Geo. D. Munger, Department
commander of the ( . A. K. of Ok-
lahoma, has Seen to Cinoinnatti
to make arraagments for the Okie*
homa veteraus who wish tn attend
the National encampment at that
eity this fall. He haa secured a
large store room to be used as Ok*
lahoma headquarters, and also as
an exposition room, to show what
the boys are rai sing in Oklaboms.
This is a good idea, and Washita
county can, if she will, make tbe
best showing iu the territory. It
will make no difference whitber
the big melon, squash, corn, cot*
ton or other vegetable or plant has
been raised by a blue coal or i
fray, so that Washita gets the
credit of it. Lets get a move on u
hoys, and take the prise, if any,
and if none we will have a big ad-
vertisement.
Superintendent John A. Seger.
of the Seger Indian "chools. ariiv-
ed in tbe city Monday on his way
home from Onisha, Neb., where he
hsd heen arranging an Indian ex-
hibit at the exposition. Mr. Seger
was desirous of making a showing
of the progress that haa been
made by the Cheyenne and A rap
ahoe Indians and especially of the
work done by the school of which
ho is superintendent. He found
the Indian building all occupied,
but he secured a small space set
Hpart for the Oklahoma exhibit
and wilt arrange his display there.
Mr. Seger pronounces the Omaha
exhibition a great enccess after
having spent several days on the
ground. He thinks that Oklaho-
ma has been slow in arranging
her exhibit. The space set forth
for the territory should have been
fitted up at the opening of the cx-
position, and the early products of
the soil should have been on hand
earlier in the season. Golobie is
ow on the ground with a large
invoice of the products of Oklaho-
ma, which he is arranging in the
most attractive manner. Mr. Se-
ger will return to Omaha in a few
days and will remain for some
weeks.—El Reuo Globe.

I an v«ry sorry tn gay tbat 11
tind little sympathy from the ma- j
jonty of Germans I speak to in
regard to the war. I cannot tell
you how often they offend and
hurt my feelings by telling all
kinda uf mean things about Amer-
ioa. While speaking to a young
eoldier. who was home on a vaca-
tion, about the war the ether
night, he said: '*! would like too
well to help whip those Ameri*
cans," swinging his sword while j
•poking. Tou can in (in* nr.for their money, consequently when they
feelings, so 1 answered: "If that
would give you so much pleasure,
you may t*i<in right now on me."
I only wieh you could have seen
how he stared at me in surprise
and asked my forgiveness a hun-
dred times, but yon may be assured
those "brass button*" received no
more .smiles von d**r Amerianerin
tbe rest of the evening. Another
gsntlemau had the impudence to
tell me that I ought to look at
Germany as my fatherland, so
why was I so anxious for America4
Poor, ignorant man! I kindly in-
formed him (hat I was a thorough
American, and would never allow
myself to become Germanised.
I wasoverjoyed at reading about
Dewey's (treat victory at Manila.
Pinned my American flag, which
wssj presented to me by .a true
American on board the 3teamsnip
Pennsylvania, on my bosom, went
to tbe piano and sang national
song", to myself, of course, as no
one could understsnd them. How
1 wished for just one Xmerican to
be present and join in the chorus.
Every other house vou come to
is a wirthschaft (saloon).. Mostly
women tend bar ; in fact they do
nearly all the work, it seems to
me.
Only farmers that are very
wealthy have one or two some-
times three, horses. Most of them
have only an ox, and some plow
and work in the field with miloh
cows.
Cows are kept in barns like
horses in our country, and fed and
milked three times a day.
Women mow dover and grass
and take it home on a wheelbar-
row. The barns for hogs, cattle
and horses are built adjoining the
house. In some places the bedroom
window opens into the barn, so
you can imagine what a nice oJor
the bedroom contains.
They generally wash every three
weeks. Veiy few have washing
tuitcbiues, and some have uot even
a washboard. They have a small
board on which they lay the
clothes and rub them with a brush.
always takes them at least two
days to'wash. They eat fivt times
a dsy. Their anting is good bnt
very plain. Their table etiquette
quite different from ours. I
have not seen a napkin since I left
the steamer, neither a piece of pie
r cake like we hive at home, since
I left New York. Moat psople
here know nothing about baking
powder or canning fruit.
Perhaps it would be interesting
to some if I would write bow the
young folks here amuse themselves
and whatqu er ways they have ot
courting. But I will net attempt
to write on that subject for fear
my letter will be too long; besides,
you might think I had been en-
gxged in that business. Be that
as it may, no Dutchman for me.
I prefer any old American instead
and am glad to know that I am
not the only oue on this side o'
the sea.
It is indead interesting and a-
tausing to watch and learn their
qU'er cu.4om- here. 1 am enjoy-
ing my *if finely >"<1 can easily
ac.'iistom myself to «ome things
bu' de i ver me from living heie al
wivf. Give me the stars and
gtripo4 and I will ssk no more of
Germany.
