Natural Gas in Practical Use.
Believing that gas in sufficient
quantity could be had to run the
machinery at the Brownwood
steam laundry, Manager Ed
Selvedge has recently drilled a
well for that purpose, and when
a Bulletin man visited the laun-
dry this afternoon he found five
power irons connected directly
with the well and the gas press-
ure seemed sufficient to run as
many more irons. It was Mr.
Selvedge’s purpose to connect
all his machinery with the wells,
but since connecting the irons he
has decided that the "flow is not
strong enough to furnish fuel for
the engine and he will not take
chances on destroying his iron
fuel by making connection with
the engine. He may, however,
sink another well and connect it
with the engine.
The power irons use about the
same amount of gas as an ordinary
heating stove uses and the gas is
an ideal fuel. It has taken the
place of the gas generating ma-
chines formerly used on the irons.
Mr. Selvedge has noted evidence
of gas and oil in the vicinity of
the laundry and after considering
the matter for some time decided
to|make a test of it for fuel pur-
poses. He is .delighted with the
success he has met with after
sinking a well 180 feet and will
no doubt continue his process of
development. He sunk a well
last summer and secured a fine
gas flow, but in pulling thecas-
ing the well was ruined.—Brown-
wood Bulletin.

Mrs. M. Burleson, of Smith-

Mrs. W. P. Darby.
W. T. Price from .the north-
eastern part of the county was
here Saturday and made The
Leader a pleasant call.
A. Prince, one of the princely
young farmers of the Adams-
ville section was here Monday
and had his name entered for a
regular supply of the Leader.
Mrs. J. N. Manuel and little
niece, Harriet Bailey, have re-

in the morning, and the room is
cold and a button is off and the
beefsteak is tough, and the stove
smokes, and the pipes burst, and
you start down the street nettled
from head to foot. All day long
things are adverse. Insinuations,
petty losses, meanness on the
part of customers. The ink bottle
upsets, and spoils the carpet.
Some ope gives a wrong turn to
the damper, and the gas escapes.
An agent comes in .determined to
insure your life, when it is al-
ready insured for more than it is
worth, and’you are afraid some
one will knock you in the head to
get the price of your policy; but
he sticks to you, showing you
pictures of Old Time and the
hour glass, and the death’s f
scythe, and a skeleton, making it
quite certain that you will die
before your time comes unless
you take out papers in this com-
pany. Besides this you have a
cold in your head, and a grain of
dirt in your eye, and you are a
walking uneasiness. The day is
out of joint and no surgeon can
set it. The probability is that if
you would look at the weather-
vane you would find that the
wind is northwest, and you might
remember that you have lost
much sleep lately. It might hap-
pen to be that you are out of
joint instead of the day. Be
careful and do not write many
letters while you are in that irri-
table mood. You will pen some
things in the way of criticism or
fault finding that you will be
sorry for afterward. Let us re-
member that these spiked nettles
of life are part of our discipline.
Life would get nauseating if it
were all honey. The table would
be poorly set that had on it
nothing but treacle. We need a
little vinegar, mustard, pepper
and horse-radish that brings the
tears even when we do not feel
pathetic. If this world were all
smoothness we should never be
ready for emigration to a higher
and better. Blustering March
and weeping April prepare us for
shining May. This world is a
poor hitching-post. Instead of
tying fast on the cold mountains,
we had better whip up and hast-
en on toward the warm inn,
where our good friends are look-
ing out of the window watching
to see us come up.—San Angelo
Standard.
ing the little things in life. The
little things in the home are what
constitute happiness or unhappi-
ness. If the wife is all the time
nagging the husband about this
and that, or if the husband is all
the time nagging the wife about
there being too much salt or soda
in the biscuit, there is not going
to be mucib- happiness in that
hope. If what the wife does is
all wrong and what the husband
does is unlike the action of any
other man in all the world, there
is going to be misery in that'
home rather than happiness. We
must learn to overlook the little
faults that invade our lives. We
must learn that the little things
of theffiome, done in the right
way,, makes that home an ideal
home. That to neglect the little
things of the home converts the
home into a miserable place to
eat and to sleep.

things. Tall -oaks from little

Wm. McKinney, Ed Easters,

Dr. and Mrs. J. . Ellis left
Sunday night on a trip of a

ate points, and especially San
Benito as the guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Everett Yates.

The Little Things of Life.
Life is not composed of great
deeds. It is the little things of
life that count. Here a little
and there a little and the tale of
life is told. It is not how we dis-
pose of the great things that de-
termine what we are. In the lit-
tle things of life character is man-
ifest.
GreAt things are not accom-
plished in a day. It takes time
to bring about the great vents of
our life. Time, patience, and
persevereance are the character-
istics that bring victory.
A friend called upon Michael
Angelo, who was finishing a
statute. His friend, looking at
the figure, exclamed, “You have
been idle since I saw you last!”
“By no [means,”*- replied the
sculptor. “I have retouched
this part, and polished that; I
have softened this feature and
brought out this muscle; I have
given more expression to this lip,
and more energy to this limb.”
“Well, well,” said his friend,
“but all these are trifles.” “It
may be so,” replied Angelo, “but
recollect that trifles make per-
