Hunch

To the property owners Of Guthrie;
Can you give o reason, logical, or
otherwise, why Guthrie with its many
railroads will not be within the short
space of two years city Of 25,000
inhabitants? Why it will not be the
retail and jobhing city of the south
west? Why 1t should not with its
excellent railroad facilities erect a
cotton mill? It's in as good cotton
belt as any of .he mill towns OF
Georgia ard bucket brigade"
would look awful good
Why the real estate opportunities
here don't offer better investments
than other cities OF like size on
earth? Why the railroads are all SO
curing terminals and acreage proper
ty here, without its meaning thai
there is going to be something do
ing" Why you don't during thia
calm before the storm" have Laus
make an abstract of your, property
so you can correct all haws at you
leisure? Many a good sale falls
through on account Of defects in titles
You experienced this during the little
furry OF a year ago.

Is the past" My hunch to you Is tha

CURIOUS SUITE IN CELLAR.
Not of Usual Variety but Planned en-
Quaint Dutch Pattern.

East Fortieth street, which has a
few of the most interesting house
fronts i'm New York, has also, perhaps,
the quaintest suite of apartments.
These rooms form part of an ordinary
house in brick row, and no passer-
by would suspect the existence of any
thing distinctive behind the noncom-
initial front with its business office
window and narrow doorway.
In the rear of the narrow hall hangs
wrought iron lantern just above the
door admitting to the cellar. The guest
who passes that door finds himself at
the head of a narrow, winding stair
way of plain boards, with quaint, slen
der, implanted handrail and rude
newell post at the bottom surmountet
by heather deity wrought in wood.
At the foot of the stairway is high
and rather small apartment, dimly lii
by day from the front area windows
in which are thick colored glass. over
head the rough oaken beams are ex
posed.
All about the walls is a multiplicity
of tiny closets with nail-studded doors
Nearly opposite the stairway is q
heavy, low arch with broad, low door
of antique pattern admitting to a little
wine vault. The floor Of the apartment
is sanded
The furniture is all of implanted
wood-settees, chairs, stools. All
about the walls are small pictures,
prints and oils, antique candlesticks,
mugs, cups, tankards of pewter, plat
tiers of the same material, old-fash.
toned weapons, and various curios.
A door beyond the stairway leads to
a smaller apartment furnished in like

serious consequences is lessened by
the division of the hull along the
water line into a series of independent
watertight compartments. The corn
pith briQuetteS, however. still further
lessen this danger, for as fast as the
hole admitted water, the water would
in turn expand the cornpith. which
would almost Immediately plug up"
the rent and prevent leaking until the
damage could be properly repaired
The comforts of the interior ar
rangements of this newest American
cruiser are partly in evidence even in
the cluttered condition just pre-
liminary to the final tying-up of odd
ends and putting everything in order
In fact the ship is at present good
deal like a new house in which it
seems as if there would never be
room for the furniture, and yet the
room is apparent enough when one
imagines it without workmen, tools,
benches, and other paraphernalia of
the construction period. In the ward
room, for example, the place that will
later be filled with big center table
is now occupied by an energetic saw
that cuts steel and makes much more
noise about it than even the pneu-
matte riveters do about their work.
And in the captains cabin and the
rooms that will belong to the officers
the process of putting in the spring
mattresses takes three times as much
space as the beds themselves will
eventually occupy. In the pantry one
sees the shelves just being completed.
and here and there the high polish of
brass or the pleasant odor of fresh
of the very final touches are being
put on.
But polished brass, fresh paint,
furniture, and other minor details of
housekeeping are finishing touches not
likely to be entirely completed until
after the builders trial, which will
take place some time during the next
few weeks. After the builders trial
which is practically identical with the
regular government trial, except that
it is conducted by the Four River
company as a final test before report
ing to the government that the vessel
is ready to prove what she can do for
Uncle Sam himself-there are always
a certain number of minor changes to
be made. The little Is per cent. that
remains between the present condi-
ton of the Des Moines and her final
perfection is largely matter of these
little details, and if war were de
clared tomorrow and the vessel need
ed in the fighting line not more than
a month would be required to put her
into commission.

A NURSERY IN THIBET.
Rock-a-by-Rabyism in the Forests of
This Little-knoWn Country.

=
Our first meeting with the Sifans
presented many ludicrous features. We
were plunging through the gloom of
the forest when our ears were assaulted
with a concourse of yells which
echoed through the supernatural ST.
lence with ghostly weiredness. In this
forbidding wilderness we had not
looked for signs of human habitation,
so hastily arranging ourselves in po-
sition, we prepared ourselves for what
seemed an inevitable hostile attack.
Long and anxiously we awaited the on
slaught of our supposed hidden assail-
ants, when again the reace-disturbing
sound echoed almost, it seemed, over
our very heads. CHANGING upward the
mystery was soon explained, for in the
lower branches of the tree we could
descry numerous small bundles, each
too large for an egry and too small
for a windfall.
Both my Kiangsi and Gharlkauese
escort, with their superstitious natures
reused by these ghostlike sounds,
visibly paled beneath their dusky
skins, and gazed furtively round in or
der to seek means Of escape from this
enchanted spot. Even l was not a
little puzzled and awed, until, peering
fact that the disturbing elements
which had caused US so much concern
arose from the fact that we had unwit-
tingly stumbled upon an aboriginal
nursery, and that the weird and ghost
like sounds emanated from several
hungry and lusty-lunged infants. Then
the solemn stiffness was broken by
our hearty laughter, the Sifans and
Charlkauese, as if to make amends for
their credulous fears, making the
woods ring with their forced outlaws.
The Sifan Thibetans, as we subse-
quently learned, place their children
in skin cradles and hang these from
the trees in the forests near to their
villages, for two reasons-the first,
from belief that they will be instruct
ed by the deities; the second, that
their full existence may not be en-
dangered by the abominable filth and
squalor of the settled regions. Several
times in the day they are visited by
their mothers, who provide them with
food and remain with them during the
night. and in this forest home the child
remains until it is two or three years
old, and has grown strong and healthy
enough TO stand the rigors of hard
ship and disease.-W. G. Jameson Reid
in Golfers.

series of glimpses into the mechanism
of the vessel.
Here and there, for example, an
opening in the flooring reveals the
protective deck of the cruiser rising
like the back of an enormous turtle
under the deck upon which he is
standing. This turtles back, covered
with thick steel plates, is intended to
protect the ship from an enemys shot
by turning to hostile missiles a curv-
ing surface from which they will
glance harmlessly, and is responsible
for the Des Moines' title of protected
cruiser" 1t separates the upper part
of the vessel from what is below the
water line, and thus shields the
boilers, engines, and dynamos that
are her heart and other vital organs.
Far below its surface is the spot
where, according to Kipling,
''The scaled stokers yelped delight,
AS they rolled in the waist and heard
the fight
Stamp Ger their steel-walled PEN"
One must abandon the steep stairways
and take TO sleeper ladders to reach
the realms of the Des Moines' future
stokers, place that seems the less
inviting when one realizes that the
new cruiser is being built largely fer
service in our new tropical pos
sessions.
Another interesting thing that the
visitor to the interior of the nearly
finished cruiser finds out is that
Iowa'S most peaceful industry, the
growing of corn, will play an i'm
portant part in the defence of the yes
sci that has been named in honor of
the corn states capital. This defence
has something of a Quaker character
and is worth risking involuntary
suicide from the various wires-about
half mile of them in all-that hang
from the dark ceilings waiting the
hour that shall finally connect them
with the dynamCs. The cornpith
, cellulose, to give the substance its full
descriptive title, comes from the fields
to Fore River in briquettes, and some
thing over 1900 pounds of it are
used. 1t has the peculiar property of
swelling to many times it's original
volume when soaked in water, and is
placed as a sort of lining between the
outer and inner "skin" of the hull.
| If a shot should penetrate the ships
plating under ordinary conditions it
would make, of course, a good sized
hole through which the water would
pour, an unpleasant occurrence de-
spite the fact that the danger. Of
