Ptomaine poisoning is not frequent,
but picnics are responsible for the
greater number OF cases.
During August the small boy, bare
footed, with three or four toes done up
in a sling, has every opportunity to be
afflicted with tetaAus or lockjaw. That
there are not=more cases of this dis
ease is something to wonder at, when
the chances the small boy takes are
considered. Tetanus bacteria is ly-
ing around loose and ready for action
during the summer months, and by all
laws of chance per cent of the
youngsters who discard shoes or stock
ing should be afflicted with them.
The youth wades through them up to
his knees, with cuts and sores ex-
posed, and very few are harmed.
Danger in Watermelon.
One of the most potent dangers the
small boy, and even the adult has to
contend with is the luscious water
melon. Watermelons have the facul-
ty OF tasting good on a hot day, even
when they are not ripe, and once the
eyes of the young are attracted by the
cool-looking red, collie or anything
else will not deter him from satisfying

Special to The Globe.
SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. Zone of
the most conspicuous cases of atavism
of the present day is that terror of the
Western country known as Harry
Tracy. Men of the Tracy type have
been considered as practically extinct
during recent years and writer's of
piquant narrative have been deploring
the disappearance of this picturesque
element from our frontier states.
The gentlemen who write stories
which lead ambitious Eastern boys to
dream of becoming Yosemite Bills and
DeadwOod Dicks have been anguish
ing of late and the dime novel business
has been at a standstill. Impetus
enough has been given by Tracy to
this class of literary product to guar
antee it another ten years of life and
the writer's of the historical and the
rural novels must look to their laurels.
Instead of resurrecting a lot of in
nocuOuS historical celebrities or elab-
Grating the idiosyncrasies of some
shallow rustic whose mOnotonous life
is nothing more heroic than that of the
cows or goats they tend we shall now
have living portraits of heroes of the
Winchester who can hold sheriffs
posses and baying bloodhounds at bay
with the same ease that a D'Artigan
could dispose of a dozen troublesome
swOrdsmen with one or two masterful
strokes.
Some two or three years ago Capt.
Mossman was commissioned to form
a corps of rangers and hunt the bad
men out of the mountains and other
hiding places in Arizona and New
Mexico. Doubtless he has not neglect
ed his opportunity, it being an occupa-
ton for which he and his troop of ex-
sheriffs felt peculiarly fitted.
Killing of Sam Bass.
Capt. Ware, who was the sheriff at
Fort Worth, Tex, in the latter part of
the seventies died the other day and
his death recalls the killing of Sam
Bss, whom he shot at Round Rock
when $4,000 was offered for the cap
ture of the noted outlaw, then the ter
ror of the Western states.
Bass, like Tracy, was little more than
a boy when he reached the end of his
rope, being only twenty seven when
Capt Wares fatal aim ended his dizzy
career.
Bass was, for a time, the terror of
railway managers. His methods We're
of about the same standard of daring
as those of Tracy and he was finally
captured owing to the wound from
Capt. Wares gun which compelled him
to take refuge in the woods where he
was found and captured, but mortally
wounded.
Bass was the hero of many big hold
ups, perhaps the greatest of which was
the great robbery of the Union Pacific
overland mail train at Big Springs,
Neb., in September, 1877, when $4,000
was captured by the robbers. This
money was all in twenty-dollar Cali
fornia minted, gold pieces, and the
principal trouble the robbers had was
to get away with such a load.
Ware was one of the nerviest officers
of the law Texas ever saw. When he
heard that Bass was in Round Rock
planning some new deviltry he rode
into town, and seeing Bass in the street

The ills that man is heir to during
the month of August are as a general
thing brought on by mans indiscrimi-
nate astronomical indulgences. Au-
guest on the whole is a healthy month
in most respects, but diseases of the
digestive tract are very common. Boil
ed down, most of the diseases found
during the month are due to dietary
causes.
The mortality among infants during
the month is high, although statistics
show that July is still more fatal to
children under one year Of age. For
children between the ages of one and
five years, August is the fatal month,
leading the list in the number Of
deaths.
Cholera morbus and cholera infan-
tum are the prevalent diseases during
this month, and although these are not
necessarily fatal, they cause much wor
ry and trouble in the household. Sum-
mer colds are another source of annoy
ance, and ptomaine poisoning is fire.

LAYTON, o. T., Aug. 2.-Lawton
was eleven months old last Sunday.
1t has a population of over 1000, and
is in some respects the most wonderful
city upon the face of the globe. The
toWnSite, as surveyed and plated by
the government, covered 800 acres,
which ran one mile east and west and
one-half a mile north and south. The
lots of the town of Lawton brought at
public sale last August, after all ex-
penSeS were deducted, the sum of $41O,-
600, which is held in trust by the gov
eminent for public improvements in
LaWtOn and Commanche county. There
is now great need for more ground on
which to build, the town having out
grown its original boundaries. School
land on the west, Indian land on the
east and government land on the north
shuts the citizens of Lawton out in
every direction but the south, where
are to be found the price claims" of
Mr.. Wood and Miss Beal, but these
are not yet open for townsite purposes.
The consequence is that Lawton is like
a fat, healthy child that is too large for
its clothes, and the sleeves of it's dress
are too short and the buttons are
bursting off. There are few vacant
lots to be seen.
Enterprise Is Not Lacking.
The business streets are compactly
filled with business houses of good ma
terial. At least fifteen or twenty are
of brick or stone, and all of them good
size, many of them large. Many Of the
private residences are Of beautiful de-
sign. The business activity displayed
is wonderful The streets are scenes
of hustle and life. The hotels and
boarding houses, of which there is a
large number, are crowded all the time.
The leading hotels are the Keegan, the
Addison and the Ingraham. Telephone
service was instituted wnen the town
was six weeks old. An electric light
plant turned on it's power for the first
time on the evening of July and the
streets are as beautifully Illuminated
as are those of the older cities and
towns. School houses and churches
furnish the opportunity for mental,
moral and spiritual Improvement. The
leading denominations are represented
as the Catholic, Episcopalian, Baptist,
Methodist, Presbyterian and Christian.
