His fifteen farms and stock ranches valued at one

and other property in the City of Ardmore.
In addition to the above there is good comfortable
church and school house. stores one blacksmith shop
and Woodman Hall located Mr.. Johnsons land but
owing to his dealings and his encouragement of public
enterprise, these last named industries are owned and
operated by private individuals entirely free from rent

During the early years of his sOjOurning in Indian
Territory, Mr.. Johnson had many varied experiences
which would constitute most interesting reading matter
if properly written up At one time he was employed by
the government mail stage lne from CaddO, ChOc
taw Nation, to Anadarko and COmanche counties, in
the execution of which office he often met with incidents
which to us of this day would seem very thrilling.
j. w. Johnson was united in marriage in 1886, with
Emily Brown, daughter of Hepse Brown Of Old Mill
Creek Tshomngo County, Indian Territory, who was
Chickasaw Indian.
In 1885, Mr. Johnson moved to Milo, Carter County,
which was then Pickens County of the Chickasaw Ma
ton and settled lands which he has since taken al
otments for himself and family and where he now re-
sides At the time of his arrival at this place. there was
no town of Milo; the land comparatively wild and in
its primitive state Such city Ardmore undream
ed of while wolves in countless numbers wild hogs in
abundance wild turkey in focks of hundreds, deer in
herds of twenty-five more and antelope, were found
in woodland, hills, and plains.
The principal population of this part of the country at
that time was the Indian the illiterae negro the whs
key pedder and the outlaw who made this part of the
country his rendezvous. Many night did Mrs Johnson
sit up and and watch their ponies until midnight,
when she would awaken her husband who would remain
duty until morning, guarding their ponies from the
thieves and outlaws who often fired at him from am
bush many three times in night At that time
his axe his pow his ponies his gun and his muscle were
his entire capital but he went to work and has since
accumulated property to the amount of hundred and
seventy-ive thousand dollars.
Mr. Johnson established the post office and town of
Milo and has been postmaster at that place for the last
fifteen years.
He has family of eight children, namely May Belle,
Willie Malissa, Lola Maude Wesley Rodoph, Ezella
Marigold Eba Elihu Bennett and Louis Brown. Each
member of his family is entitled under the Chickasaw
law participation in the tribal allotment of the lands

J. w. Johnson of Milo, Carter County, Oklahoma,
twenty-one miles northwest of Ardmore is citizen, by
intermarriage of the Chickasaw Tribe of Indians. He
was born in Greenvie Pennsylvania in 1860, and in 1880
came to the Indian Territory arriving in this county with
only fifty cents in cash.
His first work here the stock ranch of Will
Gams and Murrys at Erin Springs the Washita Riv-
er near Kckapoo Flats For his services here ne received
tuantvfve dollars per month and board In the employ
of these gentlemen Mr. Johnson received much of the
training which has proved beneficial to him since he
entered business for himself

THERE are some disadvan-
tages that naturally accrue
where any one policy Of
life is carried to an extreme.
On this last point the learned
DR. Kulmitz. physician to the
King OF Siam, has recently con-
tributed little pamphlet, a copy
of which the doctor was so kind
as to send me.
In this booklet the claim is
made that all diseases are caused
by either too much excitement or
not enough
Excitement, Of course, increases
the heart beat-the pulse runs
up, the eyes begin to glisten,
thought fows-all the secretions
are active.

well, for the digestion is aided,
lungs expanded, and the glands,
through exercise, are in condition
to do their perfect work,

the bodily functions become de-
ranged, the nerves get tired of the
tension, and eventually we will
have a case of nerves" variously
known as "Americanitis" or ner-
vous prostration, with a fine ar
ray of local symptoms, covering
every sort of twinge and tired
feeling.
On the other hand are the dis
eases and complaints that come
from lack of excitement-thati is,
too much Canned Life The poor
creatures perish for the lack of
fresh thought First in the list of
diseases caused by the lack Of
excitement our learned author
names cancer, which he explains
is caused originally by a faulty
circulation
A stoppage occurs. and Nature
tries to relieve the distressed
point by sending more blood to
the spot.
Then we get congestion and

A certain amount of excitation

made cancer impossible.

yet to say just what changes the
Panama Canal will make in the

to draw the inference that it will
take much from the transconti-

greatly decrease the business
that is at present done through
the Straits Of Magellan. 1t is al
so well nigh certain that it will
have no good results for some Of

METHODIST CHURCH

The first Methodist church in Amer ica was dedicated in New York t46 years ago today, Oct 30, 176s. The members of the Wesleyan body found ed the first society tn New York in I766, and two years later completed their first religious edidoe. In ITS, when the first conference was held in Philadelphia. the society had scattered churches in New York, PennsyIva11a, Virginia and other states, and ten preachers, representing 1,16o members, assembled in the Quaker City. The clergy were ft1nerants, mostly of Eng ish descent In 1784, after the revo- 1lItion, the necessity for the formation of an independent body was recog- nized, and sixty ttdnerant preachers met in conference and organized the Methodist Episcopal Church. This conference was held in Baltimore. Ac- cording to the 1910 census of the Unit ed States, there are now fifteen dis tinct Methodist bodies, with 64,7o1 church organizations. and 5,74s, ,83S communicants. >~The Methodist Epis- copal church is the strongest numer- icaIly, with nearly 3,OOO,Oo commu- nicants. New York alone has more than 150 Methodist congregations, in cIuding German, Swedish, Italian, Norwegian and African churches.
