Sacred to the memory Of
MARY ELIZABETH MIN.
Vile of Capt. Charles Min.
Died May 26, 1914 Aged 81 Years

Capt. Mix was one of the earliest com
manders Mt the Old frontier military most
OF Fort Gibson. |. T.. when this ,KbeIr
vast region. now under the influence Of
civilization, was wilderness, occunipS
only by willy beasts and rowing bands of
wild Indians.
Capt. Mix had plenty of work to do ia
aHordinS protection TO the scattered
whites and in resisting the wild tribes Of
the plains, with whom he was in almost
constant turmoil The captain had come
from the east, and was accompanied BY
his wife. She was q fine horseback rider
and enjoyed outdoor life, often riding out
with her husband on the prairies arouna
Fort Gibson, engaging in the hunt and
sometimes on expeditions against the In
dians, thus making life TO her an almost
continual round of romance and adVea-
ture.
In one of the military expeditions
against the fierce Sioux, in which several
companies of the United States troops
were engaged, Capt. Mix was ambusAea
and killed with number OF his eam-
mand. The sad news seemed to have
changed the whole tenor of the life OF
Mrs. Mix. who was inconsolable for the
loss of her husband and companion. She
bro0ded over the matter, ana came to the
conclusion to revenge the tragic death
OF her husband. She assumed male Eartf
ana never missed an opportunity To l0in
an expedition against the Sioux 10 fghE
them, being daring and reckless almost
to madness, distinguishing herself Ii
many a hard and bloody fight.
Mrs. Mix in her male disguise as seaut
continued her warfare of revenge for
about eight years, undergoing many
hardships and dangers and becoming MOI,
ed for reckless bravery and good fortune
so that she attracted attention of head
officers of the army and others.
In one of the expeditions against the
enemy the whites were ambushed, some
killed and others captured, among the
latter being Mrs. Mix. She managed 10
escape from her captors, and after a
long journey through the wilderness ia
winter weather reached the fort ia a
famished and almost dying condition,
when her sex became known. Although
possessing a strong constitution, abe
never recovered from her Journey
through the wilderness, becoming n phys
ical wreck, and died at the fort about
u year later.-Eort Gibson Post.

NO SPIRIT OF LOVE.
II Does Not Dominate the National Lise
of Japan.

of Japan.
The boys and girls, the young nea aad
young women, of Japan do love each 9th
er, | suppose, but one never sees the
slightest shadow of evidence to prove ii.
The spirit of love does not dominate ths
national life as il does in America and
che countries of Europe. Japan's poets
do not sing of love; her story-writers tell
no tales of love that can thrill an Angle.
Saxon heart, and her artists paint 30
pictures Of love that can reach the An:kEz
Saxon understanding. Now, considering
all this, how can there be such thing
as "a good old summer time in this lana
of the sunrise? And yet there is, and 1t
is especially delightful in its way, 100,
because the japanese are a nation Of
feasters aud picnickers, of nature lover"
and world beautifiers, and if one can ONLY
lose sight of the fact that everywhere ege
goes the poor little women toddle meeklF
along behind the men, who stalk pom
pOusly ahead as If they owned the eartb,
one may almost enjoy ones self.
