BOX AND FURNITURE FACTORY.
Hugo Men Would Establish $25, 900
Industry With $4,000 per Month
Pay Roll, In Durant.

Messrs. J. c. Van Sickle and ]. j.
Mcintyre of Hugo. chief owners of
a factory there that manufactures
varnishes, polishes. veneers, etc,
were here Friday in consultation
with the directors of the Chamber
of Commerce, looking to the estab-
lishment of $25,OOO factory in Du-
rant.
These gentlemen say that offers
have been made to them from DEN
ison. Texarkana and Fort Smith. but
that they prefer TO locate in Durant,
If conditions are anything like equal
to those offered at the other places.
They own the patent to what they
term a collapsible box, which may be
used for shipping goods from one
point to another, and then knocked
down and returned to the shipper,
for use over and over again. They
claim that 1t is the only patent ever
issued on real collapsible box and
that the sale of them will be immense
as it would mean a great economy to
shippers. They propose to manufac-
ture these boxes also a general line
of furniture, with the plant they may
establish here. They expect that Du-
rant will furnish free site for their
factory which will require ground
of about 100000 feet, and that mat
ter is in the hands of a committee
comprising r. e. Powers, H. L. Cox
and ]. B. Hickman, who took the
. gentlemen out and showed them o
pRsite Friday. After investigation, If the
4 Chamber of Commerce believes the
enterprise to be what it seems on the
surface to be, it is likely that that
body will furnish them a free site

around his waist and procured a fire
cracker, which he wanted to set off
He went to his grandmother and got
match, but failed to touch off his

flames. and in few moments had
been horribly burned about the neck
and breast from which wounds he
died six hours later, after horrible

until the little fellow had received
fatal burns.

but he bluffed it out
And how are the good people at
the Corners?" he asked. Il sold OFT
my entire stock at that place. hope
the medicines had a powerful and last
ing effect"
Yes, they had a powerful effect all
right" said Bill. IF the people just
last long enough"
Why, Is the medicine doing more
than promised it would?" asked the
professor. 81 like to see my guaran-
tees fulfilled
We'll, the whole blamed town will
turn into a circus if you don't head 1t
off," said Bill mournfully. IF the
people would just swap medicines. it
might do some good, but it is too
late for that. Everybody's got stuff
that is having the opposite effect from
that desired. You know old Squire
Thornton, who was so fat that he had
to guess where his feet were? Well
he's as thin as a razorback-nit. Why,
professor. he weighs a ton if he
weighs an ounce. Fat? Why that
fellow would get shot for hippo
potamus II he went in swimming. He
must have got some of your Anti
Lean for he is SO fat that he can't
lean up against anything. He can't
get near enough to it.
The professor produced bottle of
whose contents he was sure.
You give him this" he said, land
if that doesn't do him any good. you
tell him to take dose of Rough on
Rats. That will stop his growing all
right"
We'll, you'd better do something
for Skinny while you're about it,"
said Bill. you know he was SO thin
already that he was afraid to eat
dried apples for fear they would ex-
pand and explode him. He thought
he was going to get fat, but he is SO
thin now that he is afraid to go to
picnic or have any kind Of u swell
time He never was entirely Opaque,
but now he is positively translucent"
This will fix him all right" said
the professor, handing over a bottle
whose label had never been washed
off. Tell him that is what crapshoot-
ers use to put flesh on their bones"
Miss Simson-you remember her.
said Bill: 1.-The little woman with a

her cheek? Well, she got something
that made whiskers grow all over her
face, and she is mad as wet hen
about 1t. She shaves two or three
times a week. but that only makes 1t
worse She thought she was getting
something to remove superfiuous
hairs. She ought to have traded with
Daddy Smith He hadn't any hair to
spare and now you can't find a pin
feather on his head with a search
warrant. Then there was Jimmy
Burrill, who already had such stif
knees that he couldn't bend over to

now that he is thinking Of accepting
an engagement as an ossfied man.
Bill Haight, who wanted something for
his stomach got some of your light
ming hair grower, and now he has a
coat of fur all over his stomach"
The professor began to realize that
he hadn't got the right labels back on
his bottles and boxes. Then he let
Bill into his confidence.
The mistakes were rectified SO far
as possible.
But the professor didn't make his
promised monthly call at Simson's

till next month. And he got water.

DISCOVERIES OF THE PAST
First Language, Then Fire, Then tho
Bow and Arrow, Says Eng
Iish Scientist.

Prof. r. d. Carmichael, a noted Eng
lish scientist, discoursing on the ten
denotes Of modern discovery, refers to
the probable order of the epoch-mak-
ing discoveries of the past, starting
with language. The next important
step, he thinks, was the discovery OF
fire, which not only rendered cookery
possible but also enabled man to travel
away from the tropics to which he
must have been originally confined,
and the third he considers to have
been the bow and arrow, insuring
supply of flesh-food, which became in
creasingly important as man spread
into cooler climes.
Afterwards came pottery, the more
or less complete domestication of cat
tie and sheep. the dog and the horse,
the gradual introduction of husbandry
and tillage, the consequent fixing Of
abode, and the ideas of community and
nationality. The next great advance
seems to have been the smelling Of
after which there appears to have been
a period of quiescence. Then came the
medieval discoveries short time only
covering such great inventions as gun
powder, the mariners compass, paper
and the printing press.
Naturally. after this period of rapid
advance came the inevitable reaction,
and nothing Of equal importance fol-
lowed until the nineteenth century
brought the steam engine and ushered
in the epoch of modern invention,
which Is too crowded to discuss in de-
tail. There is a great contrast between
the tendency Of modern invention and
primitive discoveries, nearly all OF
which must have been made by acct
dent. Professor Carmichael consid-
ers the progress Of the last 90 years
greater than that of the previous 5000
years, and expects that Of the next so
years to be greater still, inasmuch as
we have not for long time past been
dependent upon accidental discoveries,
but upon the labors of an increasing
body of trained investigators, very lit
tie of whose work is likely to be lost
in the past, and whose equipment is so
rapidly Increasing in efficiency.
