THE POK WAH TREE.
1t Grows in Bushnell Park and China
men Like It's Nnuseating
Fruit.

There was an expression of supreme
contentment on the face of the China
man as he sat under tree in Bushnell
park the other afternoon picking up
fruit that had fallen from it. His loose
blouse and wide pantaloons tapped N
the wind and his pigtail described cir
cles, triangles, all manner Of lines, and
various other geometrical forms q. it
yielded to the fitful gusts Of wind. Ii
was chilly enough, and Officer Strick-
land, as he looked at the industrious
Chinaman, did not feel his heavy blue
overcoat bit uncomfortable. But the
Chinaman did not seem to mind i-.e
wind in the least. His teeth might
chatter, his nose might take on BLUSH
tint, and his fingers might suffer from
numbness, but he continued his work
with unremitting industry and KEEP: his
happy look unclouded. by anything
that was even suggestive Of unhappl-
ness. 1t was evident he was engaged
in task that he liked. The fruit had
very offensive odor and the Chinaman
handled it in nauseating manner. He
had fair-sized basket, into which he
threw the stones of the fruit, leaving
the soft substance which covered Il ON
the turf. His hands were besmeared
with the substance.
In reply to the questions of Officer
Strickland and a Times reporter, the
Chinaman said the tree which yielded
the fruit was called the Pok Wah tree
in China. The fruit is considered a
delicacy in tie celestial kingdom. and
even Ii Hung Chang-the statesman
that can look wise and ask embarrass-
ing questions of a personal nature
considers himself in luck when his
chef serves him with dish Of the fruit.
The outer substance, which is nauseat-
ing to the stomach Of anyone but .
Chinaman, Is made into Chinese catsup
that always occupies position of
honor at the mandarin's table when
birds nests, sharks fins and other ap-
petizing dishes are served. The meat
of the stones has medicinal property
of high value. The Ch:naman, whom
Officer Strickland called Charley" On
name which seems a favorite one in the.
nomenclature of Cinnamon, stated tina b
in China the stones of the fruit are.
cooked just as we cook chestnuts, and
that after they are boiled they are
opened and the meat taken out.
A lady passed through the park Inter
In the afternoon. Seeing the Chinaman'
picking up the fruit she was curious to
see what it seemed like. She took one
of the plums-if the sweet, luscious
fruit of the American orchard is not.
disgraced by applying its name to the
disgusting thing of Chinese lineage
that resembles it--and broke II open.
The stencil from it was so strong that,
she dropped it Immediately. She wor.
gloves which she was obliged to dls-
card in order to free herself from the
offensive odor.
There are three of these trees in
Bushnell park, but only one yields
fruit. Officer Strickland calls them
the Chinese plum trees. = Hartford

be no tramps

Here is some common sense advice
given by a Missouri editor to the girls
of his town: Don't hang around the
depot, unless you are going away or
there TO meet friends. Don't 20 to
church and take a back seat with your
escort, aud then whisper and giggle
through the services. Don't be loud,
boisterous or slangy. Stand on your
dignity; don't form acquaintance
quickly. Don't carry your heart on
your sleeve; and don't throw yourself
into the arms Of every good looking
drummer or well dressed stranger who
comes TO town. Be wOmanly; be mod
est;be thoughtful and serious at times
don't unsex yourself and thus lose
wOman's sweetest charm. Don't re-
gard your long.legged brother as q
nuisance; don't turn up your nose al
your old-;ashioned father and his poor
grammar; aud above all dent play "a
Hot Time" on the piano while your
old mother is having "a hotter time
! at the washtub with your dirty dud:
its too suggestive.

1t Is conservatively estimated that
there are a hundred tramps lying 10
and around the city, living of OF peo'
pie who work. Why dopeople continue
to feed tramps when it is known there
is plenty of work for them? The Santa
Fe railroad is bending every energy to
secure enough men to do the work on
its several extensions and take care OF
its extensive trackage, yet the supply
Of tramps has not decreased. There
is 10 excuse for man being out OF
work if he is able bodied. Tramps
will continue to exist in great num-
bers so long as people feed them.
Charitably inclined women, when
feeding tramps, should remember that
their husbands and boys are compel
led to work hard for the grub they
are giving so freely 10 men who refuse
to work. The root Of the tramp evil
is in your kitchen door: If you will
quit feeding tramps, there will soon
be no tramps.

CLYDE MattOx Caught.

Clyde Mattox, the notorious Okla
homa desperate, was arrested 10 Los
Angeles, Cal, yesterday, under the
name Of Frank Jones. Mattox is
wanted at Newkirk, OF, for the
murder of Lincoln Swinney, a raucl =
man, in barroom fight at Ponca City
q the night of April last. The tip
On which Mattox was arrested came
from Sheriff Frank Pierce OF New
kirk, who telegraphed that Mrs.
Hatch, Clyde's mother, had expressed
a valise to Frank Jones at Los
Angeles. Clyde called for the valise
aud was arrested. He admits his
identity and says he will return to
Oklahoma without a requisition. he
declares that he will have no trouble
in clearing himself Of the murder Of
Swinney, which he alleges was COIL
mitted in self defense. II never
should have left Oklahoma" he said,
except that the public was consider.
ably excited, and it might have been
necessary for me to have done some
shooting to protect myself"
Mattox refused to say where he has
been since April, He has been there
only few days, and it is fair infer.
ence from his remarks that he left
Oklahoma only recently.
