And bent with the chill of the
winter's day,
The street was wet with a re-

Annd the woman’s feet were
aged and slow,
She stood at the crossing and
waited long.

FACTS
What Caused The Explosion.
A sweet little girl, the pride
of the family, rushed into the
bedroom this morning where
her mamma was indulging in
teh morning work and exclaim
ed: “O mamma there is a man
in the kitchen hugging the
cook”. Seeing the look of sur-
prise on her mamma’s face
she clapped her hdnds and
cried: “April fool! It’s only
papa!”
Hello! Home is a place
where some people take
bath every Saturday night.

At last came one of the merry
troop,
J® a. FAULT, on account of
the great amount of artesian
water and broken formations
that we encountered. While in
our second W"ELL, or WELL
No. 2. (Which is onlv about
220 feet North-East of WELL
No. 1.,) we have had no water
of any nature and the forma-
tion has been altogether dif-
ferent, which has proven to us
beyond a doubt that we are
away from the FAULT.
Oil is seldom found in a
FAULT, while just a few feet
away it is found in abundant
quantities. This was proven in
the Mexia fields. The Humble
fields, The Caddo fields and
