THE LAST THREE TERRITORIES.

Proposition to Make One State Out of
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
From 1876 to 1896 six territories of the
United States were admitted to state
hood-Montana Washington, Idaho,
Wyoming. Utah and Dakota--the last
as two states, North and South Dakota.
Prior TO that Colorado was admitted
on August /, 1876, and Nebraska on
March /, 1867. There are now remain
ing only three territories in the United
States, exclusive of the District of Co.
lumbia, the Indian territory and Alas
ka, which makes no serious pretensions
to statehood. These three territories
are Arizona, New Mexico and Okla
homa, and when all three are admitted
into the union, if they ever are, the
United States will extend literally from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
Canada TO Mexico.
Arizona covers an area of 10000
square miles. New Mexico covers an
area of 10000 square miles, and Okla
homa, with No Mans Land, covers an
nrea of $4,000 square miles-in all, 275,-
coo square miles, or 10000 square miles
more than the entire area of the Lone
Star state of Texas. The present pop
llation of Arizona is about 10000; OF
New Mexico, $4,000, and of Oklahoma,
about 100000 or 100000 in all. The pop
ulation of Texas is about 2,750,000, or
more than ten times greater. The OBJ
jections now interposed to the admis-
sion of either Arizona or New Mexico
are equally strong in both political
parties.
1t is a fact that New Mexico and
Arizona were originally one territory
and included portions of the present
states of Colorado and Nevada. Suisse

the three made into one state. with a
land area of about the same size as
Texas, but with total population now
only one-tenth as great. The new
state would start under conditions
which would give reasonable promise
Of q sufficient increase in the future to
fulfill public requirements. The admis-
sion of the three into the union as one
state would probably forestall much of
the opposition to the admission of any
of them separately and would eliminate
at last the territories from the union

WHEELING IN WINTER.
some Simple Precautions That Should Be
Ohsarvad Strictly.


Observed Strictly.
Heretofore the majority of cyclists
nave laid their wheels ION the shelf"
Is soon as the autumn winds commenced
10 blow, but from present indications
It is evident that il will be a common
light to see numbers of cyclists of both
sexes taking spin over the packed
snow or ice throughout the winter.
II one is properly fortified against the
winds he finds that in no season is cy-
cling so exhilarating as in the winter.
provided we adhere to the laws of
nature" said prominent physician the
other day, 81 see no reason why the
riding season should end with the fall.
The winters of late have been very open,
with but little snow, and the roads
have been such as to allow of wheeling
nearly the entire winter. But those
who ride during the winter months
must exercise a bit of caution and be
particular to dress in windproof cos
tunes, which will be properly venti-
lated and at the same time be of sufti-
cient warmth. The most important
thing to bear in mind is to keep in mo-
ton while out of doors, and in no case
should a person stand still in the open
air after exercising unless one is sui
cidally bent.
"a heavy chest protector, covering
the back as well as the chest, is almost
indispensable, particularly on windy
days. A newspaper buttoned under the
vest will be found very comfortable
it is not heavy and will keep the wind
away from ones person, at the same
time retaining the natural heat of the
body"
There have recently been manufac-
tured several articles of apparel de-
signed expressly for the cyclists COM
fort during the winter months. A
western firm is advertising garments of
a texture which is said to be wind
proof. They make up skirts, coats and
chest protectors.
Innumeraole complaints of cold hands
were made by last winters riders, and
indeed this has been one of the chief OBJ.
jections to winter riding. The cold steel
of the handle bars and the lack of cir
culation in the hands caused many q
cold finger. A heavy, tight-fitting
wristlet worn with glove that will
reach well over the coat sleeve, will
remedy the evil. A sort of mitten Of
heavy felt covered with leather has
lately been devised. 1t is about Is
inches in length and reaches over the
coat sleeve well up to the elbow; hole
is cut in the lower end, which allows
the NIT to fit over the cork grip, encas-
ing the hand very warmly.
Hoods, ear mufflers, or such head
covering as that used by skaters, while
perhaps not particularly handsome,
will be quite comfortable, and if one
wishes to be fully equipped ne can get
felt gaiter which will pull up over the
entire shoe. A loose-fitting shoe is
preferable, as it gives the freest ventila-
tion.-N. Y. journal.

Has whiukers At Fourteen.

I'd Jenkins is 14-year-old boy liv-
ing in Garrard county, KY, whose
claim to distinction is based on the
fact that he has fully developed black
mustache that many man of 30 would
be proud to boast. The boy was hardly
ten years old when the fur began to
sprout on his upper lip. Contrary to
the usage OF boys he did not encourage
it's growth by surreptitiously shaving.
He never put razor to his face. but
the hair needed no encouragement, but
continued to grow and become darker,
until the mustache was thick and long.
The remarkable feature is that the boy
is not particularly developed beyond his
years in any other way. He is not
above the average in height or weight.
He still wears knee pants. and 1t is a
queer sight to see the kid fumbling
ct his mustache and curling the ends.
