Guiding the Indian Territory, has brought
into sight this season, in round figures.
$4,000 bales more while the other Gulf

lana. Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri,
and oklahoma. have marketed $4,000
bales less. The group OF Atlantic States,

Why CnnnibaIs Eat men.

Some grewsome information has
been collected by a member Of the
European medical fraternity in rela-
ton to tribes that eat men. A French
man figures that 90 per cent of all
cannibals eat the dead in order to
glorify them; 10 per cent eat great
warriors in order that they may in
herit their courage and eat dead chill
dren in order to renew their youth; 10
per cent partake of their near relatives
from religious motives, either in con-
nection with initiatory rites or to glori-
fy deities, and ) per cent feast in order
to avenge themselves upon their enc
mics. Those who devour human flesh
because of famine are reckoned as IS
per cent.
In short, deductirg all these there re-
mains only a portion of "a per cent
who partake of human flesh because
they prefer it to other means of ali
mentation.
In the heart of Africa man eating is
continued to this day. and to such an
extent that in certain villages ribs and
quarters of man meat can be bought.
1t is easier for the native there to kill
men when they desire flesh than to go
to the exertion of hunting game.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.

A Man of Nerve.

The most curious feature in the case
of miner imprisoned for nearly 20
hours in the Gaylord coal mine at
Plymouth, Pa. was his peacefully fall
ing asleep in his tomb as soon as he
realized that he was likely to be res
cued. 1t would be difficult to imagine a
more serene nervous system. There
were plenty of chances. too. that the
miners might not get the poor fellow
out alive. When finally he did emerge.
he behaved himself as n hero ought to
behave-quietiy. with less thought of
himself than of his distracted mother,
who at the moment was ut home pray
Ing for him.-COllier's Weekly.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1899-12-01

The following from the Mnsko-
gee Times furnishes D text for q
lecture to the people Of Ardmore
| on the subject OF enterprise and
public spirit, but the lecture will
be omitted for the present, because
| it would be vain and fruitless
brain-fag, and besides the ARD
MoREITE may not be the proper
medium for the transmission of
such lecture. The Times says:
Money enough was made up by
private subscription yesterday to
put in four stone street crossings
on the plans and specifications re-
quireG by the city council.
In Ardmore no plans or specif-
cations are required by the council
and. although it is more than
twice the size and perhaps twice as
wealthy as Muskogee, yet many of
our street crossings are impossible
for ladies, in bad weather. This
contrast presents the object lesson
strlkingly enough, but that it may
be still more glaring, the follow
ing, from another column of the
same paper is also given:
1t cost the people living on Lake
street $40 90 to have the lines sur
veyed from Sondheimer's corner to
the south line of the Catholic
church.
This was done yesterday and
Frank Barring raised the money.
The citizens living on both sides
of this street will now go to work
and grade it. paying for it through
private subscription.
Further comments unnecessary.
The deductions are obvious and
the conclusion irresistible.
