How Farmer Connor's TRUCK Paper"
Relieves an Oklahoma Stringency.
AT a place called Canadian, not far
from Muskogee, Okla, there is an
Irishman named j. +. Conner, says the
Wichita Beacon. He is a member of
the tribe, having married an Indian
woman. He has lived there at least
thirty years, and everybody ut or near
Canadian knows him. He has nine
children, each of whom has 800 acres
Of land. The family has about 5000
acres Of ground, and as Mr. Conner is
a fine farmer and has brought up his
family to be farmers there is enough
property In sight to inspire confidence
If the Conner name were not itself
financial Gibraltar.
Not long ago In a spirit of Irish hui
NOR Mr.. Conner had a few checks
printed, to which he signed his name,
and one son Joined In the note. 1t
was for So. When he offered It he
found that 1t was good, and the people
took 1t readily.
Then he went into the business OF
issuing checks, but In most novel
form. He made the check payable to
bearer, but not good II Endorsed, The
signature was not j. +. Conner, but
j. T. Connor's farm. The idea was
that the farm backed the note and not
the man; hence the clause that an in
dorsement would vltlate 1t by putting
mere mans name on an equality
with the farm.
Another popularity of the check is
that 1t is payable in cotton. wheat,
oats, potatoes, hay, eggs, poultry and,
In short. anything produced ON the
farm. 1t is also payable In cashiers
checks or anything that passes for
money except the currency itself
Now these notes are doing the work
Of currency in Canadian and another
town near there and every merchant
In both towns accepts them as freely
as If they were greenbacks and even
more readily than bank checks from
places farther away.
The Wichita Beacon saw one of these
notes the other day Endorsed by Sen.
ator Russell, so as to vitlate 1t. and the
statements made in this article are
vouched for by the state senator from
the Muskogee district.

Had His Revenge.

The rivalry was great at the annual
cricket match police versus publicans,
and many friendly bets depended on
the result. When the last batsman,
Police Constable Robinson, walked to
the wicket the police required only two
runs to win, and naturally great ex-
element prevailed. He batted with
due care until loose ball came, and,
hitting thia past mid-on, he started for
an easy run. He got home comforta-
bly, before the wicket was thrown
down, but to his disgust he was given
out

he was out Of shape, going back and
unable to come within striking dis
lance of his former times. On re-

the Oakland Athletic club in Pitts

the queens taste. Paced by his club
mate, L. deb. Handley. to whom he
conceded handicap, he foamed
through two lengths and one-quarter
of the pool at such n terrific clip that
the timekeepers could hardly believe
their eyes when they consulted their
watches, One stood at 20 4-5 seconds,
the other two at 80 seconds fat.
