Muskogee, L. T.. Nov. 2I. After
travelling all the way from Boston
it took I5-year-oId Harold Carson. a
would be bandit, about thirty
minutes to find out the real life of
a bandit in Indian territory and
get behind the bars of a federal
prison. Harold had read too many
Wild West stories and imagined
that to him the simple life in Bos-

out to become an outlaw in Indian
territory. according to the stat--
ments which be made to officers in
Vinita, where he is in prison.
He beat his way to Chicago,
thence to ST. Louis and arrived in
Vinita with little revolver, which
he imagined was just what he need
ed. He saw a good horse, saddle
and briddIe, hitched to a post. He
mounted it and was a fullfedged
horsethief and outlaw in his mind.
But his career was cut short.
The horse he had taken belonged
TO c. A. Riddle. The boy had not
reached the city limits when he
stopped to inquire the way to
Cofeyville. The man he stopped
happened to be Riddle, and the
latter promptly asked about the
horse. The explanation was unsat

in charge. hen it was that the
story Of his ambition was told. The
officers don't know what to do with
him unless they send him to re
form school.

Advice

Think 1t Over Some New Year
Advice
If New Year, which has come to
be generally accepted as holiday,
served no other purpose than to
give the human race breathing
spell and time to think, it would be
worth while.
When a year ends things business
and social come almost to halt and
t is fine time to plan to cut out
errors and extravagances, folies,
deceit, bad methods, and give right
a trial.
What have you been doing with
yourself?
Have you worked we'll and faith
fully? Have you done your duty?
Did you know that there was such a
thing as duty? Have you used un-
clean methods in business? Have
you charged Fall that the traffic will
bear" and salved your conscience
with the fact that ''other men do
these things?
Have you been a good citizen?
Have you lived, acted and thought
right? Have you been alive to the
fact that you owe something beyond
the mere payment of your taxes to
your city, state and nation?
Perhaps you work with your hands
Most of US do. Have you been
cheerful, thoughtful and energetic
or Il time server and a human crouch
intent on drawing salary and giving
as little in return as POSSIBLE?
You'll find one or more of these fel-
lows in nearly every shop, and they
are curse. They discourage effort
and kill the joy that should lie in

Surprising you take time to find
where you are at. If you are going
up, thought will give you new cour-
age and Inspiration You will want
to fight all the harder. You will
map out new worlds to conquer and
you will glory in your power to do
and be.
II you are going down, perhaps a
panorama of your faults spread out
in gloomy array will bring a splash
of red to your face and sting you to
make the most of the body and brain
that only await intelligent direction
and use to make you success.
