There are many explanations for the
modern Use of the letters o. X. The
story Of President Jackson marking
state papers with these cabalistic char
acters as a Specification of his indorse-
ment, according to Seba Smith, is we'll
known. By some punster they We're
used as initials Of the imaginary SPELL
ing Indicating in the pronunciation Of
these words. Their first use, however,
was by old Keokuk, the pacific chief Of
the Sacs and Foxes. When he sold
Iowa to the Government he signed The
deed with the initials o. K. His CO..
chief. the fiery B. II. BLACK Hawk, re-
fused to sell or sign away the rights of
his people to the beautiful land, and
hence the "Black Hawk War" Old
Keokuk passed away years ago to the
happy hunting ground of the beyond,
but his 0. K. continues to supply a long
felt want in the English language. 1t
is also stated that they were used by
John Jacob Aston as initials of a sup
posed correct spelling. Another ex-
PLANTATION of O. X. may be offered.
That is this s'in early colonial days a
brand of tobacco of peculiar excellence
came from the then French town of

course Of time any good tobacco came
to be known as Aux Cages tobacco. and
