J. M. MINGLE
MANCHESTER, OKLAHOMA.
David Moylan, councilman, attorne-
and municipal judge elect of Cleve-
land, 0., was a railroad switchman
18 years ago. An accident deprived
him of his right arm. Moylan is no!
a man to be easily discouraged and i’
wasn’t long before he was back at tb
same old stand. Seven years later an
other accident cost him his left arm
It was theivthat Moylan turned his at
tention to law- and worked with all hi
might and brain until he mastered th>
subject. At the law examination h>
answered the questions with pen be
tween his teeth. He practiced a while
as a lawyer, and four years ago was
elected to the city council. He made
good and was returned two years age
by one of the biggest votes. In the
recent election he ran for municipal
Judge and was elected by a good plu
rality. The photograph show’s how
Judge Moylan will sign his decisions

Doped Horse*.
"What’s the matter with him?”
“He’s doped, that’s all.”
That’s all! But first he is kicked and
beaten and cuffed and clubbed and
cursed and starved. He bas stood foi
hours under a blazing, scorching sun
or driving, blinding sleet. He nas
jogged wearily along in a drenching
rain. He has faithfully hauled a load
too heavy for him in the face of a raw
piercing wind—and has gone without
many a meal. But when he has out-
grown his usefulness, or has sickened
from neglect, though he may have
given years of loyal service, he is not
cared for or decently shot, but he is
doped for sale.
His master giveB him a dose of gin
ger and whisky mixed with an opiate
This livens him up a hit and so in
creases the chance of making an extra
dollar.
This practice is being closely
watched by the only friend In author-
ity dumb beasts have, the Humane so-
ciety It is a practice resorted to by
people of profound ignorance and pov-
erty. and others with natures dellber
’alely cruel.—Exchange
YOUTH’S VANISHED JOYS.
We hear it asked, “What has he-
come”
Of olden-time eo’n pone;
Of Mammy’s henfen biscuits with
l'he flavor all their own;
But would they taste as good
again
If they were served tonight?
Would memory make up, per-
chance,
For jaded appetite?
That chicken Maryland we knew
In golden bygone days
Seems to have lost its flavor now,
The pies mother used to make,
So flaky and so light,
Go well in verse—but would they
tempt
The jaded appetite?
And thus in reminiscent vein,
One might ask “What’s become”
Of this and that and t’other
thing—
Of doughnuts and them some;
They live but in the memory
As visions of delight,
We couldn’t eat them now be-
cause
We lack the appetite.
THE FABLE OF A LOAFER.
Once upon a time there was a
“good-for-nothing,” who refused to
follow his father’s trade of stone
cutter and became a loafer. He
was fat and ugly, with a short bull
neck, a round, bald head, thick lips
protruding eyes and stub nose. He
spent his time talking with whom-
soever would listen. He respected
no one, rich or poor. He loved a
joke, went barefoot and allowed his
clothes to become soiled. He spent
most of his time drinking at the
public drinking place. Finally he
married, but instead of reforming
his ways he continued to loaf along
the streets, talking, and refused to
earn money to support himself and
wife. Frequently the woman could
be seen leading him through the
streets by the ear, berating him
soundly with her tongue, and fre-
quently with a broomstick. This
man was Socrates—the wisest man
the world has ever seen. He had
the greatest brain of any man who
ever lived. He was the father of
philosphers—the greatest of think-
ers.
MORAL: Don’t judge a man by
his habits.
WAS FINE.
The Operetta, “The Merry Milk
Maids,” put on by the High School
last Saturday evening was certainly
enjoyed by the large audience who
witnessed the production. Each
one participat:ng showed that they
had thoroughly mastered their
parts and there has not been an en-
tertainment in the opera house this
winter that was any finer. All did
well and we feel that if they should
undertake another musical or other-
wise entertainment that they will
have a crowded house. The recita-
tion by Miss Aller is worthy of
especial mention. Space forbids us
giving each individual mention that
we would like to.
