The rooms in this house are old
fashioned in regard TO size, as there
are only five, and they use up the
available space in a building "a feet
wide by 43 feet long, without meas
uriDg the front porch. The design is
attractive and it is very easy to build
a house of this style. For a small
family there are rooms enough, and
they will suit those people who feel
cramped in rooms of smaller size. A
dining-room IS by % feet is unusual
except in the very largest houses, and
a kitchen that is IL feet 6 by 10 also
is unusual. This arrangement of
dining-room and kitchen is well adapt
ed to farm houses where kitchen
and pantry room is an object. There
is only one chimney, but the chin
ney has three flues. There is econ
omy in building a chimney like this,
but not every house is designed so
the kitchen chimney will answer for
cooking and also for the fire place and
heating the house.
This style of house also is very
good for a comfortable summer home,
and there are more such houses be-
ing built every year, both at the
lakeside and in farming districts. A
good many people are obliged to live
in the city in the winter time, but
they like to get out into the country
as soon as spring opens. They usu
ally have a good deal of company to
meals and this is another reason why
a dining-room of this size is pre-
ferred. For such a purpose house
may be built without a cellar which
will save a good deal in first cost. The
range in the kitchen and the fireplace
in the dining-room will answer fol
heating until severe cold weather
comes late in the fall. When fire
place heat is depended upon a good
big room is necessary, so that the
heat may be gently diffused instead OF

MateriaIism in Children.

II is perhaps not unnatural that the
growth of fortunes should bring the
facts of life early before the minds of
children, and that, as a result. there
should be a tendency towards ma

view. Not long ago heard two girls
of six and seven talking on a country
road. They we're children whose par
ents were amply able to give them
whatever they thought best for them
to have. The first child said, "How
can we make some money? / tell

Susan we're here; she buys radishes

wild Indian camping ground
Passing Of the Indian.
AS recently as 80 years ago the
American people generally knew of
Oklahoma only as a haunt of Indians
and a hunting ground for big game.
Early In the eighties white settlers,
who had overrun Kansas and the new
middle west states, began to investi-
gate Oklahoma. They found the new
territory rich and appealed to the
government for the opening of 1t to
settlement. The government did not
readily act upon the request, and
many of these whites, becoming impa-
tient, entered the reservation forcibly
and set up their homes. They were
driven out, but repeatedly renewed
their efforts, and many clashes with
soldiers occurred.
But these pioneers, then looked
upon by the government as outlaws,
finally persuaded congress to open
Oklahoma to settlement. Hence, the
names of these same outlaws" have
been immortalized in Oklahoma his
tory.
At the time Of the opening all OF
Oklahoma, except that portion taken
from Texas in the Greer county bound
airy dispute and the narrow strip be-
tween Kansas and Texas, extending
to the Colorado and New Mexico lines,
was included in the Indian Territory.
Oklahoma territory, which was held
| by the government for the use of the
Indians, but had never been assigned
to any tribe, consequently consisted
in those days of only about 100000
acres. There occurred the first great
rush for homes, which brought into
existence Oklahoma City. From time
to time the government transferred
other portions of land from the Indian
! Territory to Oklahoma territory for
settlement by whites, until, when the
Oklahoma-Indian Territory statehood
bill passed, all that remained OF In
dian Territory were the reservations
OF the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Chero-
kee, Creek, Seminole and Quapaw
tribes.

ical devices for supplying water to
bathrooms in the country. The most
satisfactory arrangement is a tank in
the ground, which may be a large dis
carded boiler shell, and it may be
filed from the caves by opening a
valve before each shower and closing
1t afterwards. There must be sufil-
cient air pressure to drive the water
up to the second story. but this is
easily supplied with a bicycle foot
pump. BY having two tanks il is not
necessary to let the air out, but the
water is pumped into the second or

OIL Fields Are Rich.

OIL Fields Are Rich.
Some OF the richest oil fields In
America are In Oklahoma. The Glenn
Pool oil district, south of Tulsa, be-
tween Red Fork and Mounds, has be-
tween $50 and 500 producing oil wells,
with a total capacity of 100000 bar
rels a day. The first of these wells
was sunk in December. 1905. Pipe
lines have been constructed for the
transportation of this oil to the Texas
seaboard and to the refineries at Whit
ing, Ind. More than $10,000,000 has
been invested in tanks, pumping sta
tons, and pipe lines in Tulsa county.
Eastern Oklahoma, which is not so
uniformly even as the western portion
Of the state, produces more than
100000 tons of coal a year, for
which its mines receive about $6,00O,-
900. The coal field extends from the
vicinity Of Tulsa on the north to the
Texas line on the south, and is more
than 100 miles broad. The state con-
tains about $50 coal mines, employing
about 10000 operators.

all OF which flow toward the south
