“Lo the Poor Indian” Is Rich; Founds a Hospital
OKLAHOMA CITY, OIvLA.—“Lo, the pool- Indian,” or at least the big por
tion of the native population of America that lives in Oklahoma, is to be
cared for by Jackson Barnett of Heuryetta, Okla., the richest Indian in the
. world, who has just bequeathed a mil
lion dollars for the erection of a hos
pital in his home town where all the
sick Indians of the state will be cared
for without compensation. There are
100,000 Indians in Oklahoma.
Barnett is sixty-seven years old, a
Creek allottee who was made a mil
lionaire by the forcible allotment of
land in what was proven as the Cush
ing oil field, the most reliable produc
ing district in the midcontinent area.
Without a squaw or a relative in
the world, Barnett is the prize incompetent of America. He is a ward of
Uncle Sam. He cannot buy a new buggy without securing the consent of Cato
Sells, Indian commissioner at Washington, I>. C.
The hospital idea originated with Cato Sells. The old Indian has been
giving largely to charities, and the hospital plan pleased him. He eagerly
“signed the papers” with a thumb print in indelible ink, saying “Hurry Tim
up.”
Late in January a designing female white woman from Oklahoma City
took advanatge of leap year and tried to persuade Jackson Barnett to marry
her. She went to Barnett’s home and tried to get a place as housekeeper.
She was turned down. Then she tried to lend the old Indian some money
and finally persuaded him to take an auto ride with her. The ride ended
at Okemah, where the adventuress tried to get a marriage license, but was
turned down. She then hurried the automobile to Holdenville, where she
tried again for a license. Barnett was recognized, separated from the “vamp,” i
and after having a good grin over the escapade, was sent baek to his home j
alone.

HOW ABOUT MEW HAND BAG?
Series of Fascinating Loops Is Late
Style; How the Convenience
Is Constructed.
•
And here are some plans for a per
fectly delectable little example of ul
tramodern tendencies in bags. It is
f a bead bag, this, but a most different
sort of bead bag, the beads not being
used in allover effect or even in outline
effect, but in a series of perfectly fas
cinating loops.
Judging from what you’ve already
been told, then, you will buy your
beads already stnjng, nor trouble your
self to unstring them. Also, you will
buy them quite small, and of gold or
silver, or any of the variety of colors
that may suit your fancy, or, better
still, your costume.
Now, this bag model begins with the
usual satin or taffeta foundation, and
on more or less conventional draw
string bag lines. Before you even
think about “drawing” it, though,
mark it off with horizontal lines about
half an inch apart, much depending on
the size of the bag itself, though, In
the first place.
For the marking, choose either
chalk or conspicuously colored bast
4 Ing stitches. Then using these stripes
as guide lines, begin at one of the, bag
seams, tack the end of your bead
strand into place, loop it till it reaches
the guide line below, then secure it
. about a quarter or an eighth of an
Inch from the first tacking.
Continuing that way all along one
line, go to the line below, until you
reach the bottom, where, for finish, you
will use either a great tassel of the
beads or a fringe of loops rather larger
than those used to cover the bag
proper.
Finally go back to the opening,
make taut little loops all around the
top thereof, and pull a heavy silk cord
through to act in the capacity of draw
string. *
