The Wilderness.

This theater of bloody conflicts is vast sea, so to speak, of dense forest "a second growth more than century old. It is made up chiefly of scrubby, low limbed, stubborn oaks and disor- dered, haggard pines, for the soil is cold and thin, with here and there scattering clumps of alien cedars. Some of the oaks are large enough to cut two railroad ties, and every once and awhile you come across an acre or two of pines ten to twelve inches in diameter, tall and tapering, true to the soaring propensities of their kind. But generally, and above all where the bat tie was fought, the trees are noticeably stunted and so close together and thick lower limbs so intermingled with a thick underbrush that 1t is very diff ficult indeed to make ones way through them.-Atlantic Monthly.

Mered;th's Advice to Stead.

W. T. Stead tells a characteristic story of George Meredith, which is all the more appreciable as it is told against himself.
 "He was a true friend" says MT Stead, mot less faithful in criticism than he was cordial in his appreciation. Of the former I remember well the neat way in which he put me out of conceit with my first attempt to write a story I sent him my little effort with fear and trembling. My trepida' tion was not without warrant. I have read "From the Old World to the New,"' he wrote. Some of the char

VerdI's Secrecy.

Verdi observed great secrecy con- corning his operas, even to his busi- ness associates, and it is said that the first intimation his business managers, the Ricordis, received of the compost ton of "Falstan'' was a toast offered by Boito, who at supper one night, when the publisher and his wife were present, slyly glanced at Verdi and proposed a health to the fiat knight" at which it seemed Verdi and Bpito had been working for months.

Demonstration Farm For
Beaver

r. ]. Brewer this week made a IN
tract with the State TO run a Demon
stration Farm one mile south and two
miles east of Beaver, under the aug
pieces Of the A. 4 NJ. College and the
State Board Of Agriculture at Still
water. Oklahoma, for the purpose Of
demonstrating to the farmers of Beav-
er county a better class of farming.
Showing the kind o fcrops best adapted
to this climate and soil, the proper
system of cultivation and handling Of
same to obtain better results.
o. A. Brewer, member Of the State
Board Of Agriculture, from Still water,
representing that body and here in the
interest Of The Farmers Institute.
stated that the establishment of this
farm, likewise farms in other counties
TO see and better understand the re-
suit of these demonstrations and
experiments than by reading the pam
phlets ard other literature sent out
from time to time 10y the college.
There is perhaps no other one thing
in modern farm life of more interest
and value to the farmers Of a county
than their Institute. Socially il is of
great benefit, widening the circle of
intelligent ::accuaintances, broadening
the views of the members on social and
kindred topics. Then it Is the medium
through winch the intelligent farmers
learn of the beneficial methods of his
neighbors, aud of their failures in some
line of experiment. 1t is tire place
where he may hear and give results OF
different lines of farming. Many
study ways and means of using up sur
plus that otherwise would go to waste
ON the farm, and find the plug u stop
many a leak in the farm finances.
We believe this is the right move in
the right direction along these lines in
the establishment Of a Farmers Insti.
tute in connection with a demonstra-
ton farm which will greatly enhance
the sources and the value of the pro.
ducts of Beaver county. 1t is a good
thing for tn better education of Tn,
farmer and his boys and girls and
valuable asset to the town and should
be boosted by every citizen of tn,
county.

The Family Reading Problem

To find reading that satisfies ones
craving for the bright and attractive,
and Is at the same time perfectly suit
able for the impressionable young
people, is at times difficult. The best
magazines are admittedly published
for mature readers only. The Youths
Companion alone is for all the family.
While the editors keep in mind the
eager desire OF the young for tales of
action. enterprise and adventure these
stories in The Companion are so well
written as to fascinate men and
women in all stages of life's journey.
And this is true not only of the fiction
in The Companion, but of the entire
contents. The articles, 10y famous
writer's, convey knowledge that is USE
full to the wisest and most experienced
as well as to the immature, In short,

A Big Cave in Oklahoma

Sapulpa Okla, Oct. 27-That there
is a cave in Oklahoma almost the equal
as il is believed by those who have
seen it. Of the Mammoth Cave of Ken
lucky is not generally known. This
save ia in the Seminole Nation. Gra-
ham Burnham. a civil engineer, has
announced the formation of a party Of
fifteen to make a complete exploration
The prolonged dry period has made
this exploration a possibility, for there
Is a subterranean stream in the cave
which is reported now at a low stage
At the time when Burnham first en-,
tered the ave. while searching for a
place To spend the night while lost, he
penetrated il or one division of il, for
a distance of a mile and a half. He
reports many wonders. His research
was interrupted by coming upon a
stream ef unmeasured depth. He re-
ports the entrance OF another ave
leading of from the one explored, and
which gave indication Of being the
| main one.
1t is expected that the party will
take from a week to ten days to go
through the ave this time, and in the
party will be, it is expected, a repre-
sentative of the state geological survey,
a member Of the j. Robert Burnhan
engineering office, Clarence Jack, a
photographer, and Newspaper cores
pondents. The entrance to the cave is
about sixteen miles from Holdenville
and in a very broken country.
1t was in this cave that Andrew
Crane, a white man adopted by the
Indians, who married the sister of
Governor Brown of the Seminoles. dis
covered a we'll defined footprint in the
rock interior which is now in posses
sion of the Smithsonian Institution.
The date set for the formation of
the party is November 4th. This cave
or the entrance to it, into which a man
on horseback can ride, is believed to
have been often a hiding place for the
Indians when pursued, and it probably
was there that the STAFFORD and Carey
gangs and other outlaws who frequent
ed the Canadian Valley in early days,
concealed themselves while eluding
pursuit,
