A CHILD’S SLEEPING PLACE.

VvillUmeporl, Ohio.
A remarkable feat of daring in a
child and a miraculous escape from
death is reported from Williams
port, O., where a vigorous search
for natural gas is going on. Gas
hunters have taken complete pos
sesion of the little hamlet and its
surroundings, and the prosecution
of their work furnishes interest and
curiosity for the country boys for
uules around. A gusher was struck
at Williamsburg the other day, and
a derrick 88 feet high is still stand
ing to support, a huge escape pipe,
from which at night blazes a llame
five feet high. Last Friday night

WILSON BROS,
l«d of 9 years, who remained at the
big derrick, while his companions
continued their journey. When the
boys were ready to return home the
little fellow was nowhere to be
found. One ol the boys looked up
and imagined tbal he discovered
the outline ot a torm on llie top
platform of the derrick. Taking
otf his shoes be climbed the dizzv
structure. When within a few leet
of the top be was horrified to find
little Jack peacefully asleep on the
very edge of the. derrick, with gas
burning high above him. Muster
ing all of bis courage, the rescuer
stealthily crept up to the little
slumberec and aroused him. The
lad sleepily rubbed bis eyes and
said be wanted to go home. It was
with great difficulty he was brought
down, owing to the rickety condi
tion of the derrick. While bis
companions were goue the child
had climbed to tbe top of the der-
r ck, and being tired soon fell
asleep. It was a miracle he did
not fall, as the plank upon which he
was found is by actual measurment
only 6 leet long and 2 leet wide.

Value of Cotton Need.
There has been a great increase
in tbe value of cotton seed since
tbe manufacture of oil therefrom
has assumed large proportions, and
the increase h likely to continue
as tbe manufacture increases and
tbe use of cotton seed oil is ex
tended. Not many years ago tbe
planter who cared to sell bis cotton
seed felt that he was fortunate if
be could get 10c. per bushel for it.
Now the average price paid by tbe
agents of the oil mills is nearly
doublo that of five or six^-ears
ago.
The seed from a bale of cotton
will bring $5 in almost any part of
tbe South, but comparatively few
farmers care to sell it at any ob
tainable price. Although it is con
tended that tbe oil contained in
cotton seed is worthless as a fer
tilizer, tbe whole seed is known to
be so valuable, both alone nnd in
compost, that it is not considered
economy to sell it and supply its
place with cotton seed meal at the
present prices ot these atticles.
The demand for cotton oil seems
to be increasing and its use ex
tending. Difficulty has already
been experienced in securing suffl
cient seed to supply the mills, even
when the production of oil was
limited by tbe pool. Tbe manu
facturers were obliged at different
times to raise tbe price which tbey
bod agreed to pay for seed. Tbe
present priee in tbe Mississippi
valley averages about $12 per ton,
while the price of uotton seed meal,
adapted for use as feed stuff or as
fertilizer, is about $20 per ton*
Should the demand for oil increase
so that tbe mills can run on full
time, there is little doubt that tbey
could afford to pay folly $20 per
tou for the seed. This would be
30c. per bushel. If farmers near
railroad and steamboat lines could
get that price for their cotton seed,
tbey could afford to sell the bulk
of it and invest the money in fer
tilizers.
ArhDM* Traveler.
A merchant wrote as follows to
an Arkansaw man: “I am on my
deathbed and would like to have
the money you owe me. My phy
sician says that I can live but a few
days longer.”
Tbe Arkansaw man replied as
follows: “I received your letter a
few days ago and I expect you will
be dead by tbe time you receive
this. If not, I beg your pardon for
not sending tbe money. My expe
rience teaches me that a dying man
does not need money. If I were
dying it wouldn’t make any differ
ence to me whether I had ten dol
lars or was in debt. I have never
been dying, you understand, and
can not speak from experience, but
I am a man wbocan forecast things
pretty well and therefore do not
speak in a hap.hazard way. Some
fellow, I have forgotten who, said
that a dying mar. can do nothing
well. l’erbaps you know more
abrut this than I do, but allow me
to say that a dying man is a mighty
poor bill collector. If I were sent
out to find an efficient bill collector,
I would never select a dying man
no matter what his standing in the
community might be. Let me see,
! have owed you lor some time,
regret this very much but don
suppose that I regret it any deeper
than you do. If I had paid you I
would not now owe you anything.
At first this may not strike you as
the truth but mature reflection has
taught me that it is a fact. Atone
time after receiving tbe last letter
which I shall doubtless ever get
from you, I thought that I would
immediately forward the amount
which I owe you, but then I thought
that you might be dead and would
never know it. When I do a man
a favor I want him to kaow it,
Ingratitude is one of tbe roots of
all evil. I would rather pay a man
ten cents and impress him with tbe
fact, than to pay him ten dollars
and know that he would forever
remain in ignorance of the fact;
therefore, I hope that yon will un
derstand my position. But what
is the use of all this? You may lie
dead by tbe time this reaebez you,
in which event you would never
give me credit for all these expres
Mods of sympathy. As I previous
ly remarked, a dying man has no
need of money. Material things
are of but little ute to him. Well,
I mu9t close. If you are not dead
when you receive tbis piease let me
know and I will write you another
letter.”

Mr. Wm. Hunt of Ylneton, a
small place about twenty miles from
Selma, in Autauga county, on tbe
East Tenn., Ya. & Ga. K. R., was
the lucky man in tbe May drawing
of The Lonisi&na State Lottery. In
conversation yesterday with a
Times reporter at his home, the
following questions were asked and
answers given:
“I am told you struck The Lou
isiana State Lottery ricb?”sald tbe
reporter.
“Well,” replied Mr. Hunt,
don’t know whether you call
rich or not but I certainly bav
$15,000 which I drew in the lottery
on the 11th of May.”
“How long have you been invest
ing in tbe Louisiana, and what
have you paid out?”
“I have been sending a dollar
month for tbe past twelve months
and the twelfth dollar brought tue
$15,000.”
“How did you get your money?
“Well, you see I was notified
first by a printed circular, which
bad all the numbers that drew
prizes in it. I deposited my ticket
on the 17th of May with tbe City
National Bank of your city, and uo
tbe 22d, five days later, I bad my
money; and right here,” continued
the speaker, “I want you to say
that 1 had no trouble about getting
the amount my ticket called for.
It came promptly.”
In conversation further, Mr.
Hunt said: “I am thirty-nine years
old. I have a wife and three chil
dren. I own tbe place I live on
and farm and merchandise some,
I was behind five or six hundred
dollars when I drew the money
from tbe lottery; but that put me
on my feet, and I paid my debts,
I have put out $1,300 on good in
terei-t, and will turn tbe other Into
paying investments. For $1
drew a fifth of the capital prize,
and I am going to continue to send
one dollar every month so long as
I can raise that amount. 1 believe
the business is properly oarried on
and 1 shall patronize it in the fn
ture.”—Selma (Ala.) Times, June 1
