The Grain Of Salt.

A lady finding a beggar-boy at her door
gave him q meal Of coffee. meat and bread
and butter. which he sat down in the area to
eat. moment afterward, however, he
raped beseechingly at the door again, and
on its being opened remarked, with his
hand upon his heart: IF had but q little
salt l should be perfectly happy"
Ofcourse he got the salt
Human nature is always lacking some
thing. Oftentimes it were better of with
out its wishes, yet it is universally con-
coded that no permanent enjoyment can be
had without the SAVIOR Of health, which
keeps good cheer fresh and preserves and
sweetens life for the future
The great, ruddy farmer pines because he
has not won fame or position. The famous
man longs for the lusty health of the sturdy
farmer.
The grain OF salt is wanting.
How to secure and retain the SAVIOR Of
health in the midst of this rushing, nervous,
over-worked generation is problem worthy
of our closest attention. 1t can not be done
with stimulants, which but spur on the
overw0rked nerves to fresh efforts, only to
leave them more jaded and shattered.
Nor with narcotics, which temporarily
sOOthe, but to create an unnatural appe-
tite. the terrors of which De Quincy has
30 graphically portrayed.
1t may be asked, what il the cause Of this
extreme nervousness, lack Of appetite, lung
trouble, deficient heart action, failing eye
sight, apoplectical tendency, etc. We re-
ply, poisoned blood, caused by diseased kid
neys, and the troubles indicated are, after
all, but symptoms of advanced Kidney Dis
ease, which is but another name for Bright's
disease. Unless remedied there will be a
complete breaking down of the great
blood-purifying organs, the kidneys, and
they will be excreted, piece-meal, through
the urine.
Now, in the spring Of the year, owing to
the extra work which has been put upon the
Kidneys and Liver, through meat diet dur
ing the winter months, these symptoms are
more pronounced. and the danger to the
patient correspondingly increased. 1t is
therefore imperative that the poisoned blood
be eradicated, and that he Kidneys be put
in complete health, whic h can be speedily
and effectually accomplished by the use Of
Warmers Safe Cure, tried and proved
specific IN hundreds of thousands of cases.
Pursuing the path we have marked out
you will possess the salt Of content, without
which life's banquet is ''fiat, stale and un-
pro titable."

Provision OF the Homestead and Town Site
Laws-Description of the Lands-What
the Indian Appropriation Bill
Provides.
The Homestead Law.

For the benefit of those who are not IA.
miliar with the Homestead laws, a brief
but comprehensive abstract is herewith
presented, giving the conditions under
which the Oklahoma lands NAV be entered
and settled. The Timber Culture and Pre-
emption laws not being applicable to lands
in the ne " Territory, no one can obtain q
patent for more than 16O acres. Subjoined
are the rules which govern:
Section $50. Every person who is the head
OF family, or who has arrived at the age OF
twenty-one years and is citizen Of the United
States, or who has filed his declaration Of in
tention to become such as required by the nat
uralization laws, shall be entitled to enter one
quarter section or a less quantity Of unappro-
priated public lands, to be located in a body in
conformity to the legal subdivisions OF such
laws.
1.-THE law under which the lands are to be
opened limits the effect OF this section to the
extent OF providing that each homestead 10
Gated shall as nearly as practicable be in q
square form.
Section 2, $50 provides that the person apply
ing for the benefit OF the preceding section
shall upon application to the register Of the
land-ofhce in which he is about to make entry
make affidavit that he is the head of the family
or twenty one years Of age or has performed
service in the army or navy Of the United
States, and that such application is made for
his e clusiye use and benefit and the entry
made for actual residence and cultivation, and
that no other person is directly or indirectly in
teres ed in such entry. The fee for such entry
and affidavit TO be made to the register is Is for
eighty acres or less and $40 for more than
eighty acres.
Section 22al provides that no certificate shall

| further east There are several valuable
tracts of timber not far from Fort Reno,
| but west of that point there is little except
| worthless black jack oak and some cotton
wood along the bottoms. The high prairies
west of longitude $3.50 are well covered
with grass and the soil is naturally pos
sessed of the properties necessary for
! crops, but the water supply is not yet
| sufficiently certain for dense population,
and crops will not repay the settler as
well as on the more eastern lands. 1t
may be sal d that grass grows in sufficient
| abundance for stock raising almost all
over the lands coded by the Creeks and
Seminoles.
The Cherokee has the same general
| characteristics as the foregoing and if it is
added TO the homestead lands the settler
VIII have to fix up a home east of IS 30
west longitude if he wishes to cultivate or
binary farm crops. West of that line
there are small arabic patches but most Of
the land is high prairie, suitable prn-
clpally for stock raising. Extensive salt
deposits are found in the western part of
the strip on the surface and there is little
doubt that the same salt formation which
supplies the Hutchinson wells also extends
down into this region. 1nexhaustibe
quantities of gypsum also exists in the
western part of the strip.
The climate of all that section of the
country lying east of 80 west longitude
Is superb. Army officers and others who
have lived there describe it as the most
agreeable inland climate in America 1t
is neither very warm nor very cold giving
a wholesome change from winter to sum-
mer, with almost perfect spring and fall.
In addition to furnishing magnificent
soil unsurpassed even by the Illinois bot
toms In productiveness, and so favorably
situated that it is now ready for the plow,
interposing few obstacles of rock, swamp
or forest, the eastern part furnishes a cli-
mate SO exquisitely balanced between the
long winters of the North and the long
summers of the South that almost all the
products of both North and South can be
successfully cultivated. The citizen of
the new Oklahoma can be busy on his
farm if he wishes, nearly the whole year
round He will have railroad connections
from the first with North, South, East and
West.
The small reservations east of Oklahoma
proper are all composed of the vers best
lands. The status of the tribes which now
occupy them varies and what will be done
with them is doubtful. The Sacs and
Foxes occupy 419, CO.. acres by treaty of
1867. That part of the Pawnees' reserva-
ton which lies within the former Greek
country contains IS, 900 acres and was as
signed them by act of Congress of 1916
The 1owas and Kickapoos are located by
executive order only. The Pottawatomies
were located by the act of Congress of
1872 By the terms Of the agreement with
them they have The privilege of taking
lands in severalty and becoming citizens
of The United States. a few of them have |
taken up lands and become citizens. The |
great majority have not.

A Veteran Composers Idol.

Herr Gungl, the veteran waltz COM
poser. who recently died at Weimar. is
said to have spent the mos: of his
waking hours of the last. eight years
face to face with the portrait of a
beautiful woman. Who the original
was no one appears to know, and what
her relations were with Gangl were
equally mysterious. Close friends of
the old composer who have known him
intimately for half century, say that
they never saw this woman, and never
even knew of the portrait until eight
years ago. when Gungl suddenly with.
drew from society and began living
the life of recluse. An ivory minia-
ture OF the same woman was buried
with him.-Boston Transcript.

How to Make Bone Dust.

The following method of manufacture
ing bone dust is practiced and COM
mended by New England farmer:
From $50 pounds of steamed ground
bones, separate 80 pounds of the finest.
Put the coarser 100 pounds into a
steamer or kettle with an equal weight
of water, cover and boil about an
hour. Then dip out the contents into
a half-hogshead tub while hot, and
gradually pour into it about so pounds
of oil of vitriol, stirring the mixture
When effervescence has ceased. add
the remaining so pounds of dry, fine
bones and mix thoroughly. Bones
which have had the grease and glue
removed from them are much easier
dissolved than raw ones.-Boston

There seems to be different interpreta-

preparation bill Washington dispatches
affirm that by the provisions of that part
of the bill which opens the Oklahoma
lands to settlement both the Greek and
Seminole cessions are declared a part of
the public domain. The Greek lands com.
prise about ., 600, 600 acres and the Semi

TASCOTT AGAIN.

Detectives Think They Have Him This
Time, Sure-Caught in Manitoba.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 16-A dispatch
from West Selkirk. Man., says Tascott has
been caught on Lake Winnipeg. No par
ticulars have been received.
Recently five detectives arrived from
Chicago having a clew to the whereabouts
of Tascott he being supposed to be work
ing in some of the neighboring lumber
camps. The detectives left here suddenly,
supposedly for British Columbia.
News arrived last evening from Lake
Winnipeg stating that Tascott had been
captured and is now on the way here in
charge of the detectives. Tascott was GER
tainly here recently and there Is proba-
bility that the right man has been found.
The Pioneer Press Winnipeg special
gives the following more definite state
ment Of the capture of Tascott: 'Some
Indians arrived by dog train at two O'Clock
yesterday at West Selkirk, conveying the
news that Tascott the murderer of Smell,
the Chicago millionaire, had just been
captured on Lake Winnipeg by the Chi.
cago detectives who, accompanied by the
son-in-law of the murdered man, have
been following a strong clew with the re-
suit stated for the past few weeks They
arrived near here just after Tascott left
his work to go, he said, to Dakota. How
ever, they are reported to be on their way
to this city with the murderer"
A dispatch received at ten O'Clock last
night from Selkirk says the Indians who
brought the information from Lake Winni-
peg have gone to one of the 10 1ges at
he reserve for the night aud can not now
be located. Great excitement prevails
among the villagers at Selkirk. but many
are disinclined to believe the report
brought in by the Indians
The man who was traced to Rat Portage
by the Chicago party and supposed to be
Tascott is reported to have gone north
from that place and would undoubtedly
strike Lake Winnipeg on his journey as
the country on the east of the lake is
almost impossible.

Those who wish to obtain q correct esti.

The further we go east the lower the land

new acquisition are in Oklahoma proper
and the small reservations east of it. AL
most the whole Of this is rich, arabic land,
composed of gently rolling praries inter.

of it is rocky and there are tracts of tim

a sandy spot may be found. As rule the
