MYSTER|OUSLY SHOT
Fired on Twice by Two Men in
Ambush, He Says-Wound-
ed in Hip.

With a gunshot wound in his right

favorftism to a street railway company
In thirty-six cases against this COM
pany. he said. the claimant had been
satisfied with the verdict.
Taking up the allegation that Charles
A Douglas had indorsed his note. JUS
tice Wright said this transaction had
been purely a personal one to enable
him to become a director in the United
States Savings Bank, and that the note
had been indorsed by other officers Of
the bank. There was no relation what
ever. he said, to the fact that Mr.. Doug
las represented a street railway COM
pany.
Justice Wright said he at first hest
tated about becoming a director of the
bank. but was told and subsequently
confirmed the fact that other justices
Of the Supreme Court of the District
had become interested in financial insti-
tuuons. and he saw nothing wrong in
his investment.
Calls Charge Untrue.
The justice said further that the
charge that he had sent William E. Am
orose to Julius I. Peyser to have his
note discounted while Peyser had liti-
cation pending in the court was abso-
luteiy untrue. Ambrose, he said, had
never asked anyone to discount his
note, nor had Ambrose ever had
Wrights note in his possession, except
when he became attorney for the pur-
chaser of the assets of the Sealed Pack
fge Ice Company, in which Justice
Wright was a stockholder
Justice Wright read his statement in
clear, firm voice and without evil
dence of embarrassment. The commit
tee will take the statement under ad-
Nisement and may cross-examine JUS

in the statement will also be given op-
portunity to be heard again, IL they
desire to testify on any of the answers

coal in the house, but l think many
people who live in mansions might

the treatment she had received at
the hands of the United Charities this
winter when she was in very destitute
circumstances.
Mrs. Rose was not at home, but
George, a boy of Is, admitted me and
told me he was taking care of the
house and baby sister until mother
came back.
George and l became friends at
once. He is such nice, clean boy,
with fine eyes that have way of

the children are at school.

POLlTENESS PAYS.

Perhaps we are too apt to regard
pOlteness as a mere veneer. The
pleasant smile, the spirit of helpful.
ness, the ready sacrifice are not of
the exterior alone.
A good manner, like the good ma,
ture that is a part of it, is not a
thing to be thrown off with a dress
coat. 1t Is of the man as the aroma
Is of the rose.
The polite man is at tremendous
advantage. He can win favor and for
tune under circumstances where the
loose-mannered and slovenly-spirited
is left to srumble in failure. 1t Is
not altogether because of his polite
ness. 1t is chiefly because of the
sterling character that lies back of it
and gives it birth.
Politeness is good capital in any
business. A Cleveland street car con-
ductor has proved it so, and so has
every other man who ever made good
manners a part of his equipment.
This conductor gave little better
service than he was supposed to be
paid for. He was careful of the com
fort ana safety of the children, the
ladies, the old men and the cripples
who rode on his car He met queru-
lous complaints with pleasant smiles
and kindly words.
He collected no more fares for the
company than any other conductor.
He was no more efficient and faithful
in other respects perhaps than hun
dreds OF his fellows.
But, somehow, that advantage was
sufficient. In his kindness to his pas

GREAT WORK EXPECTED.

In order that the spirit of the pro-
visions of the school law, which be-
came effective January first of this
year, be carried out, the teachers of
this county will attend the Central
State Normal School at Edmond, Okla
homa, the coming summer 1t is a ten
weeks term, beginning May 26, but
can be broken into terms of four, six
and eight weeks. Full credit work will
be given for the time the teachers are
in attendance, and to those who are
interested in the conditions which will
prevail after January l, 1916, this cred
it for attendance is very important.
1t is recognized that one of the best
school men of Oklahoma presides at
Edmond. The people of Ardmore and
Carter County know something of his
efforts The enrolment has just about
doubled the past three years, and in
addition to this, new buildings have
been added and many say that the
grounds surpass, in appearance, any
city park in Oklahoma. The surround
ings for the teachers are the best.
The grounds are beautiful.
Board and room can be had for
from $2.75 to $500 week, the aver
age price being about $3.50. Teachers
who have attended both at Edmond
and other places in Oklahoma, say
that it is true that board can be had
cheaper at Edmond than at any school
town in Oklahoma.
Ordinarily June is the crowded
month, for this reason the teachers
of Carter County have chosen the
month of July to attend, the body of
teachers will go July 6. Those teach
ers who have work for the summer,
will attend earlier.

Teachers and others who are inter
asted should communicate with the

nation. The county superintendent is |
looking forward to a strong repre-
,entation of teachers from this county |

expressed themselves, say that they

months of their professional
experience.

BENCH. APPOINTED TODAY.

w. r. Bleakmore was appointed to-
day associate justice of the supreme
court of Oklahoma, to succeed the late
Judge Stillwell H. Russell. A. C. Cruce
arrived here today at l o'clock and
brought Judge Bleakmore's commits
sion with him. Acceptance was made
and Judge Bleakmore will leave to-
night or tomorrow for Oklahoma City
and will take the oath of office at
once This will necessitate his resigna-
tion from the office of county attor-
ney and his withdrawal from the race
of county attorney.
Andy Hardy, assistant county attor-
ney, will, in all probability be made
county attorney. He has been in the
office since Mr.. Bleakmore was elect
ed and is well acquainted with the
cases on the docket. 1t is certain that
Mr.. Hardy will enter the race for
county attorney.
Whether Willard Bleakmore will
enter the race to succeed himself on
the supreme bench, is not known, but
the chances are that he will. Judge
Bleakmore is conceded TO be one of
