L ENTHUSIASM OVERCAME HIM. And He Gave Away l.is Employer’. Secret a. a Result. 1 A few years ago a prominent oil producer of Pittsburgh was putting down a well in a territory that had never . been tested for oil. He was keeping the fact a profound secret, ays the Sun Francisco Argonaut, in order that in case he got a good well he might without difficulty secure all the leases he - desired in the vicinity. He was on the . , ground himself, watching with great 5 1 interest the indications. Everything I pointed to success. Two days before the well was expected to “come in” he 1 was called home. Anxious about the ■ result, he arranged with his contractor ■ to telegraph him as soon as the drill 31 reached the sand. He knew, however, r that secrets will sometimes leak out of , I a telegraph office and so he told the I driller that the sentence: “Pine trees grow toll,” would mean that he l had struck oil. The driller promised to do as he was ordered. The mingled satisfaction and vexation of the pro- , ducer may be imagined when two days ■ later he received the following tele- I gram: “Pine trees grow tall. She's “ squirting clean over the derrick.” His hope that he should have no competif tors for leases was disappointed. Very Tender-il-.-nrted. Mlle. Augustine Brohan, the cele- ? brated French comedienne, who was so 1 humane to all animals, one day at table j found a fly caught on her plate. She r took i* up tenderly with her thumb u and finger and called her maid. “Marie,” ; he said, “take this fly—be ’ careful, now, don’t hurt him!—and put * him outdkKirs.” The girl took the fly i and went away, but presently Mlle. I Brohan saw her standing near with a troubled expression on herface. ’’Well, Marie,” she said, “did you do as 1 told you?” “No, mademoiselle. I've got the fly still; I couldn’t venture to put him outdoors —it was raining, and he might have taken cold.” Bullet-Proof Floss Silk. Japan’s small losses in men in the ” battles with the Chinese were due in part to the accidental use of a bulletproof material. Owing to the severe • cold the Japanese soldiers wore a quan- - i tity of floss silk under their clothes; - this, when they were hit, was found in s. ■ tnanv cases to have stopped the bullets Her Conundrum. ~ i It is often hard to determine hit from s “good wit” in the ease of children, and some of their flashes of precocity seem not to be unconscious, but rather the e' fragment of some ’ remembered knowl- - edge. A little maid of five, who had '-. been listening quietly to the puzzles II and conundrums of the older children, “ se'-med at last to divine the method of , their construction, and, after some v thought, asked: “What could you get on a very high, steep mountain?” The e answers were ice, snow, rocks, eagles’ ° nests and the like, to all of which the little one persistently shook her head. t When asked to tell the answer she triJ umphantly cried: “Nothing!” “But i. why?” asked the others, in a breath, d “Because you couldn't get up there after it,” was the demure reply.
