Colonel Harry IlntehkinH In a modcut
man.
Hut by dint ot a Kooddenl of pernever
iwico'ii repreRcntntlvo of Tim CmmtKit
succeeded thejnthcr day in nvercoiulii";
hlfl natural dirtldeuco to mich an extent
that ho related his recent experiences in
Oklahoma Territory with perfect free
doiu. The. colonel it) an energetic man.
Where he Ih thlna are ahvajH Htire to
happen, and when there Ih any excite
ment koIdk on ho Ih generally' about an
near the middle of it an ho can got.
On the Friday before tho opening of
the Cherokee strip Colonel Hotchlrfiw
Hot the whcclH in bin head in motion and
ho determined to go down and we the
fun.
Ho arrived on tho hcodo at about 10
a. m. Tho rush wiib to begin at 1-.
There wero (500 people in lino waiting to
.eglttter on the outnlde of the ntrlp, and
ho immediately paw that if ho waited
for IiIh turn ho wouldn't be in it at all.
Ho didn't wait. TIiIh Ih how he worked
it:
"There were two of iih. Leaving the
other fellow hanging nlxnit the tall end
of the lino I Htarted for the head of the
proceKfllon. I got by the Holdiera by
keeping clone to tho line and Hcanning
every face, conveying the impression
that I wiih looking for Homebody. Pretty
HiMHi 1 reached tho building where they
were making out the papers. 1 immedi
ately not to work helping tho men tran
Hcribo. My nHHiHtanco wuh thankfully
received, and it wuh no time at all until
1 had my own papers all made out.
Then 1 tilled out my partncr'H and Kent
a Holdier to bring him up on the plea
that he had dropped out of bin place and
couldn't get in again. The hcIiciuo
worked.
"Then we Htarted for the train I
found out that the people who were
waiting to make the runh had formed
companion, and that to have any hIiow
you had to belong to one of them. They
were all full. We couldn't got in. An
idea seized me. They were crowding
and, aHHiiming an otllcial air, 1 com
mnnded them to fall back and keep the
track clear. Tho hcIioiiio worked. Then
1 ordered my partner to look after ono
of tho platforuiH, and we got aboard
among the very lirst.
"You ought to have Heen the 'niHh.'
Tho train went along at the rate of 12
miloH an hour. Ah far iih the eye could
reach tho country wiib covered. It wuh
a vaat army on tho rampage. There
wero men and women on foot, and
mounted in wagoiiH and every Hort of
vehicle, everybody tearing along like
mad. Tho duet wiib terrible.
"Wo stopped tirst at Hound Pond.
There wiib a pretty girl on tho train who
walked w'ith crutcheH. I looked nftor
hor a little and helped her get ikishcs
bIoii of a lot. She held her ground, and
owing to her crutcheB wiib unmolcHted.
In twenty-four hours, when people's
rightfl began to bo respected, I noticed
that bIio threw tho crutches away.
Smooth Bcheme.
"I wiib holding a lot and wiib unpro
vided with arms. A big, ugly chap
came along and told me to get out, Hay
ing that the lot wiib his and that he in
tended to havo possession. I worked a
. blutr. I told him to go and get a spade.
" 'What for?1
" 'To dig a hole with,' I said. "Tho
only way you can got possession of this
lot is to occupy it as a grave aftor I get
through with you.
"Tho fellow withdrew after some par
leying. "I biiw that Enid was tho place to go
to, and I went. Thoro I saw Georgo
Hawley, ot Lincoln, and ho was making
more money than anybody. Ho had 200
yards of muslin- -nobody else had any.
Ho sold it for 3T a yard for signs. I
thought I might make some money
transcribing claim papers, but there
wero too many at it. I quit. A follow
came up and asked me if I knew of any
body who bought railroad tickotB. I
had an inspiration and told him I was in
the business myself to como over to
tho tent in half an hour. I wont back,
and Hawley and I rigged up a big sign:
CUT RATES-KAILHOAD TICKETS
HOUGIIT AND SOLD--well, 1 niado
SUM in a few dnyB in the ticket busi
ness.
"I bought and sold everything. Ono
day a follow came along and otfored his
team of mules and a wagon for sale. I
bought tho outfit for 9110, and hitched
tho team in front of the tent. In Ichh
than two hours afterwards, before I had
even ted the animals, I sold tho nutllt
Tor 8150.
"We got possession of some lots. I
built a $2T house on one of them and a
i'20 house on tho other, They aro rent
ing now for $.'15 a month each, The lots
me worth 800 or 81,000. I was in tho
Htrip two weeks and came away with
100 more money than I took with me
when I I'.'ft home, and besides thohouses
and lots I havo three other vacant lots
at Enid that I can probably hold. Some
people made barrels of money. Rome
didn't make any."
Col unci Hotchkiss states that ox-Con-gresKuian
Laws has opened a land ollleo
at Enid, and at last reports was doing a
"land oftlco business."
And W. L. Cuuditr, tho precimiH scamp
who aided tho election of Congressman
Hryan a year ago by bunkoing Jerome
Shamp he'Hgot bin reward. It seems
that tlio government ban trustees In the
different land districts In tho territory
to make transfers. Cundlff Ib ono of
theso trustees, and he getB 85 a day.
"The most money waH nutdo by tho
gang of fellows from Kingfisher who had
been through It before and knew how to
work the game," said Colonel Hotchkiss.
"Thoy had things all arranged before
they got to Enid. They formed a city
government, elected a mayor and so on,
and then proceeded to take In the
money, charging fees galore for every
conceivable thing. There were about
0,000 people waiting to make their en
tries. Numbered cards were Issued at
10 cents a piece. Then lots ot low num
bers were hold back, which wero dis
posed of at prices ranging from 825 to
8200.
"One scheme was like this: A man
who was waiting to prove up would be
approached and told that for a very
moderate fee a memorandum of his
number, name and claim would bo taken
and that ho would bo notified when to
appear. Ho would In due time receive
notification only to find that his lot or
piece of laud had been duly made over
to some one else bearing Ills name.
Then he would bo steered to a 'lawyer'
In the deal who would extract a fee and
promise to see the other fellow and try
and olTcet a compromise. He would see
the 'other fellow' and then inform his
client that he''other fellow' would re
limiuish 'his rights and turn over the
papers already made out In his own
name for, say 82(H), and usually tho
money was paid. No end of money wiih
taken in by Illegitimate deals of this
character."

Don't say or write Austro-Hungary.
Thobest writers prefer Austria-Hungary.
Don't call tho Chinese "Mongolians."
It is hotter to reserve tho latter name for
the peoplo who llvo north of China
proper.
Don't speak of a uativo of China as a
Chinaman. You would not say that you
had an Ireland man digging in your
garden. It is better to call John a
Chinese.
Don't say. that New York is located on
Manhattan Island.
Don't speak of China as our
antipodes. Our antipodes is the point
on tho other side of the world reached
by a straight line passing through the
place in which we stand and the center
of tho earth. Our antipodes is in the
ocean southwest of Australia.
Don't forget that Oriental names
ending in "an" havo the accent almost
invariably on tho last syllable, as
Teheran, Heloochistan.
Don't say that tho compass points to
tho north, for it doea not except in
certain places. Tho compass points to
magnetic north, which is at present
considerably west of tho north pole.

Franklin Hay the declination of his

pole hi a direction nearly southwent.
When you aro writing a novel Don't
get your geographical facts hi badly
mixed as to rellect discredit upon early
training. In one of the popular novels
of the day the Azotes are referred to as
in a southern latitude. The writer also
introduces his hero into the Antarctic
legions in January and speaks
of tho "Inky blackness" of the
nights he experienced there. Of course
anybody ought to know that the month
of January Is tho height of the Ant
arctic summer, and the entire mouth is
ono continuouBduy.
