The lots in the new town
of Kinta, I. T., are selling
faster than any new town
opened since the days of
Enid, Pond Creek, Ponca
and a few others.
Many people claim, who
really are in close touch with
the new town and surround
ings, that Kinta will be a
city of from 2,000 to 5,000
in two years or less.
What would that mean to
you should you own one of
these lots that are centrally
located, as all that I am of
. /• < . fering are?
It would mean probably
1,000% to you on the in
vestment. Kinta has fine
agricultural lands, great
coal, gas and oil deposits.
Why shouldn’t it be a great
place? If you have not
bought, do so now.

People and Stock Arc Killed by Sav
age Beasts in Mexican
Territory.
Tiger*, driven from their mount*!*
lairs In the territory of Topic by the
scarcity of food, continue to ravage the
haciendas of the valleys. They are be
coming such a general danger, aays the
Mexican Herald, that the municipal au
thorities have offered a reward of >10
for every tiger’s skin.
For the past several months great
numbers of the animals have swarmed
through the marshes of the lowlands
along the coast and in the valley* of
the territory of Tepic, having been
driven out of the states of Sinaloa and
Sonora by the floods and the extremely
cold weather. The damage caused to
the haeiendados and the danget In
curred by the preaanoe of the animals
was such that many of tl^em offered
rewards for the skins of ths animals
some time ago.
The tigers, however, seem to like tbs
warm weather and the good food that
they are getting in Tepic and instead of
decreasing their numbers have greatly
Increased within the last few weeks.
Now the municipal authorities of the
territory have also offered a reward for
the skins of the animals.
The tigr.rs have become so bold that
they will enter the houses on the plan
tations and help themselves to what
ever comas In their path. Several
deaths are reported In different parts
of the territory. In many sections of
the state it is necessary to have armed
guards stationed at night, to insure
the safety of the other people In the
settlement*,
Live stock 1b suffering more than
anything else. With the slight pro
visions that are necessary for the shel
ter of the stock, it leaves them In most
cases without any protection at all
from the beasts. Even the presence
of numerous guards around a bunch of
cattle is oftentimee insufficient to keep
the tigers from getting away with an
animal or two from along the edges
of the herd.
Hunting for the animals ha* been
greatly stimulated by the offers of the
...w ^ ouvico ui uuubero axe
scouring the country for them The
number of the skins that have been
turned in thus far is large and it. is
hoped that it will not be long before
the animals are driven back to the
seclusion of the mountains.
WAKING IN THE WILDERNESS
Bow to Get Out of Bed When th»
Thermometer Registers Forty
Below Zero.
Tou are awakened In the bitter dark
ness of the early morning by the
sound of the eamp dogs moving among
the frozen palls of refuse. You hear
their padding footsteps passing this
way and that outside of the tents and
the brushing of their bodies against
the canvas walls. Then you hear the
sound of chopping wood where some
one is at work in the starlight, says
the Boston Globe. One of the men
stirB and rises in the darkness The
tent is bitter cold, with everything
frozen as hard as iron. You hear the
man fumbling around in the darkness
for the matches, and presently h-*
strikes one and lights a candle.
Presently he begins chopping the
wood for the stove, and his big, round
shadow moves uncouthly and grc
tesquely about the walls as the flame
of the candle wavers in the draught
of cold air. He makes a fire, and in
a moment the flame is roaring up the
stovepipe, which gradually beoomes a
dull red with the gushing heat. He
stands with his back to the stove and
presently the other man rises and
joins him.
TheL. you yourself move reluctantlj
in your warm swaddling of furs, and
with some effort crawl out into the
bitter cold and joint the others around
the stove. None of you speak, but
each absorbs the scanty heat in
silence. By and by, warmed to soms
return of life, you pe«. out of the
tent; the sky is like bla>, c crystal, the
stars shining with incredible efful
gence. From the stovepipe of the
other t«nts rockets of flame are gush
ing up ito the air; showers of sparks
rise up into the night high overhead
—hover, waver, and then sink dwind
ling upon the tent and tho surround
ing snow. \
You look at the thermometer hang
ing against a tree and see by the lighl
of a match that it is 40 degrees below
zero. By this time the smell of cook
ing is filling the silent frozen spaces
of the darkness and you reenter the
tent to hug again the warmth of the
Stove, with a huge appetite for the
rude breakfast of melted grease and
giUettes.
Explosions on Old Battle-Fields.
The forests In the mountains known
as 1/ tdon Heights, opposite Harper’i
Ferr , took fire recently and burned
i wit) great intensity. After some time
a e ries of explosions w-ere sard
which startled the inhabitants, and the
concussion was so great that it broke
windows In some houses in Harper’s
Ferry, across the Shenandoah. The ex
plosions were caused by the bursting
of shells which had been thrown on
the heights at the time when Gen.
Mills surrendered to Stonewall Jack
eon in 1862. These had failed to ex
plode when they were fired, and had
remained there for more than 40 yeara.

VICTIMS IN TIMES OF PEACE
Said That Railways Kill and Maim
More Men Than the Blood
iest of Wars.
When the young men of the conn
try are called forth to war, they mare a
through the streets with flags flying
end bands playing inspiring music.
The people crowd th* streets and greet
them with applause. When news of a
battle is received, the entire nation
Is sad at the story of lives destroyed.
Those who thus die are hoaored for
their heroism, ami monuments are
erected to their memory, while those
who return maimed are pensioned.
Mot so, however, the army whic h goes
forth dally to do duty upon our rail
roads. One in every SO of them will
bo permanently disabled, and one In
every nine of the injured will be killed,
says Pearson’s Magazine. They pans
away, unknown and unhonored, sa.'fl
as to their families and friends.
A more vivid notion of the destruc
tiveness of railroads may be had by
considering the fact that in the great !
Crimean conflict, which tvas one of th«
bloodiest wars in history, the Brivtsb
lost less than half as many slain and
wounded as were killed and maimed
on the Iron roads In this country dur
ing last year. In any twelvemonth
about 80,000 persons are killed or In
jured on the railroads of the Unitad
States—a much greater number than
fell at the battle of Sedan, which
sealed the fate of the second empire of
France. Wellington won Waterloo,
and Meade Gettysburg, with losses ot
3,185 and 23,003 respectively, and the
total losses on both sides at Shiloh
In the two day3’ murderous fight did
not reach 24,000.
More railroad employes were killed
in the United States last year than
three times the number of union men
slain at the battles of Lookout Moun
tain, Missionary Ridge and Orchard
Knob combined. The number of in
jured among these workers in the
transportation business was greater
than that of the wounded and missing
at Shiloh Antiet.am and the First and
Second Bull Run combined. More
faithful toilers on the iron roads of
this country went down In sudden
death during the ‘welvemonth than
perished in the Ba'tle of the W’llder
ness.
Each year, one In every ten train
men in the United States (this term
including engineers, firemen conduc
tors and brakemen) is injured, and one i
in every 135 is killed. Two hundred
and fifty men are killed and 2,800 are
disabled in an average twelvemonth,
while coupling or uncoupling cars. In
the same length of time 95 persons ar-'
slain and 990 Injured, by being
knocked from cars by bridges and oth
er obstacles at the side of the track
On the other hand, only one passenge
is killed for every 1,880,000 carried
and one hurt for every 97,000. Th -
average passenger travels 2.946,27'
miles before he is injured, and he got
57.000,000 miles before he loses his
life.
FAMOUS FOR INDUSTRY. 1
Sobriety and Decency of Life a Mark
of the German Peasant of
To-Day,
The bauer (peasant farmer) hugs th ’
soil, and will waste none of it for
hedges. He cultivates his land in ob
long plots, each strip carrying one
crop—corn, rye, tobacco, beet, man
gold, turnip or what not, says a lei
ter in the London Spectator. He work
in summer from light to dark; ii
winter as it suits him. His fruit tree.,
are planted along the roads and tie I 1

the tiilaged acreage whereof his vi:
lage is the pivot.
He inherits the land as his father
inherited it before him. and each her it
able portion is supposed to furnish
sustenance for so many lives. He
swinks to keep clear of the money
lending shark, and here industrialism
helps. For if brothers and sisters
throng past ability of support from
! the land, they take work at the near
! est factory, infrequently several miles
i distant. That eases the ancestral lean
ness, and makes readjustment feas
ible. However the bauer may moil
week in, week out, his linen is spot
less and his clothes unsoiled on Sun
days. His wife would scorn hersell
were they otherwise. Somewhat un
couth, rough, bluff, shrew'd. stanch, the
military authorities wisely take heavy
toll of his sound lungs and muscular
limbs. They know a man when they
see one. And women do much of the
j actual farm work iu Germany as a
consequence.
What hard-working mothers, and
wives and daughters are the women
ot Germany! What splendid women!
What does not that great nation owe
to its women! Broad-bosomed, deep
chested, wide-backed, big-hipped, rare
ly beautiful, but, however plain, pleas
ant-faced, healthy creatures. No shirk
ing of maternity with them. And
their husbands’ comrades and sharers
of their troubles always, yet always
! if would seem, making Peter’s injunc
tion their absolute rule of conduct.
Inappropriate Ornaments,
i On taking their seats for the first
time on the bench at the newly erected
courthouse at Delmerhorst, Germany,
the judges were much perturbed to
find that the architect had ornament
ed the portico with the sculptured
head of a fox on one side and that ol
a sheep on the other.
