by several fire companies.
When he was taken into Night Court

against him changed from disordery
conduct to wilfully calling out the Fire

a property for single day would be
$4,000
Johnny fished the money out of his
pocket and turned around and fired
the clerk who had been listening to
the proceedings with mouth agapc. He
posted placard in front of the place,
saying that for the day everything in
it was free Never before in its his
tory did the house do such business
SIS it did that day. The entire trans
action is said to have cost Johnny
500 600.
The next day the hotel went back to
the old management, and Johnny,
CHANGING to drop in, was mortified to
discover that the clerk had been rein
stated at the desk. All his ragings
were in vain. The clerk was to stay,
the proprietor said
Easy Thing for the Cabbies
But Johnny was not to be frustrated
thus. He went across street to the
Girard House and made a dicker with
the proprietor to cut his rates down to
less than half those charged by the
Continental, whatever the cost, and
Coal Oil Johnny" would be good for
all losses.
While this arrangement lasted the
Continental was almost deserted At
intervals Johnny would enter and de-
mand the discharge of the clerk. The
clerk stayed, however, and Johnnys
wrath cooled in pursuit of new pleas
ures.
One of his hobbies at this time was
never to ride except in his own equ-
page. He accomplished this by buying
horse. cab and accoutrements from
every cabby he engaged and selling
them back to him for a nominal sum
when he was tired of riding.
Throughout this spendthrift career
Johnny was upheld not only by the
knowledge that the Oil Greek farm was
sprouting dollars by the car. but by
his belief that he could dispose of it
at any time for 81 100000, which was
fabulous sum in those days.
That amount had been offered to him.
in fact. on his arrival IN Philadel-
phia. when he first left the farm and
1000 had been handed over to bind
the bargain. During Johnny's alb
sence, however, the gushers on the
McClintock farm began to fall off in
volume and new oil fields were coming
to the front. Johnny's buyer thought
better of the bargain and forfeited the
$4,000.
The $4,000 was gone long ago, Of
course. and for the first time in his
months of affluence Johnny began oc-
casionally to discover an empty pocket
when he fumblcd for money. He re-
turned to Oil Greek. where he found
his wife awaiting his arrival in cheer
full calm.
Forced to Work as Farmland
She never had doubted that he would
return and welcomed him heartily.
Dwindling royalties still were coming
in. however, and Johnny could not bear
to leave the money unspent He departed
on his wanderings again, but this time
rather as a tramp than as spend
thrift
When the money was gone and its
source dried up Johnny took his
family West and "railroaded" for a
living. After few years of this, when
he thought his notorety had faded, he
returned to Pennsylvania and lived for
many years on the farm of his father
ln-law, doing the work of farmland
even more cheerfully than he had eX-
pended his hundreds of thousands.
Three years ago he got a job with
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy at
Fort Crook.

"Since I have been married, have

Every member Of the family occa'

Half Ton Of Meal Worth Ton
Of Seed As Fertilizer

MIR. FARMER, have you given
real thought to whether you are
doing the right thing in holding your
cotton seed for fertilizer, instead of
taking them to the oil mill and swap
ping them for meal to u.s. for the
same purpose? Probably YOU have
given some good, hard serious
thought to the subject. But you
probably are Of the opinion that ton
of meal is worth more, and prob
ably a little less, for fertilizer, than
a ton Of seed, and believe a swap
on the mill basis would be decidedly
to your disadvantage.
However, this seems not to be
fact. According to expert analysis,
a half ton of meal contains nearly
the same fertilizer ingredient that
ton of seed contains. The mills
here are giving SEQ pounds Of meal
for ton Of seed, which represents
a gain of nearly so per cent, if this
analysis is correct, in favor of the
farmer At the same time, it sup
plies the oil mill with raw material
on which to operate and employ
labor and manufacture product
that will bring money into the South
instead of going to waste in the
ground.
