Now is your chance to buy
a lot in the great town of
KINTA, I. T., the home of
the Governor of the Choc
| taw Nation and the selected
1 county seat of Sans Bois
I county. Get in on the
ground floor and buy now;
lots are selling at $45.00 on
the payment plan.
I believe, at the opening,
if , you desire, you can sell
your lots for five times
what you paid. Just* look
, back at Enid, it gained 7,000
in three years. El Reno has,
in the mean time, grown
6.000. Blackwell has, in
the same time, gained about
5.000. Oklahoma City has
in thirty-six months gained
12.000.
A salesman for the Sim
mons Hardware Co., was
offered four lots at Tulsa,
I. T., two years ago for ,
$275.00; these same lots sold
a short time ago for $10,000.
I candidly believe Kinta
will equal, if not excel, any
of these above mentioned.

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 coun
try are called forth to war, they marcn
through the streets with flags flying
end bands playing inspiring music.
The people crowd the 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 honored for
their heroism, and monuments are
erected to their memory, while those
wlyo return maimed are pensioned.
Not so. however, the army which goes
forth daily to do duty upon our rail
roads. One in every 80 of them will
be permanently disabled, and one In
every nine of the injured will he killed,
says Pearson’s Magasin®. They pass
away, unknown and unhonored, sav®
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 was one of the
bloodiest wars in history, the British
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 00,000 persons are killed or in
jured on the railroads of the United
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, w'ir.h losses ot
3,185 and 23,003 respectively, and the
tntfll nn Knt-Vi aMoa of QVillnh
In the two days’ 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 Moi«
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. Antietam 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 twelvemonth than
perished in the Battle of the Wilder
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
te every 135 is killed. Two hundred
and fifty men are killed and 2,800 are
disabled in an average twelvemonth,
while coupling or uncouplirfg cars. In>‘
the same length of time 95 persons are I
slain and 990 injured, by being
knocked from cars by bridges and otb,-1
er obstacles at the side of the track.
On the other hand, only one passenger
Is killed for every 1,880,000 carried,
and one hurt for every 97,000. The
average passenger travels 2.946,272
miles before he is injured, and he goes
57.000,000 miles before he loses his
life.
FAMOUS FOR INDUSTRY.
Sobriety and Decency of Life a Mark
of the German Peasant of
To-Day.
The bauer (peasant farmer) hugs the
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 let
ter in the London Spectator. He works
in summer from light to dark; in
winter as it suits him. His fruit tree.i
are planted along the roads and field
paths which run through and separate
the tillaged acreage whereof his vil- j
lage is the pivot.
He inherits the land as his father
inherited it before him. and each herit
able portion is supposed to turuish'
sustenance for so many lives. He
swinks to keep clear of the money
lending snarK. ana nere industrialism ,
helps. For if brothers and sisters | ■
throng past ability of support froin ■
the land, they take work at the near- 1
est factory, infrequently several miles 1
distant. That eases the ancestral lean- •
ness, and makes readjustment feas- 1
ible. However the bauer may moil . 1
week in, week out, his linen is spot- ;
less and his clothes unsoiled on Sun- 1 1
days. His wife would scorn herself ' 1
were they otherwise. Somewhat un- 1
couth, rough, bluff, shrewd, stanch, the j ■>
military authorities wisely take heavy j 1
tolliof his sound lungs and muscular ! 1
limbs. They know a man when they
see one. And women do •much of .the j *
actual farm work in Germany as a j
consequence.

NEW NORTH POLE HUNTER
‘Musher” Will Be There the First
When a Gold Stampede
Is Started.
There is a popular belief in the ex
treme northwest that the north pole
will be discovered by a musher. and not
by any scientific polar expedition, say*
'he Sunset Magazine. This belief is
based on the conviction that a gold
stampede will eventually be started
toward north latitude 90 degrees, and
rhat the mushers will rush In where
arctic explorers have feared to tread.
So completely unknown to fame is this
newcomer 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, who
finds his most congenial theme la
French-Candian life, has made his read
ers familiar writh "Marche-t’-en!” the
cry with which drivers of dog team*
urge forward their panting animals.
French-Canadian trappers were among
the earliest white men in the far north
west, and American prospectors on the
Yukon soon learned to goad their dogs
on with the same cry, without, however,
jnderstanding the French, which, In
their mouths, was rapidly corrupted ta
“Muchon!” to this day an Alaska dog
driver’s equivalent for “Gee up!”
Dog drivers generally rush with the
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 traiis
man all rolled into one. and Alaska trail*
are such uncertain quantities that he
bas frequently to make his own prece
Jents over newly frozen sea and track
less snow. The musher achieves most
ef his stampeding to new gold fields dur
ing the arctic winter, for then the rigid
eea becomes a highw'ay and mighty
rivers need no bridging.
RAVAGES OF THE SOUVENIR
_
What Was Once a Harmless Fad Ha*
Become Almost a Univer
sal Mania.
—
The vogue of the illustrated souvenir
postal card has assumed the dimensions ■
of a literary peril. What was once *
harmless fad confined to more or less ec
centric visitors in out-of-the-way places |
las become all but a universal mania, j
says the New York Post. The Boston |
post office reports handling 25,000 of ;
these yellow imps in a single day. The j
so-called comic valentine once tainted ;
the postman’s bag. Its influence, how- j
sver, lasted hut for a day, while the sou- ;
venir postal card ceaseth not day nor
night to cry for a destroyer.
From the point of view of growing
ropularity these postal cards but evi*;
ience anew the danger with which
nodern mechanism is continually en-.
ompassing the other handicraft arts, j
The printed hook has driven out illus- '■
crated missal. “The quarter-sawed oak”
)f Kalamazoo has displaced Chippen
dale and Sheraton. And at last the illus
rated postal, with cheap ready-made
sentiment and chromo lithograph
hreatens the letter of friendship, travel j
end description. The residuary field of
he epistolary art was long supposed to
re safe from the inroads of the printing '
mess. Polilical intelligence such as
Ills Horace, Walpole's six stout vol-!
imes of private letters has for over a
?entury been disseminated in the news
>apers. Scientific news has long since
ound similar media of publicity. But
he intimate unbosoming of friend to'
riend at a distance has held at bayy all!
he devices of modern machinery unti''
he advent of this substitute for a real
etter.
SPEAKING WITH EMPHASIS.

“Give a Neapolitan a pair of dumb

lealthful exercise to last him all day.’’ i
)nce, says the Loudon Clarion, a trav
:ier sat with a friend in a cafe at
Naples. Near them were two Italians
)3gaged in .conversation. The younger
>f the two seemed'much excited.
With his hands he made reaching and
dinging motions, as if climbing. Then
le seemed to be groping for cherries in
he air, as he reached right and ' left
ibove his head. Next, without skvcken
ng his conversation, he put the thumb
ind forefinger of his left hand together,
md holding them befprj his eyes, went
hrough the careful movements of one
threading a small' needle, and all the
;ime he talked.
Suddenly his manner changed. He
nade overhand motions, as if throwing
something. Then he apparently Imitated
i swimmer; and immediately afterward
lescribed several' circles jvi'th his left
land, giving the impression of a rapid
