Fly hOLbAND
 New York, April 22.-(SpechAp Three times in three years the corpora- tion of which Edgar Lewis Marston is president and of which he was the or ganizer as long ago as 1888, has in- creased it's capital stock by a million dollars, The latest increase is now an- nounced, and when completed win make the capital stock of this corpora ton s6.000,000.
 Ordinarily this would be a matter of little concern excepting to those who have personal interest in the corpora tion. But behind it stands a story of phenomenal and unexpected prosperity which is probably unmatched in the history of any American corporation The story can be told because there is no possibility of speculative movement behind the undertaking. If any one wanted to buy the Stock of this cor poration he would be compelled to pay $2150 for each share. Only now and then is share sold, and while the op- portunity for making large profits is a tempting one to a man of speculative UiSpOSilEpIs HeNtTtHeISSS, INere IS not now and cannot be any speculative ac- tivity in it.
 The experts who have been looking over the properties which are owned by the corporation named the Texas and Pacific Coal and Oil company re- port that there is reliable promise that they will yield a very large production of oil It has already been reported in this column that the discovery upon these properties was accidental and was due to the fact that President Marston was anxious to secure a suf- ticient supply of pure water for the mining town in which were the homes of the workers in the coal mines To do this he caused and artesian well to be drilled, and instead of water there at last spouted forth first natural gas and then oil .n amazing quantities.
 It is one of the most romantic of all the records which tell of unexpected de- velopment of wealth upon mining properties. It resembled the discovery in unsuspected places of rich deposits of precious metals The coal company which President Marston organized looked for no more than fairly profit able exploitation of coal mines in northern Texas. There was never a thought of oil

A pYAK MARRIAGE

It was draped in the softest eastern stuffs: jeweled anklets and bangles tinSled merrily. "A gauzy veil of wendrous workman ship swather the figure. but through it Piang recognized his beloved Papita.
 Slowly she approached; fearlessly sae raised her eyes to the man who awaited her Her little feet faltered, and Papita leaned heavily against the woman who supported her
 But at that moment Piang gave a strange whistle. three soft notes of q mina-bird floating over the barrie, and Papita became suddenly alive. Again the notes stole through the jungle. The bride threw back her veil.
 The unwilling maid seems to have forgotten her woe said one scornful woman to another.
 The priestess commenced the cere- mony that was to last all night It was filled with weird chants to which Papita responded with renewed Vigor. But her eyes furtively glanced toward a spot near the curve of the creek where Q slender reed swayed unceas- ingly.
 After several hours the priestess led the way to the water and Ynoch placed Papita in her gala yinta and pushed her out into the stream. He got into another and the two boa S nosed each other while the crowd showered them with oils and perfumes. When the command came to part. the boats shot off in opposite directions.

It Was Necessary

The years have proved that the Light Six type in general has not been strong enough This new car adds 50 per cent to the strength.
 The idea is permanent Here 75 per cent has been added to endurance.
 Men wanted lower operating cost. Here it is reduced 25 per cent by new inventions. Low-grade gasoline called for better vaporizing. Here it is accomplished in efficient ways.
 Men wanted more enduring finish. They wanted better tops. They wanted more room, com fort. This meets those ideas in a hundred novel ways.
