LEGEND or LUCKY STONES.

Q. Can you tell me the legend Of the
so called lucky stones? j. f. G.
A. The legend of the Lucky Stones OF
Virginia is that many centuries ago in
the Blue Ridge Mountains, a band OF
fairies worked chiseling out these little
crosses which were tokens Of good luck,
and which they carried with them on
their travels through the world On the
day of the cruci1xion, however, the grief
of those fairies was 80 intense that they
left the earth and the scene Of their la
bors, and have never been seen since.
Many people, however, still find the lit
tie crosses near the scene of the fairies
labors.

are very wealthy. In the 1920 report
Of the secretary of the interior are
found these facts and figures:
The Indians in Oklahoma constitute
nearly one-third of their race in the
United States and about five-sixths
of them are members of the five civ
ilized tribes.
There are on the Usage reservation
In Oklahoma nearly 5000 oil wells,
producing from 2 to 1900 barrels per
day each, with daily total produc-
ton of about $4,000 barrels. During
the year three oil-lease sales were
held, Offering at each sale approxi-
mately 200 quarter-section tracts. APP
proximately 9S,S66 acres were leased
at these sales for bonus consdera-
ton of SIP, 11O,100. OIL leases embrace
ing 540,S6 acres are included In lands
leased for gas. In addition to bonus,
royalty is paid on oil of 16% per
cent and upward, and the same on
gas based on value Of Is cents per
1000 cubic feet for gas at the we'll.
Nearly $1S,O00,OOO were received by
Usage Indians from oil and gas during
the fiscal year.
AS to the five civilized tribes. the
superintendent receipts and disburse-
ments for the year were nearly $4S,-
00O, 900, the largest of any year in the
history of that office. There were g.
$50 oil and gas leases disposed of dur

by the restricted Indians. Federal In

paid by 242 restricted Indians.
When America entered the World
war. the Indian was willing volun-
teer. The American Indian is--or used
to be-the finest natural fighter the
world ever saw. The bucks of serv-
ice age enlisted In large numbers,
made splendid soldiers and covered
themselves with glory. Many were
decorated for extraordinary gallantry

During the war Barnett showed his
martial spirit in the only way 1t was
possible for him. While others of his
race shouldered arms and marched
away TO France. there to do battle side
by side with their white brethren. Bar
nett was too old to heed the war

while age prevented him from taking
an active part in lowering the colors
OF the Hun, he could do the next best
thing and support Uncle Sam through
the medium OF his vast riches.
When the government, after enter
Ing the World war, issued the call for
financial assistance Jackson Barnet,
answered as readily as the younger
members Of his tribe answered the
call for men. He was one of the first
OF Okmulgee county citizens to show
his patriotism In the purchase Of Lib
erty bonds, and by most liberal con.
tributlons to all Of their war aids
AS each successive bond Issue was
placed on the market, Barnett became

Jackson Barnett is the John d.
Rockefeller of his race.
He Is II years Of age illiterate and
an incompetent In the eye of the law.
His wife, white and about half his
age, was accused of kidnapping him
and forcing him into marriage.
He has defeated Uncle Sans court
action to have the marriage annulled
and to restore him to the care of his
guardian, after proceedings unique In
the history OF the courts.
He has topped OF long list of
tenefactions by establishing and en-
downing the Jackson Barnett Hospital
for Indians.

oil was struck on his land and riches
legan to pour In on him. The federal
government protected his rights. since
he Is an incompetent in the eye of
the law. Later Uncle Sam further
safeguarded his wealth by appointing
as his personal guardian Carl J.
OHornett of Henryetta, Okla.
O'Hornett took his ward to Henry
eta. There ne established him in a
comfortable home or 80 acres of farm
land. He provided him with a house
keeper. body servant and cook. He
stocked up the farm with livestock
and poultry. He saw that the rich old
Indian lacked nothing within reason.
Then Anna Laura Lowe appeared
upon the scene-white. about half his
age and good looking. Just how she
managed things nobody seems to know.
But last May she and Barnett left
Henryetta in an automobile, sped over
the state line into Kansas and were
married In Arkansas City.
O'Ilornett and Cato Sells, United
States commissioner of Indian affairs,
brought suit to have the marriage an
nmlled and the old Indian restored to
the care of his guardian. 1t was
charged that the white woman was

The American Indian never had
proper appreciation of the value of
property. 1t is even now one of the
most difficult things for him to learn.
Barnett little realizes what his wealth
really means. But he knows that he
has more than he can use and that
the money is coming in faster than
he can spend it. He also understands
that his money can do lot of good.
So he is giving away large sums to
aid worthy enterprises. He has au-
thorized the following gifts. anfe}fg'

Jackson Barnett has also made up
his mind that the injured and ailing
of his race In Oklahoma shall have
good medical care and nursing. Hence
his latest and biggest benefaction-the
is giving $1,000, 000-$50,OOO for the
purchase of the Henryetta site, $780,
600 for the building and $4,000 for
endowment, invested In United States
bonds.
OF course, the question of permitting
these munificent gifts had to be taken
up by the Interior department. Com
missioner Sells went TO Henryetta to
interview Barnett personally, and to
satisfy himself that no undue pressure
was being brought to bear upon his
ward TO part him from his wealth. AZ
ter making a thorough investigation
of conditions and satisfying himself In
private conversation with Barnett
that the latter was not being imposed
upon. but that he really of his own
free will desired to make the above
donations. Sells said he looked favor
ably upon the proposed gifts, but
would give out no statement until fur
ther investigation by the Indian de-
partment. Later the commissioner
called conference with O'Hornett
and other prominent men of Henry
eta and told them that all Of the
gifts would be allowed.
How long Jackson Barnett will con
tinue to live the simple life on his
Henryetta farm can only be guessed
