with assistance On close exami-
nation by Dr J P Beeson it
Avas found that Dwight was not
seriously hurt but had received
a severe shock and some painful
bruises — Southwest City Republic
Settles Old Debs
It will be a pleasant surprize
for the representatives of the
creditors of a printer who went
bankrupt seventy-seven years
ago to receive a dividend from
his estate Even this record
however was surpassed in 1908
On December 19 of that year the
Dublin Gazette published a noti-
fication that “a considerable sum
of money belonging to the estate
of Robert Smith of Smock alley
Dublin who was adjudged bank-
rupt in 1767 has been recovered
from the dormant funds of the
court of chancery” Ultimately
Smith’s debts were paid in full
—112 years after he had filed his
" petition
Ex-district Clerk Missing
Harrie Blake who is now the
ex district clerk of Wagoner
county is a fugitive from justice
At a special meeting of the county
commissioners of Wagoner coun-
ty held Monday Blake was for-
mally removed from office and C
W - Bryant a deputy was ap-
pointed to fill - the vacancy
While this was going on Mr
Cahill the state examiner was in
consultation with County Attor-
ney Castle and later in the day
he swore to an information in the
county court charging Blake
with embezzing county funds in
the sum of $3000
Success With Peanuts
J An old draky farmer who lives
on a farm near Muskogee and in
addition to cultivating his own
small tract of land works for the
neighborhood says that any farm-
er who does not make a good liv-
ing in Muskogee county is
“wuthle-s” Last spring the
old darkey decided to plant pea-
nuts as an experiment He
- bought a gallon of peanuts pre-
pared his seed bed and carefully
planted and cultivated his crop
Last fall the old darkey harvest-
( ed seven bushels of peanuts from
that gallon of seed and sold his
- crop by the pint at five cents a
pint He paid 40 cents for the
gallon of peanuts that he planted
and he received $2240 for his
crop giving him a profit of $22 to
pay for his summer’s work on the
little patch which required very
little time This year the old
darkep has planted an acre in
peanuts
Elephant Troubles
- The past sorrows of the ele-
phant lie almost too deep for tears
if - Prof A S Woodward was
right in the account he gave at
'the Royal Institution of his evo-
lution Elephants were original-
ly little creatures whose legs
for unexplained reasons- grew
‘longer while their necks grew
shorter Consequently they be-
came unable to reach their food
— what wonders— their faces
grew longer also in similar cir-
cumstances any one of us would
have a face as long as a fiddle
But the disease provided the rem
edy The face became so long
that it touched the ground and
lo! the food was once again with
iu r—vh foy more The ele
phant gaining the power to move
his face about in all directions
doubled his sources of supply by
being able to reach the branches
of trees So from being the
most miserable of created beings
he became the most favored of
vegetarians — Pall Mall Gazette

dling by Nero ” while ' Rome

‘The high officials by virtue of
their authority and power though
brief being naturally regarded
by the laymen as posessing some
superior intelligence and fitness
by dereliction in office do incalcul-
able harm in that the example
so set may be followed by others
in lower official positions and in
turn by private citizens and like
Tennyson’s Brook The evil thus
started goes on until checked by

motion but briefly stating from
the Bench: as follows:- -
“The motion sets forth the sad

- Got Buncoed
One of the men living in ' the
city or vicinity of Welch who is
not ordinarily an “easy mark” for
anything fell for one of the old-
time bunco games recently at
Parsons and It took his breath
The “pull-down” amounted to
only $150 but it was as though
it had been for $150 He -was
waiting for his train to come
south when a pleasant stranger
approached and began tailring
and finding that our man from
Welch ' informed him that" he
too was coming to Welch and
had a car load of merchandise on
the track - Welch-bound which
would be opened up in ' that city
for business Just about train
time the “freight clerk” 'Came
running up with a bill for freight
on the car and refused to let the
car go on to Welch unless he got
his money The stranger show-
ed our Welch man a draft for
$1000 which he offered' for
enough to pay the freight bill so
the car could go on Our Welch
man immediately handed the
poor fellow $150" all he had
which the bunco man accepted
with the the remark that “every
little would help” and hiked
taking the $1000 draft and the
Welchite was too flurried and
surprized to “holler” for ' his
draft although he knew he was
“bricked” as soon as the man
was gone However he has stor-
ed the experience worth many
times that at some future time

Beats Suez Traffic
The process “of discovering
America is not yet finished A
French engineer who lately came
here to build a dry dock at Sault
Ste Marie was amazed to find that
the commerce which passes the
Sault is greater by 40 per cent
than that which goes through the
Suez Canal “Do even you Amer-
icans know” he asked ' “that on
the American side of the Sault
there is being constructed a lock
that will be bigger than the giant
locks of the Panama Canal?

rope our engineers shake their
heads and say 'Sault Ste Marie?

Corporation Convicted
’The first prosecution for viola-
tion of the Sherman anti-trust
law under the Democratic admin-
istration was brought in the fed-
eral court of the western district
of Oklahoma and resulted Tues-
day in a verdict for the govern-
mentt If was the case of the
Hunter Milling company of Wel-
lington Kansasand the ' Black-
well Mill and ' Elevator company
of Blackwell Okla and Frank
Foltz of the Blackwell Mill and
Elevator company charged with
conspiracy to restrain free trade
among the states The case was
the outgrowth of investigations
made by Daniel C Betzman
special agent of the department
of justice at Washington made
during the summer of 1911'' ’It
was charged that during 1910
the Hunter filling company
through a Blackwell agent en-
gaged in a price-cutting war with
the Blackwell Mill and Elevator
company- Testimony introduc-
ed showed that while the war
was at its zenith Frank Foltz
of the Blackwell mill made a trip
to Wellington and that immedi-
ately following this it was im-
possible for Blackwell merchants
to get any jf the Hunter com-

- Value Of Laughter
The immediate physical results
of indulgence in laughter are nu-
merous In the first place the act
of laughing involves the exercis-
es of a large number of muscles
including many of those of the
face neck chest and abdomen
which if they are exercised suf-
fiently often become correspond-
ingly well developed as -do also
all Other tissues in intimate con-
nection with them"“ But laughter
accomplishes much more than
this mere outward appearance of
well being It has a highly ben-
eficial ‘ influence on those two
vital organs the heart and lungs
During what is called a “fit” of
laughter the lungs may be al-
most completly emptied of their
contained air ' Fresh air is then
drawn in to the fullest extent of
their capacity inflating perhaps
those little-used air 'cells which
contained previously only stag-
nant air and “bacilli — for in the
shallow breathing we ordinarily
practice comparatively large
tracts of air cells are not used
It is a matter of every-day exper-
ience that one feela-tbe belter
for a good laugh an explosion of
laughter being in truthj a nerve
storm comparable in its effect to
a thunderstorm in nature (on a
very small scale) -doing good by
dissipating' ’those oppressive
clouds of care which sometimes
darken the mental horizon
- Adulterated Shoes
Americans with the possible
exception of the bare-foot boy
are today walking around on not
less than 12000000 pounds of
glucose and epsom salts which
constitute adulterants in sole
leather The assertion is made
by the department of agriculture
which has just concluded investi-
gations of the leather industry
and has issued a bulletin entitled
“the composition of some sole
leathers” The adulterants add
nothing to the wearing value of
the leather says the department
and in a large quantity may short-
en the life of the leather Sixty
three per cent of the leathers
examined were weighted with
glucose with epsom salts or with
both According to the" ‘findings
of ‘the - department’s experts
“the quantity of leading brands
varied from 1 to 73 per cent of
epsom salts with an average of 8
per cent ‘The loading” is done
to increase the remarkable weight
of the leather j j ‘
Editors Entertained
Bartlesville in gala attire wel
corned the 200 editors and their
wives who convened Friday in
the twenty-first annual session
of the Oklahoma Press associa-

held in the Chamber of Commerce
room at the city hall at 10 o’clock

band entertained ' the Viaitors
with a good program : Mayor
Lamm on behalf of Bartlesville

in which he took occasion to crit-
icise the newspapers for -working
for the election of politicians
who in turn- played to the gal-
leries by enacting legislation in-
imicable to the press Lamm
cited as an illustration the in-
stance Where the law specifies 75
cents to be the legal rate for pub-
lic printing i but officials invari-
ably force newspapers" into un-
necessary competition which in
some instances had lowered 'the

' How To Live Long -
Gay joy rides merrily flopping
corks alluring cabaret delights-
all will cease to trouble purity
workers and the ever present
fear of the approaching grim
reaper will be kicked into the
background if the people are
wise This from the lips of
Patrick Healey of Hayward Cal
aged 111 years: “Cut out the
wine women and song and you'll
live to be as old as I am” The
aged philosopher has no relatives
but a host of friends - He still
looks to be several years under
the ' 100 mark with bent back
seamed face and the appearance
of a patriarch Patrick states
that be saw light first in bid Ire-
land in 1802 was a young1 man
when Napoleon was humiliated
and remembers the time well
Healey has worked many years as
a laborer and worked his way to
California years ago Hals now

the weight of years' but passes

wise ones who will never take
