Indian, better known at Pawhuska as

old character
He is a familiar figure on the streets

the tribe.
There are many queer stories told
concerning Old John, but the one that
seems to be accepted by everyone Is
az follows:
Several years ago John was taken
sick. and as he was shiftless, in
dolent sort OF fellow he was de
serted by the other Indians, and in
course of time Old John gave up the
ghost and checked in. He was given
burial. as was the Indian custom
TO pile up a lot of rocks around him
and let him sleep IN peace until on
that great day when he would be
awakened by the roaming buffalo,
The third day John spread conster
nation among the Indians by waking
up and pushing away the rocks and
walking into camp, OF course this
showed very plainly to the Indians
that John was possessed OF the eyi
spirit, and the Indians cut his ac
quaintance

ri mere aTs many babies in this
town. Not too many children, the hope
Of the nation, but too many grown-up
babies. They can be seen on the street,
IN society, heard in the lodge room,
encountered everywhere. The grown.
up babies are fellows who are knocked
out.
The grown.up babies can not stand
criticism or complaint. They go TO bed
for sore finger. They give up an en-.
terprise when there is fight against it,
They lie in bed late in the morning.
They quit work before the whistle blows.
They are afraid to get their clothes
muddy or their hands soiled. They
are always on the hunt for soft snaps.
They want position where there is
nothing to do.
The grown-up babies never do the
WORLDS work. They carry no burden
They accomplish nothing for humanity
or themselves. In the church they are
always on the lookout for snubs or
Sights. In business they throw all the
labor and responsibility upon others.
In politics they want the other fellow
to DO their fighting while they walk eli

The Worlds Greatest show.

The Iowa State Fair is beyond question
the greatest livestock show in the
world Last year there were exhibited
over six hundred and fifty head of cattle,
this being only fifty less than were
shown ut the Great Fat Stock show, at
Chicago last fall. The number Of cattle
to be shown at the State Fair this year
will doubtless be greater than ever
before and in order to accommodate the
increased number, large cattle barn is
being erected in addition to the many
already on the grounds.
Besides the regular premiums offered
in the cattle department by the Fair
management, special premiums are Of
tered by the American Associations of
the Short Horn, 'Aberdeen-Angus and
Hereford Cattle breeders. These special
premiums are very liberal, and will have
the effect of bringing out representatives.
of some of the very best herds in the
west. With the erection of the Stock
Pavilion, making additional facilities for
the showing and judging Of this great
show Of livestock, she Iowa State Fair
presents the greatest inducements to
stock raisers everywhere to attend.

You will find 'em scattered about

other states you would find the con-
ditions about the same, stranded politi-
cal wrecks, derelicts drifting on the
political sea, Once they were impos-
tant factors, held office, had patronage
to distribute and were fawned upon by
people who wanted favors. Now they
are hasbeens, neglected, almost forgot
ten. Some of these men haye managed
to remain reasonably cheerful, but most
of them are disgruntled and bilious.
Better as rule to stick to business,
lead an honorable life, help the fellows
who are down when you can, lay up
something for old age, keep cheerful
and contented and your life will beat
the life Of the average Office seeking
