This Man a Great Benefactor.
Charles I’a^e, multimillionaire oil
man of Tulsa, Okie., has seventy adopt
ed children,-and wants to adopt 1,000.
In addition to 1,000 poor hoys and
girls, ho is preparing to caro for poor
widows.
For the care of the seventy children
he has built n large home on a wooded
hill. It is crowded to its capacity with
boyB and girls. Ho is getting ready to
build this winter another home that
will house 200 children, Bnd when this
is finished he will begin building more
homes until he has accommodations for
1,000.
He has already built eight houses
for poor widows, has four more under
construction, and will havo 100 built
this winter.
The seventy boys and girls have an
eighty-acre park for a playground, a
lake of fourteen acres for swimming
and boating, u wading pool for the
smaller ones, hospital, zoological gar
den, a kindergarten and graded school,
and u $10,000 high school.
Mr. I’age will build this winter a
hospital that will be in charge of great
surgeons and specialists. Ho plans
this hospital to be as good in every
way and as famous as that of the Mayo
brothers in Rochester, Minn.
And who 1b this man?
Forty-five years ago, when CharleB
Page was a boy of 10, his father died,
leaving n widow Bnd seven children.
His father had been in the teaming
business in Stevens Point, Wis. The
widow, with the house full of small
children, had a hard time of it.
One day while she was doing the
washing for a neighboring family and
had stopped a minute to rest, the boy
who is now a millionaire stood before
her and watched the tears running
down her cheeks.
“You just wait, mamma, till I get to
be a big man, and rich, and you won’t
have to wash any more, nor any other
woman won’t either. I’ll take care of
all the poor widows and orphans, ’ ’ the
little fellow said.
Edward Page, brother of Charles,
says he remembers well that incident,
and of how his mother grabbed Charles
in her arms and hugged him and wept
all the more.
When he had grown big enough
Charles became messenger boy for the
Wisconsin Central railway, and then he
became a brukeman, and later on rail
road fireman. Every dollar he earned,
abovo living expenses, in those days
went to his widowed mother and her
fatherless children.
Charles drifted weBt to the Pacific
coast, worked in the gold mines in
Idaho, was hungry many a time, and
penniless for weeks. Ho drifted uast-
wnrd to the oil fields of Colorado and,
seven yearB ago, came to Chandler,
Okla., with $5,000 in cash, which he
soon lost in the oil fields near Chandler.
Then oil was discovered in the fa
mous Glenn Pool field, south of Tulsa,
and Pago went to a spot near there with
$0,000 he ruised by mortgaging » piece
of property in Colorado, lie got an
oil lonse on a small tract of Indian land
in what iB known now ns the Taneha
Held, and put down a well. When he
struck oil, he spent the next few weeks
in gelling oil lenses on the land sur
rounding his well in all directions. That
first was a wonderful well. It flowed
2,000 barrels of oil a day and every bar
rel of it worth 05 cents in cash nt the
well, an income of $700 a day for Page,
minus one-eighth of the product, which
went to the owner of his land as his
share.
He drilled other wells on the land he
had leased, and they were good pro
ducers, too, and one day a syndicate
of financiers from New York, led by Com
modore Benedict, James King Duffy
and Clifford li. Harmon, offered him
$1,000,000 in cash for his leases. Page
asked for $500,000 more and the sale
was finally made for $1,250,000 cash,
which was paid to Page.

A little girl, visiting relatives, al
luded to n certain cousin whose name
was unknown to her hosts.
"Are you sure she is your cousin,
dear?" they asked her.
"Well, she’s a sort of a cousin,” the
child replied slowly. "She’s just so
far gone that if she were a boy I could
marry her."
Sam Davis.
Home end Farmutead.
The story of how Sam Davis, the
boy spy of the Confederacy, who stood
the supreme test in moral and physi
cal courage, is one which will never
lose ith interest nor its thrill to the de
scendants of the brave men who fought
in the great Civil-War.
Out of those Btirring war times,
when lives were held cheaply and
deeds of bravery were common, come
chronicles ami records of heroes who
died for the common cause. But Sam
Davis not only gave his life cheerfully
and fearlessly for the cause he was
serving, but to protect his superior
officer.
When the war broke out Davis, who
was a mere boy, left school and en
listed in the First Tennessee regiment.
Two years later, because of his keen in
telligence and soldierly qualities, he
was assigned to a party of scouts under
the command of Capt. Shaw. Shaw
was a Confederate spy who was known
within the Federal lines as Coleman.
Posing as an itinerant doctor, he was
able to gather considerable information,
which he sent through the lines in the
care of one of his scouts.
On one occasion he selected young
Davis to carry to Gen. Bragg certain
papers, giving late and important news
regarding the movements of the Federal
forces. The Union men had become
aware of the existence of spies in the
camp, and the undertaking had as
sumed a most perilous aspect, as they
were keeping a sharp lookout.
Davis hid the dangerous documents
in his shoes, and, with Coleman'B pass,
started South for Bragg's headquarters.
On his first day out he was run down
and captured by the "Jayhawkers,”
the famous Kansas Seventh Cavalry.
The papers were discovered, and that
night he was lodged in jail in PulaBki.
On the same day Capt. Shaw himself
had been captured and was a prisoner
in the same town. Davis’ reports
were placed in the hands of Gen.
Dodge, the Federal commander, who
twice had him brought to headquarters,
where he was urged to disclose the name
of the one who had committed to him
the captured messages. It was pointed
out that his only hope of leniency lay in
the disclosing of this information.
This ho refused to do. Gen. Dodge,
strongly touched by the boy’s sense of
honor and duty, pleaded hurd with him,
but Davis answered: “I will not tell
where I got the information, and there
is no power on earth thnt can make me
tell. You are doing your duty as a
Boldier, and, if I have to die, I shall be
doing my duty to God and my country. ”
On Nov. 27, on« week from the day
of his capture, Davis waH executed on
the gallows as a spy. Calmly and
feurlessly, without Bound of inspiring
drums or cheer of trumpet, with no
dug Hying, with no comrade beside him,
surroundod only by an impatient foe,
he gave his life rather than violute his
sense of duty to his superior. His
last words were, “The boys will have
to light their battles without me.”
That was his only regret.
The memory of this heroic American
boy has been honored by a statue which
stands in a public squuru at Nashville,
Tenn.

Let your outlook on life be on ^he
bright side, which is the best side. Y’ou
may ho having u difficult time, but
things will not be a bit easier to bear
by your wearing a dejected counte
nance. Cast aside the sable cloak of
discontent in which you have wrapped
yourself. You have vour woes—so hnve
other people. None are entirely free
from the trials of this world. Lot dif
ficulty act like a tonic on your life
strengthening you to greater effort to
overcome the obstacles which surround
you on all sides; let it serve to make
you more anxious to reach the goal of
your ambition. Your sky mny be over
cast by the dark clouds of adversity;
but wait —soon the clouds will break
away, and the sunlight of prosperity
will shine upon you. The poet tells us
“Then* wan nsver a night without n day
Nor an evening without a morning.
And iho darkest hour, the proverb* nay.
la tho hour beforo tho dawning."
—A. M. O’Connell.
Some one says the wealth of the rich
ia the poverty of the poor. There is
some truth as well as poetry in this.
The New Tariff.
Youth’s Companion.
We are living under the new tariff.
How many of us are aware of any
change?
During the long months that inter
vened between the Democratic victory
and the final enactment of the law, the
people were divided between hope and
apprehension. A great majority of
them were undoubtedly of the opinion
that the former tariff was oppressive,
that it increased the tendency to a
higher cost of living, and that a reduc
tion would afford name relief.
Others—a minority—feared that an
extensive reduction of duties would
bring about a great importation of
foreign goods that, by competing with
domestic products, would displace
American labor, depress business and
retard enterprise. Their fears in
creased toward the end, when it be
came evident that the reductions were
to be greater than the leaders of the
dominant party had originally proposed.
There was, and there still is, reason
to think that both the hope and the ap
prehension wire exaggerated. No
doubt Borne articles of common use that
have been made free of duty will by and
by be appreciably cheaper. No doubt
also a few industries that were in a
great measure dependent upon the
tariff will be injuriously affected. But
the very magnitude of the American
market, and of our consumption both of
agricultural produce and of manufac
tured goods, secures us against serious
disturbance.
So far as this view of the situation is
correct, it indicates that the average
citizen will not discover any great dif
ference in the cost of living by rea
son of the new tariff; that the man
ufacturer will not suffer, either in the
amount of his business or in his profits
by the loss of his tariff protection; and
that the factory workman will not be
forced to submit to a reduction of
wages.
Telling the Truth.
According to the New York Tele
graph, Editor Alex Appleby, of the
Leesville (Colo.) Light, is tired of be
ing criticized, and speaks his mind on
the subject of newspaper truth-telling.
Ho says:
“Many people kick because the pa
pers never tell the truth. Let the man
or woman in Leesville who wants us to
tell the truth about him or her stand up
and we'll try to be accommodating.”
That puts the matter up to the peo
ple of Leesville, and if they do not ac
cept the challenge Editor Appleby may
feel pretty certain that they do not
want the truth told—about themselves.
And the chances are they will not
stand up. On tho other hand, they will
"duck” their heads if they think he is
looking in their direction. The trouble
is, people who clamor for the truth to
bo told in the newspapers, while they
may be in earnest about it, they want
it told ahout the other fellow only. A
is very anxious for the truth to come
out without varnish if B gets into
trouble—and the same is true of B if A
should become the subject of a news
paper article. But neither wants to
see the truth published about himself.
So very much opposed to such a pro
ceeding are they that the moment they
get into any sort of trouble they rush
to the newspaper office and plead for
it to be "held out.” They put up all
sorts of pleas and reasons why it Bhould
not appear.
And yet if the same thing should
happen to someone else, they would be
among the first to condemn the news
papers for not publishing it—all of
which shows that the average man does
not want the truth printed—if it is
about himself.
His Stomach Troubles Over.
Mr Dyspeptic, would you not like to
foci that your stomach troubles were
over; that you could eat any kind of
food you desired without injury? That
may seem so unlikely to you that you
do not evon hope for an ending of your
trouble, but permit us to assure you
that it is not altogether impossible. If
others can be cured permanently, (and
thousnnds have been,) why not you?
John R. Barker, of Battle Creek, Mich.,
is one of them. He says. “I was trou
bled with heartburn, indigestion, and
liver complaint until l used Chamber
iuin’s Talilets. then my trouble was
over.” Sold by all dealers.

cuff buttons, or a silk umbrella—they
are very good friends.

tiny silver frame, a locket watch fob,
handsome scarf-pin set with his birth-

John Henry's Share.
Philadelphia Telegraph.
They were speaking of the wonderful
days of courtship, when he willingly
made a million sacrifices to appear
like great wealth in the dear one's
beautiful eyes. There was a merry
chuckle on the part of Gov. Locke
Craig of North Carolina, who was one
of the dinner party. He said he was
reminded of the case of John Henry.
John Henry, according to the Gover
nor, took the darling of his heart to a
cafe where it is expensive to eat. The
dear one had said she wasn’t hungry,
so the young lover thought he would
escape with no greater blow than an
ice cream ticket.
But, alas! Likewise woe! It was a
pheasant that the dear one ordered,
with fixings to match. All that John
Henry could do was to watch her and
suffer.
“Jackey, dear,” she sweetly re
marked, diving into the luscious bird,
“you are not eating a bit of this pheas
ant. Won’t you have some?”
“No, darling,” responded John Hen
ry, “I have had all that I want."
"All that you want, dear?” exclaimed
the young woman, showing great sur
prise. “Why, you haven’t had any!”
“Yes, I have, sweet,” answered John
Henry, with something akin to a sigh.
"The waiter just handed me the bill.”
A Difference in Working Hours.
A man’s working day is 8 hours. His
body organs must work perfectly 24
hours to keep him fit for 8 hours’ work.
Weak, sore, inactive kidneys cannot
do it. They must be sound and healthi
ly active all the time. Foley’s Kidney
Pills will make them so. You cannot
take them into your system without
good results following. J. F. Lee Drug
Co.
Those Who Sneer.
When you hear a man sneering at the
local paper because it is not as big, cheap
and newsy as the city papers, you can
safely bet he does not squander any of
hia wealth in assisting to make it bet
ter, and that generally the paper has
done more for him than he has for
it. The man who cannot see the bene
fits arising from a local newspaper is
of about as much value to a town as a
delinquent tax list.—Houston Post.
This man is found in every com
munity, however. He is the fellow
who takes up about $2.50 worth of your
time giving you a 15-cent want ad. and
then thinks you ought to send him the
paper for about a month free. Also,
he will come around to the office fre
quently and ask for a paper, but never
think of offering to pay for it.
That is the kind of support he gives
his local paper, and upon which it must
grow and become large and newsy like
the big city papers.
Colds to Be Taken Seriously.
Intelligent people realize that com
mon colds should be treated promptly.
If there is sneezing and chilliness with
hoarseness, tickling throat and cough
ing, begin promptly the use of Foley’s
Honey and Tar Compound. It is effec
tive, pleasant to take, checks a cold,
and stops the cough which causes loss
of sleep and lowers the vital resistance.

“What are you going to call the new
baby?”
“Reginald Claude,” replied Mr. Blig-
gins.
“Isn’t ‘Reginald Claude’ a rather af
fected name?”
"Yes. I want him to grow up to be a
fighter, and I fancy that ‘Reginald
Claude’ will start something every time
he goes to a new school.”
