A field report from the Lusk field 10
that the well of the Glenrock OIL Com
pany, on the eastern end OF the struc-
ture, is drilling at 1850 feet The com
pany also is spudding In two other
wells In the same neighbOrhood, one
on The southwest quarter OF section 81
and second ON the southwest quarter
of section "a.
Reports confirming the new oil
strike on Mule Creek dome, thirty
miles northwest of the Lusk field have
been received. This was test well
sunk by Elmer Green In behalf of joint
interests, and is important as opening
Il new Wyoming oil structure. 1t is re-
ported that no less than thirty rigs are
on the ground and that a rush drilling
compaign will soon be under way, now
that the test well has been completed.
A report from Lusk confirmed re-
port that the Midwest Refining Com
pany, drilling on section 20, an offset
to the Ohio Oil Company's discovery
well on section SO, has passed through
the first sand, found In the Ohio well
at 2,6iO feet, at about the same depth,
but had encountered oil In greater
quantity than did the Ohio drillers.

Life at best seems only patchwork
By the time the artist learns to paint

the thing in his heart for which. all
his life, he had been preparing. BY
the time the business man has earned
enough money to keep him in comfort
for the rest of his days he has often
lost the capacity 10 enjoy the fruits OF
his labor. When the mother has raised
her boy to manhood her offspring
leaves her for the sake of someone
he loves better, and BY the time the
man learns to really appreciate his
mother she is taken from him. Moth

tensively advertised. all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason il plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to q medicine;
A medicinal preparation that has rel
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy IL
recommended by those who have keen
benefited. to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has SO large. q

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric

"HE custom Of presenting
Easter eggs, like SO many
other graceful customs orig
mated probably in China.
The following story accounts for the
use Of colored eggs by the Chinese:
Wen Kung, one Of the wisest rulers
0f the Tsin dynasty, to elude the
murderous snares Of Li-Ki, his fathers
favorite wife, was compelled to fee
from his capital. Phu. In his flight
he was accompanied by his faithful
friend, Kiai-Tse-Tu. When. after an
absence of 10 years, the emperor. in
825 B. O.. again returned to power.
Kiai obstinately refused all the re-
wards offered him. and, to escape the
urgent solicitations Of his grateful
sovereign, hid himself with his mother
in the Nian.Shang-Shnng ("Cotton
Mountains"). The prince. after long,
vain search. gave him up for lost, and,
in memory Of his answering devotion,
changed the name of the mountains
into that they now actually bear, viz.
KiaoShan ("Unswerving Mountains'').

the most economical method of

A structure coated with sheets
of India rubber would not be as
well protected from decay as a
structure coated with a good oil

a sheet of rubber is not so durable
