Letter from Mrs. Kate Strong.

We have received the following in
teresting letter from Mrs. Kate
Strong, an old time Decatur county
resident. Mrs. Strong writes she has
been selected as a delegate to the P.
E. o. convention to be held at Los An
geles, California, in October:
Sulphur, Oklahoma.
Dear Reporter Family:-1 take my
pen in hand to inform you that we
arrived at Sulphur at 1880 p. m. COM
pletely worn out with our protracted
Journey. At Geary Mr.. Strong asked
the agent If he could sell him ticket
to Sulphur. He said he could, so l
didn't pay any attention to 1t, but we
could never get one before. After
we were on the train the conductor
looked at our ticket and said we
changed at Holdenville, SO knew i'm
mediately that another Strong mis-
hap was up and we were in for
long hot ride. When they called We
woka thinks Zeehoka, what ride
we are taking" I told Mr.. Strong l
was glad he thought so much of my
company, taking such roundabout
ride. l told him to be sure to see
how Holdenville was spelled SO he
could remember it the next time he
come to Sulphur. l saw GOldie How
ard at Shawnee She formerly lived
at Geary. The old stick chimneys
and log houses along the route looked
very familiar to me as l saw all those
things when I went to Sloan Springs
few years ago. I also saw them
drilling for oil at Lawrence, Okla
homa, and a much larger cement fac
tory than the one at Watonga. We
got our supper at Frances. Do not
know whether it was named after a
man or woman as never took notice
of how it was spelled. They had
cold boiled tongue on ice and ordered
some as l thought it would help to
cool mine off as it had been in con-
slant motion for some time. AS we
had to change cars for Sulphur told
the brakeman to tell me when we ar
rived at Scullin as l was little hard
of hearing at the present time. We
found Sulphur the same old place,
very dry and only 600 persons regis
tered at the Bromide Spring. Sunday,
two years ago, the same date, 400
were registered there, which is
quite a falling off. We suppose they
have gone to the PanamaPacific Ex-
position or out of money. Here at
this hotel the same red pigs, Jersey
calf, two Jersey cows and one horse
all convenient to see or hear, the
chickens are all gone today. The lit
tie 3-year old granddaughter was out
where her grandmother was picking
the chickens for our Sunday dinner.
| She said to her: 1.-THE poor chickens
are all losing their dresses and taking
bath in the dishpan." Mrs. Harl is
improving, but do not think she has
treated me right as she introduced
me to all her friends with the ex-
ception of gentleman who mails all
her letters for her. Of course after
l saw him I did not think his kind
ness worth dividing.
