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

5.000. Oklahoma City has
in thirty-six months gained
12.000.
A salesman for the Sim

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

than five lots. Send me

through the enforcement of the
quarantine law of Arkansas be
tween August 1 and October 31,
1905, in preventing and suppress

MADE APOLLO COME DOWN
Didn’t Belong to the Union and the
Household Help Was ‘‘Sym
pathetic. ”
The cook had struck. The coach
man had struck. The nurse had struck.
The maid had struck. Everybody had
struck, relates the Chicago Record
Herald. With a sickening fear, the
great man heard a confused murmur
outside. It become louder, increasing
to a horrible din like unto that pro
duced by the Roman mob. He heard
his name shouted above the awful roar,
and, urged by his wife, he at last
ventured to a window.
“People,” he cried, “why have you
Struck? What do you want? I have
tried to deal fairly with you. What is
your grievance?”
The coachman, who was acting as
leader of the crowd, stepped forward,
saying:
We were ordered out Dy me neau
of the Teamsters’ union.”
“What has the • Teamsters* union
to do with me or the way my house
is run ?”
“You have a statue of Apollo in your
hall.”
'‘Yes. Tt is one of my choicest pos
sessions. It is a great work of art.
I am very proud of It"
“You must pull it down and have
it thrown out of your house before we
can return to work. We have our
orders from the president of the
Teamsters’ union.”
“This is preposterous. What has
my statue of Apollo to do with you
©r your duties? And where does the
Teamsters’ union come in?”
“It seems,” the coachman replied,
“that Apollo and Phoebus were the
■ame party, and It’s reported on good
authority that Phoebus used to be a
non-union driver. We’ve, got our or
ders. We can’t work for a man who
sets up a statue of Phoebus, the scab,
in the hall.”
Realizing the force of the argu
ment, the great man yielded. It was
the first time strikers had ever caught
him unprepared to go on with a new
set of hands. *;'r

RUIN THE PICTURES.
PEOPLE WHO “BUTT IN” WHEN
CAMERA IS WORKING.
Scenes Carefully Arranged by Mov
ing Picture Artista Are Dis
turbed and Rendered
Useless.
“Our work Is sometimes seriously
Interfered with by the buttinskis, and
then again there are times when their
slamming in helps us," said the man
ager of a moving picture concern, who
himself frames up the incidents and
supervises the taking of the plctnres.
“It is impossible to guard against the
folks with the butting-in habit, for
when they see anything unusual com
ing ofT on the street or hi any public
place their natural busybody instinct
takes bold of them, and they’re bound
to nudge up and take a hand la the
proceedings.
“Over In Trenton a few weeks ago
I fixed up a horsewhipping scene.
The first part of the set was easy
enough to get It was a scene in a
restaurant, in which a pretty girl,
seated at a table a little distance away
from another table at which a frolic
some man with a homely wife is din
ing, falls to making goo-goo eyes at
the man.
“The second scene, in which I ar
ranged to have the horsewhipping take
place, took place outside the restau
rant. We’d got police permission to
take the pictures, and I had two or
three men stationed in front of the
restaurant to Keep tire crowa DacK
while the phony horsewhipping was in
progress.
“When everything was all set and
the machine was snapping away at the
homely wife laying the lash across
the face and shoulders of the flirta
tious girl—the lash looked like rattan,
but It was a phony, and didn't hurt
at all—our troubles began.
"First a big vannigan of a man
slammed In and grabbed my homely
woman by her lash-wlelding arm, I
bawling that he didn’t believe In see
ing no woman stinging another wom
an like that, and that queered one set
of films. The machine had to be
3topped while the big buttinski was
being informed that the thing was
only a tableau, and that he didn't
belong to the picture.
“He took the gibes of the crowd sour
ly, at that, and looked to be in so
much of a mind to kick our gear to
pieces that I had to get a cop to walk
him down the street.
“When we got all set again and the
horsewhipping of the flirtatious girl
was once more going on a scrawny
hatchet-faced woman, who had just
joined the outer circle of the crowd,
and who wasn't up to what was com
ing off, rushed into the scene with a
shriek, grabbed my two acting women
by the hair, and started in to rough
house them both for their ‘indecency
In fighting on the street,’ as she yelled
at them. The machine had to be
stopped again.
“The incident as I had framed It
up didn't call for anything like that
I had It arranged that after the whip
ping had proceeded for a space the
guilty husband of the homely wife
was to rush In and attempt to sep
arate the two women, when Lts wife
was to turn on him with the lash, caus
ing him to skiddoo down the street.
The girl with the goo-goo eyes was to
seize the whip from the other wom
an’s hands and start In to get hunk
for the cutting she'd received, the
scene ending up that way.”
DETHRONING OF ALCOHOL.
Being Brought About by the Mod
ern Spirit of Scientific
Research.
—
Another potent factor in the dethron
ing of alcohol has been the spirit of
scientific research of recent years, says
an Open Letter, in Century. In the
great laboratories scientists have been
carefully studying the effects of alco
holic liquors upon the various organs
of the body, and, although they differ iu
their conclusions upon some points, the
result is that those physicians who have
most closely followed these investiga
tions have, almost or entirely, abjured
alcoholics as a necessary part of their
therapeutic outfit. These elaborate
studies of alcohol have convinced many
that the nourishing and strengthening
properties formerly ascribed to alcohol
ics existed only in the imagination, and
belong to the errors of an age which had
no facilities for accurate observation.
The food qualities of the grains and
fruits, it is now believed by many au
thorities, are destroyed in theprocessof
making alcoholic drinks. Even the i
stimulating qualities ascribed to alcohol
are denied by many, who class it among
the narcotics because of its depressant :
effect.
When Game Was Cheap in Kansas.

a pound, while wild turkeys could be
had for 75 cents each when tame tur
keys no larger sold for a dollar. Brant
or wild geese were hard to get rid of,
gs no one liked their meat. There
was little fishing, not nearly so good
'ass now, and the fl3h were nearly all
‘perch or cat. The fine herd of 200
head of deer in Uncle Joe Lewis’ deer
park came from a pair he caught in
the early days and penned up in a
pasture lot.—Anthony Republican.

Along the central part of the Congo

THE LAKE OF SACRIFICE.
Louisiana Body of Water Abottt
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 miles from the town of 3t. Mar
tlnvllle. The beauty of it# scenery
and its picturesque landscapes uav#
probably no equal In the state, says
the New Orleans States. Its water*
have the transparency of crystal, and
its depth averages from 90 to 100
foot
The word Ca-ta-ou-la means the lake
of sacrifice. The following legend, a#
dramatic and tragical as th* Biblical
narrative of the death of Jephthah'e
daughter, gives us the origin of that
name.
The Tetlmetchec Indians, being
threatened with dire calamity, the na
ture of which we know not, their
prayermen consulted their oracles, and
were informed that to propitiate th#
great Manitou and to avert the calami
ty a fair maiden of the tribe was to
be sacrificed to the cruel god and her
soul drowned ill the placid water* of
Lake Ca-ta-ou-la.
The beautiful At-ta-la, the fair
daughter of the chief, offered herself
as a willing victim to propitiate the
Great Spirit.
Dressed in all the finery and plo
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 aim iae siei u warriors oi wie
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 toward the heavenly mansion
of the great Manitou, she offered him
her 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 where
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 persons assert that
even to this day in times of great
calamity and misfortune, when the
moon spans the sky and shinee serene
in the high heavens, streaking with
silvery fringe the gentle ripple* of
the lake, a shadowy form Is 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 th*
shrieks with howls and lugubriou* boot
ings.
From that time Lake Ca-ta-ou-Ia be
came the sacred lake of the Indiana,
and every year they repaired to thl*
spot to propitiate the great Manitou
with their offerings and sacrifices. Into
its crystalline waters they plunged
themselves to get cleansed of their
moral and physical impurities; Into lto
sacred waters they dipped their amu
lets and arrows to avert approaching
calamities and to protect themselves
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
bim no good.
If while performing his immersion
iu the lake one should happen to
drown, his memory was execrated, and
his death was considered the Judg
ment of the great Manitou as an atone
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 worshipers,
is now a thing of the past.
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
bugs. What’s the result? The result
Is that the turkeys, from sunrise till
dark, tramp the tempting fields on long
forages, eating the worms and bugs,
which thin them, and walking;all their
soft and fine flesh into tough,’ stringy
muscle.
"A cold fall, with early frosts and
snows, freezes the ground and kill*
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 ia no
public demand.”
The Lawyer.
Now, guess who it is that takes aa
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 no{ 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.
But you would never guess it in the
world. It is the lawyer.—Kansas City
Times.
Not in That Case.
He—Do you believe that If one per
son gives another a pair of scissor*
it will cut their friendship?
She—Not if It’s a nice little pair of
silver scissors with my monogram *•.
