Sturgeon Didn' Mind Being Swimming

Resort

New York; am we'll acquainted
with a man who ran summer hotel
on the banks of stream about an
aeronaut's fly from the CITY," said the
man who writes the vacation guide
book OF a certain railroad and who is
truth to rise after she has been
crushed to earth
Along early in the summer this
gentleman was attracted by large
sturgeon which breakfasted every
moning on the refuse which tioated
away from the hostelry. Noting the
ample proportions of this fish, my
friend was struck with certain idea,
which he proceeded to enlarge upon.
He saw to it personally that dainty
geon every day. Naturally, the large
fish had friendly feelings toward the
vicinity where he obtained his largess
every day, and it was but short

over course of about a mile, all the
While keeping him near the surface OF
the river. At the end OF each work
out the big sturgeon was rewarded by
something to eat.
The next step in the process OF ed
ucatiOn was to rig UP large sign
setting forth the virtue Of my friend S
summer retreat. This was attac hed
to light but stout framework made
to fit the back of the sturgeon. OBJ
viously, the big fish, being SO well
found by the hotel proprietor, was
not averse to taking few turns up
and down the river, the sign showing
up in great shape above the edge OF
the water, no portion of it's propelling
power being visible
First along the sign read: Mum
mer's Summer Retreat-F'ine Cuisine,
Boating, and Bathing But my grasp
ing friend was not satisfied with this.
One day in early summer CHANGED
to drop into the workshop of the no.

new sign reading as follows: Mum

he will in a few days retire from the
mines forever
Thirty years ago there appeared In
Minooka a young Welsh boy by the

being the only Welsh boy in the COM

by his companions until Edward Don
nelly came to his rescue Donnelly
constituted himself the champion of
the youth and frequently fought his
battles.
Lewis drifted away from this Sec
ton of the country, and that was the
last heard from him until last week,
when Congressman D. ]. Lewis of
Maryland reached the city to attend
the meeting Of the State Grange.
After addressing the grangers Con-
gressmen Lewis hurried out to Minoo-

In this column last week something
was said about carelessness in the
construction of public buildings in Ok
lahoma, guilelessly and in the belief
that a public benefit might follow.
Reference was made to the buildings
for the asylum for the insane now un-
der way at Vinita. D. NJ. Marrs, the
editor OF the Vinita Chieftain, has long
held the esteem and confidence of this
humble writer In recent issue of
his newspaper Editor Marrs printed
this editorial statement;
Horace Greeley Jr has an article
in Saturdays issue of the Oklahoma
City Times that is unjust and mis-
leading as it applies to the asylum for
the insane being built at Vinita. Mr..
Greeley confesses ignorance with ref
erence to the subject matter of which
he writes, which in a measure miti-
gates his error but at the same time
either Intentionally or unintentionally
does the state board of affairs and
others an injustice The asylum
buildings at this place will cost a mil
lion dollars when completed, accord
ing to plans and specifications and
there will be more than twenty build
ings. The two buildings now nearing
completion are among the smallest of
the group. His criticisms of the work
manship are absurd Mr. Greeley
should visit Vinita and the asylum be-
fore attempting to write about it,"
Horace Greeley, Jr,, was discussing
the faulty construction of state build
ings, a number of which he had seen
personally A careful business man
whose veracity and intelligence the
writer cannot doubt said that the brick
work at Vinita was cracked Editor
Mars rejoins that criticisms of the
workmanship are absurd" So there
you are The writer feels deeply
Inundated His informant has been
for many years man of unquestioned
integrity and has held numerous posi-
tions of trust. That he should sud
denly abandon paths of rectitude and
become a constituencies prevaricator
is to be deplored. But he thought he
saw the cracks. Maybe he was dream
ing If there are no cracks there are
no cracks It is impossible that Editor
Marrs should be ken.-Oklahoma

SILENT MARTYRS OF CIVILIZATION

SILENT MARTYRS OF CIVILIZATION
A large part Of tn energy of ciyiliza-
tion has come out of the bodies of the
great, four-footed races. The horse,
the OK the mule the elephant, the
camel. the reindeer the water buffalo,
the yak. the dog. and the donkey-on
the powerful and patient backs of these
beings civilization has been borne for
unknown hundreds of years. The
power and mobility of these races have
enabled man to carry out enterprises
he never could have dreamed of under
taking single-handed. Without horses
or other beings able and willing to
WELD the great implements, agricul-
ture, the most basic of human indus
tries, would be almost impossible
Take Horses.
They are overloaded, overworked,
poorly sheltered beaten without cause,
neglected. starved. misunderstood, cut
with brutal whips, deprived of leisure
and liberty, and doomed to a round of
wrechedness and toll such as ony ma

and no capacity for despair, would
ever voluntarily enter upon From the
time they start out in the morning till
they come back at night, aching with
weariness and covered with stripes.
they are doomed to an existence that
contains all the essentials ON a liv-
ing death And it is not for day or
week or a yearf 1t is for a life
time They have absolutely nothing
to look forward to.
No wander horses become downcast
and apathetic! No wonder they be-
come broken hearted! No wonder
their faces become drawn, and out of
their eyes streams the solemnity that
darkens the faces of the doomed
Worn Out Horses And Men.
And when man has extracten from
them every benefit he is able to ex-
tract, he casts them out, as the money
hog does his worn-out workmen to
rot Re stars of heaven never looked
down on more pitiful sights than that
of horses or men, after having drugded
faithfully all their lifelong days in the
service of Others and after receiving
for their lifelong devotion a compen-
sation chiefly of pain, turned out in
their helpless old age to starve to
