Carrier, Okla.--To find a fortune in
gold and currency hidden in strange
and improbable places in his own
home was the experience of Gerhart
| Theillen. German farmer living near
here. This money, amounting to SILL.
! 10000. had been boarded by G. f.
SchuItze, an eccentric recluse who
had made his home with rhielen a
number of years. Thielen believed
Schultze probably was worth $1,000 or
$4,000 but had no idea of it's where
abouts. The money was found when
Schultze died OF pneumonia several
days ago.
Schultze formerly lived in Texas,
where he has relatives who now have
fallen heir TO his fortune. Schultze
disliked his kinsmen, and In Texas he
boarded with Thielens motherin-law
When the Thielens moved to Carrier.
Schultze followed and lived with them,
paying them 81 month, always in
cash. He occupied a single room. In
to which he admitted no one.

Thielen explore the room
Almost at the first step gold and

The duty Of the people OF a com
munity to trade with home merchants
is pretty clear but there is another
side To the question that some OF our
merchants. banks and other business
institutions seem TO lose sight of and
that Is the duty Of these business peo.
pie toward those who spend their
money with them The merchant is
just as much under obligations to
spend his money al home as any body
else.

There are two things the democratic
press bureau at Oklahoma City seems
to stand for to the exclusion Of nearly
everything else To excuse the short
comings Of the state administrator
and 10 lambast socialism. The Chief
tain is as far from socialism as the
east is from the west, but democrats
should criticise the state administra-
tion wherever 1t is derelect of duty.
To assume .nat the king can do no
wrong is even worse than socialism.
The Cruee administration Is com
mitted TO the Akin bill that would
strike down most of the state schools
and the rank and file of the state de
mocracy Is committed to no such folly.
The state equalization board Is re-
sponsible for high taxes because It
raised the valuations made by the local
equalization board from % per cent
to 100 per cent all over the state which
is wrong in principle. undemocratic
and tyranical In the extreme. Okla
homa democracy should be purged
from within and the democratic press
association of Oklahoma is not driven
10 Che necessity of excusing the short
comings Of anybody The Chieftain
desires to see militant democracy,
broad in It's views, and efficient in ad.
ministretion, "clear as the sun. fair

Billy was sitting quietly in the big
la%wn-swing when his aunt. dressed for
the street, finally came through the

said. Il want to buy you some things

before Billy caught sight Of a round.
fat little face peering at him through
the palings which separated Miss MI

door neighbor.
"Hello!" shouted Billy. as you the

her hand at them.

we's born" he protested Indignantly.
Billy's idea of a bath was taken
from the sever weekly s%crubbing
which Aunt Cindy gave him with a
hard washrag, and he felt that he'd
rather die at once than have to battle
every day.
He followed his aunt dolefully to
the bathroom at the end of the long
back porch Of the old-fashioned, one
story house; but once in the big
white tub he was delighted.
In fact, he stayed in 1t so long
Miss Minerva had to knock on the
door and tell him to hurry up and
get ready for breakfast.
Say" he yelled out to her, 81 likes

When he came into the dining-room
he was a sight to gladden. even a prim
old maids heart. The water had
curled his hair into riotous yellow
ringlets, his bright eyes cleaned, his
beautiful, expressive little face shone
happily, and every movement of his
agile, 1.-THE figure was grace itself.

he took his seat at the breakfast Ia

Miss Minerva realized that now was
the time to begin her small nephew's

to speak correctly she must begin at

Mako Bitter Fight.

Chicago.-Colonel Roosevelt and his
leaders decided Tuesday night to make
the contest over the report of the ere.
dentials committee Wednesday a de-
cisive test of strength. Most Of
Tuesday evening was given over to
discussion Of the plan to be adopted.
Governor Hadley of Missouri, received
a commission to exercise a free hand
in directing the fight. Talk of a bolt
as the result of a decision to disregard
the action of a majority Of the con-.
yention unless it be composed Of IN
contested delegates was %unfounded.

AS his aunt could think Of no sub
stitute with which to tempt him in
lieu Of Sanctifed Sophy's shouting,
she remained silent.

nephew.
Miss Minerva remained silent She
felt unable to cope with the situation
till she had adjusted her thoughts and
made her plans.
Presently Billy, looking at her
shrewdly, said:
Gimme my rabbit foot, Aunt MI
nerva, an I'll go right off to sleep"
When she again looked in on him
he was fast asleep, a rosy flush on his
babyish, tear-stained cheek, his red
lips half parted, his curly head pill
lowed on his arm, and close against
his soft, young throat there nestled
the left hind foot Of a rabbit.

The Rabbits Left Hind Foot.

The Rabbits Left Hind Foot.
A few minutes later, as Miss MI
nerva sat rocking and thinking, the
door opened and a lean. graceful, little
figure. clad in a skinny, gray union
suit, came into the room.
Amt l a-goin' to say no prayers?"
demanded a sweet childish voice.
Aunt Cindy hear me an Wilkes
Booth Lincoln say US prayers ev'y
night sence we's born"
why, of course you must say your
prayers" said his aunt, b%lushing at
having to be reminded Of her duty by
this young heathen; "kneel down here
by me-"
Billy looked at his aunt's bony
frame and thought of Aunt Cindy's
soft, fat, ample lap. A wistful look
crossed his childish face as he
dropped down in front Of her and laid
his head against her knee, then the
bright, beautiful little face took on an
angelic expression as he closed his
eyes and softly chanted:
Now | lays me down to sleep,
l prays the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die befo' l wake.
