Mason claims some ability as a writer
and contributes the following sketch
and poem to The Monitor, having
written it in memory of a comrade
whose life was lost in Mexico:
CONSIDERED HIS SOUL LOST
Strange are the humors of the
dying. Today a young United States
soldier, badly wounded, was lying in
his cot. Little hope for him. He
came of a good family, was brought
up by pious parents. The doctor,
nurse and I stood watching by his cot.
The boy was restless and it was not
the restlessness of pain alone. He
muttered to himself, “I have missed it
—missed it at the last.”
“What?” asked the doctor.
"Missed—missed—missed!”
“But what?"
“Doctor,” the boy spoke solemnly
and wide-eyed, "I have missed the
salvation of my soul.”
“Oh, no,” the doctor and I spoke
together. “Do you remember the thief
on the cross?”
“Yes, but the thief never said to
the Holy Ghost, go your way, but I
did. And now he is saying to me, ‘Go
your way.’ ”
He lay a while, looking up with
storing eyes. “A little time ago,” he
said, “I was anxious, but I did not
want to be saved then. I am young.
I wanted to live my life as other
young men. I heeded not my mother
or my father. I did not trouble then
about my soul. There was something
then that seemed to say to me, ‘Don’t
j ut it off; ah, don’t postpone it.’ But
no, no, no. Later I would take up the
subject at a more convenient time.
And now it is too late and I have
missed.”
I told him there were some who
came at the eleventh hour. “My
eleventh hour,” he answered gravely,
“came when my conscious awoke. I
let it pass.”
There was infinite despair and
loneliness Jn the poor voice. We knelt
and prayed for him. That night he
died. Taps!
The darkness falls and clouds hang
low.
Goodbye, old pal, goodbye;
The Reaper reaped, nor stopped to
sow,
Goodbye, old pal, goodbye.
A pall of gloom now hovers o’er,
Goodbye, old pal, goodbye;
A host of hearts are sad and sore,
Goodbye, old pal, goodbye.
You’ve journeyed down the Long,
Long Lane,
Goodbye, old pal, goodbye;
All eyes are filled and blurred with
pain,
Goodbye, old pal, goodbye.
Thy soul hath flown to realms above,
Goodbye, old pal, goodbye;
Rest in arms of wond’rous love,
Goodbye, old pal, goodbye!

To Protect the People
The State of Nebraska has permitted the FARMERS OIL & GAS COMPANY to sell NOT SO MANY
SHARES OF STOCK, which are merely so many pieces of paper promising profits if there are profits,
but SO MANY LOTS OF LAND, at TEN DOLLARS A LOT, to which title and deed is granted upon
payment of price, the company reserves the right of drilling for oil, and in case of oil production, to
divide that production proportionately among all LOT-OWNERS.
The Farmers Oil and Gas Company owns 160 acres of land in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma. It
also owns Lease on 40 acres in Butler County, Kansas, and lease on 600 acres in Wilson County, Kan
sas. There are large producing Oil and Gas Wells close to our holdings. 800 acres, all in the great
Mid-Continent Oil fields. Our plan is to sell these lots, out of this 160 acres which is blocked into lots I
400 square feet each, giving a Warranty Deed and an absolute Title forever to the purchaser of any lot j j
or lots of which the deed participates in all wells drilled by the said farmers Oil and Gas Company,
! on any of their lands or leases. Our holdings are in the heart of rich production. ;
Positively never since the beginning of the present greatness of the Kansas Oil Field has the public
ever been offered an opportunity like this. The Company cannot undertake D do drilling unassisted j j
j by outside capital, and we will not ask people to in vest their cash in stock certificates only. Instead « jj
we will give each investor an actual deed to a piece of the land. The Company will drill (10) ten or j
j more wells with the money received from sale of lots and every lot owner will share in the profits
BUY THESE LOTS NOW AT $10 PER LOT, AS THE PRICE WILL BE ADVANCED IN A | jj
SHORT TIME TO $20 OR MORE.
