A FEW years ago, says the London
STANDARD, the young people of England
became ilnbued with the roller skating
craze, and rinks were built all over the
country. The fever, however, was as
brief as any other vagaries of fashion /;
the enthusiasm died away, the rinks were
deserted, the investors lost their money !;
and roller skates disappeared in the
land"

press on some more than others, and
on all with varying weight. Some
NAV be for time unconscious of
them, and some are rarely conscious
of anything else. The great work of
the world is done under the pressure of
these burdens and by reason Of them.
George Eliot says: 81 believe that
almost all the best books in the world
have been written with the hope of get
ting money for them" 1t was for bread
that Homer sang his immortal songs,
and for bread that many song, merry
or sad, has been sung since his time.
For bread or its equivalents we fight
our daily battles. Fame, that last
infirmity of noble minds, incites some
''to scorn delights and live laborious
days. but the masses of mankind are
compelled to industry and achievement
only by the pressure of want in some
one of its everyday forms. And yet how
we all dream of getting out from under
this constant pressure!
How to adjust ourselves to the vary
ing burdens that are laid upon us is
our problem. At times we may avoid
them, as we shield ourselves from the
wind; at times we may protect our
selves against them, or prop ourselves
so that they do not seem so heavy,
even while we bear them. We need to
learn how to sail into the eye of the
wind, lacking now and then, yet keep
ing straight on our course; how to
carry the enemy by flank movement
when we are unable to attack him in
front; to divide and conquer; to 90
round the mountain when we can't 90
over it, remembering that the bale of a
pail measures the same in a horizontal
as in a vertical position; to wait a
favoring moment when the pressure
lets up little, and then push our way
forward, all the time keeping our soul,
in equipOiSe--thatm most difficult of al
keepings to learn. 1t comforts us tC

culture, and they are gradually attain
ing to a monopoly of active business
buying, selling, building railroads,
steamboating, and doing whatever
they may to gather two dollar fruit
where they sow one dollar seed.
The thrift and prosperity of the new
corners have visibly added to the thrift
and prosperity of the earlier, harder
settlers. They have distinctly mended
their pace to keep step with Northern
activity. But it must not be supposed
that Florida will ever be converted
into a new Yankee land. On the con-
trarv, the invaders from the North who
come here to live every year take on
more and more the appearance and
characteristics of the natives. 1t is not
given to man to shape the weather,
but the weather does shape the man.
The invincible sunshine and the warm,
compulsive rains soon have their infiu-
ence on the going and coming of the
swiftest goers and corners. 1t is not
reasonable that a person who can pick

ated person who must plant his potatoes
and hoe and dig them before he can
have the pleasure of eating them. So
| the NOrthepner who comes down here
and builds him house the first month
of his stay, and plants his grove the
next, gradually finds himself falling
into the slip-shod ways. His fences
get to be disreputable; his house is not
| freshly painted; his walks are neg
lected; his garden goes to weeds; and
he and his wife and his children settle
into the easy untidiness which BELTS
the latitude. 1t is the latitude which
governs. If the Mayilower had landed
at St. Augustine, instead of Plymouth
Rock, possibly the Seminoles would
have been sooner eXterminated; but

how burdens nobly borne have been as
wings to lift others heavenward, and
we can but trust they will prove such
to us.
We may learn lessons of courage
and hope from "calm and patient ma
ture," from the lives of great men who
have struggled with adversely, and
what great men and women have notP
and rest our hearts on Him who hold
eth the winds in His fists, and the sea
III the hollow of His hand. When by
communion with great thoughts our
souls are filled with courage and SCREEN
ity and hope, we become insensible to
external pressures, balancing that with
out us by that within, If this relief is
desaed us, we can then try and rise
above that which weighs us down
there is always some way to escape SC
that we need not be crushed.
When the mariner sees a storm ap'
preaching he reefs his sails and puts out
to sea, where he will have plenty OF
room. So we, when we see trouble or
the way to us, may often rob it of much
of its power to hurt us by holding our
selves in readiness to meet it fearlessly
and, if possible, to make it bear us OF
our course, avoiding those reefs anC
shadows on which we have found our
selves aforetime liable to be stranded

Oklahoma was given the country by
Colonel Boudinot, Cherokee, and sig

For centuries 1t has been contended that cough
medicine to be effective must contain mOrphia,
opium, or some other equally dangerous drug and
to-day nearly every cough mixture In the market has
for IFS base some one of these deadly pOlsOns. A
purely vegetable and at the same time ciicaclous
cough cure has been considered an impOssibility.
The harmful and at times fatal results attending the
use of morph.a and opium cough mixtures are of
common occurrence everywhere, and every part of
the Union deahs have, according to ttc testimony of
physicians and cOrOneTs, resulted Al ON the use Of
these dangerous preparations. IL Is for hs reason
that medical authorities pleading public men speak
enthusiastically of the importance and value of the
discovery of Red Star Cough Cure. Governor
MCLane and Attorney General Roberts, of Maryland

The Burdens Which Rest on Mankind From
the Cradle to the Grave.
The text books tell us that man of
usual size moves about unconscious
that he sustains a constant load of
over three thousand pounds, or more
than fifteen tons. If this pressure is
partially removed from one surface of
the body, its existence then becomes
very manifest. The barometer shows
us that this pressure constantly varies
having its daily maximum and mini
mum and its "high" and "low," and
these variations are an essential ele-
ment in making predictions about the
weather. We learn more or less well
to adjust ourselves to this tluctuating
weight of fifteen tons, and to carry on
our business and pursue our pleasures
with but slight regard to the height of
the mercury in either the thermometer
or barometer. When these atmos-
pheric pressures become violent and
destructive, as they often do, causing
death and devastation, then the sur
wivors, when the cyclone is past gather
themselves and the fragments that re-
main together and consider 1.-THE value
of what is left, and build again the
waste places.
The great harvests of the world are
gathered in climates subject to con-
slant and wide variations of atmos-
pheric pressure and of heat and cold

Kansas City is by railroad to Caldwell,
on the northern border of the Indian
Territory. From that point stage
road and cattle trail runs down the
west side of the Oklahoma country to
Fort Reno, which is about three-fOurths
of the way down the western border.
At that point the road passes out of the
Oklahoma country on its way to Fort
Sill. From Caldwell to the north line
of the Oklahoma country is about
sixty miles, the Salt Fork of the Ar
kansas River being crossed at about
half the way. The country shown
upon the map is what remains unoccu-
pied of the cessions made by the Semi
noles and Greeks to the United States
under. the treaties of 1866.

Herewith is presented map OF the
Oklahoma country which is just now
attracting the attention of not only the
people of the West but also the Ma
tional Government. The country in
question has an extent of about one
thousand eight hundred square miles.
In order to reach it it is necessary to
go from the borders of Kansas one
hundred and twenty miles westward
through the Cherokee country. Its
boundary on the South is the Canadian
River, on the north the Cimarron
River, on the west the reservation of
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes. 1t

Pawnee, Iowa, Kickapoo and Potta-

by the Canadian River, and on the
west by the reservation of the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe Indians.
The territory within the boundaries
thus described is about sixty miles on a
line running through its center north
and south, and about forty miles east
and west, except in the Northern part,
where it overreaches considerably both
east and west. The total area COM

tlicting a dangerous wound. Sheriff
Allen was sent for, aud as soon
as he appeared Bueschel opened
ire, advancing as he shot until he
reached the middle OF the street. He was
armed with two revOlyers. ana when tie
firing began the street WAS crowded with
people. After being made target for six
shots the Sheriff returned the fire. Both
men stood up like duelists, and at the
Sherlff's fourth shot Bueschel fell TO the
ground pierced through the abdomen.
After being down ne turned over and fired
again az the Sheriff, tut his aim was as
bad as ever and the bullet had no effect.
He died In few minutes. Bueschel
fired altogether eleven shots and sheriff
