A guide in the Yellowstone park tells the following: Us fellers had the mostest fun when a Washington cove named Hall went through the park. That was about three years ago, when the "Beehive" geyser just broke loose, and everybody was hot for aeein the "Beehive." Wall, os drivers had heerd tell as how this Hall waa pow'rful smart at srinon ixin, so we all piles np ter the chapel. I ain't much of a judge, bnt I think it waa about as ordinary a piece o' preach in as I ever heerd. Never heerd a shout from the amen benches, an not a soul got religion, an I don't think much of a parson as can't stir up more excitement than that So my pal. Geyser Bob, he was there,' and said he, "I bet 1 know a feller as can empty that whole room quicker than a coyate can kick." "All right," sei L and I knowed there was goin ter be some fun, bnt 1 was a bit afraid that Bob was a goin to shoot: but he didn't He just yells in the door. "The Beehive is spoutin!" an inside of ten seconds there wasn't but six people in the bouse besides the preacher, an he sei quick aa a wink, fer I think he want ed ter git ont himself, "Brethern, think we better adjourn the meeting ter see the Beehive." Philadelphia Record. Vhu Wigs Wei Popular. Writers transmit to us some curious facts in regard to the demand and sup ply of false hair when wigs were in fashion. The trade in wigs, for France supplied all the rest of Europe, became immeuse, and was represented in Paris by a large number of wholesale mer chants, who employed cutters to operate in the provinces, especially in Normandy, Flanders and Holland, where the hair of the women was finer. The hair of warm countries was not wanted, because too coarse. English women and girls did not care to part with their hair, and were not so poor as to be forced to the sacrifice. Some villages in Normandy furnished as much as ten pounds, aver aging two feet in length. . The price was from four to five francs a pound, and it was cut from the heads of the living, from the heads of the dead or sewed after combing, each kind having its commercial name. The great demand at last rendered the supply so scarce that horsehair had to be used in stead or in part. Cincinnati Commer cial Gazette. Queer Place for a Tree. ' "One of the most unique sights I have ever seen on my travels," said Arthur Thomas, of New York, is the old court house in Greencastle, Ind. I was in the town the other day, and my attention was called to a full grown tree. Now, the curious thing about this tree was that it didn't grow on terra firms, but on the tower of the court house. The tree sprouted years ago from a crevice in the bricks of the tower, and it devel oped year after year, until now it is a foot or more in circumference at the trunk. It is one of the most curious tree growths I have seen anywhere. It will have to go soon, however, for the county is going to construct a new court house. It seems a pity that it cannot be preserved, for it is a fine specimen of erratic tree growth. Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette. A Dog That Devours Hard Cash. ' Have yon ever gone across the inlet with a yachting party and seen Mr. J. D. Smith's shaggy haired dog? He is the most extraordinary shaggy haired dog that you will ever see. He eats hard cash.

In tlis Pennsylvania oil regions, having been the Brat town to spring Into life under the wonderful tinmlua of the oil xeiteinent It ia located on Oil creek, two and a half miles above Oil City, and it was here that the third well was drilled for oil, and on the McKlkamiy farm, a short distance above Roiisevllle, the flrst real "anouter" was struck. This was the famous Fountain well,' which flowed a stream of oil over the top of the derrick, high above tin talleat trees in the neigh borhood, and started the great rush of people Into this wonderful region. This was once a great oil metropolis, with banking offices, score of hotels and all the commercial facilities of a city. Being so near to Oil City and Petroleum Center, its population uever got above 10,000, If It reached that figure, but it was on of' the most active cities in the belt of oil. It was surrounded by some of the wonderful flow ing wells of early oil days. Ths Widow Mo Clintock farm, which fell into the poeaemrfon of Johnny Steele, afterwards known to tits world aa "Coal Oil Johnny," is within sight of this town. Like all other oil towns, Rouw vllle has been swept by lire a uuraber of timet, and there is but little of the old town left What Is left of it is a curious old relic, tn which there to but little to suggest the bustle and excitement and the fortunes lust aud won in former days. "Coal Oil Johnny" Is by no means the only man who found an eaay fortune within sight of this queer old town. The first (treat oil fire was here when the Rouse well was burned, and Henry Bouse, after whom the town was named, was bin-nod to death, along with sixteen other men. The story of this tragedy has been told in tbeo columns and need not be repented. It was the most appalling tragedy in the history of oil fires, and, being the first, it created a won derful sensation. There has been talk of erecting a monument on the site of the Are to honor the memory of the sixteen men who were the flrst to perish in the development of the oil region. Cot Drake, who drilled the first oil well, has no monument yet, aud the citizens of Rouseville do not believe that either monument will ever be erected. If oil were found la a literal lake. Instead of iu a porous rock, Rouseville, like Petro leum Ceuter, would have been situated over a lake of oil A number of big wells were struck within the limits of the town, and great "gushers" surrounded the town on every side. Not only were the Oil creek flats here wonderfully prolific, but Cherry run, which empties into Oil creek at this point, produced some wells only second In richness to the Oil creek wells. Some of the largest of these were near Rouseville, and it can be said that the wells in the vicinity have produced enough oil to have sub merged the town. The money value of the oil taken from the ground near Rouseville is above SoO.OUO.OUO. The Story farm alone has produced about 10,000,000 worth of petro leum, and still has a small production per hape 100 barrels per month. The first well drilled at Rouseville, the third on the creek, as stated, was put down by the primitive method of a "spring pole engine," This was no engine at all, but a stout sapling, or spring pole to which the tools were attached. Three or four men would pull the spriug pole down and its spring fc'juld lift the tools for the next stroke. This was called "tramping a well down," and as many of them were tramped down to the depth of 500 and fiOO feet the operation waa very slow and tedious. No less than 150 wells were put down on Oil creek in this crude way before steam was ap plied to the work. Where three mouths were often required to drill a well then, one is drilled now in ten days and even less. The history of some of the big wells near Rouseville is the history of many, and will serve to illustrate the amazing richness of the oil belt in this section. The Reed well, on Cherry run, was struck July 17, 1864. It was located on an acre of leased ground. The land interest was to receive one-quarter of the oil aud the owners of the well the balance. One well was put down, and in ninety days from starting the drill 7tsa,uuu had been real ised from it by the working interest alone. The Mingo Oil company, of Philadelphia, bought out one-quarter of the land interest in the well for I2SO.OO0, a ter the owner had al ready sold 130.000 worth of oil from it. Mr. Reed, after selling (75,000 worth of oil from his account, sold to Bishop, Bisaell & Co. half of bis iuterest for 1200,000. A man named Frazier bait an interest in the well that netted him (100,000 in oil, and be afterwards sold his interest for (100,000 cash. Most of these sales were cash in hand. The Mingo Oil company raid (2SO.O00 for their interest in one pay ment. Three other wella were drilled on this one acre of ground, and from the foor wella (2,000,000 were realized. This Is perhaps tu richest acre of ground ever developed in in oil country. The original owners were men of small means, and all became wealthy from this single transaction. Even the t'lnladel phia and New York companies who bought them out at such extravagant figures real ized handsomely from their investment There is no sign of the Reed well or any of its rich neighlwrs now. The places where tb derricks and tanks stood are grown high with weeds and bushes, and from the mine of wealth the spot has returned to its primitive wildness and worthlessneea. Rouseville (Pa.)

"In my early days," he was saying, "I was a member of a little baud of minstrels whom modesty was in perfect keeping with its size.

As 1 was the star I instated that, in order to give tone to toe company, the manager and I should bead tbe proces sion in a carriage.

Well, there was a funeral that day, but the stable keeper, who wai an Irishman, promised faithfully to be on hand at tbe tavern by 2 o'clock. The members of the company, surrounded by a crowd or gap ins rustics, were standing out on tbe plank walk waiting for the start, and 1 was on tbe porch waiting impatiently for 'me coach.' At 1 M o'clock I looked down tbe road In the direction of the stable and discovered an nnen carriage with two horses on a dead run, driven bv our Irish friend, who yelled out to me as he reined in bis panting steeds before door: "Av yes thought 1 wasn't coorain', sure yz don't know Pat Shea, for, be hev 1ns, I'd been here on toime av I'd a had to brought the corpse wid met" New York Star. ; , A Popular Aristocratic Clnb.

THE-BORDER MEXICANS.' CHARACTERISTICS OF TH6 HAPPY PEASANTS OF THE SOUTHWEST. ataallslnaj BousMau's Ueltnltloa of Pr dura Simple Uvea That Hav a Great IXalof rjiivanilahaNl Happiness l Them. A Look at th Bettor Side at the Oreaaen Alone a zone of our southwest bonier, (ram theOulf of California to Corpus Christ!, on the Texas coast, Is found a type of being that is almost au anomaly, eveu among our pwn cosmopolitan classes. The border Mexi can, or "greaser," has no nation, yet he Is distinctly local He Is the evolution of that arled and sun kissed belt characterised by flora and fauna asacrimonlous and aa shaggy as himself and beat exemplified by the cactus, tb coyote and the burro. You cannot ac cuse nature of making a mistkik in bis crea tion, for be is an adaptation that rise auper lor to adversity. You will find him pictur esque and, when better known, not all bad. This Mexican it far Iwlow the nation's repre sentative, yet h is not th degraded peou or serf of tbe land. He Is rather what th peon has become in tho two generations he has en joyed the freedom of our government, if not wiser, at least less servile. Be is generally admitted to be the resultof a fusion for some centuries of tbe Spaniard with that mild trpeof semi-civilised Indian of the Cortes conquests, but ia nearer th Spaniard, whose beautiful language, further softened into a dialect, he still retains. This may b due to laziness, but Is more probably from the liquid movement of Indian speech peculiar to sum of the southern tribes, as shown by the pres ent language of the Ptmaa and Maricopas of southern Arizona. WAIT NOT THE UNATTAlMABLS. The Mexicans are the happiest of contented creatures, and, though poverty is their uni versal heritage, tlioy have no wauts, dean Jacques Rounwsu must have been among a similar peasant class in Italy when he wrote so truthfully that "He only is free who wants nothing beyond what he can get aud doe harmlessly as he pleases." There are two classes of Mexican peasauts, me utoraujes and the Raucherne. Th former are the milder, simpler people found sprinkled along the small canyons and valleys on little plots of bottom laud adjacent and Irrigated by slmnle or community ditches called acequias, which lead from the streams, winding along the bank in a gradual way till the stream's lower level will permit them finally to wan der over the bottom. They bridge no ar- rovas. build no dams, arches or culverts, and use only nature's level, water, to give th grade required tor their canals, in engin eering ability they are as far behind tb Az tecs, who once inhabited this valley, as ar the present Egyptians oenina cneir ancestor under Menes. 1 A plot of a few acres supports an entire family of a dosen, exclusive of dogs aa many more. First a crop of melons and cebada (melons and barley); latere crop of frejole and calabaxas (Mexican beans aud pumpxiiw). A little pepper and onions and their commis sary is complete. The Rancheros hav more or less cattle, ponies, sheep or goats, are lees local in their tastes and are more naruy, so that it Is among them that Is sometimes found that outlaw element that has mauVUrMwer th synonym for bandit and has stamped tb race as thieving and treaciierous. i nis coar- acter w oartly the result of a traditional sen timenta spirit or adventurous resistance to tvrannv. On the Mexican side a man who evades their outrageous taxes and customs ia a hero; one killed in an attempt to do so, s martyr. The government only is the robber.

Everything baa been removed from the house but a row of "sillaa" (chairs and boxes), placed around the sides of tbe room, which it lurhted bv a few beds of glowing coals placed at Intervals on the freshly swept, hard packed earth floor, by a few candles cemented to brackets or projecting adobe bricks by their own wax, and by tbe star beams that sift through the thatched roof aud ceiling. , The coals serve also as a stove and ires light lor cigarettes.

Tbe men are indifferent to dress except so far at to having a broad, light felt sombrero, and a anu-f. or sash, of brizbt colored wool or silk about their waist. To a Mexican girt' dano- inir is Instinct. Their accentuation it so per fect, their movements so yielding and full of muscular grace, that to waltz with on on an earth floor, where the friction Is something frightful, la not impossible. Let those who decry dancing as a vice of civilization, an un natural pleasure erected for a sensation, com and learn of these poetio savages tb rhythm of motion. For they are poetic; there Is a perfume of romance in tbe songs found in the poorest "jacal;" a sensuous soiv Bern that our languag cannot render. 1 re call one being at a "baile," where In the in terval between the dances I asked one of the vounz ladies to give as a Mexican- song, which she did to an accompaniment on tbe euitar. It was exquisitely soft, though I could only catch enough of th Spanish to know that its theme was love. When the niece was flnlshed she wanted us to return the 'courtesy by a song in English. W hastened to avow with tb usual frankness in such cases, that we could not sing, but tb girl evidently did not believe us, and would sing no more for us in spite of entreaty.
