The Old Press Agent ly KKANK Tltiri' Amur Oakley was the producl of the old lime preu niirnl, bill once ahe bit Ihe hand Ihn'. pelted her u prominence. "Little Hure Hhol" tiinird her itunx on Uint which mnde her. Hhe turd ft nirliiK of nrwa pnier ftcrou Uie country. Annie wna the world! grenlral woman marknman of her lime, probably of nil time. Her face hnn been revived by "Annie Clet, Your dun." now plnylnir on llrondway. Hhe wna iW of lluffnlo lllll't Wild Wel nl Uie turn of the cen tury. Annlefc ftklll wnx her own but her fare wu Uie creation of n maater pretm agent, Major Jamea M. Uurke. lie ilao "made" Uuffnlo Hill. Being toa ox a crack ahot, Annie had tmllnlnra. When one of them fell Into Uie nrw In unfavorable light, youngatrra of Uie preaa con fuaed her with Uie genuine Annie and got Uielr pntiera Into Uouble. Annie Uxik lo Uio ruad to collect b-'m from thoae who had lauded her lo famo and fortune. Preu men of thai day looked upon H u ft shabby repudiation of oorl of llceiue which preaa agrnu grant ed Uie preu In behalf of Uielr ellenla: In return for which they pre-empted plenty of audi license for Uienuelvex. Annie collected all of tlx cent from my paper. When I wax ft preaa agent and ragged Imprexarlo several Wild Weal ahowa toured the country. There were Col. William K. Cody, "Buffalo Wll"; Major Gordon Llllle, "Pawnee Hill"; Colonel Cummlnx' show and Miller llroa.' 101 ranch. All exhibited In great open areas with only canvas aldewnlls and canopied covering for Ute customers. A greater shot than Annie Oakley was Johnnie linker. Cixly's foster son. I last saw Johnnie when we lranrd over the fence surrounding Buffalo Hill's grave, looking down on Denver, and discussed with Kred Iionflls Wyoming's scheme lo move the old scout's grave lo Cody, Wyo ming. The old time press agent was s great an Innlltutloii as the show llsrlf. Major Uurke was a master but not Uie peer of them all, P. T. Bar niim's Tody Hamilton wna ns great. As lale as my day the lovable liars carried on the tradition. All were Uio predecessors of those gen tlemen who now oierate from Ivory towers nt high retainers under the title of public relations' counsel. My brst friends among Ihem were Dex ter Fellows. Doe Waddell. Lester Thompson and Ed Norwood, who In vented "Dlggledy Don." Of these, l)cx Fellows was tops bul lo mo Doc Waddell best cx . empllfled Uio crnft. Ho wore Uie uniform, so lo spenk. Ills garb typi fied his profession. The most con spicuous purl of It was Uio gay ker chiefs which he wore In place of collar and tie, Asked why lie wore Uiem, he replied, "because everybody else wears collar." That retort ex presses the whole philosophy of Uie old press agent. Ills aim was to do the unusual mid conspicuous thing. I first mot Waddell lu days when I silt besldo David Delnsco, Wlnchel Bmllli, Jerome Kern, John Ooldcn and Uio minstrel kings and saw them put the finishing touches on their producl Ions which wero yet to be seen on Broadway. Days viien I stayed Into the night In some bar's back room with Victor Herbert and his cello. Billing Bull was befuio my lime, hul I had a grunting octiunlntiinco with Clcriinlmo, vicious Apache In dlnn chief and raider, who was paroled , 111 Col. Cummins' custody for palefiuicH to aeo at the Pun American In Buffalo In 11)01. They pinned these stories on Doo Waddoil way back then: A squaw was taken nick mid an ambulance on inn to take her to a hospital. Quick as a wink Doo saw the chance for nationwide publicity He told reporters thai Oerohlmo had an argument with Uie squaw "and she got hurt." The story was printed with pictures and put on Uie press wires. Government ngrnts showed up ami Cummins had hard time to keep Geronimo with the outfit. Doe then went with Bostock's nnl mal show. He conceived the bright idea of having a boa constrictor "escne" nnd offered n $WKJ reward for Its return. Hlorlrs about the snake spread for days. II was "seen" In nil parts of Buffalo. Ponple were a aid lo go out nl night. The pub licity gut hoi and had to be ended. Doc sent two showmen to ft swamp with ft valuable boa constrictor to make fake capture so Buffalo could slrep again. The snake got away from them and w-aa recovered by two genuine captors who produced II and de manded the reward. Doc was "at liberty" again. Things arc more serious and less phony today, people are moro so ulustlcated nnd editors more fussy but lot of fun and glamor passed out with Uie old Unit preu agent. A father anil sou from Han DIcko who pleadrd guilty U) forging sev eral checka hero earlier this week win d sentenced to long terms lu the Oregon statu penitentiary this morning by Circuit Judge Uuvld K. VaiiUriibcrg. Harold Charles, 47, waa handed a lb-year sentence and his sou, Arthur Charles, 'itt, seven years, Both admitted forging Ihe iiiiino of Dr. George If.

The young muii said lie waa on proba tion from two-year Michigan pri son sentence for forgery. After passing sentence on the eldrr Charles, Judy.c Vandruberg told the man thai ft "father who would do whul you have admitted line uiislslliig his son toigr checks) doesn't deserve lo be out In public anytime. Ihe elder Charles told a deputy Inter thai ho "deserved the 15 y-ars. " Donald Willurd Cox, 21. who pleaded guilty to burglary, was sen tented to two years In prison this moinliig. He udmltud being In gang of young boys and girls that robbed several service stations and other bunlness buildings here In the past few monllis. Cox also admitted raping two minor girls, crimes which have not been retried. An 18-yenr-old boy who was with Cox 111 the burglaries and other crimes was put on probation for five years because of hln age. The yo.ith, Samuel John Pool, had also pleaded guilty to burglary. Pool, after being given five min utes lo "think It over." furnished the court with the name of a man whom he said had been making a good buslnesa of buying beer and liquor for minors. Conditions of Pool's probation In- nunc oriers thai he not smoke, drink, frequent drinking places, that he work steadily and that he be at home every night at 10 o'clock. The boy admitted burglarlrlng a service station operated by a brother-in-law. who has offered to lake him Into his home to live. A third youngster In the tame burglary ring, tonard Lee Brown. 17, was given a Juvenile court hear ing yesterday afternoon, and was remanded to circuit court where he may stand trial. Morals charges are also held against Brown. In This- 'Din Views 1 ...... (Continued from Page Onei less you put your enemy out of buil ursx at the first sudden stroke, he II COMK BACK AT YOU. IN the lust wur, poison gus wus not used on a major scute anywhere In the world. Why? The answer Is simple. Everybody hud poison gas.
