OPPOSED OIL PIPE LINES
Teamster* Defeated Proposition
Which Had Its Origin in Brain of
Heman Jones, Pennsylvania^
It was aa American, Heman Jones
of Erie, Pa., who first conceived the
idea of the construction of an oil pipe
line. It was to be of wood four Inches
j In diameter, but was not executed. A
j year later. In 1S62. a bill was Intro
duced Into the legislature authorising
a pipe line from Oil Creek to Kittan
nlng, Pa., (the state in which oil was
first discovered), bat It got no further,
through the opposition of 4,000 team
sters. In fact, for some years the
I teamsters made impossible the suc
! cess of 'he pipe lines. They were do
ing very well out of the existing meth
I ods of transportation, earning $10 to
$30 a dty, aud they viewed with vin
dictive disfavor the loss of dollars
and weekly revelr'es. Both In 1863
and tu 1865 the teamsters wrought
havoc on the two pipe lines construct
ed In those years. Eventually prog
ress gained the day, and many lines
were laid, including one 102 miles long
in 1880. It was not, however, till John
D. Rockefeller and his associates took
the matter in hand, eliminating all tho
old-fashioned methods of production
and transportation, that petroleum be
gan to be the power and profit It Is to
day. In 1860 the United States pro
duction of petroleum was 21,000,000
gallons.. In 1917 It had risen to 13,
440,000.000 gallons. Gasoline is still
the chief derivative, but fuel oil has
a great future.
BELGIANS PROUD OF CITIES
In Their Centers ef Industry They See
Embodied the Glorieue History
of the Past.
No man shall sa* we lore our land
less than a French'man loves France,
less than a Belgian loves his native
land. We have ou - holy cities. Win
chester and Canterbury, and a hundred
more whose old cames are dear to
| speak. Yet I be'ieve, writes "Lon
doner" In the London Evening News,
that the Belgian has a patriotism *f
i the eity, »f the to»-n, which we never
had.
The story of that love for the city
Is all the history of Belgium. Tit* hls
tory of the freedom and tie wealth
and the ancient arts of Belgium Is
In the history of Antwerp and Bruges,
of Brussels and Ghent, and Louvaln
and Ypres. It begins with the build
ing of the town wall, with the market
that grows up behind the shelter of
walls and anned gates, with the rata
j lng of the tall belfry, the town's pride,
and the hanging of the bells.
If you were a tourist who could see
the glory of old Flanders and Brabant,
you would look not at the cathedral or
the church, although Belgium has
many noble old churches, but at the
town hall and the belfry. The Ilk* of
them Is not In any other country.
First to Teach Deaf Mutes.
The flrst America* institution for
the education of the deaf and dumb
was founded In Hartford In 1917 by
Dr. Thomas H. Gallaudet, who was
born in Philadelphia 131 years ago.
He was educated at Tale and at
Andover Theological seminary, and
It was his Intention to enter the min
istry. Before leaving Andover, hew
ever, he had decided to devote his
life te the icacntctlon of deaf nates,
for whom no provision had been made
anywhere In America. He remained
at the head of the Hartford Institu
tion from 1817 until 1130, when 111
health forced his retirement The
flrst systematic attempt te Instruct
the deaf and dumb in Burope was
made la 1570 by Pedro de Ponco, a
Benedictine monk of Spain. The flrst
British Institution of this kind was
opened in Edinburgh In 1773.

BIDDLE'S LATEST TRICK.
[ "You've heard of Biddle before,"
commenced Daddy, "and I wonder if
you would like to hear of his latest
trick?"
"Oh, yes," said Nick,
"Of course we remember about Bid
die," said Nancy. "Biddle Is the gray
cat who always wears a collar with
a bell on it so the little birds will
know when he is around. And he Is
a great pet, and "
"Oh, Nancy," laughed Nick, "are
you going to tell the story?"
•That's -80," saM Nancy, "It seems
as though I were, and of course 1
can tell Nick a story any old time
at all, and we don't bear Daddy's sto

"Only every night," said Daddy.
'•That doesn't seem often," said
Nick.
"It nioet certainly does not," agreed
Nancy.
"You're both very polite," smiled
Daddy.
"Well, do tell us about Biddle,"
said Nancy.
"Oh, yes, please," begged Nick.
"Biddle Birdsall, or fiddle as he
was known, was very thirsty. He
wanted a drink of milk so much. He
went Into the study where the family
were alf sitting and he purred.
"'Nice Biddle," they said.
"'Want a nice comfy seat?' one
asked. Inviting Biddle to jump up on a
couch which was full of cushions.
"But Biddle didn't seem to want to
Jmnp on any couch or even any lap.
He still purred and seemed to want
some one to do something for him.
*"I don't believe he knows what he
wants to do himself,' said one mem
ber of the family. 'He isn't exactly
sleepy and he doesn't Just want to
take a nap. He doesn't know whether
he feels like being petted or not. He
Is Just restless—that's the whole trou

"And Biddle still seemed restless.
He walked In and out of the study.
He Jumped on the couch and then
down again. He didn't seemf to know
at all what he wanted to do—that is,
the family couldn't guess. Biddle
himself knew perfectly well.
"He was very thirsty and he wanted
to get a drink of milk. Of course,
he knew, that it -was hardly likely
the family would guess what he want
ed, because he had had his supper
only a little while before, and they
wouldn't think that he was thirsty
or hungry so soon again. In fact, he
didn't know himself why he felt so
thirsty. Perhaps It was because—
well, perhaps it was because—well, he
really didn't know why. And so he
thought to himself.
"He went to the pantry and back to
the study. But they thought Biddle
So the Light Had Gone On!
I was still trying to get some exercise
j and didn't want to settle down just
'yet.
"Olive more Blddle went from the
study to the pantry.
" 'I wonder,' one member of the
family said, 'if Blddle wants a drink
of milk.'
" '1 don't believe so,' said one of
the others, 'for he has Just; had bis
supper.'
"Now If Biddle had been In the
study then Instead of In the pantry
he would have purred and squealed
his fuunv little squealing nolae -at thp
sound of the word milk, but just then
he was In the pantry.
" 'Look,' one of the family suddenly
exclaimed. And from-the study they
cotild see a light In the pantry.
"They all hurried In, for the light
had not been there a moment before,
and they could see It quite plainly
from where they sat.
"When they went Into the pantry
there was Blddle oc the pantry shelf
and he had Just pressed with his
paw the electric light button—so the
light bad gone on I
" 'Do you want something, Blddle?'
one of the family asked, after they
had all exclaimed at the wonderful
thing which Blddle had Just done.
"Blddle purred, and they got out
some milk from the Ice box which was
In the pantry. From the way Blddle
Ucked It up they now knew what he
had been wanting.

of him to get the family Into the pan
