CHAMPION MAKES
ENVIABLE RECORD
AS LEGAL ORATOR

j. u. Champion, member Of the law
firm OF Champion and George. of this
city. is being lauded throughout the
entire. country. as one OF the most
learned members Of Oklahoma's legal
profession.
Mr.. Champion gained nation wide
prominence through the remarkable
address which he delivered during the
closing arguments OF the attorneys
who were engaged In the case Of the
State Of Oklahoma w. Clara Smith
Ha,non. His able and eloquent ad-
dress to the jury caused consterna-
ton in the ranks Of the attorneys
who represented the prosecution as
he brought out many surprising and
true facts concerning the case, and
which added greatly to the strength
Of the defense In securing the ac-
quittal of the defendant.
His address to the members Of the
jury was one Of the most effective
and emotional yet delivered In courts
OF Carter county. and perhaps In the
state.
He fought with that great strength
which he possesses. both mentally and
physically. and fought to win, and
won.
Az he spoke Of the trials and tribu-
lations which the defendant had un-
dergone and the sacrifices she had
made, the entire assembly, men and
women alike. We're moved to tears.
Many wept without attempts to sup
press their emotions. And as he DEM
onsrated the way the death-dealing
shot had actually been fired. refuting
in every detail the manner in which
the prosecution had described IL,
there was not a person Ia the aud
ience, and later It was proved that
there had not been n member of the
jury. who saw fit to dispute him.
Ardinore has in Mr., Champion q
citizen. who through his remarkable
mentality, his capable use OF good
judgment, and his wonderful elo-
quence, is q man OF whom she may be

GOT UNCLE ON TENDER SPOT
Small Boys Innocent REPETITION Of
Mothers Remark Not Likely to
Promote CordiaIity.

Nine-year-old Joe had received a
watch of that sort all boys have for
birthday present With it was a lit
tie chain, the whole outfit taken to-
gether not costing more than So. But
Joe did not value it accordingly. His
uncle, amused at him, told him all
the burglar stories he could think of.
But little Joe wasn't awed. Final
ly, near the end of the week, his uncle
asked, "Aren't you afraid burglars
will steal your watch, Joe?"
mo, sir" he said, and his eyes
shone with pride. "You see me go
out to the garage just before dark,
Uncle Bob. Well, 1 hide my watch
under the seat of your car Mother
said burglars wouldn't steal it if you
gave them prize for doing it, cause
it's so rlckety."

Sweet Dreams.

Like most three-year-olds Dorothy
Jane is always very insistent on hav-

she decided she must have soWething
to eat before going to bed, and on a
survey Of the pantry, decided on raw
Irish potatoes. However, big sister
objected to this choice, saying: "Dor-
othy Jane, you must not eat raw po-
tatoes before going to sleep; you will
have bad dreams"
"Well. then give me sweet potatoes
they make me sweet Dreams" argued
Dorothy Jane.

rude, and coarse in their tex
ture for hundreds Of years:
Their sports were cruel and
primitive. Bear-baiting, dog
fighting, combats with the
.quarter-staff or naked fist
we're common we'll into tn
sixteenth century, or later.
Down to this day a prize
fight draws bigger crowds
than any other form of con-
test. Even the English Wo-
linen shared the excitement
of these brutal sports with
their men-kind. They went
to a hanging or a head-chop-
ping with unconcealed en-

/ French sisters of a later day
ssook their luncheons and
Il1nitting along with them.
| Naturally, civilization has

more moderate habits. But
there still fingers in the
Veins a thrill and a zest for
exhibitions of physical skill
daring, and manhood. Now
the sports are without the
ferocious and inhuman ele,
ments that formerly char.
acterized them. They make
for courage, daring, anc
