Guard Against Envy

Nothing will kill a town quicker
than a spirit of envy, regardless OF
how it works. When the citizens
of town or community are
striving to keep ahead OF each
other, with no other goal in view,
then that town or community
will remain hick village, even if
it has people by the thousands.
Fortunately Wheeler is free from
an excess of mean spirited envy,
the low-dOWn spite of narrow
minded souls. Once in awhile
one runs across petty expedition
of discussing selfishness express
ing its discomfort by striking a
neighbor or business contempor-
ary. Luckily most of the time our
people are broad minded. liberal
and unselfish.
1t will do no harm however as
citizens of Wheeler to guard again
st this insidious poison that saps
the community good will. Let us
be sure that we hail the good for
tune of our friends, that we strive
for the betterment of our citizen
ship and that whatever we may
have, or be, we are not embittered
by our failure, or anothers success.

M'NUTT FORCES
CHARGED With
HARMING PARTY
Lost 121,059 Democratic
Votes in Two Years,
Deery Says.

The administration of Gov. Nc
Mutt today was accused of having
lost 121,059 Democratic votes from
1882 to 1884.
The statement was made by James
E. Deery, Indianapolis city corpora
ton counsel, last night before the
Mckinney for Governor Club of
Evansville.
There is no use closing our eyes
to figures. We cast 121 ,059 less votes
in 1884 than we did in 1882. while
the Republicans increased their vote
for secretary of state, 20,827," he
said.
In 1884, the popularity of Presi-
dent Roosevelt resulted in a land
slide in most states. The people
demonstrated they had not lost
confidence in our President. But
for some reason or another Indiana
got out of step with the rest of the
nation.
What is the cause? I don't know.

And about this visiting between

circuses, has come to believe that the
happiest hours of the circus people
are those hours after the last show
when they can relax and reminisce
Those are their happiest hours"
he says. when they can get together
and swap yarns ."
And those seem to be the happiest
hours Of Sam Gumpertz when he can
lean back in his chair with a good
listener at his side and recount the
million and one experiences that have
been his lot-off and on the lot.
He happens to be one of the grand
est story tellers in America, as well
as the logical successor to p. T. Bar
mum. In his earlier days he pro-
duced on Broadway the play that be-
came the worlds sensation-"M

He laughs and says, Compare that

While he was a theater man and
the owner Of Dreamland, all that
means nothing now to Sam Gumpertz.
He has sawdust in his ears and hair

stunt was doped out. Merle Evans,
bandmaster of the circus, composed
music for the Morgan Midsiteers'

MEN who can think up stunts like
these are welcomed to the circus.
Mr.. Gumpertz tells Of one Of the out
standing press agents Of all time
Wells Hawks. For years Wells was
with the circus, but before that he
was with Dreamland, the largest
amusement park of its kind, at Coney
Island, a park run by the same Sam
GumpertZ. What they wanted more
than anything else was a slogan. One
morning at o'clock Mr.. Gumpertz
walked out on the heath and found
Wells Hawks lying there. in revery:
What you doing here?" Gum
pertz asked.

slogan for Dreamland-and I've got
it."
What is it?" Gumpertz asked.
Everything New But the Ocean,
and That Changes Twice Daily" the
versatile Wells Hawks replied-and
that slogan was used as the advertis-
ing line for Dreamland-until it
burned down in 1911.
Not long ago, in Miami. Fla, was
held reunion of the only three men
who worked with the first Buffalo
Bill show-and they were Sam Gum

Small, a press agent of the old school,

Of this; for when the show arrived in
Canada the baby had already been
born and was very much alive, and
kicking. So what? Where had the
birth taken place? Some argued it
was born while crossing the st. Law
renee River.
THAT set the fertile mind Of Roland
Butler to work. He got opinions
from everybody, including circus hands
and prominent local people in Can
ada, and an argument started threat
ening international complications
The story reached its climax in Hall
fax, where the papers devoted columns
to the controversy. Letters to the
editor argued whether the camel was
an American or a Canadian. Then
came the christening-and judges
were selected to give the baby a
name. AS a compromise it was called
Causa, name submitted by a boy in
Truso, Nova Scotia. He had the
honor of pouring a bottle of milk
over the baby camels head. in a ce1e-
mony that brought out the greatest
