Clever Answers.

In answering correspondents in the
Mail and Breeze, Tom McNeal, the
inimitable Tom, writes the following
Characteristic comments:
j. V.-McPherson, Kan. We are
not prepared to give an opinion in re-
gard to Prof. Crook, Of the Chicago
university, who announced that he had
never uttered profane word: never
smoked or chewed or drank anything
Intoxicating or hugged or kissed a
woman or girl. Not knowing the pro-
fessor personally we are unable to say
whether he is mentally and physically
defective or just a common, ordinary
liar.
w, j. Hutchinson, Kan.-Your
question as to what would have hap
pened in the Garden of Eden If Pier
pont Morgan and Hettie Green had
been there in place of Adam and Eve
is purely speculative and hardly a
proper subject for consideration in a
great moral, political and agricultural
guide, devoted to facts likethis paper.
However, we might venture an opinion.
Our judgment is that the serpent would
not have found Pierpont and Hettie
the easy marks that he found Adam
and Eve. They would have shown him
before he had been long in the garden
that they knew so much more about
the fruit business than heever dreamed
of that he would have felt like thirty
cents. Furthermore they would not
have been in the garden over three
days before they would have had a
corner on apples and would have COM
PEELED the devil, when he visited them,
to pay for the privilege of climbing the
trees.

MISS MITCHELL REELECTED
Will be Superintendent of City Schools
For Another Year. Other School
News of General Interest

The board Of education held it's
annual meeting Monday to select a
superintendent OF the city schools for
the ensuing year. Miss Clifford Nit
ehell was again chosen for that re-
sponsible position. One or two other
candidates we're in the field and of
course there are some people who
wanted change. An angel couldn't
run school or newspaper without
running across a few people who
found him or her uncongenial-and
blamed the angel.
lola knows Miss Mitchell. She is
an energetic instructor and has devot-
ted more time and thought to filling
the position to which she was elected
two years ago than any one else
would. Her ability is proven, II need
there be, by the excellency of the lola
schools during her reign, an excel
lency for which she helped pave the
way while acting as principaltwo years
before she was elected superintendent
Miss Mitchell's friends are very
glad indeed Of her reelection and the
REGISTER congratulates the board on
its wise action.
The board before adjourning re-or-
ganized and elected the following Off
GERS; M. G. Robinson, president
S. G. Cecil, vice-president; E. c.
Remsberg, secretary.
There will be several vacancies
in the corps Of teachers for the com.
ing year, Mr.. Royster going to
Chanute and other changing or mar
rying. To I'LL vacancies there will be
an examination held next Saturday
In the high school building of all de-
string to become elegible to positions
in the city schools.

Talking of the Park Title.

'I'l! tell you," saida Carlyle town
ship man on the street this afternoon,
elf the title to the park had been sure
the court house would have won by
500 majority"
And w. L. Bartles, who stood by,
then proceeded to relate what he knew
after forty-one years spent here and
several years on the city council. This
section of country was given to the
New York Indians by the government
The Indians refused it. Then Congress
passed a special law regarding towns
out in the public main and lola and
Humboldt were planned under that
act. Years afterwards lola City
wanted above all things TO wipe out
the four blocks in the heart of town
that Humboldt called 'the great
American Desert" 1t was desired to
get title to the land and sell off blocks
and lots for business houses. At that
time Bartels was on the council and a
most exhaustive search was made in
the hope of weakening the county
seats title, but to no purpose. The
park belonged to the county for
public buildings. Later the question
of caring for the park arose and the
city took charge. Recently to waive
any possible title this care might
have given, ;the council met and with
drew all claim.
"Why we wouldn't like anything
better" concluded Mr.. Bartels. "If
you fellows who know the title is in
the city will prove it lola will donate
a $75, ,OO0Icourt house to Allen county.
Those blocks will make ten lots to the
block facing out from the square and
those lots would sell like hot cakes at
81, 900 each.

cana. When this lease was taken
there we're but few persons who be-
lieved that the Lucas would prove to
be the worlds greatest we'll. 1t was
thought by supposed authorities to be
a gas we'll only. Last week the Spin
die Top came in, big we'll. Several
hours after the oil spouted Mr.. Beatty
had the pleasure of refusing million
and half offered by Kentucky syn
dicate.
A day in Beatty's Office is an in
sight into humanity. All classes
gather before his door. The million
aire and the poor man are found wait
ing his pleasure. His office is unpre-
tentious. A small oak deskl is sutii-
cient for Mr.. Beatty's purpose and his
private deals are made within q second
room which is not over 7x12 feet in di-
mentsions. In there Is theilong dis
tance telephone which rings almost
constantly, and stenographer.
In this small room, furnished with a
plain pine table and a few chairs,
Beatty conducts his operations Thurs
day he was closeted with men from sew
eral parts of the United States. He
refused s75, 900 the same day for one
acre of ground near the Spindle Top
we'll. Friday he refused 10000, and
today it was whispered that million
dollars had been offered, Bigdeals-.
there are no small deals in that little
room-come forth for acceptance or
declination and are hustled out Of the
way for others crowding along.
Beatty has been living at high ten
sion since the day the Lucas we'll came
in, January IL, and it is a wonder,
knowing what he has accomplished,
that he is not physical and nervous
wreck. Ole is at work frequently at 6
o'clock in the morning and it Is moth
ing unusual for him to labor long af-
ter midnight

Dave Beatty, Oil Magnate

The Kansas City Star some time ago
printed the following concerning a
formerly of lola man:
1t was a man from Kansas who
made the biggest deal in the Beaumont
oil field; of course it was a Kansas
man who was on the spot a few min
utes after the Lucas gusher was an
nounced to the world 1t was Kan
sas man who sold a gusher for 1t mil
lion dollars, putting stamp of sta
bility and worth.on the new oil field,
and it is Kansas; man who is pro-
noting the largest schemes in this sem
sational oil field.
The Beatty gusher was named after
D. r. Beatty, formerly of Ft. Scott,
Arkansas City and Kansas City, Kas.
Mr.. Beatty is the most active spirit in
the tremendous enterprise and energy
now upbuilding thelnew oil territory.
His name alone is sufficient to stock a
company, and his counsel and assis-
tance are sought from all sides.
Mr.. Beatty is self made man and
an example of what pluck and good
judgment can do together. He began
life without a dollar. Today he Jug
giles millions. He was born near Kin
cardine, Ontario, Canada, about AZ
years ago, and as lad never attend
ed school long enough to know how to
properly mold book.
Most of Mr.. Beatty's boyhood was
spent in California, north OF San
Francisco. About 1880 he removed to
Allen county, Kas. Later he went to
lola, Fred Funston's town, where he
met Miss Nettie Evans who now is his
wife. They were married in 1884,
against the protest of the young wo-
mans parents. 1t was a runaway
match and the ceremony asperformed
in Winfield. After three years in
Arkansas City, Mr.. Beatty went to
Ft. Scott where he opened up a real
estate office. From Ft. Scott he re-
moved to Ft, Scott. from Kansas City
to Galveston and from Galveston to
Corsicana, where he found his first ex-
perience:in the oil business.
Mr.. Beatty's deals since January
have run up into the millions. He
was asked theIother day what the total
was but hesdeclared he couldn't an
swer thesquestion. But an idea of the
extent of his hand in affairs here NAV
be judged by the fact that one day last
week his negotiations amounted to al
most one million dollars.
In the Spindle Top deal the lease,
instead of only costing $l0 as did the
lease of the land where the Beatty
gusher is, was bought for S25, 900.
This was an unheard of price, and
people said Beatty was daft when he
paid it. He had, as a partner, A.
Templeton young banker of Corsi.

Won't Garnett Like This!

lola has her troubles and so is able
to appreciate the woes of other towns.
OF course the case of Garnett should
be one for her to rejoice and be ex-
ceedingly glad, but the REGISTER,
from slight acquaintance with the
folk up there predicts that Garnett
will be mad.
Telegraph dispatches say:
Garnet, Kansas, May DIR. j. A.
Henning, who was elected mayor of
Garnett at the recent city election, was
sworn into Office last night. He ap-
pointed Thos. Gowdy city marshal,
and w. o. Knight, city attorney. He
instructed them to enforce the pro-
hibitory law. He opened the council
meeting with prayer and when he ad-
ministered the oath of office to the
new councilmen paid little attention
to the prescribed oath, but bound them
to enforce the laws Of thetown. After
wards he issued a manifesto which
starts out:
"'Fear God and keep his command
ments and keep the Sabbath day
holy
ut declares further that cigarette
smokers will be prosecuted the cur
few law must be enforced and that
drunkenness, either on the streets or
in private houses, shall be dealt with

rATTOOED WOMEN.
The Latest Fashion Is to Have Butter
nies, Snakes, Etc, Etched
ON the Arm.

The craze for Japanese things has
90 far affected some women with
much leisure time upon their hands
that they are having odd little de-
signs worked upon their arms and
shoulders In faint delicate tints. An
English dancer began this fashion
with a butterfly on her upper arm,
and II became q rage In London to
have some design of the sort done on
the flesh.
People who go to Japan have their
tattooing done by the native artists;
but 1t is done with equally good re-
suits In New York by an 1rishman
who has small shop on the BowePy
and has worked up a fashionable
trade In this odd pursuit that has
made him rich, says the Sun.
Old-fashioned tattooing was done
crudely with q needle, which often in
famed and irritated the skin. Now
adays 1t is done with an electrical con-
trivance which etches design finely
and painlessly. Colored inks are used,
and their use Is a secret which the
Japanese artists have mastered to
perfection. There are books of Won
derful colored designs for tattooing
which one can choose from; birds,
beasts and reptiles. The snake is a
favorite with the tattooed, some Of
whom have one represented as being
wound about the arm from the wrist
to the shoulder.
Women who go In for this fad
choose as a rule some small, dainty
and less terrifying pattern, butter
flies being the popular fashion at
present. New York's tattooer visits
the houses of his fashionable patrons.
At hardly any hour of the day Is he
disengaged, as a steady stream Of less
fashionable customers throng his
shop for the purpose of having va
rious designs of trade, religious SYM
bols, portraits, landscapes and names
sketched upon their arms in colored
inks.
