8 PubIto Laud. In Oklahoma. A careful Investigation of the public records discloses the fact that there are yet several millions of acres of public lands in Oklahoma yet subject to home- stead entry and settlement. It has generally been understood that all the lands in Oklahoma fit for agri- cultural purposes are already occupied, but isuch in not the fact. Owing to the method adopted for the opening of these lands to settlement, in many cases as high as five or six persons would settle on a single track on the day of the race, and rather than stand the expense of a (contest, or run the risk of other trou- ble, would, unkuown to each other, abandon the land. Again, the main race for lands at those openings was for tracts near the cities or proposed town sites and along the lines of railroads, and thus many hundreds of almost equally as good farms as are in Okla- homa were pasesd over in the mad rush for homes. It is true that a large portion of the yet unclaimed public lands are more tit for stock -raising than for agricultural purposes: yet there are still hundreds of good homes awaiting the taking in that country and undoubtedly a large num- ber of eastern people will take advan- tage of the same the coming season, .'us- How You lake It.

Gladness Comes W ith a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge. that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- easeshut simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle.

It is a not a toy, though it 33 ill please a boy. It is a hen, at !east It will hatch chickens from hens' eggs. It is 10305)(8 inches and will take care of twenty-eight eggs. It is an incu- bator and costs only $6.00. This wooden hen is made by George H. Stahl, Quincy, Ill.

Eugene Sue once took his seat in the French chamber of deputies by 'the side of Victor Hugo, and, while they were chatting together, a bill O. some kind was being !discussed. When the measure was put to the vote, the poet, to Sue's great sur- prise, rose from his seat and voted. -Did you hear what the speaker said?\ asked Sue. \Not a single syllable of it,\ was the reply. \Then how can you possibly vote?\ \Oh that's easy enough. Do you see that little gentloman with spectacles, facing you?\ \Yes.\ \Well it's he who virtually tells me which way to vote. As we are invariably of a dif- ferent opinion.

Critics Thiuk Si,', Ilas 1:bumpkin In House( ta 7 ruining Under Illok1/14 blopn. the Cegeloc: - fit Now In Olt the l'14CICC — - '1' IS the ambition of a New York woman, Mrs. W. E. D. Stokes, to, own the fastest trotter in the world. A great many experienced horsemen have tried for years, without success, to gratify the same ambition. Where there are from 20,000 to 30,000 harness horses in training every year and only one champion, it Is a lucky owner who draws the capital prize. Robert Bonner is the only patron of trotting who ever owned more than one turf champion, and he has spent upward of half a million dol- lars to gratify his liking for the distinc- tively American type of horse. 'Mrs. Stokes came into possession of her first noted trotter last October, on the twen- tieth anniversary of her birthday, when her husband presented the splendid four -year -old filly Beuzetta to her, and unless a majority of the critics of har- ness racing are wrong in their opinion, the fair young horsewoman now owns the coming queen of the turf. Everybody who follows the doings of the trotters knows all about Beuzetta, 2:06%. She was raised in She Blue Grass region of Kentucky and, like most Of the noted ones, she was thought to be of little account when a young thing, although bred in the height of fashion. The filly had a will of her own and a strong one, for nobody could, in- duce her to try to trot until Trainer GUS Macey got on . the good side of her in the summer of 1893. Edward Ayres, the breeder of Beuzetta, prized her so light- ly that he sent her to New York in 1892 to be sold at one of the big auction sales of trotting stock. If Mr. Stokes had liked Beuzetta as well then as he did the next time the filly came to New York he might have saved about $16,- 000, for the skittish little daughter of Onward and Beulah was knocked down for $500, an agent of the owner bidding her in and sending her back to Ken- tucky. Macey started Beuzetta in a couple of races as a two -year -old, but she failed to win, and she was so little known to horsemen that when her driver cut her loose at Maysville in August, 1894, winning a race and a record of 2:15%, her name was heralded throughout the country as Beuzetta. A month later the great three-year - old trotted in .2:12% at Indianapolis, and in October at Lexington she won the richest prize in the history of har- ness racing by defeating some of the best colts of the year for the Kentucky Futurity, worth $23,130 to the winner. Her greatest performances last season took place at Buffalo and New York. At the former meeting she defeated Klamath by trotting the fastest fourth heat on record, 2:06%, and at Fleetwood Park, when lame from the effects of a bruised heel and with one shoe off, she forced Azote out in 2:06 1 / 2 . Peter Duryea had been negotiating for Beuzetta before this race, and had just offered Mr. Ayres $16,500 for her when the starter shouted \Go!\ in the second heat. The Kentuckian hesitat- ed. Mr. Duryea raised his arm, point- ed to the flying filly as she rushed away at her utmost speed in pursuit of Azote down the Fleetwood hill, and, turning to Ayres who stood near him on the club house steps, called out: \Sixteen thousand five hundred. Who does she belong to?\ \She is yours,\ answered Ayres as solemnly as though he were pronounc- 'zig the death sentence on his favorite trotter. A few weeks afterward Stokes Lenught Beuzetta privately from his friend, Duryea, and in October present- ed It to Mrs. Stokes. As soon as Beuzetta changed hands &he was sent to the noted driver. Orin A. Hickok, at Oakland, Cal. The latter, tt is said, has got the high-toned daugh- ter of Onward going so that she will trot either a 3:00 gait or a 2:00 gait at her driver's will. Hickok doesn't care a fig about beating the world's record with Beuzetta, although he believes her capable of doing the trick. Ile would rather campaign her and make a big \killing\ with her somewhere in the - MRS. W. E. I). STOKES.

Upon leaving that com- pany he resolved to utilize his flue basso voice in the field of negro minstrelsy, and to this end secured an engagement with Austin & Weir's Minstrels, re- maining with them for one season only. , lie next joined Simmons & Rankin's Minstrels, and subsequently joined Mc - Nish, Johnson & Slaving Co., remain- ing with the latter organization tor two seasons. He was next engaged by W. T. Bryant to play an Irish character in \Keep it Dark,\ and in this role he WHIP so thoroughly satisfactory that he sag re-engaged Um the two following sea- sons.

There are more old-style wheels rid- den in Washington than in any other city in the country. The Chicago bicycle show was a great success. It is claimed that on some days the atendance aggregated 20,030 people. The total membership of the L. A. W. on January 6 was 38.703. Of this num- ber 10,048 are in New York state. The idea of cycling policemen is gradually working westward. It is said now that St. Louis will be the next city to adopt the new idea. The banquet reception, etc., given at the Atlanta Exposition by Manufac- turer Coleman, is said to have cost that gentleman about $10,000, which, considering the advertleine he . got out of it, was very cheap. It is rumored that Eddie Bald and Fred Titus will go abroad to try to lower the colors of the French professionals. The bottom seems to have dropped out of Isaac B. Potter's scheme to trans- fer the racing end of 'the L. A. W. to some athletic organization. As time rolls on the impression grows that Messrs. Titus, Cabanne and Mur- phy were honestly convicted, and now there is little expression of sympathy for them. At El Faso. recently, J. S. Johnsor hail a special trial on the El Paso track, making a half mile in 1 minute 1 2-5 seconds. He made one-third of a mile in 39 seconds against a strong wind. John S. Johnson announces his inten- tion of leaving for Paris early in Feb- ruary, providing Michael, the European m champion, with who he has arranged .s match, posts his $500 forfeit by that time. While abroad he will probably enter the international Olympian games, to be held at Athens next year. Several leading colleges of this coun- try are desirous of organizing an inter- collegiate cycling association, aecuring the abolishment of the two-mile cham- pionship usually held at the anneal meeting of the Intercollegiate Athletic association, and imbstituting in its 1.tead a purely cycling meet in the Aring of each year. Wildidie, a well known and valuable stallion, the property of Nagler. Burke, died recently in California. where he ass shipped in 1875.
