Tefiing Fortunes by the Leaves In tho
Teacup.
Ever so manv people would like
to have their fortunes told by the
appearance of the leaves in their
teacups, hut very few people know
how i<> tell the fortunes.
The way to do is this: After you
kave drawn your tea, leaving just
a few drops with the leaves, first
make a wish and repeat it three
times in your mind, then twirl the
cup around so as to shake up the
leaves as much as possible. Do this
three time:?, from left to right, then
turn the cup upside down and, set
ting it in the saucer, twirl it again
three times, left to right; then, look
ing in, read the fortune:
I have a fortune rhyme to use:
"On" leaf alone, alone you'll be;
Two together, the priest you'll see;
Three in groups, your wish you'll gain;
Four, a letter from loving swain;
Five, pood news the letter '11 bring;
Six in a row. a song you'll sing;
Seven together, great fortune waits
For you? so say the teacup fates.
Tea leaves short and tea leaves tall
Bring you company great and small;
'Tea leaves many and dotted fine
Are of hail luck the surest sign;
Tea leaves few and ejonn the rim,
Your cup with Joy o'erllows the brim."
Birds Are Hard Workers.
Birds can and do work far hard
er than human beings. A pair of
i house martins when nesting will
feed their young once in twenty sec
onds ? that is, each bird, male and
female, makes ninety journeys to
and fro in an hour, or about 1,000
a day. ft must be remembered that
on each journey the bird has the
added work of catching the worm.
Even so tiny a bird as the wren
lias been countcd ' ? ? \kc 110 trips
to and from its nest within 4-'J0
minutes, aud the prey it carried
home consisted of larger, heavier
and harder to find insects than were
caught by the sparrows. Among
them were twenty good sized cater
pillars, ten grasshoppers, seven spi
ders, eleven worms and more than
one fat chrysalis.
The Fisher Game.
The players all seize a tablecloth
or a similar sheet by the edges. The
one who is chosen as leader says:
'"I fish for all kinds of fish. When
1 say, 'Let go!' you must hold fast.
When 1 say, 'Hold fast!' you must
let go."
Then the leader begins to speak
quickly, saying anything that comes
into his head, until suddenly he
says, '"Let go!" or, "Hold fast!". at
a time when he imagines thai he
can catch the others oif their guard.
Those who are caught must pay a
forfeit.
A Painful End, No Doubt.
A teacher once told her class that
a child should make up a sentence
with the words "bitter end" for the
last words of the sentence. She
waited for quite awhile. After
awhiie a small boy said he knew a
sentence, so she told him to go
ihead. "Our dog chased the ne.ft
door cat over the fence and 'bitter
end' " (bit her end).

Sport Was at Home.
A short time ago Frank, aged
three and a half years, was uptown
with his mother. In coming out of
one of the large stores a man acci
dentally ran into him and, catching
hold of him (Frank) to keep from
falling, said. "Hello, there, Sport!'* j
Frank, looking up, replied: "I ain't
* dog. Sport is at home." ? New

BRIEF REVIEW OF I
KANSAS OIL FIELD
I
Increased Activity lr\ April Over March and
More Oil Is Produced
(Copyright by H. G. James.)
In spite of a rapidly declining
market and the fact it is claimed
in many quarters oil cannot
profitably be produced at the
present price paid for it, the
monthly oil report for April, here
with presented, shows an increase
both in the number of wells com
pleted and new production. Dur
ing April there were 389 com
pletions in the two sections of the
field, with an estimated .product*
ion of 10,225 barrels. This rep
resents 41 more wells drilled and
1,134 barrels new production more
a day than in March. The in
crease was largely in the Chero
eke Nation, where there was ex
ceptional activity in the Chelsea
Alluwe shallow sand territory.
An unsual amount of work was
also completed in the shallow ter
ritory of Kansas at Paola. The
wells in neither of these districts
are large, but the sand is regular
and quite sure, while the holes
are inexpensive to drill.
The average production of Kan
sas wells completed in April de
creased from 15.8 barrels in March
to 17.9 barrels, while the average
of Territory wells decreased from
59.9 barrels to 52.5 barrels.
While the number of comple
tions is far short of January, the
production is the largest yet re
corded in any one month, Here
tofore there has been more drill
ing in the Osage than the Cher
okee on account of the restrict
ions of the government in the
Cherokee, but the approval of
many leases and the requirements
of immediate operations has caus
ed the Cherokee to far outstrip
the Osago recently in new work.
The cause of the slump in the
market is assigned to the enor
mous production which has been
so suddenly developed. Many
who can do so are discontinuing
operations, but there are a con
siderable number who are com
pelled to drill in order to hold
their grants or leases from' the
government.
Thus it will be seen the govern
ment is placed in rather a peculiar
position. While it is carrying on
an investigation as to why the
price of oil has been slaughtered
it is compelling the immediate de
velopment of rich territory which
cannot help but further ravish
the market. Representations are
to be made to the secretary of the
interior department to this effect,
with a petition that this provision
of Cherokee leases be removed,
or, in other words, that the time j
for development work to begin j
be extended.
The most active opperations the
past month in Kansas were in the
Paola district until a few months
ago was without pipe line acconv
modations and, until about April
20, all of the oil connected to the
pipe line was taken. These wells
were pumped night and day, and
as a result every leaseholder pret
ty nearly rushed the drill so that i
there were 53 completed in" April.
Paola producers have been noti
fied that hereafter only two tanks
of oil a day will be run, and as a
result new work threatens a de
cided dropping off. Montgomery
county, which until recently com
pleted more wells every month
than all of the southern fields, in
April only had 35 completions to j
her credit. Chautauqua county,
which a few months ago was drill- 1
ing 70 and 8* wells a month, only
completed 34 in April. But could j
all the oil be disposed of in less
than 60 days there would he 500
strings of tools at work in the field.
There are thousands of acres to
be drilled, hundreds of men idle
and scores of companies itching
for the word to go at it.
In the Cleveland (Okla.) dis
trict theite were more completions
in April than in March, but May
1, breaks nearly even with April
1, in the amount of new work. It
is very quiet in that town. Prob
ably 150.000 to 200,000 barrels of
is backed up in private storage,
and very little is being run. All
efforts to find an outlet to the
town pool have failed and the
summer there threatnes to be dull.
It is estimated there are 500.000
barrels of oil hold in private stor
age in the entire field. A Wayside
producer is making arrangements i
to dispose of the heavy fuel oil j
of that district in Wichita, and a
carload of oil for experimental I
purposes will be shipped there {
this week. There is a general j
feeling that with these outlet!
avenues in operation next fall will i
see conditions very much im-i
proved in the field.

"I hated work in those days,'' he
said. "One morning my father led
me into the garden a e.d pointed to
a bed of flowers that had a eonsider
I able number of weeds in it.
" '1 want you," said my father, 'to
I weed out this flower bed.' %
"I exartiincd the task ahead of.
me. and the more I looked at it the
bigger it seemed to grow. 1'enainlv
1 had never <ecn so many weeds in
my life.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE
The Enamel Treatment For Kitchen
Ginks and Pumps.
Verliaps one of the handiest of
a'l helps that a woman has in her
kitchen is a sink. But there are
sink* and sinks. The old fashioned
box sink is done away Willi in i rnjtet
homes, and the iron ones with lep=
for support are the cleaned and
most sanitary. Now lor thetrea
ment, which is for those , ?rth?
pump>and also a faucet.
iiclc' are needed-a good paint
brush, can of white paint and can o
white enamel. If old pint is on it
can bo'rer.-.oved with boiling w-tcr
in which two tablcspoonfuls of
washing soda have been dissoKed to
two quarts of water. ^ hen . *
trive coat of white paint and when
perfectly dry give another then
when hard give one coat of white
enamel, inside and out, and also the
pump, ('are must betakenthat
none of the paint gets mto thc
waste pipe, if left to harden for a
day or two hot water can be thrown
in' the sink without the enamel
cracking. It can be kept in per
fect condition, with ordinary use,
bv giving a coat of enamel twice a
year. ? Farm Progress.
Care cf Silver Tableware.
The LkM way to keep silver
knive* forks or spoons from mark
in;; with the other pieces is to put
them in a flannel case made as fol
lows: Take a strip of canton flanuc
three-quarters of a yard long an
wide enough so that the pieces may
l?e entirely concealed, told it dou
ble the short way, then stitch the
folded pieces at intervals of two
inches, to form a series of pockets
to contain the pieces, lhe edges
of the pockets should conic two or
three inches above the ends oi the
nieces. When the pockets are tilled,
the case may be rolled up and tied
together with tape.
A Paper Pillow.
A paper pillow is invaluable in
sickness, especially in cases of fever,
as it keeps continually cool and i>
not expensive. All scraps of writing
paper, old notes, old envelopes? any
paper v liich comes to hand? may he
used. Cut these into strips about
one-hall' inch wide and two inches
long, curl them well with a pen
knife after mixing in a few shreds
of flannel, stutf the pillow case quite
full and you have a comfortable
pillow.
Cellar Disinfectant. ?
Many farmers have earth floors
in their cellars. After the spring
cleaning and scraping such should
be plentifully* sprinkled with a
strong solution of copperas, which
makes a good and cheap disinfect
ant. It should penetrate to the
farthest, darkest corners. Use it
freely in the drain and in the water
closets.
Squaring Himself.

f>eat the s-treet car conductor out of

"Never mind, my lme. When 1

conscience fund."

you askid him for my hand?"
