Dad and have been down to Mount
Vernon, and had mighty solemn time.
At Mount Vernon we found the old
house where George lived and died
where Martha told him to wipe his feet
before he came in the house, and saw
that things were cooked properly. We
saw pictures of revolutionary scenes
and men of that period relics of the days
when George was the whole thing around
there. We saw the bed on which George
died, and then we went down TO the ice
house and looked through the fence and
saw the marble coffins in which George
and Martha we're sealed up. Say, old
man | know you haven't got much rev
erence, but you couldn't look through
that fence at what remains of the father
of his country without taking of your

though II affected him much. but there
at Mount Vernon, standing within eight
feet OF the remains OF George Washing
ton, he just lost his nerve. and bellered,
and felt solemn myself, like had been
kept in after school when all the boys
we're going in swimming. If a negro had
not asked dad for a quarter know dad
would have got down on his knees and
been pious. but when he gave that negro
o swift kick for butting in with a COM
mercial proposition, in sacred moment,
dad come to, and we went up to the house
again.
Dad said what he wanted was to think

farmer. instead of general and presi-

II we thought of him getting up in the
morning, putting on his old farmer pants
and shirt, and going downstairs in his

couldn't get up meanness enough to play
any trick on dad, but picked up a sort
of a horse chestnut or something, with
prickers on IL as sharp as needles, and as
we were getting on the trolley slipped
It down the hack Of dads pants, near
where his suspenders button on, and by
the time we sat down in the car the horse
chestnut had worked down where dad Is
the largest, and when he leaned back
against the seat he turned pale and wig

Santa Fe trail through Oklahoma.
Near Mineral. in Western Beaver
county, are still some remnants Of old
Camp Nichols, which was establishe
by Kit Carson in 1865. who at that
time was brigadier general in the
United States army This was the
only army post along The Santa Fe
trail in Oklahoma. and at that time
il occupied site on mo Mans Land.
General Carson was in command Of
the forces in New Mexico and South
ern California, the latter at that time
a territory. The buildings at Camp
Nichols were constructed Of native
stone and were in use about FIVE years
following the time of construction.
Camp Nichols together with the
Kansas forts at cara. Larned. Dodg
and Aubrey formed the chain of mill
tary protection along the great trai
for the transprairie commerce whic
passed back and forth over that his
