to keep the mind busy as the plan

(The Argonaut)
A young man from sunny Italy
was testifying in the Cross Country

in which he was plaintiff, and, true
to his race, he was very excited and
talking as fast as his knowledge of
the English language would permit.
Looking down at the stenographer,
he noticed for the first time that
jhis testimony was being reduced to
I writing (the reporter was trying his
'best to keep up), and thereupon be
j gan to talk faster than ever, until
j finally he burst forth at the re
porter; don't writ-a-(so fast; I
canta keep up with you."

dle of Oii Mo,,ey.
IS RATED AT FIVE MILLION
Lived Simple Life While Millions
Were Accumulating — Invested
Many Thousands in Liberty
Bonds During the War.
Muskogee.—Jackson Burnett, Okla
| bourn's richest Indian, has gone to
J Kansas City to have a Hing at metro
j politnn luxury, If he finds that he
! can stand it, Barnett will make It
permanent—with the consent of the
United States government, of which
he Is a ward.
Barnett until recently lived In a
two room block house at Ilenryetta,
thirty miles from Muskogee, wore
cheap clothes, smoked cheap tobacco
and didn't even own a phonograph—
which is an odd way to live for «Hie
rated as worth $5,0(H),0<)0. While at
Ilenryetta Barnett was well satisfied
in his two rooms, and let his guardian,
attorneys and agents of the Indian
agency In Muskogee and Washington
worry about the millions flowing from
oil wells on his property.
His wants were few and the money
went into the banks of Oklahoma on
deposits made by the Indian agency
to his credit.
Bought Liberty Bonde.
When the war was on thousands of
dollars of his money went into Lib
erty bonds and War Savings stamps.
Contributions were made to institu
tions of learning, and Jackson lived
tlie simple life, never going( more
than a few miles from his cabin.
Then lie met Mrs. Anna Laura
Lowe and they married. "Kidnap
ing," is what Barnett's agents called
il. Barnett was held under restraint
until Victor M. Loeke, Jr., became
superintendent of the Indian agency
in Muskogee. Locke decided:
"A wealthy Indian lias as much
right to spend his money us a wealthy
white man."
Barnett and Ills wife and her daugh
ter sought to make a dent In the $5,
(MHi.otM.) pile. Mrs. Barnett said her
husband needed a change, and the
government consented to a vacation
in Canada. After that vacation the
Italian was unhappy for the first time
in Ids life and refused to go back to
tlie cabin and cheap clothes.
Let Indian Decide.
"We are going to let the Indian him
self decide where lie wants to live,"
Superintendent Loeke. said. "If be
