Sequel to the Story.

Last summer one of my opponents
in a joint debate tried to make a lot Of
fun Of me, as is the rule sometimes
and ridiculed me because. ne said. I
had never done any hard work. He
boasted that he had done a lot Of it,
and specified that he had driven a de-
livery wagon and cleaned out a fell
lows Office for him. I replied by tell
ing them about my work as a farm
hand and COW puncher. and wound up
with that brOncho riding on the banks
of the Canadian as an example OF what
real hard work was. I hadn't finished
the story when a gentleman In the
audience sprang up. ard cried out:
% That's right! That's right 7 was
there and 1 saw him do It. 1t was
eighteen years ago. but 1 remember
him. And ii was hard work. all right :"
After that Carter had no more
trouble with the man who had talked
about his hard work in driving a de-
livery wagon.

high council hall of the Paleface Capt.

ESCENDED from a white
man who marveloUsly
escaped death in an In
dian massacre, Charles
D. Carter, formerly
frontiersman, COW puncher, and
bronco buster, but now one of the
Representatives from the new
State Of Oklahoma, has as thrilling
a life history as was ever brought
to Congress.
When he was fighting for the
honor of representing the Fourth
district Of Oklahoma. one of his
enemies made the statement before
n big mass meeting that. as he was
an Indian, he should not be given
the privilege Of Congressional hon
ors az the hands OF white men. To
this argument. Carter replied in
ringing tones:
Under the statutes of The
United States / am Indian: but bv
