Disappointed Oklahoma Boomers.

CHICAGO, May "A special dispatch
from Fort Reno, l. T., says that Capt
Hall and a company of cavalry left King
Fisher yesterday to eject settlers from
the Cherokee Strip, and company also
left Guthrie for the same purpose.
Several hundred settlers are now on the
strip. They are determined men, who
have staked everything on the Okla
homa opening, and failing to get their
claims have gone to the strip. No
organized resistance to the military is
expected, but cases of individual resist
ance and large amount of hardships
and suffering are certain to ensue.

WANTED TO BUY HER.
How the Shah Intended to Get Posses

of Mrs. John Mackay.
The Shah OF Persia would like to buy
Mrs. John w. Mackay. At least so
runs the story at Newport. The offer
was made at a ball given in honor of
his Persian Highness at one of the
Ambassadorial houses in London.
Mrs. Mackay was there with all the
rest of the swell world.
His heather highness is no beauty
and his manners are scarcely fascinat-
ing Nevertheless he is a representa-
tive of the principle of royalty, and
royal British matrons. with feeling
of devotion always for Kingship, were
always throwing themselves in his
way and hoping that he might flatter
them with some little notice. But he
didn't. A brutal candor is one of his
characteristics. and there was nothing
in the appearance of the women to
win his attention. When. however,
his eye fell on Mrs. Mackay he said
something in his own tongue to the
Persian Minister, gentlemanly little

The Shah grumbled out some new
command.

is it?"
WELL" replied the Minister, ''his
Majesty wishes 10 buy you"
''Oh. dear me-" cried Mrs Mackay,
laughingly, "teu him l am not for

The diplomatic did so. A shade of
disappointment passed over the royal
countenance and the diplomatic re-
ceived another command.

A CURIOUS INDUSTRY.
How Ieec!les Are Bred on q Farm d
voted to Their Culture.

How Ieeches Are Bred on a farm De-
voted to Their Culture.
There is curious branch of indus
try followed by certain inhabitants OF
the great marsh lands in the neighbor-
hood of Bordeaux, France.
Some years ago farmer OF the dis
trict observed that the leeches native
to these marshes attained to great
size in places where many cattle
were turned out to pasture, and
more particularly where horses form
the principal stock. This suggested
to him the idea of making leech
culture a speciality. He had some
small capital, and this he was shrewd
enough to turn to the best advantage.
In the first place. he rented tract OF
marsh. which he divided off into
square ponds, surrounded with rail-
ings. The water in these ponds Is
about fifteen inches deep, and the mud
at the bottom of them affords winter
quarters for myriads of leeches, which,
when the warm sun Of spring arouses
them from their winter lethargy, come
up to the surface very lively, and anx-
ious for gorge upon their natural
aiimelt, blood.
To supply this the leech cultivator
invested portion of his capital in a
drove of old horses, which were
bought UP by him at an average price
OF about twenty francs per head. No
sooner were these wretched victims
driven into the ponds than they were
fastened upon by the leeches, whose
yorscious instincts were aroused the
moment the water became agitated.
Instances are not infrequent of horses
becoming so exhausted by these in
satiable blood-suckers as to sink down
into the water, where they are some
times suffocated before assistance can
come to hand.
The process of catching leeches is
very simple one. 1t is mostly carried
on by young girls and lads, who, dur
ing the summer season, enter the
ponds, wearing long, waterproof boots
of thick leather, and furnished. each
of them. with sort of camp-stool
and canvas bag. Seating them
selves in the ponds. they disturb the
water with their feet, and imm ediate-
ly the leeches, imagining that horses
have plunged into the ponds, swarm
around the leech-fishers and fasten
greedily upon their boots. Selecting
the best-grown leeches, the fishers
now pick them off, and put them into
their bags; and in this way many
thousands are taken by them in the
course of a few hours. The leeches
are then carried home, and having
been culled and sorted according to
size. are placed in tubs filled with
soft. moist clay, into which they i'm
mediately burrow. The tubs are then
tightly covered with strong, porous
canvas, and in this state the leeches
are taken to market.-N. Y. Ledger

WORSE THAN A FAILURE.

A bachelor, old and cranky,
Was sitting alone in his room;
His toes with the gout were aching,
And his face was o'ersprcad with gloom
No little ones shouts disturbed him,
From noises the house was free;
In fact from the attic to cellar
Was quiet as quiet could be.
No medical aid was lacking:
The servants answered his ring
Respectfully heard his orders,
And supplied him with every thing.
But still there was something wanting,
Something he couldn't command
The kindly words OF compassion,
The touch OF gentle hand.
And he said, as his brow grew darker
And he rang for the hireling nurse:
swell. m arriage may be failure.
But this is a blamed sight worse.'

No Courting in This Case.

The parents of Mr. Koo, the at
tache of the Chinese Legation al
Washington. have written to him
informing him that they have Sc
lected a wife for him. He has
never seen his prospective bride and is
not likely to do so for some time. even
after he goes back home. as in the
Chinese marriage ceremony the bride
and bridegroom are forced to sit back
to back for three or four hours in
solemn silence on board table, dur
ing which strange programme the
woman is SO heavily vailed that even
the most ardent gaze of her legal part
ner would fail to distinguish her feat
ures. At the conclusion of the curious
ly intricate cerem )nies the crowning
stroke is the spieiting away OF the
bride by her relatives. who for days
thereafter keep her in the closest So
clusion away from her husband. He
during that period can neither see nor
speak to her.-Cor. Detroit Free Press

Related to the Dodo.

The insect house at the Geological Gar
dens contains an interesting little bird
which might easily be passed over by the
visitor on account of its resemblance to an
ordinary pigeon. This resemblance is in
no way deceptive, for it is pigeon which
has acquired a certain amount Of fame, or
rather notoriety, on account of its near re-
lationship 10 the Dodo. This kinship has
not, however. been admitted by recent
authorities, and so the name Didunculus
has been got by false pretenses, although
the alliance claimed for the bird is by no
means noble one. But this little pigeon
is interesting for the ingenious way in
which it has defeated the Vaccinations Of
that enemy of the bird tribe, the cat.
Didunculus lives in Samoa, where there
were originally, Of course, no eats. These
were introduced and made short work
with the Manumea, as the natives call the
bird, killing not only the adult, but the
chicks of the nest. Owing to its habit of
nesting upon the ground the bird nearly
became extinct; suddenly, however, it
took to building its nest upon the tree
tops, where it could bring its young ones
up in peace, and since that time the bird
has again become fairly plentiful.-Loa-
