DEADWCOD DICKS GUN

Here is the most exciting that has come out
of the Black Hills during this momentous summer,
even though it is disillusoning and discouraging:
Deadwood Dick, OF dime novel fame is still alive.
That fact is vonched for by no less parsonage than
Fred j. Croft Of South Dakota who recently had the
pleasure of riding with the famous gunman from Belle
Fourche TO Deadwood. He is described as an old man,
but spry and the ndisputable parsonage who inspired
whole literature of frontier derrng-do.
"Deadwoods' identity is vouched for by fellow
passengers He pointed out all along the route scenes
where he had enjoyed exciting adventures and the sites
of old buildings ard stage routes. But the most not
able thing he said this in answer to the question
how many notches there were on his gun.
Glow many notches? Not one!" said Deadwood
Dick And he stuck to that to the end of the trip.
So Deadwood Dick never killed a mani
After that revelation, we're ready to believe the
same thing of Buffalo Bill and Daniel Boone and Kit
Carson. We're almost ready to believe, in fact that
there any frontier, or any stage coaches,
not to mention stage coach robberes.

So Uncle Wiggilv put Roppy's big
hat in the crotch of tree and in
it the sparrow built nest where
she lived all winter. Then the bunny
with the little wooden man in his
pocket, hoped to the one and two

SMOKE AND WORK

The comptroller at the New Jersey staehouse in
Trenton rules that girl stenographers and clerks may
not smoke during office hours, and of the girls
are "het up about it.
They needn't be. The comptroller justly observes
that the lin his department not permitted,
either smoke at their desks and he doesn't why
an exception should be made of the women
For that matter, the work of the world would
probably be performed better if there rules every
where against people smoking at desks. Smokers
customed to sefobseration usually find that smoking
is hndrance to good work and postpone their in
diligence until the work is done.
Nicotine like alcohol may the fancy and
promote noble thoughts and emotions but not prac-
tical effort. The smoker drnker feels himself
effective while under the influence of the drug but
matter of fact is usually less effective Dulling ones
senses and inducing compacent dream states is better
reserved for hours of ideness and recreation.

MONEY FOR RATS

Bournemouth, England has a Pied Piper At
least, that what certain citizen is called, rather in
accurately, because he makes his living by catching
rats. The city pays him % cents per rat, and last
year. the municipal accounts show, he earned S435.
Not such fat living either, if you ask 1t costs
him S75 for bait and traps leaving him only net of
$500, about 81 day. He could make more than that
much hour in America in any skilled trade-and rat
catching calls for unusual Skill because the rats
highly intelligent.
Nor is it much of bargain for the city. Over

payrolls. Cities paying their antrat money to
make wharves, and houses rat-proof.

The seaplane cannot land safely anything but

saw bounding toward him something
round, shiny and black. It came on
with funny little jumps such as =

But as Mr.. Longears stNod at one

that the bounding black thing was

said the bunny, still speaking to
himself, for as yet he saw no one

But a little while after that, when
the black thing was nearer, Uncle

Former School Heads
Choice for Inspector Loses.

Defeat of any attempted dictation
on the part Of Charles F. Miller,
indianapolis school superintendent,
of the policies Of the State Superin-
tendent's office under Roy P. Wise
hart was seen in the outcome of
the first State education board
meeting attended by Wisehart to-
day.
Going into executive session, the
board approved Eugene Butler,
Rushville, State high school in
spector, and Don Hussey, zionsville,
as his assistant. This was the Wise
hart slate. Miller, who resigned the
State SUPPLEMENTARY to accept the
Indianapolis position, conferred with
Wisehart before the meeting.
He and Assistant State Superin-
tendent Fred GLADDEN. were said to
have backed L. o. Slagle, Lebanon,
for the position as assistant high
school inspector, a $4,000 job.
GLADDEN. was Miller's choice as his
successor, but Governor Jackson ap-
pointed Wisehart. A battle over to-

PREDICT EARLY
TEAPOT DOME
LEASE RULING
Supreme Court Expected to
Hand Down Decision as
Soon as Term Opens.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-One of
the first decisions the United States
Supreme Court will hand down when
it reconvenes two weeks hence will,
in all probability, cancel or confirm
the lease of Teapot Dome naval oil
reserves to Harry F. Sinclair.
The Supreme Court convenes Oct.
3. Oct. II, Sinclair and Albert Fall
go on trial in the District of Co
lumbia courts charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the government,
in making this lease.
Thus, If the Supreme Court an
-nounces its decision during the first
two weeks of the fall session, it may
have distinct bearing on the Grim
inal trial that follows.
Might Drop Trial
If the Supreme Court should find
the lease valid, government attor-
neys might decide that it would be
useless to let the conspiracy charges
go to trial.
On the other hand, a decision by
the high tribunal that the leases are
fraudulent should increase the gov
ernment's chance of convicting Fall
and Sinclair; although defense at
torneys will use every possible means
to secure a jury that has not read
anything about the case and, judg-
ing by oil trials already past, this
is still possible even in the District
Of Columbia.
Cleared by Criminal Court
When Albert Fall and Edward
Doheny were acquitted of conspir-
acy charges in the parallel Elk Hills
case last fall. the Supreme Court
had not yet handed down its oeci-
sion which unaniomiusly found that
the whole transaction was tainted
with corruption" and therefore lille
gal and void.
II the decision had come before
the criminal trial 1t is hard to be-
heve that the Fall-Doheny jury
could have given its verdict calling
this same transaction harmless and
legitimate.
Sweeping Principles Involved
The Teapot Dome cases were
argued before the Supreme Court
