THE RUSH,
Humorous Bits of Personal History
That Race for Homes.

humorous Bits of Personal History 10
Race for Homes.
Everyone who knows the story of the
Oklahoma boom. when thousands OF
men and women rushed into Indian
Territory by permission of the govern
ment to stake out claims there; but it
has been left for Richard Harding Davis
to set down for US the little humorous
bits of personal history which are like
salt to porridge. Twenty-Five hundred
people alighted from the first train from
the south, and ~stampeGed wildly over
the prairie, driving in their little stakes,
changing their minds, and driving tae
stakes over again in some other spot
When the second train came in, the
sight Of SO many early birds" seemed
to drive the newcomers almost frantic,
and they fell over one another in their
haste; indeed, their race for the choicest
lots was like a run on a bank when no
one knows exactly where the bank is
One young woman was in such haste
to alight that she crawled out Of the
car window, and as soon as she reached
the ground, drove in her stake, and
claimed all the and round it This was
part of the military reservation, and
the soldiers so explained to her; but she
was suspicious of everyone, and re-
manned seated by her wooden peg until
nightfall.
Another woman stuck up a sign bear
ing the words, "a Soldiers Widows
Land" and was quite confident that
the crowd would respect that title. She
was assured thaL she had no right to
the spot. and was offered a lot still I'M
claimed; but she refused to move. The
lot she was offered is now on a main
street in the center of the town, and
the one she was finally forced to take,
after her long delay, is OF the prairie,
three miles out Of the city. .
Still another woman drove in her
stake between the railroad ties, aud
said it would take a locomotive and a
train of cars to move her; and q man
put mis- stake in the very center of the
lot sites laid out by the surveyors. and
claimed the surrounding hundred and
sixty acres for his holding.
lie was told hat he could only have
as much land as would make a lot in
the town site, and that if he wanted a
hundred and sixty acres he must locate
it outside the city limits. He replied
that the proclamation said nothing
about town sites.
But of course" he went on, eff you
people want to build a city round my
farm, I've no objection. I don't care
for city life myself, and I'm going tc
turn this into a vegetable garden.
Maybe, though, if you want it very
bad, l might sell it."
For months he fought out the ques.
ton with the government, and i.

Tame JackdawS.

Mr.. Green, an English naturalist,
records a tale about a pair Of jackdaws
kept by him at his home in South
Devon years ago. They had been taken
from the nest, and during the first
summer their wings were slightly
clipped. Afterward their wings were
allowed to grow, and they lived at full
liberty in the garden. They were per-
fectly tame, and would come at call
and feed out OF the hand, and in the
morning knock at the windows to ask
for some breakfast. Regularly n the
spring they flew away and Joined their
wild companions made their nests and
reared a family. But when this vas
over they came back to the garden
again. and were as tame as ever. But
the curious thing was that after one or
two seasons they brought another jack
daw with them, presumably the young
of one of them, which was just as tame
as themselves, although nothing had
ever been done to tame it, so that 1t
was impossible to tell which were the
original favorites and which was the
new one. Moreover, when after 4 few
years enc of these jackdaws was accis
dentally killed, another was brought

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE
Twelve Years of Established Merit !
NOTE OF
TO THE PUBLIC:

TO THE PUBLIC:
DWIGHT, H., April 80, 1892.
AS a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation of DIR. Leslie E. Keeley's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established BY OuI COM
pany under the uniform name Of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished i'll various parts Of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is adj
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all TO examine well
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
Of "Bi-Chloride of Cold" or similar titles.
The newspapers do not discriminate sutli-
GENTLY to know that they are imitators, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter OF
much concern 10 us, hence this warning.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE f. KELLEY CO.
Curtis j. Judd, Sec'y and Treas.
The Kelley institute at Greensboro, n. G.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-.
sensations that there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same as, the
Kelley Double Chloride of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that if it be hurtfuI to us il will prove more
disastrous to those who are deceived thereby,
we sound this warning.
