Woman's Winning Force.
The winning force In woman's life la
first of all, purpose ? a purpose which
curries with It the assent of reason,
the judgment of the mind and the ap
proval of conscience.
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.
Don't drift, but steer. Dare to be
singular. Scorn to degrade yourself
by yielding up your Individuality to
suit the whim of the worth'^sa.
Now and then a woman stands aside
from the crowd, labors steadfastly and
straightway the world wonders, ad
mires and crowns the determined
doer, and yet It only Illustrates what
a growing and exhaustlesa force each
woman might become if she took hold
of life with a purpoae.
Determine to live for something laat
Ing. Even goodness fulla where there
la no will.
You cannot dreain yourself into a
character. You mu8t hammer and
force yourself into one.
New Russian Oil Fields.
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.
It Is often said that love is blind,
and, Judging by the experience of a
newly married couple, it hasn't much
sense of taste, either.
A few weeks after the wedding a
friend dropped Into the bridegroom's
studio and found the artist and his
bride laughing heartily at some Joke.
"What ever is amusing .1.. you so
much?" he asked In amazement.
"Oh, it's been so funny," , gurgled
the young wife, as she wiped the
tears or Joy from her eyes.

Historic Scenes in Old New England
r
Scene of The Battle at Bloody Brook in Deerfield. 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.
