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 corporation 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 60 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-
tions as a literary man. On the
contrary, a plain straightforward
statement of facts is Of much
greater value than llorid des-
criptions of climatic and other
advantages.
Photographs, not of persons,
but Of cattle, feed lots, growing
crops, harvesting operations, ETC.,
can be used TO advantage.
Letters are desired not only
from farmers and farmers wives,
but also from merchants, school
teachers, clergymen-from every
one, i'm brief who has story to
tell and knows how to tell it.

How Burr Saw Hie Sweetheart.

In January of ITO Colonel Burr was
given command of the ''lines'' in West
chester County, New: York. It was at
this time that he first met Mrs. Provost,
the widow Of British officer. She
lived across the Hudson, some fifteen
miles from the shore, but the river was
patrolled by the gunboats of the Brit
ish, and the land by their sentries.
In spite of these difficulties, however,
Burr managed to make two calls upon
Mrs. Provost during the winter, both
Of them necessarily informal.
He sent six of his trusted soldiers
to place on the Hudson, and under
the overhanging bank they moored a
large boat, well supplied with blankets
and buffalo robes At 9 o'clock in the
evening he left White Plains, mounted
On the smallest, swiftest horse he could
procure, and when he reached the rem
devious, the horse was quickly bound
and laid in the boat.
Burr and the six troopers stepped in,
and in half an hour they were across
the river. The horse was lifted out,
unbound. and with q little rubbing was
ready for use. Before midnight he
| was at the home of his beloved, and at
| four in the morning he came back to
the troopers. awaiting him on the river
| bank. and the return trip was made in

CARING FOR INVALIDS.

The Chicago Tribune lays down the
following rules to be observed in car
ing for invalids with infectious dis
eases:
Every one who enters the sickroom
wears wash dress during the whole
illness, and before coming into contact
with the rest Of the family washes and
changes her garments and then re-
sumes the cotton gown before re-enter-
ing the sickroom.
The sickroom has a sheet soaked in
carbolic lotion hung outside the door.
All the windows in the Railways are
kept open, and food and other articles
needed in the room are placed out
side for those within to get. and are
not handled indiscriminately by others.
All the bed and personal linen Of the

patient are soaked in disinfectant for
several hours and then hung out in
the open for forty-eight hours before
being sent to the wash.
Every article used in the room is
disinfected befor" bel lg used else
where. Books and papers are mostly
burned.
For disinfecting the room half tea
spoonful Of black oxide OF manganese
and two teaspoonfuls Of common salt,
placed in saucer in the middle of the
room, are efhcac GUS. Over this mix
ture a few drops. Of sulphuric acid are

After setting the sulphuric acid the
room is vacated and the cracks and
the keyhole are pasted up from outside.
III twenty-four hours the room is en-
tered without closing the door and
the windows have been thrown wide
open.
In another twenty-four hours it is
thoroughly cleansed with soap and
water. BE exceedingly careful in the

Paris fancies scarlet rain coats OF
silky gloria.
Linen belts and gilt harness buckles
are quite a success.
White caracul is mentioned among
fashions preference in furs.
Rose patterns appear in the newest
silk embroideries in variety OF color
ings.
ivory combs studded with gems are
especially designed for wear in white
hair
Lingerie hats are made of sheer en-
broidery with the figures in pastel col
oring.
Ball gowns scintillate with rich en-
hroideries and sashes figure on all OF
them.
Cooue feathers in breasts, pompons
and nIume designs adOrn many OF the
fall hats. -
Ivory white is again in great request
for autumn wear, set Off with one OF
the new cape stoles.
Narrew silk braid and cord will be
extensively used as a trimming for
tailor made costumes.
The newest long chains have the
stones run through, instead OF encased
in the metal Of the chain.
Ernline will be favored among White
fIrs, though it's scarcity has LED to a
considerable advance, in price.
Black. white. cream, ccru and cham
pagne are the shades in which the new
silk laces will be conspicuous.
Coral is growing rare and costly; the
pale pink beads are choice and are
shown combined with diamonds.
Plain face cloths and self-colored
coarse homespuns and hopsacks will
be as popular as ever during the new
season.
Tailored suit plates for fall show half
length coats. belts, full sleeves, harlng
skirts and stole collars or 10 collars
whatever.
Even London tailors now trim jacket
suits quite elaborately, though the last
to come to it. but the perfectly plain
costume is now passe.
Broad tail zibeline is one of the new
materials for evening wraps. 1t comes
in both black and white, the latter be-
ing the more effective.

THE AUTUMN MILLINERY.

L
The soft white and light colored fe1ts
that take the place of the straw sailor
and tailored hats i'll the autumn outfit
are this season more attractive than
ever. Their severe lines are softened
by breasts, pompons and quilts. to-
gether with a draped scarf of silk or
broad ribbon. The novelties produced
for this season show a decided ten
dency toward smaller shapes. and the
newest toques have the brims rolled
up in front and at the sides and the
crown low and flat Birds and wings
are a noticeable feature Of the early
season hats. In some instances birds
are arranged to lie flat OH the crown
with wings extended. while others dec
crate sides and rolled brims of toques.
Wings and quilts are frequently COM
bined with large fiat rosettes: this
trimming is very effective on hats in
tended for ordinary wear. Nothin so
distinguishes the dressy hat as the os-
trich plume. It's popularity is more
pronounced than ever; and it was never
more effectively used. A conspicuous
fancy of the present season is to use
these plumes in delicate tints. Pale
lilac shaded into pink. cream into gold
EN- yellow and palest blue tipped with
white are given preferences: pure white
is, of course, q safe choice and advis-

DISASTERS OF CHILDHOOD. J.,
Many mother makes the mistake Of
sympathiZing too much with her little
one over the small accidents that keep
happening. They magnify every bump
into a tragedy, with the result that the
baby grows up prone to self-pity and
to expect pity from Others Children
have a strong sense of the dramatic.
They love to find themselves the cen
trail figure. with mother, father, grand
mother and the other children all ad-
miring or bewailing. unconsciously
they will magnify an unimportant hurt
in order to attract to themselves the
attention they crave. To teach child
to laugh at disaster is one Of the best
lessons he can learn.-Philadelph Tel

Miss Decker sighed softly. s'But they

ne said. Somebody has wanted to

He never told me so.''
What would you say il he should

What would you say if I told you?"
Miss Decker screamed in subdued
tones. ''You?" she said
Sutton nodded. "Yes," he said. "I'm

point between laughter and tears, and
there she halted. cit seems so strange"
she said. II can hardly believe you
mean it. We have known each other
so long. We have been together so
much. We have talked of so many
things, but-we never talked this way
before. You never did anything to
make me think that-that you-''
Sutton took another unprecedented
leap. "That," said he, was because
l am such a slow goer-such an idiot.
l wanted to ask you all right, but I
was too confoundedly backward"
Miss Decker spread her palms out On
the blotter and left her chin to take
care of itself. Sutton came to it's as
sistance. ''Now that have forged to
the front like man, he said, what
are you going to say to me-"
''That 1 am glad you forged to the
'front.'
At 4 o'clock Miss Decker resumed her
journey to Brooklyn. Sutton escorted
her as far as the elevator. When he
came back he paused before his desk
moodily.
"Well, SIR he said. eff this isn't the
darnedest mess I ever got mixed up
in
Then he took Hardy's letter from
beneath the blotter.
I celebrated the natal day by re-
newing my oath never to marry" he
read. "And wrote that just one hour
ago. can't send it now. I'll have to
write another letter"
Then he wrote: my dear Darnley: I
have news for you. I am going to get

foolishly delayed my happiness until
now We are going to be married next
month. hope you will come on to the
wedding."
"I'd like to Know" said Sutton, as he
reread the letter, ''if I really have
wanted to marry Ruth all this time, or
if I felt sorry for the poor girl on
account of Eer frank confe ssion that
she was the exception that proved my
rule? Anyway, hope it will turn out
all right"
| And it has turned out all right, but
even so Sutton sometimes wonders if
other men do the trick as suddenly
as he did-New York Times.
