Letter From Fred Mccoy

Ada, Okla, April 8, 1910.
 Editor Tribune:-Allow me small space in your paper to say few things about the new state of Oklahoma.
 On the 10th of last November left the little city of Green Forest, not to seek my fortune, as most people do who leave the old Bear state, but merely for change.
 Since I have been here have been engaged in teaching. The schools here are all graded and the terms are from six to ten months and they pay from $6O to $10O per month. I must say that like teaching here first rate.
 have had the pleasure of attending gatherings of most every kind, but the most unique of all are the Indian "Per- chafos." The first one to which went was on March 8. Since then I have went to two more.
 The object in having these Perchafos is to restore the sick to health again, as they never have one unless some of their tribe is sick The whites are al- ways welcomed by the Indian to attend and participate in both eating the cook ed corn and pork, which they call Per- chafos, and to take part in the dance.
 On approaching one I first noticed a large fire about fifty yards in front of the house. There are lines drawn from each corner of the fire to corners of the house, known as the dead lines, and no one is allowed to cross over these lines
 We were first invited to the Percha- ia and most all present went to the table which was the ground, with logs for seats.
 The Indians are not allowed to eat with the whites, neither are the men and women allowed to eat at the same table. After all are through eating, the dance begins. A number of Indian men first begin marching around a small tree about eight or ten feet high planted in the ground and decorated with red and blue ribbons, singing a song that only Indians understand.
 After dancing for about fifteen minu- tes, two or three will grab the tree and run and jump the fire. They claim by doing this that the devil is chased away.
 After the tree has been taken away we were allowed to go anywhere we wished.
 One Indian then seated himself where the tree was standing and beat drum while the rest of them dance around him and sing the same song over and over.
 The whites are then invited to take a part in the dance The Indians are pleased very much for the whites to dance with them. This dance is kept up till day break the next morning, after which they all disband for nine

WHEN the trees begin to blossom and the violets to bloom; when the bullfrog in the meadow warbles boom ah-boom, ah-bloom; when the ducks are flying northward and bright butter flies are out, and when the robins go housekeeping in the broken water spouts; when grasshoppers are hop ping, and bats come out at night, and ventures in your bedroom attracted by the light, when birds fly down the chimney, and hens walk in the door, beetles hold conventions in the center of the floor; when the mud is OCT your shoe tops as you cross the new plough ed land-you may count on it certain, sweet spring is near at hand.

BE progressive. Do not wear your life away struggling along in the old ruts that your forefathers cut so deep by continual travel. While they are good in their way and no doubt con- sidered safer, yet the wheels of your vehicle turn so slowly that you are left far behind by your more progressive fellow travellers. Keep annoying, and a-pushing and a-crowding toward the front. You'll not much more than hold your place in the procession the best you can do. The men at the front these days are those of brains and energy combined. You have place there if you will hustle for it. If you don't hustle your place will be taken by the fellow who does. Be alive.

Free Liver
 Remedy

It is we'll to stop a physical ail- ment at the first signs of its approach. and that is especially true of liver rise to so many serious complications. Many have liver trouble and imagine it is indigestion, and hence take the wrong remedy.
 When the liver does not store up suf- ncient gastric juices 1t becomes sluggish. and in this way .disturbs the stomach and bowels. with which it is supposed to work in harmony. Then comes the sallow pain in the forehead. the thinning of the blood. etc. A very quick and sensible way to stop the trouble as well as to sI sure 1t Is by the use of pr. Caldwelrs especially intended to promote the ac- tivity of the liver.
 Among the many thousands who have achieved with his remedy. and who are glad to make the facts public so that others can help themselves. are Mr. Jas. Kennedy. St. Louis, Mo; Mrs. s. A. La Rue Of Smiths Grove. Ky. and many others.
 These. like thousands of others, started the use of Syrup Pepsin with sample. If you will send your name and address This will prove to you that liver trouble Is promptly cured with this remedy or money will be refunded. Having tried It you. can then buy 1t in the regular way of your druggist at nifty cents and one dollar a bottle, and the latter Is sufficient for an entire family
 This remedy Is vast improvement over cathartic tablets and salts. which only do good for the time being. Syrup Pepsin Is permanent in its results. Is pleasant to take and does not gripe. It Is especially good for all those who can- not stand a violent purgative.
 pr. Caldwell personally will be pleased to give you any medical advice you may desire for yourself or family pertaining to the stomach. liver or bowels absolutely free of charge. Explain your case in a letter and he will reply to you in detail. For the free sample simply send your otherwise. For either request the doctors address is pr. W. B. Caldwell. R.500 Cald- well building, Monticello. Ill.

MAN that is born of woman is of few days and many growls. When the spring comes gentle Annie, and the rain waters the earth he complainant because of the mud and few weeks later his soul is grieved because of the exceeding muchness of the dust. In the winter he cryeth it is too cold, and in the summer he would fain join an Artic expedition that he may escape from the summer heat. When the sun shineth brightly it hurteth his eyes and when it hideth behind cloud it giveth him the blues. When the wind bloweth he curseth the cyclone, and when it stoppeth joy departeth from him and he moaneth, o give us breeze. Yes, verify there is nothing which satisfieth man. He cometh into this world cry ing, and he leaveth it grumbling. And this to is vanity.

THE Tribune modestly calls attention to the fact that not a single county candidate before the Democratic prim- ary who ignored The Tribune was nom- mated. We do not claim that any of this is due to the extraordinary in- fuence of this paper, for it was not, but it does show that The Tribune is a popular advertising medium with popu- lar people.

SOME communities think they can- not afford good roads, while, as a mat ter of fact, it is the bad roads they cannot afford. Bad roads are the most expensive burden any community can carry. The money that is spent on them, year after year, is practically thrown away, with nothing to show for it in the end The wear and tear on horses, wagons and harness, and the loss of time in getting around over bad roads, would pay double rate of in- terest on the cost of improved high ways.
