With Christians there is no ap-

its utterances we never dissent to
the sum of its doctrines we nev-

It is at once the plainest, most
positive, most direct command

But the Business Men Shouid Stand

The article we clip from the Wil-
mington Messenger about the news-
papers of Greenville, calls to mind the
fact that there is something the busi-
ness men who escaped the fire can do to
help the papers along and strengthen
their efforts to build Greenville up
again. Of course all know that the a
burning out, of so many business houses,
loses anumber of advertisers, to, the
papers and makes it much harder for
them to getaloug. This being so, every
one who remains in business should be
aliberal advertiser, and see that the
usefulness of the papers is in no meas-

So far as the RerLector is con-
cerned, through ail the years of its ex-
istence it has thought nothing too good
to say or do for Greenville, and it tries
in every issue that goes. out to print
something that tends to benefit and ad-/:

SUBLETTING THAT PAYS.

Lawyers Who Make Money Allowing Out-
side Corporations to Use Their Offices.
“Well, that’s the worst that I ever

saw,” remarked a man in a small

New Jersey town, as he stood in front

of a lawyer’s office. What he saw was

enough to stagger anyone who was not
initiated into the mysteries of modern
business methods. The ground-glass
door was fairly covered with the names
of high-sounding corporations, many

of which were favorably known in New

York business circles.
“Can’t make it out, eh?” said the jan-

itor of the building, who had noticed
the surprised look on the man’s face.
“Well, all those names belong to manu-
facturing firms doing business in New
York. As they are all stock companies
they have to be incorporated. Now, ac-
cording to the laws of New York state,
every corporation is pretty well ham-
pered with red tape, besides being com-
pelled to pay heavy taxes,

A Filial Touch. her proximity to New York, has adopt-

ed very liberal laws in order to induce
manufacturing concerns to settle with-
in her jurisdiction. As a natural result
these laws are taken advantage of by
many firms who do business in New
York and have their plants located in
various parts of the country. All the
direct letter of the law requires of
them, after they have become incorpo-
rated, is to have an office within the
state.

and give them the use of his office for
about ten minutes once a year when
the annual meeting of the officers is
held, For this service the corporation
generally pays the lawyer $10 a:month,

a young lawyer is fortunate enough to
get several names on his door he rakes
in a nice little sum every year for doing

—A man released from jail in Win-

serving a long term, went strtight to
the railroad station to take a train for
his home, and in attempting to board
it fell under the wheels and was killed.

—-Lee, Mass., prides itself considera- |

celebrated her 103d birthday recently,
Capt. Norton is 99 years old, Mrs. Har-
riet Hinckley is 94 and Mrs, Baker is
93. Octogenarians are too young to be
taken seriously there.

—Something of newrecord was estab-
lished by thieves in Adams county,
Wash., recently, They stole a big barn
belonsing to the county auditor, pull-
ing it down during the night, loadjng
it on wagons and hauling it to parts |
unknown.

—A number of converts walked over
the shore ice, scrunched through the
thin edge and waded out into the icy
sea at Orr’s island, Me., to be baptized
a few days ago. Even in the middle of
summer the sea in thatregion is so cold
that few people bathe in it.

—A horse which Gen. John Morgan
rode in his famous raid in 1862 died
near Versailles, Ky., a few days ago.
Morgan rode the horse into Versailles
and left it there, taking inits placea fine
mare. The horse was, when it died,
more than 37 years old. a

—J. M. Stanley, his wife and young
son killed four bears on their ranch
near Ukiah, Cal., one morning recent-
ly. The largest of the bears weighed
700 pounds, and there was about as
much risk as fun in the hunt and fight
that preceded the slaughter of the
quariette. The big game is being driven

OIL AMONG THE ORANGES,

Creda Peticasenes the Orehards
of Loe Angeles,

 

 

In a Memant. of Depaniien an Owne?
Begins to Bore, and the Result Is
Something Astonishing to Hime
self and Neighbors.

Indications of oil in and about Les
Angeles have been apparent for years,
and a few instances are on record of
enthusiastic prospectors who sunk
wells to the depth of from 100 to 200
feet, and actually succeeded in securing
an occasional barrel of crude petro-
leum.

The first cable car line was built in
‘Los Angeles in 1886, and it was natu-
rally conceded by investors generally
that a piece of land close in on the
cable line was about the biggest card
in their pack. This particuiar section
of town is made up of a serics of hiils
crowded along as closely together as
a prairie dog village. and just about as
available for town lots. A local real es-
tate dealer acquired some property in
the much-valued region, and then for
several years tried vainly to sell out
at almost any price. Finally. in a fit of
desperation, he decidec to hore for oil.
This was in August of last yeur..

Discouragement and ridicu'e met him
on all sides, and when 1,000 feet had
been reached without result, his “wild
eat” scheme was the ta!k of the town,

Then something happenec. Sudden-
ly, in the dead waste and middle of the
night, a tremendous burst of oi: and
gas shot out of the drill hole, flung
every portable object in its pathway
high in the air, literally scaked the
men in attendance, and saturat:? the
region roundabout with the grimy,
ill-smelling substance. Dismay reigned
supreme, until the owner cf the wel!
was enabled to turn the enormous out-
put into a hastily-constructed tank.

At first a universal wave of indigna-
tion swept over the community which
had in the passing of years taken up
its abode in this region. It was out-
rageous that olfactories of the peo-
ple should be so violently assailed—
their very hearth-stones invaded. It
was furthermore declared that the well
was a menace to health, and applica-
tions to abate the nuisance were made
to the city council.

Then there was a great calm, which

A HORSE’S PRESENCE OF MIND.
He Saved His Own Life and That of His

 

 

 

Driver in Broadway,

The remarkable presence of mind
that a horse can display in case of an
emergency was illustrated the other
evening at 31st street and Broadway.
Not only did the equine prove conclu- |
sively to several hundreds of people:
that an animal was capable of saving
its own life when the necessity present-,
ed itself, but portrayed also to the
many who saw the act that he could
save the life of his master as well. |

South-bound cable car No. 89 of the’
Columbus avenue division was going
down Broadway at a rapid rate of
speed. The horse, which was attached
to a delivery wagon, was going from
east to west, also at a very rapid gait.
The driver, who had a companion in
the person of a boy 12 years old, un-
mindful of the approach of the car,
failed to reduce his speed when Broad-
way was reached. .

Neither the’ gripman nor the driver

saw each other until it seemed too late
to avoid an accident. By this time the
horse’ was, half way ‘deross the east
track and the car was close upon it.
The gripman let go his srip and put o7 |

the brakes, but the people who wit-|
nessed the sight did not think for a
moment that either the horse or its
driver would come out of the accident.
alive, but the horse, with common sense’
which would’ do credit to many human
beings, instead of trying to get across
the track, with the possibility of
wrecking the wagon and killing its
occupants, stopped short direetly in
front of the ear, reared on its hind legs
and let the carcome on, _

When it was upon him he intelli-
gently let, his front feet down over the
dashboard and into the car. This done,
he quickly raised his hind legs on to
the steps, and after the horse gave a
short neigh of happiness the car came

Oil companies and oil exchanges are
being organized and reorganized al-
most daily. Two pipe-lines are coni-
pleted from the field to the railway
tracks, one having a 32,000-barrel stor-
age tank, and the other with a ex-
pacity of 35,000 barrels. These lines
| cost about $75,000,

There are over 400 wells in actual
operation to-day, and the drilling is
progressing rapidly. What with the
| purchase of plants and the cost of pip-
ing the oil to the railroads, nearly $1-
000,000 capital has already been invest-
ed in the industry.

As high as 300 barrels of oil have
been pumped from a single well in
24 hours, although 100 barrels is con-
sidered an excellent daily average for
the best producers. The present out-
put is over 3,000 barrels prr day. Of
this 1,500 barrels are required for local
_ consumption ~~ breweries, laundries,

THE QUEEN AND THE “ORB.”

| How the Brave Girl Suffered Silently at
the Coronation.

At the coronation the ceremonics
lasted more than four hours, and
threughout the queen played her part
with wouderful composure. Care, saya
a writer, had been taken to provide a
crown suitable for her small head, but
no one had thought about reducing the
size of the orb which she was required
to carry in her tiny hand.

“What am I to do with it?” she asked,
in concern.

“Carry it, your majesty,” replied
Lord John Thynne.

“Am 1?
answered in a_ tone of amazement,
Iiowever, it. was too late for protest,
and she obeyed the exigencies of the
situation.

A worse mistake had been made
"with regard to the ruby coronation
ring. The jeweler had made it to fit
her majesty’s little finger, whereas the
archbishop declared that according to
| the. rubric it must be put upon the
larger finger, and accordingly forecd
it into that position, The queen bore
her, painfully swelling sage with the
same heroism that she carried the
weighty orb. Afterward the finger
had to be bathed in ice water before the

up our town quicker by keeping our
money at home and sendiug away for
nothing that can be had here.
