native racy of the soil. About the best thing I
have found of this class is book of verse by
Prof. Freeman A. Miller, of the Oklahoma A. &
M. College. Here is a very creditable poem on
"The Opening of Oklahoma" and a remarkably
spirited, Kiplingesque 'cBallad of the Alamo" but
what impressed most perhaps is "The Plant

Indiana man who came down here in 1889 and
made the great April dash with the others-and

They'll gobble his claim and blacken his name and
take every cent in his pants"
Perhaps this opinion might not count for 50
much, did not the Tenderfoot support it by bit
of personal experience which I think is worth re-
peating:
II ran race for hundred miles wild and
reckless race

TWENTY YEARS SLEEP.

Rip Van winkIe's Case May Have
Been More Fact Than Fiction.
Even superficial students OF folklore
know that the tale OF Rip Van Wrinkle,
suppoSing that Irving really heard il in

Hudson. is by no means peculiar to
that district. but is found I'm some form
or other all over the world. In other
words, the idea that 1t is possible for
human being to survive in a state OF

experience.
DR.. Lancereaux in the Paris Bulletin

another shell burst at his feet. wound

turned to Paris and. reduced to abso-

One day manufacturer OF some pat

him TO illustrate its virtues. Lepage,
who was always sincere, gave his best
work 10 this advertisement He paint

The leaves OF tender green Quivered in
the breeze. A group OF beautiful young
girls gathered around n fountain from
which the elixir OF youth sprang in a
bubbling stream. Lepage believed there
was real merit in it.

asked his patron.
The manufacturer was delighted.
But first paint a rainbow arching over

Lepage refused.

The price Of this picture meant bread
for months, and the painter had long
needed bread. The chance OF admis.

carried the canvas to the salon. 1t was
admitted.
Its great success insured Lepage
public recognition, and his later work
gained him place among the greatest
