Encourage immigration.

The Rock Island System is
making an effort TO encourage
immigration into Oklahoma, as
well as to interest capitalists and
business and professional men in
the territory.
In this undertaking it should
have the active cooperation Of
every resident, for this reason:
the more people there are in Ok
lahoma, the higher the price of
land will be and the greater will
be the prosperity of every man
and woman in it.
The plan which will be followed
is to publish, in Eastern farm
journals, letters from farmers
and business men who have made
money by coming to Oklahoma.
Letters should go into details to
the extent of stating how much
money the writer had when he
arrived, what he did, what sue
cess he has met with and what he
thinks of that portion of Okla
homa in which he is located. In
order to prepare such a letter, it
is not necessary that the writer
should possess special qualifica-
tons Is n literary man. On the
contrary, a plain straightforward
statement of facts is of much
greater value than ilorid des-
criptions of climatic and other
advantages.
Photographs, not of persons,
but Of cattle, feed lots, growing
crops, harvesting operations, ETC.,
a be used to advantage.
Letters are desired not only
from farmers and farmers wives,
but also from merchants, school,
teachers, clergymen-from every
one, in brief who has a story to
tell and knows how to tell it.

An Actress Started in Her Career by
a Minister.

From New York Homes of Famous
Stage Folk" by Gustav Kobbe, In Octo-
Der Metropolitan Magazines: Alice Fisher
was started on her stage career by a
Clergyman. 1t was the rector OF one of
the Episcopal churches In Terre Haute,
Ind. who brought her on to New York
and saw that she was properly placed in
a dramatic school,. Out in Terre Haute
she had been what is called a mover In
church circles. She had taught the worst
class in Sunday school,, conducted the
sewing circle. been a leader in getting
up the church benefits and she managed
the tableauX and recitations besides re-
citing herself. Because OF all this. when
her evident talent as a reciter decided her
to try the stage. 1T was the rector of st.
Stephens Episcopal church, Terre Haute,
who came on with her to see her safely
started in New York.
She was a very good girl; and IN the
sleeper. before climbing into her berth.
she knelt down and said her prayers, I'M
til she was stepped on so often that she
cut them short. Her first experience of
the real stage was 'suping' in Lawrence
Barrett's production of Julius Caesar"
She had good height and that attracted
Barrett's attention. She often had spoken
TO the girls at the school of Senator Voor-
bees, whom she had known well: so.
when Barrett asked in his classical way,
..Who is that Romanesque looking girlf"
the person he questioned responded. "Oh.
that's Alice Fisher. the tall sycamore OF
the wabash" Title. like girl. struck
Barrett's fancy, and he interested him
self in her progress,
Mr.. Harcourt, who was her leading man
in Mrs. jack is her husband, and they
have a pretty apartment on Central Park
West. Opposite u.s." she says, the park
slopes down to a lake. We toboggan
down the slope in winter, and in summer
fall into the lake to keep cool"
One corner Of her sitting room is the
dogs corner" and has a window seat.
where her two pets can sit and look out
on the park. One of them is a Pekinese
pug; the other. she frankly acknowledges,
combines 'all the fifty-seven varieties"
When at home she maintains, besides the
& dogs, a parrot, a cat, a squirrel and two
J gold fish, the mere enumeration Of which
is sufficiently humorous to render further
comment unnecessary.
Over her desk she has framed the last
letter written by Edwin Booth. It is adj
| dressed to her and explains that, owing
to bad health, he cannot come to the
: Twelfth Night club. In her desk she has
e letters from Gillette and Belasco. and she
has given these dramatic lumtnaries the
cheering assurance that, when they die,
their letters also shall be framed and
hung up over her desk. This gives them
1 something pleasant tor which to look for
ward.

The Retort Feminine.

New York Daily News: AT an uptown
restaurant the other day a middle-aged
woman entered the place. and taking a
seat at one Of the tables, carefully scru-
tinized the bill of fare. She concluded to
try some ice cream pudding at 10 cents a
plate. After 1t had been served she looked
1t over carefully, and. calling the waitress
back, said:
do you call this Ice cream pudding?'
"Yessum, and it's very nice, too"
"But where Is the ico cream?"
"Oh, that's only the name given that
peculiar make of pudding. We are maxi
ing a specially of 1t. I'm sure you'll like
1t when you taste It,"
ut seems to me that you ought to give
ice cream with it, as long as you say it
Is ice cream pudding
w don't give cottages with cottage
pudding" quickly replied the witty wait
ress. This retort convinced the middle.
aged women, and she ordered a second
plate.

CURIOUS JAcK-lN-ARMoR.
Hia Duty 10 to Announce the Com.
mencenoen% of CL cut.

mencement Of Church Services,
london Queen: Several of the old
towns on the Suffolk, England. coast
can boast Of a jack-of-armor. One of
tne best is at Southwold. that quaint,
otd-rashioned seaside resort, now try
ing to burst from Its chrysalis stage
INTO a fashionable butterfly seaside re-
sort.
some a ago the jack used to stand
outside the church on a bracket over
the western arch. and as each hour
came round on the clock he struck his
hatchet against the bell to announce the
time. The poor old jack of carved oak
Weathered many a storm outside the
building, until some wise person, seeing
that he was being gradually worn
away suggested his being preserved
inside the edifce.
The Southwold jack-fn-armor is a
curious looking parsonage. He stands
about three feet high, and at the pres
ent holds an exalted position
near the beautifully carved and painted
old screen. He is perched we'll on high.
SO ne an be seen by most of the con-
gregtaion, TO whom he now announc
the commencement of the service.
When the clergy are ready to leave
the vestry the string which goes down
jacks right arm is gently pulled, and
his arm begins to move up and down
striking the bell as 1t does so with
Jacks Ratchet. placed for the purpose
beside the figure. He makes a con
siderable noise, and strangers in the
congregation are somewhat startled at
SO unusual a disturbance If not pre-
pared beforehand.
The interesting little figure is painted
dark green, relieved here and there
with gold. His dress is of armor, and
he wears big gauntlet gloves. In the
left hand he holds a sword. His helmet
comes down well ove his brows, and
his ears are protected by the projecting
sidepieces. He does not aspire to a
vizor, but his helmet is studded with
big nails. He has a nice kindly face,
a little flattended at the nose and
mouth thorugh long ages, for ever
wooden jacks will not wear forever. Al
one time many of the Suffolk churches
boosted a jack, but today these queer
little gentlemen are rare.

LARGEST ENGINES EVER eulLr.
q Western Railway Adds a Pair 81
World Beaters to Its E%ouinren+

w US equipment.
Snlcago Evening Post: The Alton
win locomotive works two new express
passenger engines. They are the larg-
est INC most powerful ever built. There
IS nothing In the world today to equal
Ihem. Ihey nave been built expressly
Tor the expected heavy business Of the
Louisiana purchase exposition in St.
Louis. ~"
The duty of these engines will be to
haul trains made up of twelve passen-
ger cars and weighing about coo tons.
exclusive OF passengers and baggage.
Such a train will accommodate 760 peo-
PIE. whose aggregate weight would not
be less than ifty-seven tons, and esti-
mating their baggage at fifteen tons.
the total weight Of the train behind the
engine Will be 675 tons. Such a train
VIII have to be hauled 110k miles in
Nv n one-half hours. making two
stops and three ~slowdowns for railroad
crossings. This will reduce the actual
running time to two hours and twenty
Tour minutes, and necessitates an ay-
erage running speed Of forty-six miles
an hour.
The cylinders are twenty-five inches
IN diameter by tWenty-eight inches
stroke; the driving wheels are eighty
lnches IN diameter and the working
SSSoA 10 SSu pOuQuS TO the
square inch. The engine is carried on
twelve wheels, a forward truck, six
connected driving wheels and a trail
er beneath the firebox. The total weight
on the driving wheels is 141,7O0 pounds,
On the front truck the weight is &c, 300
pounds, and on the trailing wheels H.
500 pounds, the total weight of engine
being 21a,500 pounds. and the total
weight of the engine and tender is
about $4,000 pounds. The tender,
which has a capacity of $500 gallons
of water and nine tons of coal, is the
! largest yet built by the Baldwin conn
pany.
The boiler is of the straight type, and
seventy inches in diameter, with 1913
2A inch tubes twenty feet in length.
The frebox is nine feet long by six feet
wide, six feet deep at the front and five
feet o inches deep at, the back.
There are 202 square feet Of heating
surface in the firebox, 3,S4S square feet
in the fireboX tubes, making a total of
4,07S square feet Of heating surface.
The crate area is fifty-four square feet.
A remarkable feature, which in itself
is illustrative Of the great size Of these
engines. is the smokebox, which is no
less than eight feet five inches III
length. The tractive effort Is $1,000
pounds; that is, if the tender drawbar
were attached to a dynamometer 1t
would register over fifteen tons.
