Edouard De Reszke are two of the
greatest singers in the world. One
brother has wonderful tenor voice.
while the other has a marvellous bass.
Both brothers have been paid enormous
sums of money for singing in this coun-
try. Jean De Reszke breeds all his own
horses. He has an extensive stud near
Warsaw in Poland. When the De Reszke
brothers We're in St. Louis in 1896, W. c.

he picked out Laureate as being the best
horse in the Finer stable, as none Of
the other animals shown him that day

singer would not have regretted buying
Laureate if the horse shipped well, as
there is no doubt but that he would have

vICTIMIzING OLD SOLDIERS
Oklahoma Land Sharks Still Sending
Out Deceptive Circulars

Washington. April Tin spite of the
warnings from Washington certain
agents in Oklahoma are still doing
IandofIice business with the old soldier.
Alluring promises are held out that
through these agencies the veterans may
get the best of it in the distribution o.
the kiowa, Conanche and Wichita res
ervatons. The interior department has
announced repeatedly that these agents
cannot make good their representations.
Old soldiers acn file their applications
by proxy, but in the distribution of the
lands they will have exactly the same
chances and no better than others have.
One old soldier sends from Nebraska
the CODY of a letter he has received from
one of these agencies which is asking
fee Of 500. The agents write; @Fvery
soldier is entitled to 160 acres of this
land, and can get it by the power of at
torney or agent"
The truth is the soldier can file his ap-
plication by proxy, but he will have no
other advantage in the drawing of the
numbers for the quarter sections.
I'VE are in a position the agents
continue, Ito give you one of these nice
farms and file you soldiers in a body as
near as can be practically done to get
the best. Our fee for securing you this
quarter section Of good, fine land is 500.

4zEUs7 ROBERTS : BENEDIcr-
Giant Center Rush of Harvard Eleven
Enjoys Unique Distinction.


Cambridge. Mass. April I7--It has just
been learned that 'Zeus" Roberts. the
275-pound. center rush on the Harvard
football team, is a married man, and
now he enjoys the double distinction Of
being the only man in the freshman
class to win an H for his work on the
gridiron and the only ~freshie" who was
ever known to enter college a benedict.
Every Harvard man and every man
who knows anything about football
knows "Zeus' Roberts. He was the
only freshman to win his football II, -
which made him probably one Of the
most popular men in his class, and in the
university Roberts was married last
September, just before the beginning of
college. just why he decided to take
this most important step at that time
is not known, but his is the result gen
orally given out
He was head over heels in love, and
could not wait He wanted to go to
college And he wanted wife. If he
came to Harvard a law of the universi-
ty would forbid his marriage until the
completion Of his four years course If
he was a married man on entering he
could stay SO without the interfering of
the authorities and enjoy life as he
pleased He chose the latter course. he
married, and. after a. honeymoon of one
day, he began grinding for the entrance
examinations.
The history of "Zeus' courtship dates
from q fancy ball which was given in
Salem lust about a wear ago. At this
BAN he met Miss Florence Dorr. After
the party the young Salem man called
on Miss Dorr- His attentions were not
displeasing to her, and the visits became
more and more frequent, and when cards
came out the last of August announcing
their engagement nobody was surprised.
Miss Dorr came from a good family in
Salem, and as Roberts parents were
both dead, the young couple decided to
live with the brides family.
''Zeus'' himself is possessed of consid-
cradle wealth.
