IMELIGHT
CHARLES CARTER
1
feaLSrHSfef
T has been an
nounced by Pres
ident Roosevelt
that he will issue
the proclamation
making Oklahoma a
state on Nov 10 and
about two weeks
later the congress
men elect from the
new commonwealth
will journey to
Washington to take
up their dutle3 as
legislators of the na
tion Among them
Is Charles Carter of
Ardniore who will represent the Fourth
district in the house Ardniore was in
Indian Territory and Mr Carter is
himself part Indian lie is one fourth
Chickasaw and also has Cherokee
blood Lie is a farmer and stockman
and a Democrat aud stands high in the
community
Four out of the five Oklahoma con
gressmen elect are Democrats Until
the next general census the state will
have five congressional districts and
this will increase the membership of
the house of representatives to 391 but
it will In no way affect the balance of
power in the house nor will the ad
mission to the senate of two Democrats
from Oklahoma affect party conditions
as the Republicans have a large ma
jority in both branches of congress
The state will be entitled to fourteen
delegates in each of the great national
party conventions
William B Wilson who Is a candi
date to succeed John Mitchell as pres
ident of the United Mine Workers df
America is representative elect from
the Fifth district of Pennsylvania ne
has long been looked upon as Presi
dent Mitchells right hand man in the
coal miners organ
ization and is very
popular with the
rank and file of
the order When
Mr Mitchell stated
that the condition
of his health would
prevent his serv
ing longer as pres
ident Mr W7ilson
announced his can
didacy to succeed
him He has been
secretary treasurer
of the organization
and is in closo williaii b wilson
touch with all its affairs
Mr Wilsons career is a remarkable
one Born in Blantyre Scotland in
1862 he came to this country with his
parents in 1S70 His father settled in
the coal mining regions but was often
ill and weak so at nine years old
young Wilson went into the mines to
load on to wagons the coal the elder
Wilson had dug For a long time the
family was dependent upon the
amount shoveled by those little arms
At ten the future congressman elect
was his fathers prompter in debates
at eleven he was discharged for join
ing a labor union at fourteen he or
ganized a debating society and read
ing club in a cobblers shop at twen
ty he was unable to get work in the
mines because of pernicious activity
at twenty eight he helped organize the
United Mine Workers of America and
at forty four he was elected member
of the house of representatives over a
multimillionaire opponent He has ten
children and one of his daughters aid
ed in his election last fall by making
stump speeches for him and managing
the details of his campaign
The arrival of the great pianist Ig
nace Jan Paderewski for a concert
tour in America recalls the craze that
existed over him when he first visited
e-
f V
IGNACE JAN PADE
REWSKI
these shores It was
at that time that
two women
5 lS
f one day at his hotel
The musician was
out and the worship
ers waited amus
ing themselves
meanwhile by look
ing at all his pretty
pictures touching
with reverent fin
gers the keys of his
piano and snipping off the margin of
his morning paper to keep as a sou
venir One of the worshipers se
cured a better souvenir than that but
she said nothing about it to her friend
because it could not be divided aud
she knew the friends zeal for hunting
scalps The women waited but Pade
rewski came not So they departed
A few weeks later the worshipers
met dear Ignace He voiced his sor
row at not having seen them the day
they honored him by calling
Ah but my visit was not wholly
unprofitable said one worshiper
showing the player a little charm that
dangled from her watch chain Look
at that if you please And she smiled
triumphantly Paderewski looked puz
zled
May I ask what it is madam he
said
Why a basket carved out of a
cherry stone Dont you think its
beautifully done
Yes it is madam very beautifully
Buy why put so much labor on so In
significant an article
Ah I see you havent guessed
said the worshiper flushing with pleas
ure at the thought of the surprise she
was about to give him
You ate that cherry yourselH I
found the stone on the mantelpiece in
your room
For a moment the players face was
li
the sanic tint as his hair Then he
Baidquietlj
Mon Dion I am very sorry but it
must have been my valet I never eat
cherries
Fortunes have been lost In the past
few months in Wall street but on the
other hand fortunes have been made
there too during the same period One
of the men who have profited by the
ups and downs in the market is J
Brandt Walker who is credited with
having made a cool live millions since
last St Patricks day He has been
doing business In the New York mar
ket for twenty years but Wall street
has just found it out For about a half
dozen years he has lived in New York
and before that operated from Chica
go He is about forty tall well built
and well dressed with hair turning
gray and is a widower He has a
villa at Lakewood and a cottage at
Saratoga and as many automobiles and
norses as lie can
find time to use
Speaking of his rise
in the world and
the cause of pres
ent financial condi
tions Mr Walker
I said
I I began when I
i
was eighteen I had
150000 to begin
with My father
was Edwin Walker
of Chicago aud
thats where I come
W
from Theyve got J brandt walker
me lots of times but I made up my
mind that Id study the market and
beat them if it took a lifetime It
took just six months A year ago 1
was all in I had lost a million Then
I started studying I watched the
crops the bond sales the stock sales
I got a theory that If bonds couldnt
be sold though stocks paid dividends
there was something wrong
This country is all right It is per
fectly right for people to invest But
we want the man who buys bonds and
stocks outright and puts them in his
box They are not doing that now
Men buy to sell again but nobody is
hanging on That is why I figured out
this panic and things are going lower
let me tell you

Mirh of a Murderer
With the help of i little tool not ua
like a tin opener our burglar cut two
long slits one perpendicular the oth
er horizontal In the iron shop shutter
Then he wrenched the Map toward
him bending it with his powerful
hands as one twists open the lid of a
sardine tin Another minute and he
was inside
Quietly and methodically he thrust
precious stones and rings into his lit
tle bag choosing those which besides
being small were of great value The
bag was all but full when the jeweler
himself appeared at the back of the
shop ne carried a caudle in one hand i
and a revolver in the other j
The burglar bowed very politely and
said
I did not care to pass by an old
friends house without stopping to bid
him good day
The unsuspecting jeweler allowed
himself to be shaken by the hand
when with a sudden thrust the bur
glar stabbed him to the heart
The bag was rapidly filled to almost
bursting point and before leaving the
premises the burglar wrote a few
words on a sheet of paper which he
pasted on the outside of the shop

An eminent physician had a valuable
cow which became sick aud seemed
likely to die He asked an Irish serv
ant who lived with him if he knew
anybody who followed cow doctoring
The doctors groom said Theres Jem

the world Well then replied thej
doctor go for Lafferty The cow
doctor accordingly came and treated
the brute for four or live days and
on the lapse of due time he waited on
Dr Lewis and pronounced her cured
The doctor greatly delighted put his
hand on his pocketbook Well Laf

me replied Jemmy drawing himself
up with dignity Nothing sir We
doctors niver take money of one an

My first impulse said the doctor
while telling the story was to throw
his fee after him but on second
thought the whole affair seemed so
ridiculous that I bowed him my ac

Loaded Ivory
An ivory dealer uttered a cry of
rage
Done again he said Done out of

from the great heap that he had been
examining
It is ballasted with lead he said
That is a common Kongo trick The

of eighty pounds or so melts up ten oi

down into the tusks hollow He fills

There are a good deal of savagery and
stoical disregard of deatli left in the
east yet despite the advance of civili
zation and this extends to the so called
sports of the people Thus among the
natives of Baroda there obtains still a
kind of gladiatorial display in the
shape of a fearful fist light wherein
the contestants wear a very formida
ble cestus of steel studded with mur
derous spikes The duelists usually
big brawny athletic men who have
been infuriated for the occasion with
copious drafts of opium in which hemp
is infused enter the arena singing and
set to with deliberate intent to kill
one or both invariably succumbing
