MISSED THE TRAIN
It Was Not the Agent's Fault, Either,
Only His Misfortune
The real estate man from the city
was eager to close the deal for Uncle
Billy Weatherman's forty acres, which
would front on a beautiful lake after
the big White river dam in the Mis
souri Ozarks was built.
The papers lav on the table awaiting
Uncle Billy's signature. The real es
tate man was impatient. He was in
a hury to get back to Hollister, the
nearest railway station, so as to catch
tlig only train that would get him back
to Kansas City the next morning.
"Now, if you'll sign right there —on
the dotted line," lie said, handing a
fountain pen to Uncle Billy.
Uncle Billy took out his spectacles
aud read the papers carefully.
"I reckon I'd better »ot be in too
big a hurry about this hyar," he tem
porized, with the shrewdness of .the
Ozark mountaineer. "I don't read as
peart as I used to. I b'lieve I'll have
my sons read them papers, mister."
"It would be a great favor to me,
Uncle Billy," remarked the Kansas
City man, looking at his watch, "if
you could manage to see them in time
to finish up this transaction by noon,
lou see, I've got to get away to-day.
How many sons have you, anyway?"
Uncle Billy scratched his ilead a

ITS PRODUCT TOO GOOD
A Wonderful Oil Well That Was Pound
. in the Balkans
In Ml", Caton W'oodville's "'Random
Recollections" is the story of a rich oil
well that was discovered in the Bal
kans.
On one of his journeys he was shown
a deep hole, sunk most probably by
the ancient inhabitants of tlie country
for raining purposes, but Which lie was
assured was a petroleum well. After
ward Mr. Woodville heard the full
story of this well.
A petroleum "find" was reported
from the district, and an expert from
Baku, in the Caucasus, the great pe
troleum district, was sent to the Bal
kans by a syndicate to inquire into
this valuaible discovery. He was taken
by eager natives to this hole, and a
bucket, was dropped down at the end
of a long rope and drawn up again,
brimful of oil.
Tho expert examined the contents of
the 'bucket, tested it carefully, and
tlien, turning to the assembled natives,
he exclaimed: "This is the most won
derful oil well in the world. The pe
troleum is already refined."
The explanation was. of course, that
some enterprising person, not knowing
that petroleum comes from the oil wells
in a crude state, had carefully placed
some ordinary commercial petroleum in
the well in the hope that the expert
would think there really was an oil
well there and offer a big price for the
property.
An Early Underground Road
l,oin]oll ? s underground railway sta
tions are decidedly different from
what they were when first built. ,V
writer in London Society of May, 18G:j.
describes Farringdon street station as
resembling "a family vault on a large
scale, with a series of hip baths in
troduced diagonally into it for light
and ventilation. Th e hip baths are
lined with glazed tiles, and to keep the
resemblance to their prototype we find
the leakage drained off at the end into
a vessel something like a soap dish. A
dense fog filled the place when 1 was
there, and, as the people waiting for
the trains were seen wandering up and
down the platform, one might have im
agined them ghosts of j,he great un
washed condemned to linger in sight
of those lavatories they neglected in
their mortal life."
The Worm Turned
"Is any one waiting on you " fi
nally asked the haughty saleslady, con
descending at laßt to notice t'he shop
ping person.
"I'm afraid not," replied the latter.
"My husband was—l left him outside
—but I'm afraid he's disgust
ed and gone home."—Toledo Blade.
SEVERE WINTER WEATHER
IS ENVELOPING ENGLAND
London, Nov. 16. 3.41 A. M.—Se
vere winter weather reached England in
the past twenty-"four hours. Snow a
foot deep is reported from Bakewell,
county of Derby. The highways are
blocked aud snow plows are being
used. The mountain roads in North
Wales are impassable, owing to the
blizzard which has drifted the snow.
On account of the continuous heavy
rains the rivers Dee, Severn and Dovey
are over their banks and mueli damage
to property lias resulted.
Severe weather with the thermometer
at 25 degrees is reported from the
Lothians, Lammermoor hills. Scarbor
ough. Doncaster and throughout the
lake district. Six inches of snow has
fallen in ftspttawd and the stregt cars
in Aberdeen aj'e kept running with dif
ficulty.
Along the coasts a number of acci
dents to sharping have occurred. The
bark Invernio wont ashore on Bally
feris point; two pilot boats have been
wrecked at deal, the steamer Kenil
worth went, on the rocks at the entrance
to the Tyne. The crews of all four ves
sels were saved.
London, Nov. 16, 4.03 A. M. — Ac
cording to dispatches from the front the
winter weather is having a serious ef
fect on the operations of the armies.
The work in the trenches is described
as extremely trying and Northern
France, they say, seems swept with an
epidemic of influenza and cold.
The wounded brought in show signs
of suffering and there are numerous
cases of illness among I hem due to the
cold and exposure, although the men
are being relieved in the trenches much
more frequently than formerly.
PERSIANS DEMAND THAT W AR
BE NOW DECLARED ON RUSSIA
London, Nov. 16, 4.52 A. M. —The
correspondent of Reuter's Telegram
Company at Sofia, Bulgaria, telegraphs
as follows:
"The so-called Persian meeting yes
terday in Constantinople demanding the
evacuation of Persia by the Russian
troops and urging that Persia declare
war on Russia, has assumed the same
character as the street, processions.
"Tt is stated that the movers of the
resolutions at the meeting were not
Persians but young Turks. Copies of
the resolutions were handed in at the
American embassy after the street pa
rade in which the demonstrators shout
ed 'long live Persia, Turkey Austria
aud Germany! Down with England,
France and Kussia!' "
SULTAN BLAMES ALLIES FOR
INSTIGATING WAR ON TURKEY
Constantinople, Nov. 16, via Lon
don, 12.25 P. M.—The Sultan of
Turkey has issued a proclamation to
the army and navy in which he ac
cuses Great Britain, France and Rus
sia of having instigated the war u[>on
Turkey. He adds in this connection
that the outcome will put an end to
the attempts directed against the glory
of the Turkish empire. Exhorting his
soldiers to bravery the Sultan says:
"Not oniy the fate of our own
country, but the future existence of
300,000,000 Moslems depends on'your
victory."

ROYAL DOUBLES
Understudies Who Played the Role of
Monarch in Public
In a land of distrust like Russia it is
only natural that the precautions tak
en should Ibe of the most drastic order;
hence the use of a royal understudy
who has always 'been a conspicuous fig
ure at that court. Indeed, it was the
understudy of tho late Czar Alexander
lit.—a man named Komaroff—who was
murdered in 'Moscow some years ago,
when the murderer thought he had cov.
ered himself with glory 'by assassinat
ing the czar.
Nicholas, like his father 'before him,
has an understudy, and the many state
functions he attended at the opening
of his reign, when tho relations with
his people were less strained than they
are to-day, were attended for the most
part bv proxy.
No monarch, however, made suc.'h
frequent use of iiis understudy as tlie
late Emperor William of Germany. Ev
ery day as the clock struck 12 the Em
peror came out and bowed on the palaco
balcony. It was not until some time
after the Emperor's demise that the
secret was made known that the man
Who appeared daily on the baloney was
the royal understudy. And the person
who gave the secret away was the
great Bismarck.—London Black anil
White.
First Feminist Party
The earliest deputation of women
to parliament was organized close on
2,000 yea s'ago. Under the triumvirate
o*' Augustus, Antony and Lepidus it was
proposed to tax the property of 1,400
wealthy Roman matrons in order to
meet part of the ex'jeuses of the Civil
war then raging. They refused to sub
mit to this imposition and sent Hor
tensia, one of their number, to plead
against it before the senate. In the
course of 'her speech she asked, "Why
should we 'be leonupeHed to pay for a
war into which we had no wish to
embark or for the support' of a gov
ernment whose policy we have no
means of contrrtllingt" This argument
proved so effective that the tax on
women was reduced to one-third of tho
amount originally proposed.—'London

REIRS OF DUTCH GENERAL
HOPE TO GET $50,000,000
Philadelphian Encourages 28 Descend
ants of Theobold Metzger, Whose
Estate Reverted to Crown at His
Death In i«»l
Twenty-eight of the 100 or more
heirs of i'beoboM Metzger, a 'Dutch gen
eral wlho died in Holland in 1691, who
have ho[>es of regaining some of the
$28,000,000 to $30,000,000 left by the
generai, with accrued interest, met here
yesterday aitternoou at 1334 Nortiii
Sixth street, with C. li. 'Demin, of Phila
delphia, who claims to possess the doc
uments that will return to them the
lost fortune.
With the aid of Mr. Demin, the 'heirs
figure out that the estate to-day would
be valued at $.">47,000,000, but they
adopted a liberal policy and are willing
to accept $50.000,000, provided the
(Holland government anil the Rothschild
bankers relinquish there hold on that
portion of the estate.
According to Demin the Dutch gen
eral s estate was advertised under the
name ot Von "Wibnom, a name granted
to him bv the Dutch King, and no heirs
! claiming it under that name it reverted
to tile crown. A letter setting forth
that such an estate had reverted to the
king is said to be in Demin's posses
sion. Demin proposed to take another
triip to Europe next summer to get fur
ther evidence and he wants to have a.
reunion of all the Metzgers in Dauphiu
county.
