STOP, LOOK, LISTEN

Did you ever stop to thank Mother Nature for her generosity to you? Or perhaps you don't think she has been generous. But if that is so, the fault is yours. You have not under stood the old woman.
 Moth Nature is the most bountiful creature imaginable. She gives with a lavish hand. Nothing is too good Nor her children. All she asks of them is that they hold out their hands Perhaps, if you haven't got yours, you have failed to look receptive. The old lady doesn't follow you around, begging you to accept her gifts. She draws the line there. Anything she has is yours, free and for the asking, but you have to ask.
 Take the Cerro Azul oil we'll down in Mexico for instance.e That is an illustration worthy of Mother Natures wonderful generosity. The Cerro Azul, when tapped, produced 275,OOO barrels a day. Think of it! Free, all for the asking. Mother Nature had her private stock hid away She wanted to be convivial with it, to pass it around, to make everybody happy with it. But she did not feel that she could go out into the highways and byways, like the Scriptural host. No, she said to herself, let them come to MY house and show an interest. Then everything shall be theirs. Stupid cabaleros and stolid peons passed that way: stubbed their toes over the very rock that was cork to this untold wealth But they did not understand. They did not see Mother Nature waiting there, half-smiling in would be cordiality: forced to hold herself back lest she seem forward and pre- sumptuous. How she wanted to be- stow upon them her stores Of wealth, yet restrained herself lest she seem forward. They passed on, stupid, sell fish, self-centered in their petty af fairs, unaware that they had only to hold out their hand and smile. and would be theirs-free gratis for noth- ing.
 ic f111 hnI hat h CT Nature is waiting always eager to give and that all we have to do is to understand. After the cabalero and the peon had passed on there came a man one day who did understand. He answered Mother Natures welcom- ing smile, he held out his hands and she poured them full of rich black petroleum. Think of it-275 ,0O0 bar rels of oil day, spouting forth free to the man who asked for it.
 The Casiano well, Mo- 7, in it's ten years of life, has poured out 82,000- zee barrels of oil. Never has it equal ed the initial gush of the Cerro Azul, but for sustained performance it has distanced all wells ever drilled
 These great oil gushers are but an example of Mother Natures wealth and her improvident generosity. AL most all the great fortunes have been built by the exploitation of these gifts. The plutocrats of today were the poor men of yesterday who understood and who held out their hands and asked. The multi-millionaires of the future will be the poor men of today who understand. Natures storehouse of wealth is still filled to overflowing. Opportunity is as ever at hand now as in the past. All that you need do is to understand.

THE STORY.

THE STORY.
Betsy O'Hara, an Irish beauty
of a noble but impoverished fam
ily, feels it her duty to her par
ents to marry the rich Lord Fred
erick BeroIles. She is not long
married before she is desperately
unhappy, but her pride keeps her
from letting the world see her
mistake.
One day Sir PaladIne Fuldes
arrives unexpectedly. He has
always loved the beautiful Betsy
but was too poor to marry her
before he came into his present
fortune. Lord Frederick chooses
to put the worst possible construc-
ton on the innocent friendship.
Late one evening Betsy receives
beseeching letter from her sis
ter Kitty telling her that Robert
Montgomery Ga former lover)
threatens to show her husband
some old love letters and begs
Betsy to go to his apartment
with her to secure them. She
agrees.
in the meantime, Horace Beres-
ford, Kit US husband, and Lord
Mereston are having a political
argument and decide to go to
Montgomery's apartment to have
him settle this question.
When the two men are heard
in the hall Betsy and Kitty has
tily conceal themselves in another
room but Kitty. in her haste,
l. aves a lace scarf behind her.
Her husband recognizes it and
accuses Montgomery of a secret
affair with his wife. To save her
sister Betsy comes into the room
and announces that the scarf is
hers this manner she recovers
the bit of lace but loses her repu-
tation. The story soon spreads
over town Lord Frederick obtains
his divorce, and her social life is
ruined.
Lady Frederick drifts from
place to place and is next seen in
Monte Carlo. Young Lord Mere
ston meets and falls in love with
her but she does not encourage
his advances. His mother, how
ever, is furious. There is a scene
between the two women and Lady
Mereston wires her brother, Sir
Paladine, to come instantly to her
sons rescue.
Betsy, who has no intention OF
marrying the young lord, never
theless resents the manner in
which his mother has called in
the aid of Sir Paladine against
her and tells him that if his Sis
ter should reveal the reason of
her divorce she can show letters
written by the supposedly sanity
Lord Mereston to a French chorus
girl, and so humble Lady Mere
ston. Sir Paladine begs her not
to do this and she shows her true
nobility by throwing all the proof
she has the letters themselves
into the fire.
Young Lord Charles considers
himself madly in love with the
beautiful Lady Frederick, but
Betsy, to show him how very
much to old she is for him admits
him to her room while her maid
is making her up one day. The
rouge, false curls, and other first
aids to declining beauty disillu-

SLAUGHTER BEACH

In my last letter to the Chronicle
I said I was leaving the dear old
beach until next season, 1 surely
fhnnghf it was trne. but when these
beautiful September days came / could
not resist the temptation to take one
more look at good old Slaughter and
for a day or so enjoy the health Civ
ing air which is so prevalent here
but what a change a week or so has
made. AS / look at Lovers Lane" 1
think of all the joy and gladness ex-
perienced by the young folks as they
nassed up and down this great prom
enade. Now all is quiet as the mid
night hour. Nothing is heard except
the noise of the ceaseless waves as
thev beat on the shore The empty
cottages with barred windows. The
boats in their winter quarters. The
shrill cry Of the ospreys as they circle
over the bay looking for their daily
food is hushed They have taken their
fight for a warmer climate. These
things are a reminder that the season
at slaughter Beach for 1929 is at an
end. Soon the icy winds from the
north will come sweeping this way
driving us from these hospitable
shores to the shelter of our city
homes. where the good old times had
at this place will be sweet memories
of the past. There will still remain
that intense longing for the coming
winter to pass quickly and the good
old summer days to return again
when we hope Slaughter Beach will
take on new life and become one Of
the most attractive summer resorts on
the bay.

This community was greatly shock
ed last Friday morning by the news
that Thos. Wheatly, a prosperous far
mer. near Barratt's Chapel, had COM
mitted suicide. He had been in poor
health for several years and this, it
seemed had gradually undermined his
reason. Mr.. Wheatly went out to
work that morning with his help as
usual, but the family had noticed that
he was fast growing worse and fear
ing that he might do something rash
tried to keep him under surveillance
but he sought his opportunity and
once out of their sight he cut his
throat with his pocket knife, dying al
most instantly. He leaves wife and
two daughters. both of whom are mar
ried. His funeral which was largely
attended was held on Sunday after
noon at Barratt's Chapel by Rev. G.
r Ellis and his remains wore laid TO
rest in the adjoining cemetery.
