THE MAN WHO WON
THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1906.
PA4E THREE.
RAILWAY
A*
(With ApolofiM to George Ade.)
Once upon a Time there was a Goto*
bo who wal well Developed to Work,
so he made up his mind lie would be-
come a candidate. Work had been Ob-
noxious to iiim from the Time he first
Saw it explained on the Blackboard in
grade A, and all through Life his main
worry had Been that some day he
Would bump into It without Knowing
It. He was a constant And devoted
reader of the Weekly Clarion And Howl-
er and frequently contributed Pieces to
the Page where the labor News was
run.
He was wise to Laborlsm nil right,
and whenever labor became unsettled he
would write an Open Letter and tell
them Just how to fix Things up. He
always thought of the Job of Walking
Delegate with Something on the Side for
candy, but Somehow the Mutt holding
the Job didn't have Sense enough to
Quit.
After waiting Ten long atid Weary
Years for the Job He finally gave Up
and decided that the only Thing left
was a public office. So he Got a Big
stick and went out among the peoplo
and told Them he was Ready coin when
It came to Representing them, and that
Everybody up in the North end was
crazy to have him run for office.
Afterwnrd he would go over on The
North aide and hand out the Same line
of Conn. He used to Use a glove
stretcher to Stretch his mouth When
lie got up mornings so the Smile would
last all day. He was a prime favorite
tip In the Hun district near where They
were filling In. He used to get A
clean shave and reverse his cuffs in
the Morning and sally up There with
a Line of Bunk that shriveled Ills con-
science to a wisp.
He knew them all from A to Izzard.
and called Everybody Jim because he
said Their real name Reminded "him of a
Football rush. After being introduced
to Rebullskizzxvljli Hanklljjxvzolkl. he
would brush nn imaginary speck from
the Victim's collar and say "Jim, what'U
you take?" Then he'd turn around to
The Man with the White apron and
order suds for the Lot.
Sometimes when his stomach was in
good order and the gang was looking
he would stop on th street and kiss
some sweet little girl with Two braids
Whose Folks lived back in the Alley
Hear the Livery Stable. This showed
that He was a man of the People and
didn't consider himself Above the Com-
mon Herd. When it came to Entertain-
ing the Crowd at Murphy's on the cor-
nier near the Cemetery he was There
with a Box of Gags that Would make
Lew Dockstader go back to the Town
Hall with his Merry Troupe of Artists.
j He used to tell stories that made Them
Yell to the skies. He would stand there
with the Gang and play the Human
I sponge till the man Behind would look
at his Ingersoll and Yawn, after which
he would break for home, First stopping
at a Place Down Town to get some-
thing to Take the Taste out of his
Mouth before Going to the Hay.
After he had Conned the citizens In
the Outlying district to sign their names
to Something begging him to become a
candidate and had it printed in the
Papers he had a lot of lovely pictures
Took of himself and when no one was
Lo iking his faithful Fido who had been
promised the Job of Chief keyholder to
The stationary Closet would hang them
up in Saloons and places like that. In
the picture he had a Clean shave and
Looked real Nifty. His forehead was
broad, high and Intelligent, too. There's
nothing Uke a good forehead. Some-
times it's the Whole cflieese in
picture.
After he baity whipped Idlings Into
shape and promised every Victim some-
thing Good and Soft he drew a mental
picture of the situation, and couldn't
see how be could Fall to become the
Big Noi.v on election Election
i night the Telephone company was kept
busy replacing wires to his Phone that
Had melted when Hot returns were com-
ing In. He was Neck and Neck till
after Twelve o'clock but after that the
Strain was over.
Along about Two he heard the Eighth
Ward Silver Cornet band coming down
the Street playing see Tne Conquering
Hero comes, and after they had started
ull the dogs "howling In the neighbor-
hood with the Victory march, the Ga-
zabo with tears in his eyes took them
Over to the Place on the Corner And
stood the proprietor off for an Eighth
outright. When he got back he Told
ills Wife to get Ready and take the
children To the Ten-cent Theater the
Next day, because the passes ought to
be used.
It was Four o'clock when he Hit the
Mattress that morning, and he liked it
so well he let Two meals go by before
Getting up.
Two days later he met Rehuliskizk-
llved near where they were filling In.
The victim held out his Hand and told
the Gazabo that his Brother Jim was
out of a job and that maybe He could
do something for Him. The Gazabo
looked on with n wise Look and told
blm bis Brother Jim might get some-
thing to Do by applying to the Free
Employment Bureau. Holding out Two
fingers for the Victim to shake the Ga-
zabo stepped into nn Auto In waiting
and was chugged up Street.

HOW MANY ARE EXEMPT?
Indian Territory Law That Hits Most
Everybody.
~~
JUSkogee, I. T., May 14.—Judge Hoyt,
\u-d States commissioner at Muskogee
i of a freak ordinance which he says
[part of the laws governing the town
Jenryetta, I. T. The ordinance, he
\ reads this way: "Any male man or

O'BRIEN VS. GOODWIN.
Boston, Mass., May 14.—Fight fol-
lowers 0f this vicinity are looking for-
ward to a lively bout at Chelsea to-
night when Rouse O'Brien and Ches-
ter Goodwin are to mix it up in the
main bout of the Lincoln club show.
The two are regarded as very evenly
matched. Only a few months ago they
fought fifteen fast rounds to a draw.
-j
Judge Hoyt says that he was called
upon several months ago to defend a
young man who had been arrested for
violation of this ordinance. In his de-
ferfse Judge Hoyt argued "that the city
attorney may have proven that the person
whom the defendant had fondled was a
female, but that he had not established
the fact of her being a woman. The
mayor's court however, in spite of_this
strong argument, fined the young man,
whereupon Judge Hoyt appealed the case
to the United States court at Muskogee,
where be secured the release of the de-
fendant.

the Retail Grocers' association of
Montreal opened in the Victoria rink
today and will continue for ten days.
More than 100 exhibitors are repre-
sented among the displays, which are

South McAlester. MaylS.—Chitto Har-
jo, commonly known as Crtljr Snake,
the leader of the Hnake band of Indians,
was In Muskogee today for the first
time in a year. His visit was of special
Interest from the fact that he has been J and the
back of the movement to re-establish
the old regime of Indian government
which was net on fi* t at a recent meet-
ing at Hickory Ground inthe Creek na-
tion. At that meeting the Snakes elect-
ed a chief who was to serve the rehabi-
litated Creek government.

The Red
Clover Blo -
had elected a chief. He said they mere-
ly elected a chairman of the meeting.
However, he did not deny that he is
still struggling after the vain hope of
restoring the lost power of the Creeks.
Crasy Snake was in Muskogee today
to secure about $500 due a grandson of
his who was one of the clalnants of
the Loyal Creek fund, but like other
fullbloods, delayed coming In and getting
Ids money while the payment was In
progress several months ago. The re-
doubtable Snake leader conversed freely
with the government officials through
hia grandson, who acted as Interpreter,
but very adroitly evaded answering all
questions that would compel him to
state his attitude toward the United
States government. However it could
be gleaned from his conversation that
he is not hostile to Uncle Sam, and that
while desiring above all elseto restore
his people to their lost power he does not
advise using force. The Snake leader
was Invited Into one of the rooms of
the agency by the head of a division and
Anally accepted the invitation and talked
through his interpreter. He reluctantly
answered a few Questions but the wily
Indian was too wise for the government
officials and after talking with him they
knew little more of Crazy Snake's atti-
tude or plans than before. Indian
Agent Kelsey advised Crazy Snake not
to make any atempt to organize the
fullbloods in hopes of restoring their
lost power. The old Indian stated that
he had no Intention of taking such a
step and left the office apparently In
good spirits.
Crazy Snake Is one of the most pic-
turesque figures In Indian Territory.
He is ulxmt seventy years of age
and has lived In this country most
of his life In close proximity to
whlto men. Nevertheless he can not
speak a word of English and has adopt-
ed very few of the white man's customs.
He has always hoped to lead his people
back to their simple life and government
they enjoyed In the early day of InJlan
Territory, and has made several not-
able efforts In this direction, but with-
out success. While clinging to old cus-
toms he is giving his son u good edu-
cation and declares that he will give
him every advantage of culture enjoyed
by the sons of the pale face.

MILITARY KITCHEN CAR.
Washington, D. C., May 15.—The
secretary of war has approved the
recommendation of the quartermaster
general an.l the commissary general
in favor of a kitchen car for military
purposes. This car will be used on
occasions of the transfer of large
bodies of troops over dislances which
require a period of forty-eight hours
or more. It has been found by a prac-
tical experiment that money is saved
and ihe men provided with better food
by having an improvised kitchen at-
tached to the train which carries them
long distances, such as is involved in
a transfer of troops across the con-
tinent. Hitherto there has been more
or less dependence upon the restaur-
ants and other facilities enroute.

4,3Z0 CASES; GIVES NO DECISION.
Michigan Judge Very Deliberate About
Deciding Suits.
Washington, May 14.—A represent-
ative of the department of justice is in
Michigan conducting a strange Investi-
gation Into charges of a somewhat pe-
culiar nature affecting Judge Henry M.
Swan, United States Judge for the East-
ern district of the Wolverine state.
It Is asserted that Judge Swan has
had argued before him during the past
four i-ears 4,320 cases, and that thus
far in no case has he rendered any
decision.
"The proposition of a newspaper
which ist supposed to present the good
points of its town advertising the false
story th'.ut. I/>gan county is hopelessly
in debt, doesn't accord with the peo-
ple', « ideaa of town growth and pros-
perity," .laid a well known citizen this
m rning. "For several days," he con-
tinued, "the Capital paper has flaunt-
ed the story that the county wa.s debt-
ridden. It's all a rotten lie, manufac-
tured for political purposes and pub-
lished a it iis now, when Guthrie and
Logan county want to make new
friends, is virtually a warning to pros-
pective investors to 'stay away from
Logan county.' It implies a warning
thi it Logan county is unattractive;
that there aire mortgages on farms;
that securities; are not safe. It is the
worst kind of an advertisement. It
implies that our county officials are
scoundrels and thiat Logan county is
no place to bring families. The peo-
ple know that the stories the Capital
is priuting are false. Such things
could not be. The Republican officials i
at the court house are equally divided. 1
One fficiai is a check on the others.)
The county treasurer knows nothing
of all these hot-air stories that the
Capital is printing; neither does the
county attorney, the register of deeds,
the probate judge, the county clerk.
While the storie-i have no effect and
are given no attention in Logan coun-
ty because the people know the ani-
mus that pr.mpts the Capital, they
must have a deterrent effect on pros-
pective new-comers living outside the
county. I think a committee should
wait on the editor of the Capital and
enlighten him as to the evil effects of
fjuch fakte publications. Nobody is
kicking Bibout county affairs except
that paper."
