and north Fork or Ked river on the west,
- and contains in 'round numbers, t.lKXtO.OOU

one million acres taken up by the nioiin

tho Indians, leavingabout two million acres
to be turown open to white settlers. J lie

to settlement. On the north side of this
reservation Is another known as the Wichita
reservation, which may be Included at the
same time, but this Is not yet known. The
law opening tho reservation, provides ihat
tho allotments shall be made in from three
to six months, and makes it jhe dutv of the
President to issue a proclamation opening
the country within six months after the al
lotinonts are made. It is not likely that
the President will take the six months, and
and he may Issue his proclamation inimedl-

There need be no doubt of the product
iveness of these lands. They have been
tried In every quarter with a result that has
produced 20 to 30 bushels of wheat, and 40
to W) bushels of corn per acre. These eropa
liave been raised by farmers living on In
dian lands. Tho valleys of tho washiti, of
Cache creek, llenver and other streams are
more or less cultivated every year, and al
ways give good returns. Tee uplands are
productive of all cereals, auclufford the fin
est grazing in the world.
The lands to be opened to white settle
ment, aster the Indian has taken Ids allot
ment, will give comes to nearly 10,000 fami
lies. The price of these lands will be 1.35
per acre, payable .'at the end of live year

ed, being a happy medium between the hot
climate of Texas and the wild climate ol
Kansas or Missouri The days are never ex
' cesdvely hot, nor the winter exesU'ey
cold. In summerddays the mercury seldom
goes above a hundred, while the nights are
Invariably cool. In winter the mercury,
seldom goes beliw zero, and then for only a
day or two. The reservation u;i. one line of

Vagner's famous art work, says the

The most Important part of n. AVntfr
ner opera, according to the composer
himself, is not the music, but the
drama, which, indeed, the beginner
should closely follow with the aid of

is usually sung jn (jerman words.
The intending XVaurnprite should
also begin with the master's most
popular works, "Tnnnhauser" and
JOhpngrin." Jfe then at once

A certain elderly gentleman suf-

fariably made suggi'stlons. "Was it
your purse, op spectacles, or check
book, sir?" And so on, til) he hit on
the right object,
One night, after the old gentleman
had retired, the bell rang for Thom
as, and on reaching the bedoom he
found his master rambling restlessly
about his room.
"Thomas, Thomas," he said, "I came
up here for Huinulhipr, and now I've
forgotten what:"
