This purpoae muat be your own not another 'a. The sorrowful expert - ences of many women is that they are always children, with no plan of life, no will by which their energies urn to be directed.

A newly verified Russian oil field, with an urea of about 70,000 square miles, or about twice the size of the New .. England states, now emerges strangely from u mass of explorers' (lata to suggest pretty strongly that current pessimism over the decreasing output of the oil fields of the Caucasus Is not well justified. This new field, according to Russia, the monthly organ of R. Murtens & Co., Is located in the Ural province, begins at the Caspian sea, taking a fanlike shape to the north as far as the town of Alexandrovsky Qui, runs nearly due east to the town of Temlr and from there In a southerly and southwesterly directions, following the Emba river to the Caspian sea again. Although an attempt was mnde by the government to encourage the commercial exploration of this coun try as fur back as 1809, no serious de velopment work had been done until a very short time ago. Russia more now than ever, is feeling effects of the high prices of petroleum and its nbsolute necessity has led to the discovery of these fields. ? Wall Street Journal. Conundrums.

Mass, V In passing through South Deerfield, Mass., autoists cross the historic old stream called Bloody Brook"! name derived from tho freightful massacre by Indians which occurred there on th6 18th of September, 167? In those days King Philip, 6acliem of the Pokanoket tribe of Indians, was on the' warpath. He had j terrified the settlers of tho Connecticut liiver Valley that the northernmost towns of Northheld and Deerfi + were ordered abandoned. In abandoning Deerfield the settlers had left large stores of newly harvested grain, and it was in quest these needed stores that Captain Lathrop, with a picked troop of eighty men, proceeded to Deerfield fro the town of Hadley, twenty miles south. The grain had been successfully procured and the party was sor six miles out of the settlement of Deerfield when it prepared to ford a stream. The stream was border by thick woods, and tradition relates that the men, imprudently placed their weapons in the wagons and sc? tered to gather the wild grapes which abounded. Thus disarmed, they were quickly and completely or - whelmed by the hordes of Indians estimated at 700 strong, by whom they had been ambushed. Of theeig or more men in Captain Lathrop's command not more than eight escaped alive. ? < Two other scouting squads of Englishmen which were in the vicinity hurried to the scene upon hea battle, but could do nothing except drive the Indians away so that the bodies of their comrade might bo . cently buried. A monument now marks the scene of this horrible massacre, and. the stream where the disaster occur Is known to this day as Bloody Brook. Camden Opera House THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY ?
