POLITICIAN DIDN'T LIKE PIE
What Happened to Oklahoma Candi-
date who sIiEhted the Great
Connection,

girl Of the Cherokee nation in the hills
Of eastern Oklahoma baked a pie which has
since become famous. She carried II ten
derby to the town OF two buildings which
wears the somewhat suggestive name OF
Needmore. In the schoolhouse a pie social
was being held. The high rating Of the
pie social among society events Is too we'll
known to require elaboration, and this oc-
casion was made what is called more aus
picious because OF the presence of the Hon
Charles f. Creager member Of congress
and candidate for reelection. The pies and
auxiliary debcacies cooked by the Cherokee
girls were packed in boxes which were sold
at auction by a Mr.. Burk, an orator. Zach
buyer found in his lunch box the name OF
partner for the supper Congressman
Creager bought boz But he didn't know
the rules He faile,' , hunt up his partner;
he didn't like pie; he ldipped outdoors when
he thought no one wis looking and tossed
that disk of pastry and pumpkin over u,e
fierce. And he innocently supposed that
his duty had been fulfilled when ne re-
turned the empty plate TO the address en-
cloaed in the box. When Auctioneer .Burk

BY TIP WRIGHT,

SAN FRANCISCO, May 30
Waiting for jack might be the
title for the comedy staged every
once in while at the road house
on the Ocean Beach boulevard
where Jack Johnson is training.
AS l have said before, Johnson
came long before he wanted to
tear himself away from the noise
and hustle of Chicago. Although
forced by public sentiment to come
west, he refused to begin his train
ing until he was good and ready,
and in the interim he buZzed about
like big wasp in his gaoline gig.
Every newspaper photographer
in San Francisco, with a sprinkling
from other coast cities and one or
two from the east, developed into
regular Jobs while Johnson was
benzineing around the country.
The sharpshooters got the habit
of dropping round every morning.
fearing johnson might keep his
promise and pose while they were
