WILL BE CROWDED.
Not Enough Homesteads in Okla
hOma to SunnIY the Settlers


WASHINGTON, April 12.-In speak
ing of the great tide of immigration
now settling toward Oklahoma, Com
missioner Stockslager to-day said, that
from newspaper estimates and from in
formation received through official and
personal sources, he was of the opinion
that fully 100000 persons would enter
Oklahoma within month after the 22d
of April. For these 100000 people, says
the commission, there are only about
ten thousand homesteads which NAV
be entered under the presidents proc
lamatiOn. Therefore, for each quarter
section open to entry there will be at
least five or six applicants.
Never before in the history of
the country has there been
parallel to it. The inevitable
result of this tremendous rush, the COM
missioner thought would be a great
many contests and probably some per-
sonal conflicts. A further result, he
feared, would be the spreading of this
immense surplus, over the adjoining
Indian lands from which it would be
difficult to dislodge them without much
trouble and possible some bloodshed. If
the commission appointed to treat with
the CherOkeeS for cesSiOn of the Che
rokee outlet could complete their labors
within the next few months, and the
new tract might be opened to settle
ment before congress again meets, this
might and probably would relieve the
pressure. Otherwise he feared matters
would become complicated and the
equilibrium restored with difficulty.
However, the commissioner has no
doubt that the precautions now being
taken to preserve order in Oklahoma
and to keep the iutruders from
the adjoining land will be amply
sufficient for the purpose. The
newly appointed r. registers and
receivers of the recently created
land offices at Guthrie and Kingisher
stage station, with their clerks
and two special agents of the depart
ment will meet at Arkansas City, April
II. and together proceed to their posts
of duty. Every facility will be extend
ed by the, local officers to applicants
making their filings, and every effort
made to dispatch the business of the
offices with expedition. In order TO
save the time of employees of the offices,
they will be supplied with rotary con-
secutive numbering stamps. instead of
making their Endorsements with pen.
The order in which an application is re-
ceived as indicated by the number
stamped upon it will determine and set
tie its priority over applications bear
ing higher number. A force of clerks
i'll the general land office has been hard
at work since the Presidents proelama-
tion was issued preparing plat books,
blank books, blanks and supplies of all
kinds for the new offices, and every
thing is said to be in readiness.

THE ORIGINAL ELEMENT.

The most noted statistician in Massa-
chusetts has been at work upon fig
uresthat seemed to threaten the ultimate
extinction of the native stock in New
England, and the possession of the land
by those who have no Puritan blood.
He comedies that the native American
women have fewer children than the
mothers from over the sea. but he finds
data for the conclusion that the native
stock is healthier and stronger, and lives
longer. He finds a chance for the
original element to hold its ground
measurablY.

THE DICKY BRIDES.

las sung by Francis Wilson.1
Shall the women of our land in the street car
sit or stand?
Is a question quoted near and afar;
Must man who has a seat beat precipitate
retreat
Whene'er woman gets upon a car?
Have we tired men no right to enjoy the one
delight
Afforded by the street car of to-day,
Why not cut out all the straps and let the
girls sit on our laps?
And that's what the dicky birds say.
A plan like that with great success would
meet;
How we tired men would hustle for seat!
And some of us would sit there all the day.
And no doubt it would be found
That the laps would not go round,
And that's what the dicky brides say.

A NEW ZEALAND MADRIGAL

What though the icy winds of June
Around nv cottage sweep and roar,
And bitter billiards tell that soon
July's deep drifts shall block my doori
Each April leaf that passed away,
Each blade that died on mead and glen,
Each flower slain by cruel May,
Decembers sun shall see again.
The mild nor casters balmy breath
Shall kiss the vale and moutain side
The stream in August chilled by death
Shall leap and laugh at ChrisImastide.
Then be of joyful heart. my love;
To hope its tender chords attune;
For, as have remarked above,
1t is not always wintry June.

Fair stenographer's Idea of Men.

Indianapolis journal.
The dignifed girl was on the street
car the other evening, and her lower lip
pouted out as if she were at odds with
things generally. "You seem out of
Sorts" said her companion stenogra-
pher; ''What is the matter?" "Oh," re-
piled the dignifed girl, II get sick of
men and their ways. They are messy;
they sling paper all over the Office. and
loll about on the desks and chairs in
such undignifed attitudes. They
smoke and chew; we have four
teen drummers who come into our
office, and only one of the fourteen has
ever had the courtesy to ask me if cigar
smoke is offensive to me. Then they
are silly; they talk such nonsense as
sixteen-year-old girls wouldn't be guilty
of. 1t is all about neekties, new hats,
ballets. good dinners and so on. If you
think man is the superior animal, you
just spend some time in business
office with assorted sizes of him, and
you will see. l am beginning to believe
that trashy dime novel is better So
ciety than the average man, and equally
improving"

The lavish expenditure of the Ro-
mans on the coena, the great meal of
the day, was often fabulous. Vitellius
is actually reported to have squandered
400 sestertia. about $l6, 140, on his daily
supper, though surely this must be a
monstrous eXaggerafion. The ceIe-
brated feast to which he invited his
brother Lucius cost 5000 sestertia, or
S201, ,750. SuetoniuS related that it con-
sisted of 1000 different dishes of fish
and 1000 of fowls, and this did not eX-
hauSt the bill of fare. His daily food
was luxurious and varied beyond pre-
cedent. The deserts of Libya. the shores,
of Spain and the waters of the Car
pathian seas were diligently searched
to furnish his table with dainties, while
the savage wilds of Britain had to bear
their part in repienishing his larder.
Had he reigned long, Josephus says that
he would have exhausted the wealth of
the Roman empire itself.
Ellus Verus, another of these worth
les, was equally profuSe in the extra
yagance of his SupperS. 1t is said that
a single entertainment, to which only
dozen guests were invited, cost 6,000,-
900 sesterces-6,000 sestertia, that is-or
nearly S242,5 History relates that
his whole life was passed in eating and
drinking in the voluptuous retreats of
Daphne or at the luxurious banquets of
Antioch. So profuse, indeed, was the ex-
travagance of those times that to enter
