what you paid. JustJ look
back at Enid, it gained 7,000

in the mean time, grown
6.000. Blackwell has, in

5.000. Oklahoma City has
in thirty-six months gained

NEW NORTH POLE HUNTER
‘Musher" Will Be There the FLr*1
When a Gold Stampede
Is Started.
There la a popular belief in the «*•
treme northwest that the north pole
will be discovered by a musher, and not
! by any scientific polar expedition, saya
| the Sunset Magazine. Thi9 belief i»
I aaaed on the conviction that a gold
stampede will eventually be started
toward north latitude 90 degrees, and
that the mushers will rush in where
arctic explorers have feared to tread.
3o completely unknown to fame la this
aewcomer in the race for the pole that
to the majority of people the name sug
gests nothing but cereal breakfast food.
Gilbert Parker, the novelist, whs
finds hia most congenial theme la
French-Candlan life, has made his read
ers familiar with “Marche-t’-en!” ths
>cry with which drivers of dog teams
urge forward their panting animals.
French-Canadian trappers were among
the earliest white men in the far north
west, and American prospectors on ths
Yukon soon learned to goad their dogs
cn with the same cry, without, however,
understanding the French, which, In
their mouths, was rapidly corrupted to
‘‘Muchoni” to this day an Alaska dog
i driver's equivalent for "Gee up!”
Dog drivers generally rush with t.hs
team and therefore from "Mush-on” has
; come the noun musher, used all over
Alaska and the Yukon territory to des
ignate a traiisman. The musher is gen
erally prospector, stampeder and tralls

RAVAGES OF THE SOUVENIR
What Was Once a Harmless Fad Has
Become Almost a Univer
sal Mania.
The vogue of the illustrated seuventt
postal card has assumed the dimensions
of a literary peril. What was once a
harmless fad confined to more or less ec
centric visitors in out-of-the-way places
has become all but a universal mania,
says the New York Post. The Boston
post office reports handling 25,000 of
these yellow imps in a single day. The
so-called comic valentine once tainted
the postman’s bag. Its influence, how
ever, lasted but for a day, while the sou
venir postal card ceaaeth not day nor
night to cry for a destroyer.
From the point of. view of growing
popularity these postal cards but evi
dence anew the danger with which
modern mechanism is continually en
compassing the other handicraft arts.
The printed book has driven out illus
trated mlssaP “The quarter-sawed oak"
of Kalamazoo has displaced Chippen
dale and Sheraton. And at last the Illus
trated postal, with cheap ready-made
sentiment and chromo lithograph
threatens the letter of friendship, travel
and description. The residuary field of
the epistolary art was long supposed to
be safe from the inroads of the printing
press. Political intelligence such as
fills Horace Walpole’s six stout vol
! umes of private letters has P>r over a
century been disseminated in the news
papers. Scientific news has long since
found similar media of publicity. But
the Intimate unbosoming of friend to
friend at a distance has held at bayy all
the devices of modern machinery unti'
the advent of this substitute for a reai
letter.
SPEAKING WITH EMPHASIS.
Calisthenics Accompany the Word*
of Neapolitans When Dis
cussing Weather.
“Give a Neapolitan a pair of dumb
bells and ask him if he thinks it is like
ly to rain, and before his answer is
finished he will have taken enough
healthful exercise to last him all day."
eler sat with a friend in a cafe at
Naples. Near them were two Italians
engaged in conversation. The younger
of the two seemed much excited.
With his hands he made reaching and
clinging motions, as if climbing. Then
be seemed to be groping for cherries in
the air, as he reached right and left
above his head. Next, without slacken
ing his conversation, he put the thumb
and forefinger of his left hand together,
and holding them befor» his eyes, went
through the careful movements of one
threading a small needle, and all the
j time he talked.
! Suddenly his manner changed. He
j made overhatmnotions, as if throwing
| something. Then he apparently Imitated
i a swimmer, and immediately afterward
described several circles with his left
hand, giving the impression of a rapid
ly revolving wheel. ;>
Finally he leaned forward, and with
his right hand acted the part .of a-per.
son endeavoring to put a key Into a key
hole.
The traveler was overcome by curios
ity. He turned to his friend, who un
derstood Italian, and asked him what
the plot of the story was. ' . .
“Oh. nothing,” replied the other.
"They’re chatting about the weather."

THE LAKE OF SACRIFICE.
Louisiana Body of Water About
Which There Is an Indian
Legend.
Lake Ca-ta-ou-la. the sacred lake of
the Indians, lies ensconced, as it were,
in the deep solitude of the forest
which skirts the Attakapas prairie on
the east side of the Teche at about
nine mile* from the town of St Mar
ttnville. The beauty of It* scenery
and Its picturesque landscape* have
probably no equal In th« eta?*, s*r»
the New Orleans States. Its water*
have the transparency of crystal, and
its depth averages from 90 to 100
feet
The werd Ca-ta-ou-la means the lake
of sacrifice. The following legend, as
dramatic and tragical as the Biblical
narrative of th* death of Jephthah*
daughter, givm us the origin of that
name.
The Tetlmetchec Indians, being
threatened with dire calamity, th* na
ture of which we know not their
prayermen consulted their oracles, and
were Informed that to propitiate the
great Manltou and to avert the calami
ty a fair maiden of the tribe was to
i be sacrificed to the cruel god and her
soul drowned in the placid water* of
Lake Ca-ta-ou-la.
The beautiful At-ta-!a. the fair
daughter of the chief, offered herself
as a willing victim to propitiate the
Great Spirit.
Dressed in all the finery and ple
turesqueness of apparel of an Indian
princess, she repaired to the lake in
whose waters she was to find a watery
grave, followed by the weeping maid
ens and the stern warriors of the
tribe
She glided In her light canoe on the
waters of the lake until she had
reached the middle of the stream, and
with her eyes upraised and hands ex
tended tow-ard the heavenly mansion
of the great Manltou, she offered him
bar youth and her life blood as a
sacrifice to propitiate him and to
avert, the calamity that threatened her
people.
With radiant smile she then turned
toward the shore of the lake whore
knelt the weeping maidens. She waved
her hand gently to them, bidding them
an eternal adieu, and plunged Into It*
waters, to be seen no more.
Supersltltous persona assert 'that
even to this day In times of great
calamity and misfortune, when the
moon spans the sky and shines serene
In the high heavens, streaking with
silvery fringe the gentle ripple* of
the lake, a shadowy form i* seen glid
ing on its waters in a light canoe, with
hands extended heavenward, and they
say that all at once, uttering a wild
and unearthly shriek, the shadowy
form plunges headlong into the water*
and disappears, while the terror-strick
en denizens of the forest answer the
shrieks with howls and lugubrious hoot
ings.
From that time Lake Ca-ta-ou-la be
came the sacred lake of the Indians,
and every year they repaired to thl*
spot to propitiate the great Manltou
with their offerings and sacrifices. Into
its crystalline waters they plunged
themselves to get cleansed of their
moral and physical impurities; Into ltc
sacred waters they dipped their amu
lets and arrows to avert approaching
calamities and to protect themselve*
against the devices of the evil spirit
He who could not make this yearly
pilgrimage felt despondent and un
happy, and his inability to follow the
others in the saintly journey boded
him no good.
If while performing his Immersion
in the lake one should happen to
drown, his memory was execrated, and
his death was considered the Judg
ment of the great Manltou as an atone- j
ment for the crimes committed by
him.
The lake is still called Ca-ta-ou-la,
the lake of sacrifice, but the great
Manitou, like his Indian w'orshipers,
is now a thing of the pa3t.
Frost Makes Fat Turkeys.
“Cold weather makes fat turkeys,
said the poulterer.
“Why?”
“Because in a warm fall the ground
keeps soft, the vegetation lingers on
and the fields are full of worms and I
bugs. What’s the result? The result 1
is that the turkeys, from sunrise till j
dark, tramp the tempting fields on long ,
forages, eating the worms ajid bugs.:
which thin them, and walking^ their
soft and fine flesh into tougjh. Atringy
muscle.
“A cold fall, with early frosts and
snows, freezes the ground and kills
the bugs. Then the turkeys are hot
tempted to wander. They loaf in the
farmyard, gorge an abundance of
grain, and put on flesh like a middle*
aged woman at a seashore hotel.
“But in a warm fall, hunting the Ir
resistible bug, the turkeys do their 15
or 20 miles regularly, and become ath
letes. ' For athletic turkeys there is no
public demited.”
The Lawyer.
Now, guess who it is that takes an
oath “whereby he invokes God’s help
•that he may do no falsehood nor con
sent to the doing of any in court; that
he may not wittingly or willingly pro
mote or sue any false, groundless or
unlawful suit, nor give aid or con
sent to the same; that he may delay
no man for lucre or malice, but that
he may conduct himself with all good
| fidelity.” -Guess who takes that oath.
I But you woufld never guess it in the j
world. It is the lawyer.—Kansas City ,
Times.
Not in That Case.
He—Do you believe that if one p«- !
son gives another a pair of sclssora
it will cut their friendship?
