hnrely th- result of a lawsuit that
had long been pending between Trus

According to his friends Truskett Was
of the belief that company was try

litigation was over a lease of, a tract
of oil land a few miles south of Caney.
F"bert F. Goodman, a minor Indian
, who owned the tract, sold hla Interest
several years ago' to Hugh Benson.
an 'oil man. who later dlspos'd of it
to a local oil firm for $400. Truskett
onid this firm $9,000 for the lease.
Shortly afterward the Wichita Pipe
Line Company claimed "the lease of the
I tract, alleging that It had come Into
Possession of It by l ase from nrlvate
turtles said to b interested in the
Wichita company. The-comoanv r.s-
r.erted that the lease to Truskett wna

saw this, noted that the salt was al
ways .dirty and gummy and deter
mined to Introduce a certain famous
salt shaker from which clean salt
would run freely In the dampest
weather. Bravely he started to tour
Spain for the company.
"No, senor; no est costumbre usar
mas quo esto" ("No, sir; It's not cus
tomary to use more than that" the
old cellar), was the answer of every
dealer to whom he presented the nov
elty. Again and again he was re
buffed. He began to despair when,
standing one day gazing into a Jew

The lute Senator John Warwick
Daniel of Virginia ' may be said to
have been the last of the old fash
ioned orators In the house of the con
script fathers. His fame will rest not
on his lawbooks, which were excel
lent; not on bis speeches In house and
senate, which were strong, but on two
masterly orations on Lee and Stone
wall Jackson delivered before bis en
trance Into congress. It may well be
doubted whether anything superior to
tbefu, considered simply as orations,
can be found lu the literature of the
world. They would have delighted
