our country.
AS the gum oozed out of the trees it
flowed down to the roots of the trees,
where it lay in large deposits. A for
est undisturbed for centuries would
produce extensive fields of this gum.

At the gates of the Spirit Land.
And know while adrift with the wreckage
In the reek of life's turbulent sea,

Is waiting and watching for me.

Their gloom on my wavering sight,
