Tewson, in the Choctaw territory.

Tewson, in the Choctaw territory,
August 16. 1868. On his mothers
side he was descended from the
Shawnee Indians. The early educa-
ton Of the future congressman was
limited to a brief term at the old
Mill Crook log school. Before he
was fifteen he was working on his
fathers ranch as a cowboy. He con-
tinued life as a cow herder until his
twent-first year, when he became a
clerk in store in Ardmore. His
nights were spent in study, and when
he entered politics in 1892 he was
equipped with a good education that
had been acquired wholly through
his own efforts. When Oklahoma was
admitted to the statehood Mr.. Carter
was selected on the Democratic ticket
as a representative to the Sixtieth
congress and year ago was reflect
ed by an increased majority.

AN INDIAN GREETING.
The Salutation a Canadian Heard on
the Columbia River.

he SalutatIon Canadian f1eard on
the Columbia River.
Telling about the Indians of the Pa
cific coast as he found them in 1916,
Paul Kane, the Canadian artist, tried
to give an idea of their language as he
found it at that time The example
which he quotes would have delighted
Max Muller, and it may interest some
readers in this country. In his 'Wan-
behring's of an Artist he seems not to
recall any particular individual of the
name of Clark who might have i'm
pressed the Indians of the Columbia
river, but American readers will at
once think of the comrade of Major
Lewis in the famous expedition Of
1909.
l would willingly give a specimen of
the barbarous language of this people
were it possible to represent by any
combination of our alphabet the hor-
rible, harsh, spluttering sounds which
proceed from their threats, apparently
unguided either by the tongue or lip,
says Mr. Kane 1t is SO difficult to &C
quire mastery of their language that
none have been able to attain it ex-
cept those who have been born among
them.
They have, however, by their inter
course with the English and French
traders succeeded in amalgamating
| after a fashion some words of each of
these tongues with their own and in
forming a sort of patois, barbarous
| enough certainly, but still sufficient to
enable them to communicate with the
traders.
This patois l was enabled after some
| short time to acquire and could con
verse with most of the chiefs with toll
| cradle ease.
Their common salutation is "Clak- hob
ah-yah," originating, as | believe, in
their ancestors having heard in the
| early days of the fur trade a gentle
man named Clark frequently addressed
by his friends, CLARK how are you?"
This salutation is now applied to ev-
cry white man, for their own language
| affords no appropriate expression

PLUG HATS OF JAPAN,
Cherished Tiles of the VINTAGE Of Fift,
Years Ago.

There is one sight which you must
not miss when you go to Tokyo" said
the seasoned traveller to a New York
Sun reporter. That is the rare dis
play of anthropological plug hats.
Some people arrange to get to Japan
In cherry blossom season, and others
want to get there in time to receive an
invitation to the emperor's garden par,
ty in chrySanthemum time, but take
the tip of one who has batted about
the world considerably and. land in
Tokyo either on New Years day or on
the emperor's birthday On both YOU
cen see something unique in the lines
Of headgear
when Japan began to get civilized
she bought all the accessories of civ
ilization that England did not want
any more England sold her old fash
ioned out of date, narrow gauge rail-
road stock, Anticipated tram cars and
other secondhand junk, including the
then current styles of plug hat.
"The tile of those days has remain
ed the ruling fashion in japan I'D to
the present. Japan may build Dread.
uoughts, but the plug hat of fifty
years ago still reigns supreme.
"Only on such ceremonious occasions
as the New Years festivities, the EN-.
peror's birthday or possibly the racing
meets at Negishi, near Yokohama, does
the Japanese gentleman bring forth
from his camphor wood chest his plug
hat, a heritage from his forefathers
1t may be warped with twenty sum
mers, damp or green with the shine of
antiquity, but that matters nothing.
"Once this superstructure OF his
wrinkled frock coat and bagged trou
sers Is added the japanese gentleman
feels that no dignity short of a decora
ton of the Order of the Rising Sun
can be added to his person That
browning glory Of plug hat may set
tie around his ears or it may perch
upon his head like half peanut shell,
but DO matter. 1t is the hat of civiliza
ton and the badge Of responsibility
HE trots out of his house looking
like one of the ancient daimios, stiff
with the dignity of two swords. All
that fearful day he wears this hat of
ancient vintage like a crown, and in
the end he slows it away in his damp
proof chest, awaiting another festal
occasion or held as an asset in his es-
tate after death"

ARCTIC COTTON PLANT.
The Climax of Natures Irony In th'
Ear Norfh

The Climax of Natures Irony In the
Far North.
The climax Of natures irony In the
arctic Is the cotton plant says the Cir
Gle. Wherever cotton blooms, declares
the miner, Ice Is not far below. One
may trudge for 1iles through fields Of
cotton, the white, silky tops swaying
defantly in the arctic breeze. The
blossom is silky, dainty, Elusive as the
down Of our own yellow dandelion.
From the beginning of June on until
August the tundra Is white with the
cotton plant. Unlike the cotton Of the
southern states, the fiber is short and
soft, having more Of the texture Of silk
than of cotton.
The cotton plant will in all proba bill
ity some day be the means Of develop
Ing an Alaskan industry giving en-
ployment to thousands. Today, howev-
er, the cotton fields are purely decora.
Hve-a splendid sweep Of immaculate
bloom In a bleak, timberless landscape
guarded by hills ever hung In wells of
deepest purple. In great bouquets it Is
CCSSSScuSi1y ACt LII q lulucI SudCh,
while not few housewives gather the
cotton for pillow filing.
Throughout the cotton fields flowers
bloom in abnormal splendor, as be-
comes a country in which the sun
shines continuously during summers
voluptuous reign. It is an intoxicating
Joy for the flower hunter to gather
great armfuls of purple larkspur. blue
bells, monks head, primrcses, sweet
peas, beautiful purple and red asters
large as the most cultivated, lilies Of
the valley, baby breath, yellow arrow,
sage rose, pink and white arctic gera-
mum, crimson rhododendrons and gi-
ant freweed, all growing on the hill
sides. To enumerate further is TO re-

THE CAPTAINS PLAN.
His Rule For Fighting Seasickness
Didn't Work Both Ways.

A young woman who recently made
a trip to Europe decided to consult
the captain of the ship as to the best
preventive for seasickness. Having
armed herself with a letter of intro
duction to the officer. she waited until
the ship had cleared Sandy Hook, says
a writer III the Bohemian, and then
approached him. She described her
fears ana begged for remedy.
MY dear lady" replied the captain
with an amused smile. you will not
be troubled with any illness if you will
do what | tell you. Most ladies con-
fine themselves to their staterooms and
Now if you will stay on deck, get all
the fresh air you can, walk up and
down, take good physical care of your
self and try not to think of trouble you
will never be seasick"
The lady thanked him. She followed
the directions faithfully, and when the
ship ran into the tail end OF a heavy
northwest gale she never felt a qualm
She appeared regularly at meals and
enjoyed herself thoroughly.
AS the gale was abating she be-
thought her that it was due the cap
tain that she should thank him for his
good advice and. approaching the deck
steward, intrusted him with a MESA &c
asking for an interview In due time
the steward returned, saying that the
captain was unable to grant her an
Eterview
"Why not" she questioned "Why
won't he see meg'

the steward, ''but he's suffering with a

A Cold Nioht In China.

One of the facts that ineffaceably
cut into my memory during my first
winter in Newchwang was the finding
on one morning about New Years time
thirty-five masses of ice, each mass
having been a living man at 10 O'Clock
the preceding night. The thermometer
was a good bit below zero. The men
had just left the opium dens. where
they had been enjoying themselves.
The keen air sent them to sleep, and
they never wakened. - North China
