The evenings and nights
are very cool and pleasant. All
the air comes from the south.
Tame grass wont grow and it
is too windy for tobacco. No
timber here excepting the bushes
on the river aud creek banks. Men
around this town have cut and
stacked over 5000 tons Of hay off
of the strip this summer. The
soldiers stopped them two week S
ago.
The race begins at noon the
Is Of September from all edges of
the strip. As soon as boomer
gets here, some one will ADVISE him
to believe no one, and never tell
the truth" The sharpest man on
Sandy never did as much dirty
scheming when wide awake as an
ordinary Kansas boomer can do
while asleep. All agree that the
race on the 10th Of September viii
double discount anything the
Worlds Fair has on hands.
The corner stones have been re-
moved, Remarked and buried by
boomers so that only few men
can tell with any certainty where
they are. This viii cause four and
five to get on the same claim. Nine
.enths Of the good claims in the
east end OF the strip will have more
than one claimant Or settler. One
third of the prniries have been
burned off aud the rest will be
burned either before or on the day
Of the run, in order to find corner
stones.
Some think every claim in the
strip will have from TO 10 settlers
on il within four hours after the
signal is fired, but some think tine
west one-fourlh won't be fully set
lied for a year, as il is dry and just
like Western Kansas.
y man can go in in ,any way
he chooses. There are three rail
roads running through the STRIP
from north to south, and each viii
run trains on that day. These six
trains will carry in from four tC
eight thousand men. Four year,
ago when Oklahoma was opened
there were 80 coaches or about 250l
people left this town for Gulhrl,
town lots aud the adjoining lane
claims. There will he over 5000
who will go in on foot, on horses
and in carts and wagons.
| Guthrie, Coldwell and Arkansa,
City are the principal headquarier
for boomers. Each town has huli
dreds Of horses that have beel
training for this strip from to |,
months. Some men have horse
that lave made four runs of thi
kind in the last four years. Tn
race track heIe is one-half mile an
there are oyer 100 horses on il ever
day.
There will be hundreds Of wome
in the race. Several practice thei

The Genius of Woman,

The children came home from
school, and after laying aside their
wraps and books the smallest girl
cried out:
"Oh, mamma, I've dot a new sweet
heart, and you tan't dess his name"
"Got a new sweetheart" said the
mother, smiling. who is he?"
Little Grant Hayes"
Grant Hayes" said the mother
with mock solemnity. II never
thought that child of mine would
have a Yankee for a sweetheart"
The little girl was sorely troubled.
She sat gazing into the fire, her big
brown eyes glowing with the intensi-
ty of her thoughts. Then a reply &C.
CURED to her, and she answered
slowly:
But, mamma, when we dts mar
ried I'll make Demotrack of him"
1t was an inspiration so like the
genius of woman that the mother
laughed, and the sunshine came again.

When Boards Came In.

The Crimean war ended both for
England and this country a smooth
faced habit of nearly two centuries.
From the Elizabethan to the Victo-
rian period men went clean shaved,
and not even the naval warfare of 90
years brought beard to the face of
Nelson and his captains, who shaved
in all weathers and in all ATTITUDES.
This was equally true of Napoleon
and most of his marshals and of
Wellington and all of his generals,
as it had been the rule with all the
leaders of western Europe, civil and
military, from the days when the de-
feat of Spain retired the beard from
the face of civilized man.
The Crimean winters made an in
slant change in English, though not
in French habits. Napoleon and Vic
tor Emmanuel between them intro
duced the mustache, which had al
ready begun to appear as result of
the Napoleonic wars, but had disap-
peared with the restoration of the
French monarchy. Our own war
completed here what English and
French example had begun, and 25
years ago the mustache became the
rule among all young men and the
beard grew more frequent among the
English speaking men on both sides
of the Atlantic than it had been fo1
two Observation-Disclosures Press.

Chicago's "wide open" mayor,
Carter Harrison, the "wickedest man
in the world" according to some of
his political opponents, has surprised
his town by announcing his oppose
tion to opening the worlds fair on
Sundays. Personally he is in favor
of Sunday opening, but inasmuch as
the fair directory accepted the SOU
venir coin appropriation upon the
condition that the fair should not
be open on Sundays, Mayor H1rri-
son is in favor of living up to the
agreement. "The material loss to
the corporation will be vast" says
Mayor Harrison, "but this is noth~
ing compared to the loss OF moral
benefit to the people

THE ELEMENTS AIDED THE WcToRs.
Some of the Great Battles of the World
We're Wnn nv the Hal, ..e 49,.

Some of the Great Battles of the World
Were Won by the Help of Nature.
1t Is a singular fact that most of
the great battles that have shaped
the course of the worlds history
have been fought under atmospheric
conditions which have played no
small part in deciding their issue.
Thus Arminius, the Goth, defeated
the Romans under Varus during a
terrific thunderstorm, which, accord
ing to Dion, so terrified the legion
aries that they lost heart and were
easily thrown into disorder.
When Xerxes invaded Greece. a
violent storm at sea sank no fewer
than 400 of his ships and transports
and left him comparatively helpless
before the Greeks.
SO, too, at the battle of Cannae,
Hannibal took advantage of high
wind to place himself so that while
the Romans were blinded with a
dust storm his men had the wind at
their backs.
Coming to more modern times. the
Norman conquest of England was al
most diverted by a violent storm.
which scattered Williams ships and
drove them back to the coast of
France.
At Crecy it is well known that the
rainstorm which relaxed the strings
of the Genoese bowmen practically
put them out of the field, while the
English archers, who had kept their
strings dry, were able to demoralize
the French vanguard by their dead,
ly shooting
The battles of Towton and Barnet
were both practically decided by the
assistance which the elements rem
dered to the Yorkists, first, in the
shape of binding snowstorm, and,
second, through the medium of a
dense fog.
The Spanish armada would not
have been by any means so easily re-
pulsed but for a violent gale which
heeled the Spanish ships over to
such an extent that they were easily
hulled by the English, while their
own shots flew high into the air
The final destruction of the feet
by tempest needs no description,
any more than do the frightful suf-
fering of Napoleon's army in the
Moscow campaign, in which ice and
snow gained more victories than
Russian arms, while at Waterloo
there is no doubt that the heavy rain
which preceded the battle greatly
assisted Welingtons tactics and
crippled those of Napoleon by making
the thick clay soil almost impossible
for cavalry movements.-Chicago

There is a case Oh record in Japan,
says Harpers Young People, where
the winner at the polls was not only
sorry tor his success but came
through that success subsequently
to wish he had never been horn.
This was in the village of Ava, and
the person honored or dishonored
by thu majority vote was Jap by
the name OF Abb Tanihei. 1t seems
that the village of Ava was harassed
by midnight robber whom nobody
could detect. The head of the ham,
let summoned the entire male pop
ulation under his charge and direct
ed every man to write the name of
the person whom be suspected and
TO deposit the paper in a box. Fif>
teen ballots bore the name OF Abb
Tanibei, the rest being blanks. The
nan whom everybody distrusted was
so much overcome with astonish-
ment that he made full confession
and went to prison. In a more
civilized country an incident of this
sort could never happen, end it is
hoped that it will never be tried.
If Abb Tanihei had really been an
honest man it would have made no
difference in his fate, which would
indeed have been dreadful thing.

Eat all cold food slowly. Diges
ton will not begin till the tempera-
ture of the food has been raised by
the heat of the stomach to ninety
eight degrees. Hence the more
heat that can be impaired to it by
slow masticatioh, the better. The
precipitation of a large quantity OF
cold food into the stomach by FAST
eating may, and often does, cause
discomfort and Indigestion, and eT-
cry occasion of this kind results in a
measurable injury to the digestive
functions. Ice water drunk with
cold food of course increases the
mischief. Hot drinks-hot water,
weak tea, coffee, chocolate, etc, will,
on the contrary, help to prevent it.
But eat slowly, anyway.

LIVE NASTODONS IN ALASKA.
Indian Hunters Tell Stories of Seeing
Such Monsters.
From the Juneau Free Press

From the Juneau Free Press
The Stickeen Indians positively
assert that within the lass FIVE years
they have frequently seen animals
which, from the descriptions given,
must be mastodons. Last spring
while out hunting one OF these In
dams came across a series of large
tracks, each the size Of the bottom
OF A salt barrel. sunk deep in the
moss. lie followed the curious trail
for some miles, finally coming out
in tuIl view Of his game As a class
these indians are the b~avest Of
hunters, but the proportions of this
new species of game filed the hunter
with terror, and he took to swift and
immediate fight. He described the
creature as being as large as a post
traders store, with great. shining,
yeliowish white tusks and mouth
large enough to swallow a man at a
single gulp. He further says that
he animal was undoubtedly of the
same species as those whose bones
and tusks lie all over that section Of
the country. The fact that other
hunters have told of seeing these
monsters browsing on the herbs up
along the river gives a certain prob
ability to the story. Over on Forty
mile creek bones Of mastodons are
quite plentiful. One ivory tusk
nine feet long projects from one Of
the sand dunes on the creek, and
single teeth have been found that
we're SO large that they would be a
good load for one man to carry
believe that the mule, footed hog
still exists also that live mastodon:
play tag with the aurora every night
on Forty mile Creek in Alaska.

There are 10000 volanes publish

1T has come to pass that a practi-
cal, scientific use of electricity is
made in France to stimulate the
growth and increase the product Of
field crops. An apparatus which
has teen successfully used is called
the geomagnetizer, and consits of a
high pole set up in the field where
the potatoes or other crops are
growing. 1t supports an insulated
head Of galvanized iron, which ter.
inmates in the air in a sort of plex>
US of points and branches made of
copper This collector OF electrici-
ty communicates by wire with net
work of other wires, which ramify
through the earth around the foot Of
the pole, and among the growing
roots, beets, cabbages, potatoes or
other crop. The wires are buried
deep enough to be out OF the way IN
cultivating the crop. 1t is found by
experience that this apparatus co.,
lects the electricity which always
exists in the atmosphere, and which
is made especially manifest by
storms, rain, wind, etc., and trans
mits it to the earth and the stratum
of air nearest the earth. The re-
sulting stimulus to the crop is very
marked. In Ole test within a su-
perfcial area of thirty-tNos meters,
the potato yield, in proportion to
the yield Of adjoining areas not
electrically stimulated, was as 81 to
60; another report showed sixty.
three Kilograms of potatoes as
against thirty eight Kilograms grown
under ordinary conditions. Other
root crops and grapes give equally
good results.
