She was buried Monday and the next day the husband appeared at the cemetery and ordered the body disinterred. He had the insane hope of grief that perhaps there had been a mistake; that she was still alive. A physician was with his and when the coffin was opened and the body exposed to view, Ilderton went through the same expressions of grief that characterized the funeral. The coffin was closed and lowered, and when the grave was half filled, the half-crazed man insisted that it be raised again Mr. Dooley on "Opportunity "Opporchunity knocks! at iviry man's dure wanst," says Mr.i Dooley.

He rallied before the operation and demanded that he be allowed to dictate a letter to his firm giving an order he had received that day.

This statement is made by one who has worked in oil fields from Egypt to California: "Any tenderfoot knows there is coal tar and there is sulphur in oil. There is lots of both In this Kansas oil.

The driller and the tool dresser and sometimes the man who Is putting up the money and bossing the job get this stuff in their eyes and their noses and their clothes. You can't smell anything else. "What does sulphur coal tar do for a man? "Now, I have seen hundreds of men go to work in derricks who did not have enough wind in them to propel them across the street. They would kind of lay around and handle the tools tenderly at first, as if they were babies and liable to break. "The first thing I do Is to make them drink some of the crude.

Ever drink crude? Try it. It Is good straight, but some of the fine-haired boys like to take It soaked in a lump of sugar. "Around these 3,000 wells in Kansas there are hundreds of crude fiends. I expect to see the time when crude is sold by the small bottle, just as it is by the barrel, and all the lunger camps will go out of business. If a man will stay by crude oil he will never have lung trouble, and if he has lung trouble, he will last longer on a crude oil diet than on anything else.

That's all I've got to say about It." COSTS NOTHING TO GUESS. You pay only the regular price for the paper, and you get FREE a chance to win a fortune. Somebody will get the money why not you?

VALUABLE INFORMATION. From the neighborhood of Halifax comes the singular story of an unrelenting bride-groom. The wedding was fixed and the bride and bridegroom rode together in a cab, accompanied by a bridesmaid and the best man. On the way to the church, however, an unhappy dispute arose as to who should open the door of the cab when they reached the church.

The bride "and bridegroom were at loggerheads on this point, and on reaching the Ihe church the bridegroom declined to enter, the building. He returned to bis own home a bachelor.
