BLIND AS A BAT.
But That Fact Wasn't Mentioned
When the Horse Was Sold.

David Harum was a good horse trad
er, but a recent transaction in horse
flesh which was made by a well known
Memphian shows that there are others
who know how to get the long end OF
q horse trade. Several weeks ago this
Memphis man saw a fine buggy horse,
which he thought he wanted. He 10
Gated the owner and asked the price.
zone fifty was the reply. After look
ing the animal over closely and trying
her speed he concluded it was a good
trade and without more ado wrote a
check for the amount. The next day
he found that the mare was as blind as
a bat, but this did not hinder her speed
or detract from her general appear
ance. He drove the animal for several
weeks and succeeded in attracting the
admiration of another lover of horse
flesh, who made a proposal to pur-
chase.
"Well,'' said the Memphian, Il gave
$3.50 for her, but 1 will let you have
her for $165."
The prospective owner looked the
animal over and concluded he had a
bargain. He paid over the money and
took the mare. When the animal was
unhitched, the first thing she did was
to run against post and then by way
of emphasizing the fact that she was
blind fell over a barrel. The next day
the buyer came back to the Memphian
with blood in his eye.
Colonel, you know that mare you
sold me,' he began. "Well, she's stone
blind"
81 know it," replied the colonel, with
an easy air.
"You didn't say anything to me
about it, said the purchaser, his face
reddening with anger.
"Well, I'll tell you," replied the colo
nel ''That fellow who sold her to me
didn't tell me about it, and I just con-
cluded that he didn't want it known"

He felt in his pocket and presently
fished out little round box. Then a

what was the matter.

DENNIS FLYNN AT ORLANDO
Gently Warns Up Bryan and Gala
han. Not Forgetting the Seffites.

han. Not Forgetting the Aefmtes.
Guthrie, O. T., Nov dennis Flynn
was accorded one of the most enthusiast
| tic receptions Of the campaign at Orlan-
do last night, fully 1900 persons being
present in the audience. In a brief pre-
face concerning national issues the speak
er said: eve are on the immediate eve
Of another national election have been
here and discussed these questions before
and 7 see In this audience many who
came to Oklahoma with me in 1889. The
questions are nearly the same. But you
win remember that four years ago Mr..
Bryan told you that the only salvation
for the country was in opening the minis
/ to the silver Of the world MIR Mckinley
on the other hand, told you that it would
be better to open the mills, the fac
tories and the mines. and IN so doing
abolish the soup houses and diminish the
number Of the genus hobo. known as
tramps. This year we cannot vote on
national issues, but we can vote on dele
gate TO congress. Just how you are go
ing to vote on this Issue I cannot say.
The opposition say: Flynn only did his
duty and therefore I should not be
elected again. Gentlemen. I thtank Cod
that there is one man in the United
States who does his duty What did Cal
lahan do when he was in congress? Did
he do his duty?"
Mr. Flynn then took up tie free homes
bin and discussed all the various phases
OF the famous law from its very incep-
ton. He read the letters of Mr. Gala
han to Chairman Laverty in which he
charged the Democrats themselves with
defeating the free homes bill In an
swer to the charge that he was worth
100000 and owned stock in twenty-three
national banks in Oklahoma. he said he
would give 1926. 900 to the man who would
find him the $500, 600, and as TO stock In
twenty-three national banks he said there
were not that many In Oklahoma and In
dian Territory both. He said he owned
stock in several private banks. but he
hkened that to an Investment in lands.
He took Up the gratitude" theory the
Democrats speak so much about. and
thoroughly exploded IT, When he came
to describing the scenes at the time OF
the bills passage and the final sign
ing by President Mckinley. It was. in
deed, touching. Mr.. Flynn paid a high
tribute to President Mckinley, Secre-
tary Hitchcock, Senator Cannon. Speaker
Henderson, Mr.. Eddy and Senator Knute
Nelson. The speaker was listened 10
from beginning to end with the closest
attention. Many said 1T was the ablest
speech Dennis ever delivered here. He
closed by appealing to all Republicans to
stand Loyalty by the ticket. county and
otherwise.
Hon. B. s. Barnes followed IN a brief
address in which he eulogtzed Mr.. Flynn
tn his efforts for free homes and for his
tireless energy.
