A Letter from Galena, Okla.

By request We write a few line
about Woodson county, Oklahoma
As We have been here only 30 day,
We haven't had an opportunity te
see much of the county.
We have rented farm of 100 acre,
for six months and are putting in g
crop of corn and kaffir corn. cane
and other things too numerous &c
ing out a claim. We rented a farm
for ii third and everything furnished.
We live in sight of the Glass noun
tains, about four miles northwest 81
Galena and about II southeast OF
| Waynoka and 81 miles southeast of
Alma, the county seat of Woods
county.
There are thousands of acres of
vacant land here but the choice claims
are taken. Often you can buy a good
claim cheap as there is some one who
wants to leave. In a few years all
this land will be taken. We think it
is a good place for a poor man to
get a home.
There is quite good bit of timber
in this country but it i. of a scrubby
growth except the cottonwood.
There are plenty OF saw mills in the
country.
Plenty of good soft water can be
found here. The wells are dug in the
sand but not walled up.
The land on the north side of the
Simmeron river is principally OF a
sandy nature, while that on the south
is red and hard.
There are thousands of head OF cat
tie feeding on the grass now and
quite number were when we arrived
on the Both of March. The grass is
looking fine
There has been an abundance of
rain here this spring.
People live in all kinds of houses,
sod, dugouts, stockades, log, tents
and fine dwellings, but the majority
OF them are living in hopes of seeing
better days.
The people here are very social and
seem to be happy.
We have good Sunday Schools
here within one and two miles of us.
They are composed of all denomina-
tons. We had the privilege of going
to hear the Dunkards on April 20.
We will just say for the benefit OF
those that wish TO come here that
any OF this land will beat renting. or
at least we think so.

From Ainslee's Magazine South Af- cica exports hides, wool and mobair. and the ranchman would revel in riches were it not for the various pests that deciplate his focks and herds
 The most deadly one is the rinderpest, cattle plague which in the last ten years has been slowly creeping from Central Africa southward, leaving a wake of Ghitened bones. In travelling through Natal I saw fifty oxen lying lead about a spring, so suddenly had the disease attacked them. 1t was al- most impossible to get an untinged piece of steak at a restaurant, though the proprietor resented any such charge, and a plethoric German travel
 roast rinderpest' in the railroad cafe It De Aar Junction, Cape Colony, had 70 be picked up in fragments. Dr.
 Koch and other eminent specialists tried to stop this plague. The country is now recovering from it slowly. Another pest is the tsetse dy, an insect resembling our common house fly, but @AASS l1lllcS do lCS DllS Will h4'4 4 3 horse, COW or any other domestic animal in about ten days, but, strange 10 say, does not affect a wild animal pr human being. less dangerous, but more troublesome, pest is the white ant, which is about one-quarter of ai1 inch long and ubiquitous in many parts of the country. They live under the ground, and can only be routed by killing the queen, which sometimes reaches the size of one inch in length
 This insect is particularly harassing in Rhodesia. At Buluwayo my travelling
 ompanien inadvertently left his boots en the floor after turning in at night, and he arose next morning to find the uppers carefully separated from the soles. Lucky you didn'; leave your @lothes on the fioar, was the hotel seeper's only consolation. These ants wil1 eat through anything but metal
 and for that reason much of the build- ing is done with corrugated iron. The anthill is one of the conspicuous land- marks in travelling over South Africa.

 Little Out of the Usual.
 It always disturbs me-, said MT Ellington, ito see man op the ele- vated road offer his seat to a woman when he is about to get off; he has perhaps let her stand in front of hjr for blocks, and now when he is about to give up his seat anyway he makes show of giving it to her. curious exhibition of about three-quarters con- ceit and the rest cheek. Usually the woman pays no attention to this man: she takes the seat without thanks without taking any notice of the man whatever. But occasionally there is a variation of this incident. Sitting iu an end corner seat, by the door, was tired man, who, in a crowded car had kept his seat seemingly because hs thought it was right that he should if he had thought it out at all-but who now when he was about to leave. wanted to have the right person ge, the seat ne was leaving. With this idea in his mind and not with any con eeit of gallantry he, when he had risen, touched the sleeve of a young woman who had been standing by the door on the other side of the ear CD posite to him. to indicate to her thar here was seat.

ALONG THE AMAZON,
Indians Sunk in Almost Hopeless Bar-
 barism Inhabit Great Areas

The trip of the United States gum boat Wilmington up the Amazon river promises to be looked upon as one of the achievements of the closing cen tury. The commercial object of the Wilmington's cruise was to see how rubber was found in the natural state, and what manner of man it was who dwelt in the remote fastnesses Of the great forests whence ii came During the aunboat's stay the officers visited many Indian villages. The Indians were found to be apparently docile, but there was no mistaking their uncivil- ized state. Clothing, save a strip or two. worn by the women, are unknown. The men are strong and muscular, and show great chest development. They are copper-colored, of middle height, with well shaped limbs and small hands and feet. Their hair is black, straight and rather coarse, the features broad, eheekbones not generally prominent, eyes black, and, strange to say, some times oblique like those of the Tartar r races of Eastern Asia. The sole wea-
 
 and bow and arrow The bows are of great length, and in the hands of a skilled native can be made formidable. In some of the native huts the Ameri- can visitors found curious objects which, on closer investigation, proved to he mummlfied human heads. This was significant, inasmuch as it proved that the tribe belonged to the class known as head hunters,' term de- rived from their habit of preserving the heads of their enemies killed in battle. The process consists in remov- Ing the skull and treating it with cer. tain herbs until the head has been re- dueed to about one-sixth of it's original size. The hair and features are pre- served intant. thus giving the head a Fery life-like appearance. The lips are sewn together with hide thongs. upon which are recorded the details of the battle
