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.

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.

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 Tatler.

Why, he's twice her real age and three times the age she says she is.—ißoeton Transscript. 11 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.
