THE MIDLAND OIL AND DRILLING
COMPANY

Situated in the heart of the Lost Sol
dier oil fields of Carbon county, Wyo-
ming, and surrounded by some OF the
greatest oil producing wells in the
state, the Midland Oil and Drilling
Co., incorporated under Colorado
laws, with an authorized capital OF
$4,000, fully paid and worcestershire
is offering shares for it's development
work at a price that the poorest OF
the poor can become an investor.
Now is the opportune time as this
stock will advance rapidly and with
what promises to be huge specula-
tive possibilities there is every assur-
ance of a safe, sane, and sure invest
ment. The reliability of this COM
pany is unquestionable, as it is offl-
cered by reputable business men
whose integrity is well known and
whose business judgment is highly
commendable. 1t would serve not
only the people of this day. but d
great foundation for the success OF
their posterity if they purchase as
many shares as they can while they
are within their financial reach, as
the same can only result in the great
est advantage to them.

BANQUET FOR HIS "a WIVES
King Of Siam Gave Remarkable Feast,
the First and only One Of Its
Kind Ever Known.

1t was just 20 years ago that his
fate majesty, Somdet Phra ?armendir
Maha Chulalongkorn, gave a dinner
the first and only one Of its klnd-to
few of his favorite wives, 81 in num-
Der.
His majesry's father, King Mongkut,
dined every day seated alone and wait
ed upon by 100 kneeling wives. The
queen, also kneeling, tasted each dish
before presenting it to her lord. King
Chulalongkorn, inaugurating new
era, had his wives seated about his
royal table as guests and equals. The
walters and busboys were princes of
the blood royal.
The service was magnificent-the
plates of solid gold were worth kings
ransom. The knives, forks and spoons
were fashioned after queer old Siam
ese types of ornamentation found in
the ancient capital of Ayuthia. The
glass was engraved with his majesty's
monogram, inlaid with gold. The me-
nu cards were of the thinnest rice
paper with solid gold lettering. On the
table stood bouquets six feet in height,
Iuuue Ol uOluOuSe HOWeISs cLlul BCu "
hand to unusual size. For example,
the roses were gathered, the petals
pulled apart and sewn together again
with the finest of needles and silk
thread.
OF course one of the dishes was
birds nest soup, made of the famous
birds nests from the Malayan penin-
sula. A Siamese curry is always spe-
cial delight; this royal curry was
dish to remember. Served from gold
en- "Sombole" dishes were a dozen con-
diments-in addition to the curry prop
er-spices from India, grated coconut,
kopeek Qn which hot chilli predominant
ed), tamarind paste, mango chutney
and, best of all, Bombay duck" SUM-
dried jellyfish.
Siam is noted for the finest of reed
birds, dozens of which were roasted
and broiled. Deer for the dinner were
shot at Bangplasoi, and innumerable
varieties of other flesh-meats, as well
as of fish, We're served, including duck
lings and goslings from the royal farm.
For fruits there were oranges and ba-
nanas- especially ripened - mangoes,
mangosteens, pomegranates, custard-
apples, guavas, sapadillos and a load
of pineapples from Pineapple island,
near Singapore.
His late majesty was king-every
inch of him.-W. ]. Palmer, in Com
monwealth Idea.

That Did X.

His aunt was rich and elderly. She
had called, Unexpectedly, when he
was out, and his wife was trying to
entertain her by such methods as she
thought to be best conducive to their
future welfare.
The old lady had recently added
gramophone to her establishment, and
when she heard that early that morn
ing her loving nephew had made for
her a record of her favorite cornet
solo, she was delighted.
''How nice of him!" she said. "Can
hear it?'
"Well," said her niece, 1--WE haven't
tried it yet, but still, I'll put 1t on"
1t was a pronounced success, and the
old lady was charmed.
But her feelings when, after the
solo was finished, the instrument
brought out with fatal clearness:
"Phew If that's not good for an
extra hundred in the old girls will.
I'm a Dutchman"

ZIoN's GREAT SUCCESS.

Easter Sunday was the closing of
one of the most remarkable cam
paigns for soul-winning the Zion
Church has ever known. And the day
was fitting climax to series OF
meetings which have attracted the at
tention of the community in manner
unusual, to say the least.
Instead of the usual Easter pro-
gram, three baptismal services were
held, and the day was closed by
most happy Communion service, per-
haps the most largely attended in the
history of the church.
At 10 O'Clock Sunday morning the
Sunday school assembled in the main
auditorium of the church, and while
an appropriate program of song was
being rendered the pastor admins
tered the rite to those children who
had been made ready for the service.
At IL o'clock sermon on Baptism
was preached to an immense congre-
CATION at the close of which the wom-
en- candidates were led into the bap-
tismal waters.
Perhaps the most trilling and i'm
pressive service during the day was
noon, specially appointed for the bap-
tism of men. There have been few
occasions in the experience of the
church in which dramatic spiritual in
terest has reached a higher plane
than when one after another strong
men, weeping and confessing their
faith in Christ, were led into the crys-
tai waters to be buried with Him
by baptism into DEATH"
At the evening hour the sermon
was given by DR.. j. w. Anderson OF
New Jersey, following which the en-
tire church, including the new mem
bers, reaffirmed the covenant in
Christ Jesus, the hand of fellowship
was given, and all sat down to the
Table of the Lord" 1t was a glorious
day! The wonderful manifestation OF
Spirit, testifying the goodness Of
God, so reached the heart of the
church as to have baptised new
bond of fellowship in a flood of copi-
| Gus tears.
The days services gave us four ad-
ditional new members, Inree oI whom
confessed Christ for baptism. This
brings the total number to 101, eighty
of whom were candidates for bap-
| tism.
The campaign was remarkable in
that it developed a real heart move
ment in the church toward personal
evangelism, and the great success
was due in large measure to the
prayer and activity of large number
of individuals organized in groups for
definite service. Unsaved men and
women were prayerfully chosen as
subjects to be brought to Christ, and
the glorious experience which ran
throughout the meetings came
through the definite answer of the
Father to the plea of his children.
Men ordinarily thought to be be-
yond reach were melted into submis-
sion by the power of prayer. This
has given to the church faith and
courage to go forward, and the pray
erful expectation is that many more
will fall before the archers of the
Kingdom.
