A crowd gathered before show

day to see what the attraction was
in an art store display. As she drew
nearer she discovered that most Of
the spectators were not looking at
the window itself, but at a small
errand boy in front of it. He, how
ever, was seated on his big package
gazing intently at small statue of

the men in the group whispered to
the Woman: Little chap hasn't

How Chance Acquaintance at Theater
Made Things Pleasant for Promi-
nent Movie Star.

During a recent trip to New
York William s. Hart slipped away
from his friends and his hotel and
strolled down to an East side the
alter where one of his early pic
lures was being shown.
While he sat incognito in an IN
conspicuous seat man sitting next
to the actor accidentally dropped
his hat beneath the actors seat. In
picking it up he jostled Hart, and,
taking this for an introduction, he
turned to the actor, saying;
''This guy Hart is the bunk. He
couldn't hit balloon with a can
non. He couldn't stand on the back
end of street car and lasso the
conductor. Why, | bet you could
even show him up, and anybody can
look at you and tell that you've

1T WORKED OUT FlFTY-FIFTY
Artist Really Not as Generous as Cir

Seemed to Show.

An American artist, who has
spent most of his time in Paris, tells
a story Of a French painter VINO has
a generous heart and a whimsical
wit.
1t appears that this artist and his
sister were joint owners OF some
house property in Paris One day
one of the tenants-a tailor-came
to the artist and said that he could
not pay his rent
"What can / do for your" asked
the artist. 81 cannot intercede for
You with my sister because ! am not
on good terms with her" AS mat
ter of fact the artist was regarded
as failure by his family.
However" he added, after a
thoughtful pause, "here is the
money to pay the rent, only don't
let anyone know have given it to
you"
The tailor after this used to re-
turn periodically when his rent was
due and obtain the money from the
artist
II appear to be very generous"
the artist remarked on one occasion.
''but am not, because | get half Of
it back from my sister as my share
of the rent. Philadelphia Ledger.

NOVEL ELECTRIC CLOCK

One of the limitations of an ordi-
nary desk clock is that, frequently
through oversight, it is not wound
up and consequently stops. This
generally causes annoyance and,
perhaps, the loss of a business en-
gagement. A new electric clock has
been designed to overcome this. 1t
is arranged to run for two years on
small battery Of dry cells. The
clock is of the average desk type and
has two wires leading to the bat
teries. These occupy small space
and may be placed in the bottom
drawer of the desk. The clock, it
is claimed, will require no atten-
ton until the batteries give out.

FAMOUS CHURCH IN CAPITAL
Celebration of Centennial of ST. Pc
ter's Brings to Mind Odd Hap
peninas In Its History.

Many odd things have occurred
in the hundred years of history OF
old St. Peters Episcopal church at
Washington. The church recently
celebrated its centennial. In the
century the congregation has had
only five senior wardens. The pres
ent senior warden is married to a
granddaughter of the first.
There have been a number Of rec
tors. One Of these served forty
four years.
Celebrities and aristocrats Of the
region. have been identified with
the career Of st. Peters.
A crystal chandelier now in the
church was present from the
minister to Russia under Van Blu
rem.
The church is an ivy-clad edifce
surrounded by graves of many no.
tables. The founder Of the first
Washington, which was town be-
fore George Washington became the
Father Of his Country, gave the
ground for the church in pre-Revo-
lutionary times.

parishioner left three houses to be
rented for this purpose.

NUMBER 6

speculation ran high and companies
organized to work them
In 1865 there were 65 companies in
existence with capital of forty-five
million dollars. Shares were sold for
81, 900 and as high as 81, 800 were paid
for a single share of stock. Some
companies in their reckless advertising
claimed that the flow from their wells
was so great that cattle were being
mired in the flow. One company
bought ten thousand acres for $22, 900
in greenbacks $50, 600 in gold), sold one
half to eastern spectators for $50, 600.
This half was resold for $3.50 900, and
still later for ST. 900, 600. One company
advertised that their No well had
Id 900, 600 gallons of oil in sight. A
farmer in spading his garden dug up
some mud that smelled Of oil and a
company was Immediately formed for

Men lost their investments, the com
panies were all more or less fctcious;
what little oil was actually produced
was declared by experts 10 be of little
or no value. The stock was on paper
only. There were various causes for
all this failure. The wells were not
deep enough to penetrate to the level
of the higher grades of oil in quality

methods of refining were unknown,
Nothing but illuminating oil was known
to exsist in the crude product. and the
worst of all was that scientific eastern
