WAY out In tho Creek Nation
we learned things o Now
" York.
Y@ We were on q hunting trip.
A and were camped one might on
the ban of a little stream.
Bud kingsbury was our skilled hunter
and guide. and II was from his lips that
we had explanations of Manhattan and
the queer folks that inhabit It. Bud
had once spent a month in the metrop-
oils. and a week or two at other times.
and he was pleased to discourse to us
OF what he had seen.
Fifty yards away from our camp was
pitched the teepee of a wandering fam
lily OF Indians that had come up and
settled there for the night. An old. Did
Indian woman was trying to build a
fire under an iron pot hung upon three
sticks.
u went over 10 her assistance. and
soon had her fire going. When he came
back we complimented him plsyfuliy
upon his gallantry.
Oh" said Bud. don't mention n.
It's a way I have. Whenever / see a
lady trying to o things in a pot and
having trouble | always so TO the res
cue. I done the same thing once In .
heightened house In New York CITY.
Heap big society teepee on Fifth avenue.
That Intun lady kind OF recalled It TO

The amp demanded the particulars.

Ranch In the Panhandle" said Bud.
man Sterling of New York. lie wanted
to sell out. IND he wrote for me 10
come on TO New York and explain the
ranch to the syndicate that wanted
to buy. So / sends TO Fort Worth and
has a forty dollar suit of clothes made.
and hits the trail for the big village.
We'll. when 7 got there. old man
Sterling and h outfit certainly laid
themselves out to be a~gvJeable. We
had business and pleasure so mixed up
that you couldn't tell whether It was
n treat or a trade half the time. We
had trolley RIDES, and cigars. and
theatre ro~und-ups. and rubber parties"
Rubber partiesg" said a listener. m
quiringly.

attend EN-? You walk around and try
to look at tho tops OF the skyscrapers.
Wth1. we sold the ranch, and old man
Sterling asks ms round TO his house
TO take grub on the night before /
started back. II wasn't any high-coi-
Jared affair-1uat me and the old man
and his wife and daughter. But they
was a ~fne-haired OUTFIT all right. and
tho liltss OF the field wasn't In IL, They
made my Fort Worth clothes carpenter
look like a dealer IN horse blankets and
gee strings. And then the table was all
pompous with flowers, and theIc was
a whole kit OF tools laid out beslde
everybody's plate.
You'd have thought you was hxed
out TO burglarize a restaurant before
you could get your grub. But I'd been

was getting on to stylish ways I kind
OF trailed behind and watched the
others use the hardware supplies. and

II got along fine. I was feeling cool
and agreeable, and pretty MOOT | was

per stew and snakes, and you never
saw people so interested,
but the real JOY OF that feast wa

was, not bigger than two bits worth OF
