THE OKLAHOMA COUNTRY.

I that its dimensions have been reduced
to one thousand eight hundred square
miles as mentioned above. The name
Oklahoma was given the country by
Colonel Boudinot, Cherokee, and sig
mites, in the language of that tribe.
''the home of the red man." A bill
was introduced into Congress some
years ago to establish a Territorial
Government in the Indian country to
be called Oklahoma, but the project fell
through.
Oklahoma. as may be seen from the
map, occupies position nearly in the
center of the Indian Territory. In
general it may be defined as bounded
on the north by the Cherokee strip of
land lying west OF. the Arkansas River;

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

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

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.

SANDRINGHAM.
The Country Home OF the Prince and
Princess of Wales.

The Country Home OF the Prince and
Princess of Wales.
Our simpler task is to give our read
ers some idea of the surroundings of
the Prince of Wales and his family,
when in the country quarters of which
he is so fond. Sandringham is rather
more than three miles from the sea;
south of it lie the parishes of West
Newton, Appleton and Rabngley, and
between it and the sea Sandr,ngham,
Warren and the village of Wolferton,
which, W til a part of Dersingham, con-
stitutes the estate. A chain of hills
runs from north to south between
Wolferton and Sandringham, COM
mandin@ on one side the rich marsh
meadows dotted with cattle. and on the
o.her the wild and picturesque heath
broken by plantations. Sea, heath,
hill and woodland combine with we'll
ordered villages to give the estate the
charm of variety, The principal gate
by which Sandringham is entered-a
fine specimen of modern wrought iron
"Opens onto an avenue of large lines,
ending at but not faced by the house
A special and charming feature of this
avenue is that it forms part, not of the
park, but of the garden. The house
stands east and west; the east front
with broad gravel space before the
principal door. looking on the lawn.
walks and strawberries. Beyond the
west garden and stretching southwark
is the park, which is surrounded by a
wall, and within or closely adjacent
are some well-built and pleasant
houses, including the parsonage and
the residence of the Controller OF the
household and other officials. lake
lately made near the center OF the
park is overhung with trees. and
crowned by center island. Another
pretty lake adorns the west garden,
while one of the broad shrubbery
walks on the opposite side of the
house winds between rare pines and
garden shrubs to the spacious stables,
near which are long series of ken
ncls for rare dogs collected from va
r.ouS countries, while two big black
bears in a pit hard by attract the no.
tice of every stranger. On the east
side of the house is the kitchen garden
with its excellent ranges of fruit houses
and glazed walls, and beyond are the
Princess dainty dairy and the home
farm.
Many of the oaks in the park are fine
old trees which for centuries have de-
fled the wintry blasts which are so try
ing in the Eastern counties. The deer

FLORIDA.
The Advent Into and Capture of the Land
by the Commercial Yankee.

The Advent Into and Capture of the Land
by the Commercial Yankee.
The Yankees. who came hither origi-
nally for health or to escape the rigors
of Northern winters, are now coming
with commercial intent. They are
cutting down the forests along the
Gulf coast and cutting up the logs into
lumber. They are draining the vast
areas of swamp land, and have COM
menced ''raising cane" on the drained
land in a very practicable sort of a
way. They are planting orange groves
and improving the methods of orange
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 new Yankee land. On the con-
trary, 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 person who can pick
his breakfast from an orange tree and
gather dinner of bananas should de-
velop the energy of differently stu
ated person who must plant his potatoes
and hoe and dig them before he can
nave the pleasure of eating them. So
the Northerner 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. II the Mayflower had landed
at st. Augustine, instead of Plymouth
Rock, possibly the Seminoles would
have been sooner exterminated; but
the Yankee developed on the meager
and stony soil of New England would
have been nonresident parsonage
