bicycle face. He sits erect on the saddle
and looks straight ahead of him. al
though every one else turns around to
look at him. His usual ride is on Mad
ison avenue to Fifty-seventh street
and across to Broadway, and up the
Boulevard to 10Sth street. where he
turns down to the Riverside drive.
The small boys along the route are all
familiar with the well-known face of
the preacher, and they make this fact
known to him by yelling: 'Dere goes
der doc!' Put little more steam on,
Doc" "Shake 'er up, Doc!" and other
bits of friendly criticism and advice.
DR.. Parkhurst is not timid, but it was
. long time before he summoned up
enough courage to appear on the road.
He practiced all winter in riding acad-
emy, and Notwithstanding the bland
ishments of the complimentary instruct
or, who assured him that he was the
cleverest pupil in the history of the
academy, the doctor put off his debut
until he had become the next thing to
an expert
DR.. Parkhurst is not the only wheel
ing oddity to be seen on the boule-
ward by any means. 1t is something of
IN unusual thing to see a man worth
$70,000,Oo0 shooting along on a 800 bike,
but that is what William Rockefeller,
does. For many years Mr.. Rockefeller
drove the speediest trotterS on the
road, and his love for the horse is still
very great, but the plebeian bike has
made him cut down his stable consider
ably.
Twenty-d y-dolar-a-week clerks who
spend one-puarter of their weeks sal
ary on the hire of a horse and buggy
for Sunday afternoon drives with his
best girl look down upon the quietly
dressed man on the bike, but if anyone
told them that this unpretentious chap
could spend $500, 900 every month of
his life without affecting his income,
they would probably faint with surprise
Most of Mr. Rockefeller's wheeling is
done on the roads of his own estate
lockwood Hall, at Scarborough on the
Hudson He is the owner of four ot
five machines, one of them being an oil
burning motor cycle. He is often seen
spinning through his pretty mark, and
will stop and talk to wandering wheel
men about bicycle tours, if the notion
strikes him. In order to make wheeling
easy for wheelmen and wheelwomen,
Mr.. Rockefeller has constructed a Gin
der path from the beginning of his es-
tate at Scarborough to its end near Tar
rytoWn. making one OF the finest bicy-
Gle paths for tourists in New York
state
Mr.. Rockefeller is getting to be quite
tourist himself. He also likes to coast
down the hills of his estate, and has often
proved himself to be an expert rider in
cases of emergency. He makes trips to
Tarrytown on his bicycle nearly every
day. visiting the vast estates of his
brother, John d., and he also rides to
Dobbs Ferry, where the new Million
aires Country clug is located
Mr.. Rockefellers bicycle costumes
are very striking. Some days he wears
a lightcorded knickerbocker suit, light
cloth leggings and light tan colored
shoes. Other days he wears a suit of
some dark material, with silk lining:
dark alpine hat or CAP, leather leggings

careful investigation OF the public
records discloses the fact that there are
yet several millions OF acres of public
lands in Oklahoma yet subject to home
stead entry and settlement
II has generally been understood that
all the lands in Oklahoma ft for agrt-
cultural purposes are already occupied.
but such is not the fact Owing to the
method adopted for the opening OF these
lands to settlement. In many cases a.
high as five OF six persons would settle
on single track on the day Of the race.
and rather than stand the expense OF q

abandon the land. Again, the main
race for lands at those openings was for
tracts near the cities or proposed town
sites and along the lines OF railroads,
and thus many hundreds OF almost
equally as good farms as are In Okla
homa were pasesd over in the mad rush
for homes.
1t is true that large portion of the

for stock-raising than for agricultural
purposes; yet there are still hundreds Of
