Thirty Million to One That He VIII
Not Be President.
From the indianapolis Sentinel
Take one on me. fellows" cries the
happy father Of the newborn baby boy.
Isn't he sweet! exclaim In chorus the
1air friends Of the mother, as they cluster
round her bedside. A smile lights her face
and continues her dream of the great fu-
ture that lives before her son. Happy par
ents! Their roseate visions of their first
born's future are coiored with love. anu
they fall to take calm, dispassionate view
OF the chances for the success of the baby.
Figures are obstinate things, and some
times cast the best laid plans to the ground
aS worthless Here are a few on the
chances OF the average infant:
Looking over the fields of endeayor in the
United States and considering the fates OF
men In the complexities of civilization the
sd cnances good and Ill for the average child
chances of 10000, 600 to l that the bow Will
not become President of the United States
there are also chances of 5SS to i that he
VIII not go insane: 600 to that he will not
be feeble-minded; 1877 to that he will not
be deaf and dumb: 1.25O to that he will
not be blind; 644 to that he will not be
criminally or socially delinquent, and S64
TO TO that he will not be an inmate of pub
lie almshouse. AS to the last item. the
chances are 500 to l that he will not end
his days In some charitable institution
maintained by private contributions. The
risks run by the baby for the goal OF sue
cess are great, but he has long life before
him. and healthy one, If his parents are
careful.
On the first great proposition of making
both ends meet, the American baby laws 1t
over the English baby in his chance of get
ting through life without any water blisters
on his palms. In every 1000 people in the
British Isles there are 450 bread winners.
Next to these come the French, with 434
bread-winners; then the Germans with 4z6,
the Austrtans with 425, the Russians with
41O, and the Americans with only BAT 10
grow to any of these estates the baby $
chances Of life must be considered. Under
one year old he Is four times as likely to
die as he Is after he passes his first ami
versary; at two years he is not half as like
~ to die as at one year; at three years he
has one and three-fourths chances over his
condition at two years: at four he has one
and one-third over his chances at three
years, and at five the average chances of
death are his, and the hope may be held
out for at least forty years Of life.
No parent should entertain the hope that
his child be immune from all work in his
lifetime The inevitable proposition con-
fronting the child coming into the world is
that 1t shall take it's part in the world S
the lists OF occupations in the United
States. the parent may make his choice of
the means of livelihood for his child and
then consider the chances the child has OF
attaining 1t. The baby in the case Is the
average baby, with whom the accident and
circumstance Of birth and environment
have nothing to do.

money. implements nor stock Of any
kind This is true, but notice that they
manage to live on their annuities and
lease money and buy horses buggies. etc,
on credit and borrow money from the
banks with but little prospect of ever
being able to pay their debts. Any able
bodied man or woman is able TO obtain
work ct fair wages. Many of the peo-
pie are addicted to drink and both men
and women are inveterate gamblers. They
have practically nothing to do. Their
days are spent in almost utter idleness
and vice and debauchery are rampant.
The degradation Of these people viii con-
tinue and increase until they are made
TO work and live by the result of their
labors"
AS a remedy for this condition of af-
fairs, the agent recommends that the
Indian children be educated only at res
ervation boarding schools, further edu-
cation being SO per cent waste of effort
and money; that the schools under the
Jurisdiction of the Oklahoma govern
ment be established among these Indians
that the latter can come into constant
contact with white children and that the
payments by the government from their
trust funds now in the United States
treasury be used to enable them TO start
in farming and stock raising.

MANY CARS OF GLASS
Are Used in wichita Every Ye,

Are Used in Wichita Every Year.
The Headley Glass Company, of Fair
mount, Ind, has written TO George w.
Smith, secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, asking how much building glass is
used in Wichita each year. The letter
stated that the supply of natural gas in
their section had run out and they We're
looking for another point and were con-
templating moving to Wichita. Mr.. Smith
began work on the matter and found that
something over 7S cars Of glass was sold
in Wichita each year. That is by the
wholesale men. Many of the retail stores
get their glass in small quantities. but
that amount was purchased and sold in
Wichita last year by four firms. This is
a good jobbing point for building mate
rails The trade of the southern part of
this state and Oklahoma and a part OF
Texas is supplied from Wichita. Mr..
Smith in his rounds found that the United
Sash and Door Company purchased fifty
cars of glass in the year ending October
/. the Crescent Sash and Door Company
purchased eight cars, the c. K. Potts
Drug Company ten cars and ]. A. Bishop
five cars, making total of seventy-three
cars, and Mr.. Smith believes that with
the glass purchased in smaller quantities
by other firms in this city II will make the
total consumption more than seventy five
cars

poor piece of ground. II IS even so that
during certain parts of the year water
has to be hauled from a neighboring
place.
There are many peculiar characters on
read about In the story Of over the
Hills to the Poor House" They are
very happy lot. Uncle joe is a good
example OF optimism. He is an old col
ored man VINO has the rheumatism and
has not been able TO walk for two years.
and yet he sits up in his bed and smiles
as he jokes with the caller and dec.ares
in most confident tones that he will be
able to get up and walk around before
long.
A queer character is presented In the
man Of over 90 years who delights in
taking care of the horses The reason
why he Is on the poor farm is still more
odd. He could get enough as hostler
to live on. but because he could not re-
ceive as high wages as the younger man
he refused to work and went TO The poor
farm.
The little old woman who has mania
about the postoffice is no less an inter
esting character. She once found $
bin. 1t was before she went to the poor
farm. She has relatives and they write
TO her once in awhile. For a long time
she did not believe the s. bin was any
good because she had had II so long, but
when she found that it was she rented
a box at the postoffice and now once
or twice a week Superintendent Dillon
has to take this woman down to the
postoffice so that she can open her box
with her key and find If there is any
mail in it. She win not trust anyone
with her mail, and she thinks the post
office boys are great people. as shown
when she was introduced to the reporter.
She Immediately inquired If he worked
at the postofice, and when told that he
didn't, she hurried off TO her room
The farm is kept in very fine condi-
ton. and all the inmates seem TO like
the superintendent, who treats them as
so many children. Many are little more
than children in some ways. for they
have their quarrels and every once in
awhile there is a fight. 1t is a great In
stitution. and worth visiting.

MONSTER
MEETING
AT PERRY
Hundreds Turned Away From
Opera House.
FLYNN AND BIRD MCGUIRE
Given a Welcome That Was
Unprecedented.
FLYNN AND BIRD MCGUIRE

Perry. o. II Oct. 31.-A monster de-
monstration, participated in by the people
of Perry and Noble counties in honor Of
R.rd S. Mcclure, took place IN this city
tonight
The Perry opera house was packed with
people from top to bottom, and many per-
sens were turned away from the doors
owing to the inability to secure standing
room. The enthusiasm was unprecedented
during the present campaign. Prior TO
the meeting at the opera house there was
a parade of unique features. There were
fireworks on all sides of the public
square, and the parade was led by the
Terry band. In a carriage artistically dec
GRATED, driven by Sheriff George a. Foster,
were Bird S. Mcclure, Dennis T. Flynn
and Mrs Mcclure. The appearance of this
carriage brought out enthusiastic cheers.
Floats, filed with school children, shout
ing Mcclure and Statehood" added to
the reception given the congressional can
didate On the sides of several floats were
the inscription, I'VE Want Free Text
Books In these floats were many chill
dren riding. The Ebony Quartette, COM
posed of colored people, occupied one
feat, and during the progress of the pa
rade sang campaign songs In the rear
OF the float was the take-of, NO, Bill,
we warnt in your convention" After
the parade the crowd flied the opera
house. There were many persons on the
stage. When Mcclure appeared the pop
ular candidate received an ovation last
ing for many minutes. The Ebony quar-
tette sang several campaign songs and
Mcclure was then introduced to the audi
ence.
He delivered one of the most telling
speeches made by him during the cam
psign. He was in fine form, despite his
arduous work OF the past few days. His
remarks were frequently punctuated by
applause, given with an intensity indicat-
ing that strong arguments were made
MCGUIRE devoted the greater portion of
his time to statehood. successfully refut-
ing the arguments advanced in this county
by Bill Cross and his supporters.
This has IN reality been political day in
Perry. Dennis T. Flynn had a splendid
audience this afternoon, and the meeting
tonight makes a record OF two banner
meetings in one day Flynn goes to Gnth-

Washington, Oct. 3l.--A severe arraign-
