The American
Model
Choctaw Indian Chosen by Fretch
Sculptor for Statue Of
American Fighting Mar"

A Choctaw Indian, Otis w. Leader
of Oklahoma, has been chosen by an
eminent French sculptor as model for
his statue of "the American fighting
man." A brief resume of Leaders,
service in France amply warrants his
designation as a ''frst-class fighting
man" and his unmixed American blood
justifies his selection as a typical
American.
There can be no question of amer
tca's pride in her aborigines, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Indian,
who was cordially hated by the pi-
oneers and shamefully despoiled and
exploited by the successors of the pi-
oneers, has become in the present gen
GRAFTON a popular, honored and Justly
respected citizen He has proved his
merit. Since the white man has ceased
to accelerate his deterioration the In
dian has ceased to be a vanishing
race" He has become an assertive
citizen, standing on his own feet and
making his own way. And when
here was war the Indian of today
fought with all the courage and grim
determination of his painted ancestors.
The French sculptor made a wise
choice when he selected Private Lead
er as his type specimen of the amer
ican soldier. 1t is a fitting tribute to
the red Americans who fought SO vail
antly for white civilization and no
white American will begrudge the
honor.

said:
Here's a lucky stone I've had for
years. Can you tell me what it is and
if it's worth anything"
Mr.. FrenZer smiled and took the
stone But it wasn't one of those
smiles that won't come off. 1t vanished
in short order. For the jeweler, after
a few simple tests, could give shrewd
guess at what Johns lucky stone real
ly was. He said to John:
"It's a ruby. And it's big one.
guess it's good one. But you'll have
to have it cut to find out what it's
worth. What you want to do is to
take it to Chicago to lapidary anu
have it cut"
John thanked the jeweler and
walked out of the shop in daze'
And the more he thought about Things
the more dazed he got. Take it to chi
cago and have it cut!" The jeweler
might as we'll have told him TO take II

But John had not been here sixteen
years without assimflating falr
amount of Yankee shrewdness, ana
after much hard thinking he went to
Rev Father William F. Rigge of
Creighton university Father Rigge is
something of scientist himself and
quickly saw that the stone was in all
probability ruby of great value. He
also realized that John was in a good
deal of the plight of a hungry hobo
with nothing but q thousand-dollar bill
SO Father Rigge called in Edmund
Mccarthy, a lawyer They told him
the whole case up to date. John of
fered Mccarthy one-fourth of what
the stone might bring if he would take
charge of the whole affair and manage
the cutting, polishing and marketing.
Mr. Mccarthy accepted the offer
way to Chicago.
''We did not sleep a wink that night
on the train, I can tell you" said Mr.
Mccarthy. 1--WE both kept guard.
