After long residence in Indian Ter

family and domestic life as it exists
here, says a correspondent of the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat, / am thorough
ly convinced that the Indian woman
who becomes the wife OF white man
always makes good and faithful wife,
and manifests a devotion to her hus-
bands happiness and comfort which
we seldom see equaled among women
of the Caucasion race, no matter what
their nationality. The Indian woman
married to a white man seems to think
that she must be her husbands slave,
and her gratitude to him for having
made her his wife and for treating her
with kindness and consideration is I'M
limited
White men who come here and be-
come owners of large tracts of land
are compelled for their own safety to
marry Indian women-they must have
Indian wives to afford them protection
and some of them even get rid of
their white wives in order to marry
Indian women for that reason. No
white man married to an Indian wo-
man in Indian Territory dares to i'll
treat or abuse her A man would be
an utterly heartless brute who could
maltreat a creature so loving, faithful
and devoted as an Indian wife, but il
such a wretch should venture to mani
fest any unkindness to his Indian con-
sort her relatives and friends would
put him out of the way

Reputation to Sustain.
During the war two regiments were sta
toned on opposite SIDES Of the river a
chaplain vert to work on the men com
posing the regiment stationed on the
north side of the river with a view OF
converting them. A number Of the men
responded to his efforts, and he left that
regiment and went to continue his mis-
siorarv work in the regiment the
south side of the river. After laborlng
some time, longer time than he had
done with the other regiment, ne found
that he would not be as successful Only
about a dozen men We're baptized from
the last regiment. The chaplain had a
talk with the Colonel. and mentioned the
fact that so few men had been baptized.
How many men did you say We're bap-
tized in the other regiment the Colonel
asked the chaplain sharply
..'Twenty-four. was the reply from the
chaplain
TIE colonel turned quickly around to his
orderly with the quick command. D5tail
thrty-five men at one 10 b. baptized i'm

pose to let any ore-horse regiment get
ahead of US in that way. We've got a

1t is needless to say the order was car
ried out. and by the baptizing OF the ed
ditional thirty-five men just about double
the number were christened as were in
