What's done | never can undo;
What's said I never can recall;
Onward fare to ventures new,
Perchance to rise, perchance to
fall,
The yesterdays that once were mine
Shall never feel my hands again;
l have no power to make them fine,
Nor wash away single stain.
If would make this morning great
With courage must do it now;
Tomorrow it will be too late,
No second chance does Time allow
This day, this hour, this minute stand
Through all the years that are to
be
The record of my brain and hand,
God, let me live them worthily.

THE UNALTERED PAST

shall not have chance to see
Today again when night comes
down,
This hour again shall never be
With all it's failure are renown,
Another hour must take its place,
Another day lies pust ahead,
No single step may l retrace
To alter what I've done or said.
If have badly lived or toiled,
Played false for any petty gain,
The record for today is soiled,
And soiled it always must remain.
Despite tomorrow's vain regret,
The selfish hour must selfish stay;
The past shall hold me in its debt,
Nor shall have a chance to pay.

FREAK WELL ATTRACTS

Elmo, Texas, Aug. 30.-Thc "freakish" oil we'll in Elmo is still attracting wide attention of oil men The we'll has been pumped dry twice and each time oil seeps back into the we'll with the water. The we'll is To- cated on business lot belonging to w. H. Cleveland, and is dug well, twenty feet deep, being bricked from the bottom. The oil is of a very high grade, with a yellowish color. Some of it was tried out in a gasoline engine here, and ran the engine successfully as gasoline, only made more smoke.
 Yesterday the we'll was pumped dry, and a white man and a negro each attempted to go down into it to clean it out, but before reaching the bottom of the we'll each called to be pulled out, saying that the gas would suffocate them.
 An experienced oil man from the Louisiana fields was here yesterday looking over the field. Last night a guard of five men watched the well to see that no one poured any oily substance into it, and this morning the oil had seeped back as much as at first.

NEW YORK WILD ABOUT OIL

"New York, especially that par
 embraced by that world -famou, thoroughfare, Wall street, still is wile about legitimate Texas oil interests declared Harry E. Hicks, president o1 the King Midas Oil and Gas associa. tion and the Integrity Oil Refinine company, on his return from the me. tropolis, according to the Fort Worth Star Telegram.
 "And by legitimate" continued Mr. Hicks, "I mean that the oil man with a proposition that possesses real merit and not just a lot of wildcat acreage is sought after on his arrival in New York.
 "The fellow, however, with just a lot of quantity acreage, who counts on the alleged ignorance of eastern investors to put his proposition over certainly will get fooled, when he goes to New York. Those fellows are the ones that number among the few that are giving Texas oil issues a bad name and are causing the fed eral authorities to investigate their nefarious schemes"
 MT. Hicks was most successful in his trip to New York in the interest of private syndicates in which he is interested, and he is of the opinion that within the next few months, Texas interests will be in even greater control of stock activities on the New York curb as the promoters and the public gradually learn that only the legitimate deserve considera- tlon, and that not "just anything from Texas" is worthy

Washington. Dec. Is. Wartime
prohibition was held constitutional
today by the supreme court in an
unanimous decision. Thus vanished
the hopes of many for wet holiday
time. No decision was rendered on
cases involving the constitutionality
OF the prohibition enforcement act
framed to carry out the intent Of the
prohibition amendment to the consti-
tuition. In passing, however, Asso-
ciate Justice Brandeis did hold the
prohibition amendment to be binding
en- the states as we'll as the federal
government.
The decision added one Of the final
milestones to the long fight to make
the country dry. The court will rem
der opinions again next Monday az
which beer cases are expected to be
decided after which the court will re-
cess until January S.
