JESSE HERRIOTT.
Tills was thp brldKP that was a familiar spectacle to every Londoner anil to every “country cousin” from the days of Henry II. before Mnunu Chnrta was yet thought of, to the days of people still living. Three times the bridge was In danger of being destroyed by fire—once In Its Infancy In 1212. again when the great fire laid London low, and lastlv, 17 years later,
In 1683.
This old bridge had witnessed many strange happenings, but one of the oddest, and certainly the most romantic of them all, was when It served ns a tilting ground for two doughty knights of the fourteenth century. John de Wells, a valiant English knight, who was their ambassador In •Scotland, bud boasted that there was no such cavalier north of the Tweed as the south could produce, and David Lindsay, earl of Crawford, had picked up the gauntlet the Englishman had thrown down. The duel was arranged for St. George’s day, 1390, and the scene of It was to he, of all places In the world, London bridge. On the day appointed the two gallant champions, John de Wells and David Lindsay, each clad In mall, took up his position. At the first onslaught the knights met in the center of the bridge with a terrific crash, but though their lances were splintered like matchwood each remained Immovable in his
saddle.
A second course had a like result, so sturdy and so equally matched were the antagonists; but In the third course the assault of the Scottish knight was so irresistible that De Wells was flung senseless to the
ground.
Such, was one out of hundreds of the strange sights old London bridge had looked on before, In 1832, It vanished altogether from a city in which It was evident it had “lagged super-
fluous.”
that statement may best be appreciated by reflecting that such a rate of production, if maintained for a single year, would surpass the tidal performance of even the great Cushing field. And who will presume to limit the future source of oil to shale? In one form or another prospecting goes on ceaselessly. No oilless age await* us; hut the passing of the drills and derricks may occasion a sigh. 'Die “excitements” which conscript the soldiers of fortune, where foregather the clans of varied circumstance, the multicolored obligations with their clamor of sudden affluence and their silences, of the baffled—all this will have vanished completely as the luck of a thousand roaring camps. We shall have oil, produced as per schedule, It* records preserved In prim, respectable ledgers, but the romance of oil even now, .swings to finis.
ART WORKS ON LARGE SCALE
Somewhat Sarcastic. Senator James A. Watson of Indiana has a story about his first law case. It was out in Rushvllle, Ind., and the youthful attorney was called to defend a fellow-citizen against a bootlegging charge. It was a clear case against Watson’s client. The outcome was the maximum sentence of $500 ami a year In prison. Next dny Watson called upon his client at the county jail. “I suppose you did all you could for me," glumly admitted the convicted mnn. “What Is your charge?” “A hundred dollars,” stated Watson. “That's a lot of money, ain't itV” growled the client. "Well, you can’t get an able lawyer for nothing,” he was told. “I suppose If T had hired a halfdozen able lawyers like you,” retorted the convicted client, "I would have pulled a life sentence."—Washington Star.
Interesting Figure* Concerning Decoratiens for Lincoln Memorial Building at Washington. Simply to stretch the canvas, say* Jesse Lynch Williams, describing In Scribner's Magazine how Jules Guerin painted the decorations for the Lincoln Memorial building In Washington, required eight men, which is less surprising when one realizes that each figure In the groups Mr. Guerin was about to paint Is a good deal larger than the painter himself. One agrees with the writer that, although such detail* are not necessary to art appreciation, It Is Interesting to know that the two unpainted canvases cost $400 apiece, and that when the artist finished his work the paint he had used added 150 pounds I to their weight. And because the paintings will be somewhat exposed to weather, the paint was mixed with wax, in a way which chemical analysis shows was done to weatherproof painting when the ancient kings of Egypt were erecting memorial buildings.
While the Sun Shines. One morning Mr. Jenkins, the proprietor of the village provision stores, tecoived a letter which caused him to Vidulgc In a few imprecation* at Its ■ ool effrontery. It ran as follows: "Dear Sir - Will you lot my little hoy.

Of course, he Is a Utile fussy about his mending, and I often have to do his n|iw shirts over a few times, and he has a wee prejudice against tny entertaining any of my own friends or relatives, hut we all have our little fallings, and. taking It all In all—and you can say what you please- I call my John an Ideal husband."—Life.
Sounded Bad. She was a professor's wife and she was awfully proud of her hubby. One day when the Smlth-Joneses came along to tea, she told them all utmut him. “He's a wonder, 1* tny husband," she said. “Just at this minute he is In the laboratory conducting some experiment. The professor expects to go down to posterity—” B-r-r-l Trash! Rattle! Another B-r-r from the direction of the laboratory. “I hope he hasn’t gone," said one of tla- visitors anxiously.

To Supply Natural Gas Deficiency. It is expected that In the near future artificial gas for heating purposes will he substituted largely for natural gas in the Pittsburgh and other districts where a considerable shortage In supply of natural gas has developed. This was the prediction made at a conference held rceontly under the auspices of the public service commission In Pittsburgh. The Philadelphia company, which has been a largo supplier of natural gas for ninny years. It Is stated. Is now prepared to supply 7.000,000 cubic feet of artificial gas per day, and expects in the near future to be able to supply 30,000.000 cubic feet of artificial gas per day.

Bias easy ns you can on me, your honor. I had hard luck.” “How so?” “While we were fighting another fellow leased the flat."—Birmingham Age-Herald.
Not for Him. “Here’s Just the thing for your now mansion,” said the art dealer. “Dautr lelgh’s famous canvas, ‘The Portrait of a Lady.’" "How much Is It wuth?” asked the man who had recently growh rich la the oil fields. “Only $14)0.000.” “What! A hundred thousand bucks for the picture of a lady! Great fhrlstoplier, muu ! I don’t even know her!"
Why Women Go Mad. “You used to say I reminded you of a woodland sprite," she complained. "You never tell me any more Hint I'm as beautiful as Hie dawn or that my eyes are translucent pools In which you set* reflections of Klyslnn vistas." “1 know," lie replied, still studying Ihe market page. "Since 1 have to give so nnii'li of my attention to hard facts 1 fen-cui to have lost my imagination."
Valued for HI* Silence. "The Tondvllle Clarion pays a handsome compliment to Kllphalet Sogshy, an old citizen who died the other day.” “What does the editor of the Clarion have to say?” “Thla: ’The Hon.
