The Earning Capacity Of Dollar

The Earning Capacity OF a Dollar.

Dollars were made to supply our
daily wants and to earn more dol

dollar is only limited by the judg,

One Of First Families.


Jimmy Thorpe is in fact of one oi
the first families of America, for his
ancestors were chiefs of the tribes
centuries ago, when the Sacs and
Foxes had their headquarters on the
Lakes for their undisputed water
ways and had the entire central pOr-
tion of the continent for their hunt
ing grounds. Through his mother,
Thorpe is said to be IA liinsman OF
Black Hawk, the revolutionary chief
tain of a half century ago.
Even at the present time the elder
warriors of the tribe relate OF the
prophecy, made by one of their
chief medicine men at Chicago in
the year 1908, the same year the
Ozaukees and Mishowaukees - the
Sacs and FoXes-formed as offensive
and defensive alliance. The prophet
said:
You people will go to war with
the white people; you will be de-
feated and removed beyond the great
river; then you will be removed fur
ther and finally YOU will be remov-
ed TO the southwest, where the riv-
ers are red when there is much rain;
then. when you are in the land OF
the red waters, YOU will sell the last
of your land to your destroyers, the
white people
That prophecy has been fulfilled
litsrally. From thousands OF Sacs
and Foxes, they have dwindled now
to about 600 The older ones always
remember and recall the prophecy
when they cross the Cinarron and
other rivers in this locality, whose
waters are red when there is much
rain.
Jimmy Thorpe and his tribesmen
have on deposit in the national
treasury the sum of sl,000,000, draw
ing five per cent interest for many
years. Whenever the restrictions are
removed from the tribe. the money
will be divided per capita among

OLYMPIA VICTOR
BARRED BY LAWS
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MAIN.
TAiNS CONTROL OF THORPE
AS INCOMPETENT INDIAN"

Guthrie. Okla, Aug. III Jimmy
Thorpe the Sac and Fox Indian from
Oklahoma, wants any money to spend
he must first get the approval OF
Commissioner Robert Valentine Of
Indian affairs at Washington, for un-
der the federal laws Thorpe-the
winner of many medals in the Olym-
pic games-is IAN incompetent In
dian" when it comes to manage his
own affairs. although he is a citizen
with the right TO vote AS Ward
OF the government however, Thorpe
is under restrictions. He cannot sell
his land allotment near Stroud, Okla,
cannot lease it without the APPROX
al of the departments at Washing
ton. and he can not get the lease
money, nor any portion of it, unless
application is made to Valentine and
by him approved.
1t is the fault of Jimmy Thorpe
for around the Sac and Fox agency
he is known only as Jimmy and
his brother tribesmen that he is still
an incompetent" together with the
remainder of the allied tribe Several
years ago. during the last Roosevelt
administration, the proposition was
discussed and later enacted into law
to give the Sacs and Foxes entire
freedom in the management of their
financial affairs. The Indians, as
rule. are thoroughly capable, ana
they were so considered by the
Washington officials, but the Indians
themselves asked that their ward
dom be continued and that they be
not taken from under the watchful
eye of the government
How Thorpe Gets Money.
Yes. Jimmy is an incompetent, so
far as being permitted to manage
his own business affairs is concern
ed" said Indian Agent Myers OF the
Sacs and Foxes, who was here dur
ing the past week. we lease this
land for him-a valuable quarter sec
tion. rich in productive qualities
and bank his money after we have
collected it from the lessee, and
Jimmy cannot get any of 1t until
we apply to the department and give
consent There is no doubt, per
haps. but that he will be capable
enough when his term in school eX-
pires. and in all probability his re-
strictIons will be removed some day
and he will be his own boss
Thorpe is popular young fellow
among his tribesmen and also among
the agency employees, according to
Myers. He has always taken part
in athletic events in that section OF
the state. especially in long distance
running, football and baseball, but
not IA one of his tribesmen ever
dreamed that he would become such
a worldwide star, He has always
played baseball, but it remained for
him to develop as a football player
after he went to Carlisle.

on natural history. c. a. Nichols &
Co., Springfield, Mass, published in
1882 a very remarkable work. In
this l find that in 1851, and for some
years following. the sea serpent-or
sea erpents-appeared very often off
the New England coast.
Two Kinds of Monsters.
at appears that there were two kind
of these monsters. On one occasion
the animal that was seen had a fish
like head, very large eyes, gills and
continues fin extending the whole
length of its back supported by
numerous spines after the manner of
sticklebaCk. TWAS simply a very
large fish of an unknown variety.
The monster that was seen a great
number of times by numerous people
had body eighty or ninety feet long,
and about the diameter of a large cask
with a head closely resembling that
of a snake
Il quote the folling from the pub
lication referred to:
''From all this testimony there
seemed to be no doubt, reasonably or
plausible, of the existence of a sea
serpent of some eighty or a hundred
feet in length and of the size of a
large barrel or cask.
Indeed, so great was the sensation
created by the movements of the
monster. so repeatedly seen for sue
cessive years by so many witnesses
and described by them with such gen.
eral detail and general concurrence
that the .Linnaean Society of Boston
appointed a committee of eminent
scientific gentlemen to collect evidence
on the subject and they drew up a re-

numerous witnesses who saw the crea-
ture at sea, some of them from dis
tance of only ten yards.
