Honry, the three-year-old son of Mr.

noon. While playing with bis elder
brother at their home the little fellow's

only for the remarkable presence of mind
of Miss Nannie Noble, a member of the
household, would have burned to death.
Hearing the cries of the children she has

rug about the child succeeded in smoth
ering the flames before they reached the
face. Dr. Serrill was summoned, aud
promptly relieved the lad's sufferings,
and he Is doing as well as could be ex

burned from the knees to bis stomach,
and the right arm aud hand were also
severely burned.
An exchange tells how to live cheap,
ly, as follows: Substitute comfort for
show. Put convenience In the place of
fashion. Study simplicity. Refuse to be
beguiled Into a style of living above what
is required by your position in society
and is justified by your resources. Set
a fashion of simplicity, neatness, pru
donee and inexpensiveness which others
will be glad to follow aud thank you for
Introducing. Teach yourself to do with
out a thousand and one pretty and showy
tilings which wealthy people purchase,
and pride yourself on being just as happy
without them as your rich neigh
bora are with them. Put so much dig
nity, sincerity, kindness, virtue and love
into your simple and inexpensive home
that its members will never miss the
costly fllpperies and showy adornments
of fashion, and be happier in the cosy
and comfortable apartments than most of
our wealthy neighbors are in their splen
did apartments.

duces the peculiar while oil that has
caused so much Interest and comment
among old oil men, and It is the only ter
ritory in which this oil Is found. It is
almost as clear aud white as the refined
article, or kerosene, and the people living
In the vicinity where it is produced use it
In their lamps and lanterns after the
fluid baa stood In the tanks long enough
to allow the gas to evaporate somewhat.
It Is said to produce good results as an
illumlnaut, and refiners say it runs runy

are putting In a power and will pump the
five wells on the lease. F. C. Proper left
a sample of the fluid at the oillce where
It may be inspected by any who are in

for rheumatism when applied as a lini
ment. The Proper Bros, have a standing
offer of ?3.00 per barrel for their produc

Last week they drilled in their number

every Indication that tbey have made a

good that tbey are confident they have at
last tapped the pay streak. The wells
have not yet been put to pumping, so
that all estimates of what they will do
re mere guess-work. Their operations
are at least a hundred miles from any
other oil development and have beeu
eagerly watched by the oil men of that
Bection. Mr. Grove will return to Ken

here will rejoice with them in tbelr good

pain in his stomach. Home remedies
were employed and at 7 o'clock he went
to the office of Dr. Kerr, who prescribed

ment, but did not live to learn of the fact
that he bad met with success. He was stir
ring and energetic in business and will

which he had passed practically his
whole life. To the family and friends bis

grief.
