been away to Conservatory. And
the daughter would not play, for hel
Sheet Musick had not arrived. Nei-
Their would she sing, for she said that
she was Out of Practice, having re-
Gently studied only Theory and Com
position and Fugue and Counterpart
And | said unto her, 1t is not an
Excess of Musickal Culture that all
eth thee, but the need of Chastise-
ment. In the days when thou could
est barely play The Sweet Bye and
Bye so that it might be told from
Yankee Doodle, thy Musickal Talent
was good for something. Thou vert
joy unto thy father and comfort
to thy mother; and thou couldest-
add happiness to the life of thy
friends. But now thou knowest just
enough to be useless.
And ] asked, Knowest Thou any
Of the sweet old Ballads, as The Last
Rose of Summer, or Coming
Through the Rye?
And she said, Yea; but they are
very Old and Simple.
And / said, Go thou to the piano
and play and sing Thou hast given
this party a Frost and chilled the
heart Of all present. Go thou back
and warm them up with something
that they love.
And she did as l told her. And the
heart Of all presnct was warmed
And certain of the other girls played
And the hour waxed late, some of
the young folks sad: Let us sing
some of Those Good Old-Timers that
we used to like. And she played for
them.
So her Musickal Education did not
quite spoil her after all. And when
she hath a Musickal Education that
is much better she will know better
the worth of my lesson to her.

once upon time there was a
" man who had a daughter. And
he loved Musick. And as the danisel
grew, she sang; and the singing glad
dened his heart and tho heart of her
mother. And they bought her a
Piano, and hired a TEACHER, who
came to the house and 81 il her les,
sons at Fifty Cents an Icepg' And
the lesson was worth eHarn cent of
it. For the damsel soola nlacd play

when the young folk gathered, and
she seated herself at the Piano and
played the Suwanee River and See
ing Nellie Home, and they all sang
and were glad.
Now there came an evil day when
one spake unto the father saying
Thy daughter hath Musickal Ability.
Now, therefore, send her away that
she may study Musick.
So they sent her away to a Con-
scrvatory; and they shut down the
cover of the Piano. And on Sunday
afternoon her father said, 1t is lone
ly, but when she returneth she will
play to Beat the Band.
And it came to pass that at the
end Of certain days she returned with
a Musickal Education. And | was

FISHING JOB A SUCCESS
We'll Drilled Draws Eight Sections of
 Drill Stem from Hole.

Hope, Feb. 5.-Driller Bill Smith has accomplished seemingly impos- sible task in pulling eight sections of drill stem, 1SO feet in length, from the Jones No. 1 test we'll, seven miles south of Hope. which has blocked the work there since it was twisted off in the hold several days ago, and has resumed work at the old level.
 Eight out of ten experienced oil operators scoffed at the idea of ever getting the obstructing drill stem out of the hole, but Smith is one of those men who never admit defeat. so he drilled down alongside the offending sections for distance of 50 feet or more, causing the obstruction to right itself, which enabled him to get hold of 1t with his fishing tools, and at l o'clock yesterday morning he pulled it out.
 Drilling has been resumed at the oil level of 2.66S feet, and when the pumps were started this morning, the showing of gas in the slush pit was as pronounced as before the accident.
 The work is again going forward in the lime rock, which is thought to be the cap rock over the Trinity sand

 About an acre square has been fenced off around the well, and no one is allowed on the inside of this en- closure except the workmen and those interested with the we'll. It is not known exactly when a test will be made.
 Excitement runs high here. Arrange mcpts gre being made to plat an 80- acre ,..unsite at McKanlie.
 The dr.,ling company has announc- ed that if the we'll proves produc- CT the company will put down several others as soon as rigs can be placed on the ground. Other companies are standing ready to drill if the test proves a producer.
 The lease fever has hit the business men of the towns near by, and they are securing the country seeking the leases
 Several local business men are ne gctiating for tract just north of Stamps, with the idea of organizing a company and putting down we'll.
