A DOWRY OF HERRING.
It was the 20th of January, 1705. The
French army had entered Amsterdam
and the soldiers wailed in groups in the
square where they had stacked their
guns to have their lodging aligned thorn.
Notttitbstanding the inclemency of
the weather the inhabitants had left their
houses to welcome thi3 liberating army.
Tiie g-eatest enthusiasm reigned in the
city,andi;n the evening every house was
illuminated.
Near the Admiralty, however, stood
oachoiiTse w hose dark and silent aspect
contrasted strangely with the brilliant
exterior of its neighbors. A narrow
Courtyard inclosed in a high wall, with a
porte cochere intervened between the
street aud the house, and ail the doors
and the blindt were now closely secured.
This was the house of Master Woerden.
Master Woerden was a Iutch meich-
ant, I.otirely taken up with his com
mercial aflairs, he was totally indi liferent
to the political events which so interest
ed his countrymen, besides which he too
thor-juhly understood domestic econo
my to wate can-ilcs after the prodigal
fashion of his neighbora.
At this niorueEt Master Woerden was
seated in a comf.irtable armchair in front
of a blazing lire. His fur bordered robe
was folded across his chest, and his wolf
skin cap as pressed dona upon his
brow whoso few scattered gray hairs
offered no protection from the sharp cur
rents of frosty air that found entrance at
every opening of the door.
On a table near hira stood a polished
brass laain, a large pitcher and a clay
pipe. In the chimney corner an old ser
vant, whose extreme emponpoint betray
ed her Flemish origin, occupied herself
with occasionally stirring and feeding
the f pen fire.
Presently the doorbell rang and the
servant rose quickly tj answer it. A
few moments later a young man entered,
who threw his cloak on the sofa and ap
proached the old man.
'Is it you, William?" exclaimed Mas
ter Woerden. "I had not expected you
so early! "
"I left Broek this moning," he repli
ed, with a respectful salutation, ''bat the
roads are so cumbered with soldiers and
fugitives that it has taken me ail day to
get here."
"Did you see Van K'.berg?''
The young man sat down by the fire
before answering this question.
"Yes, eirl" he said slowly. "Master
Van Elberg consents to the marriage, but
he refuses to give his daughter more than
4'XX) ducats as her d jwry."
"Ah 1" cried Master Woerden frowning
heavily, "then he may keep his daught
er and her dowry."
"But father, let me"
"Hold your tongue, William. At your
age one would sacrifice everything to
love, but let me tell you love fades away,
while money remains."
"But Master Van Elberg is one of the
richest men in Holland, and what he
will not give his daughter in hia lifetime
wiil surely come to her at his death.
"What then ? Am not I as rich as he ?
Listen to me, my son. Yoa will one day
succeed me in my business. Kemember
then these two axioms never give more
than you receive, and do nothing fur the
sole bent tit cf others. Theso are good
rules for marriage as well as for com
merce." "But"
"Let the matter rest my son. We will
not speak further of it now."
Wi.liam knew the self-willed obstina
cy of his father too well to reply, and sat
still in great sorrow and perplexity, w bile
the old man calmly smoked his pipe.
Again the doorbell rang, and the dogs
in the courtyard began to bark furious-
"Ah 1" said Master Woerden, "it must
be some stranger. Look out of the win
dow, William, and &ae who it is."
Th" young man aid so, saying in tones
of surprise :
"It is a mounted militiaman, father !''
Presently the o'.d servant brought in a
letter, which Master Woerden received
with an air of great disquietude; but on
tearing open the envelope with impatient
fingers his facts assumed its wonted ex
pression of serenity as he read the in
closure. "That is well! he said, as he handed
the letter to his son.
It was a requisition from the govern
ment for 400,000 herrings to be delivered
within a month for the use of the French
army.
"William 1" exclaimed the old man,
after a moment's reflection. "I have an
idea. Yoa shall marry Van Fiber's
daughter, and she shall have a good
dowry, too."
"Can it be possible ?'
Leave it to me. As the canals are all
closed by the ice, be ready with two
saddled horses at daylight to-morrow.
Ah, my son if yoa o&ly inherit your
father's genius !"
The next morning the rising sun saw
the two travelers on their way to Broek.
They arrived about midday, but were
obliged to leave their horses at an inn
outside the village, as neither horses nor
EST A Ttr.TRHED 1827.
carriages were permitted to enter its
streets. Broek enjoys in Holland an ex
traordinary reputatiou for neatness. The
streets are paved with polished stones in
different colors, which are arranged in
Mosaic design. In front of each houte is
a space, reserved for the use of its inhab
itants, which is inclosed by an iron rail,
with bright ornaments of bra-s and fur
nishtd with settees of carved wood. So
great is the mania for cleanliness that a
withered leaf cannot fail in 'one of those
elegant parquets without the family's
rushing out in the utmost haste to re
move it.
When Master Woerden and his son
arrived with suow laden shoes, many
covert glances of indignation followed
their progress towards Master Van El
berg's house; but as they wete at once
well known and highly respected, no
ojen remonstrance was made. O n reach
ing their destination, however, the ser
vant met them at the door with suppers
in hand that they might leave thtir
heavy shoes outside.
When the travelers entered the par!.r,
not only Master Van Elberg but his
charming daughter also received them
witli much cordiality.
Clotilda wore the custom of her coun
try. The short, full skitt, richly decorat
ed with embroidery, the velvet bodice
and the dainty cap with its border of lace,
the gold band across her dark hair, and
the heavy gold earrings thickly set with
jewels, made a picturesque garb that
daintily set off her fair, placid features.
"tiood morning, Master Woerden!.
cried Van Elberg, as he held out his hend
cheerily to his visitor. ' "You are wel
come. Hate the French scarel you
away from Amsterdam ?''
"They have not troubled me in the
least," replied Woerden. "You know
I care as little for the French as for the
Prince of Orange. Politics never interest
me. I come to propose a good .specula
tion." "That is well ! What is it ?" returned
Van Elberg.
"I have engaged to deliver lOO.OdO her
rings in a montn. Can you furnish them
to me in three weeks?''
"At what price? '
"Ten Ilorins a thousands."
"Ten florins? Yea! I will undertake
to supply them."
"Good !" returned Woerden, rubbing
his haads together contentedly, as the
dining-room door was now open, display
ing the plentiful breakfast which await
ed them.
After partaking liberally of the good
things before bitu, for the long ride bad
eharpened his appetite, Master Woerden
glanced significantly at the young girl,
who shyly turned her ryes away from
him as he U'gnn to dis-rasi the question
of the young folks'. n:atmge. Finding
his host firmly insisting on giving his
daughter only the dowry he had before
fixed, Master Woerden made but a fcigu
ed remoustrauoe to these terms, aad in
the eud conceded the disputed point. It
was then decided that the marriage
should take place in eight days.
As they returned to Amsterdam the
next day, William ventured to ask his
father why he had thm agreed to Master
Van Elberg's terms.
"My, son," replied Master Woerd,n
gravely, "do not disturb me about trifiea.
This coutract for herrings is a serious
matter and requires all my thoughts."
Once more in his ow n house, Maiter
Woerden shut himself up for hours in
bis own room, and when he at length
came forth he gave his small servant a
large package of letters to mail.
Three days later the old man, with hij
wrinkled face alight with triumph, whis
pered to his son :
""Ah, Wiiiiatc, I have your dowry all
ready for you."
On the appointed day for the wedding
Master Woerden and his son returned to
Broek. This time they were received
with great ceremony. The wide folding
doors that are only opened for cb listen
ings, weddings and funerals were drawn
apart and a large party of friends and
relatives were assembled. The masttr
of the house, however, came to meet
them at pale and troubled in counte
caucethat William feared lie hal some
bad news to make known. Master Woer
den did not share his son's alarm, for Le
knew only too surely the can.sjofbis
hoet'.- distress.
"What troubles you, dear friend?" he
said, with a hypocritical smile. "Yoa
look anxious and worried."
"Ah? I am cruelly erabf.rras?ed ! I
must speak with you at on:e."
"Can it ba this marri-.tge that displeas
es you? Do yoa wh-h to retract your
consent?"
' Oh, no !"
"Weil, then, let us go on with the cere
mony; when tuat is over and your
friends are amusing themselves we can
speak of other matters."
Master Van Flberg hesitated. He
would gladly have put all eUe aside till
his distressof mind was explained; bat
seeing also how much wiser it would be
to take the advice thus given him, he
gave the signal for the marriage to go on.
A few moments later the wedded pair
were kneeling at the altar to receive the
church's blessing on their union, and
immediately on the return of the party
to the house, Master Van Elberg hurried
hia gtv&t into his private room.
"My friend," he said anxiously, as
soon as he had closed the door, "I have
engaged to deliver -ICOO herrings to
y ju in fifteen days, and I have not yet
succeeded in getting a single one. They
are all sold."
"Of course they are !" cried Master
Woerden, with a bur it of Uuhtrr ; "I
have myself bought them !'
"Ah !" cried Van Elberg, after staring
a moment at his companion in utter
amazement. "What then do yoa ex
pect" "That you will fulfill your engagement.
Listen to me my friend. You will one
day leave your daughter a large fortune,
and I shall do as much for my son. That
is all very well for the future, but for to
day they are not on equal terms. I shall
give my son a share in my business, but
yon give your daughter only 4000 ducats.
I have not wished to disappoint our chil
dren's hopes, but I have planned to com
pel you to be more just ia your arrange
ments." While Master Woerden thus spoks his
companion was becoming more and more
bewildered.
"This is what I have done," continued
the merchant of Amsterdam ; "you have
engaged to sell me thesa herring? at ten
fli rius a thousand, but I already have
them. Y'ou can only retrieve your honor
by buying them from me, I will sell
them to you for fifty fl orins a thousands.
Thus, you will pay me lti.tKW florins, and
we are quits."
"It is well," replied Van Elberg, who
bad now regained control of hi3 scattered
wits. "You area skilful merchant and
have caught me finely. "
He bowed ceremoniously to his com
panion, turned to his desk and drew up a
check for the required sum, whiih he
htndcd to Master Woerden with another
bow.
The two fathers then returned to the
parlor to take part in the wedding festiv
ities. Eight days later the merchant of Broek
came ttisit bis daughter, who now liv
ed with her husband at Amsterdam. He
found Master Woerden in j-reat tribula
tion. "Ah, friend Van Elberg!" be cried in
despair, "what shall I do? The timber
men are bringing in my herrings, and I
cannot find a single cak to pack them in.
Tiiey will all le spoiled."
"Ah, ' relurne 1 Van Elberg, coldly.
"You bought np a'.l the hr-rring aud I
have bought ali the casks. I could sell
them to you at an exhorbitant price, but
as I wish to keep my word about giving
my daughter her dowry of luOO ducats, I
w ill only charge you the amount you
skilfully made out of me in the other mat
ter. You are vtry cunnirg, vou merch
ants of Amsterdam, but w e of Brock have
positive genius, you see."
"But you got the i lea from me!".re-

HOW TO GET THE I AND.
In order to get the land the boomer or
boouieress must tile aa affidavit at the
Land O.li.-e to the effect that he or she is
a citizen of the I'nited States or has de
clared intention to become such, and
th.-.t he or she does not own lo ) acres of
land in any othw Mate or Territory.
This process may be gone through with
either before or after settling. It is safe
to say that nearly every boomer has gone
through with it before, f r which pur
pose L. 2. C. Lamar and L. D. Pae and
six Interior Department clelks st up
booths iat Saturday j ist caUide cf Hen
nery, Oklahoma Territory. Tills di-ne,
the boomers are ready for the grand
rush. Each can select his 10 aires cf
land, lis must, then live fireyears upon
it and tt.en pay the s iveratneut jd Ot',
" 1.2"), fl.o) or ;J tci an ace, with 4 per
rent, inl -res, according to its ! cation, as
indicated on the accompany :i:g nap.
Hundreds of the boomers are of course
speculators, who will sell their claims af
ter they have perfected then.
The last of the public domain is boun
ded on the north by Kansas, on the east
by the remainder if the Indian Ttrri!i
ry, out tif which it is carved ; on the south
by the iufaut Territory of Oklahoma,
and on the wett by the portion of tha
Ir.diaa Territory known as No Man's
Lin 1. Its political structure at the pres
ent consists simply of seven counties,
named temporarily K, L, M, N, O, P and
Etch has ll.O acres of laad reserved
for the site if i county seat. The rival
railroads will take a hand in the eariy
creailcn of a Territorial capital out of
one of these sections.

A Certa'n Cure for Insomnla.
" I once was a sufferer from insomnia,"
said a dentist who l.ves in oue of the
small villages of the state, as he sat talk
ing with other men io the sitting room
of an np town hotel, "but I got rid of the
trouble."
" What did you tak? for it ?"
" Bucking pony."
" Tell us about that, please."
" Well, you see there was notbintr the
matter wi'h me only I couldn't sleep.
The dsKtor looked me over and said I
wasn't suffering from any disease that he
could detect, but all the same I could get
only a few rat-naps every night, and I
feit that I would go cray if such a con
dition of affairs continued mu h longer.
A w isa friend of mine advised me to try
horsehii.k exerciso. Just at that time a
man lal brought to the village a string
of jxmies from the west. As the ponies
werr wild they were offered cheap. I
bought or.e. He was such a sleepy look
ing animal that wd called him Kip Van
Winkle. After we knew him better we
dropped part cf th name and called him
plain Kip. The first ride I toot on him
furnished excitement fjr the whole vil
lage. Two men helped me to sa Idle and
mount him iu the stable. When the
door was opened he shot out into the
street like a streak of lightning.
" He ran full against the fence opposite
the stable an I broke several pickets.
Then he reared up on his hind legs and
cime near throwing me over backward.
Next he tried to stand on his hea l, but I
yanked Lira back to his feet aud drove
the spurs into him. !! started to run
then, an I ! let hita go as fast as lie could
leg it until we g-t to the Methodist
Chnrch at t!i0 end of thestreet. A teni-peraTu-e
meeting was being held in the
church and the door was open.
I co"M stop the pony we were
chart h and half way up the aisle
lit fire
in the
Worn-
en fcrvamed and feinted.
"Some of the men led Pip back into
tbt strett. I didn't dare to get eff bis
h.t -k. When t!icieu let go of the bri
dle he began to buck, and for a few min
utes I thoitcht my neck would be broken,
lie wonl.i j:o at a gallop when be went
at all. 1 at he would stop now and then
t indulge itrsonie bucking. Presently
he cha.ved his tactics and went from one
street to another, across lots, jumping
t'-tices, titrning up llower beds, damaging
otrdens and keeping me busy d'dit'-ng
the branches of fruit trees. The next
street lei to a turnpike, along which I
spurred him lor miles until he was cov
ered wiv'.i foam aad neatly tired oat.
" He seemed to be docile w hen I got
him back to the stab'e. Next day, bow
ever, he was nearly as bad as when I
first role hi a. an 1 every day f r a fort
night I was oblige; I to race hhn along
the turnpike several miles. My ! my !
llo be did b t :k ! Iwass)!a:ii3 at the
end of tvo weeks that 1 couid scarcely
walk to my oili ce, but I could sleep. A
few minutes after I got into bed at night
! was sleeping souadly, aad I awoke ev
ery nioraiag thoroughly refreshed."
" Do yoa st.li ri le the pony .'''
" No by the time I was cured of sleep
lessness I had broken Eip to ride, and I
sold bitu for d.ju'uiethe sum I bad paid
for him. My advice to anybody who is
suffering front insomnia is io get a but k
ing pony and ride as fast as be caa. If
no necks are broken, both man and pony
will be benefitted by the treatment."
