Representative Davenport. has been
twice married, his first wife having
been a half Cherokee. and Mrs. Daven-
port laughingly refers to him as "the
Souaw man." She is a Shawnee by
blood and a Cherokee by adoption. The
Shawnee tribe sold its and in Kan

Cherokee tribe. Formerly these Shaw
nees lived in the region of the great

sreat-grandtather met and married the
daughter of Tecumseh. She was a full

Mrs. Murray has extreme Indian IA

and she possesses many of the manner

chiefs Of the Chickasaw tribe; her moth
er was one-fourth Chickasaw, and her
uncle, Douglas johnson, was for some
time governor of his people.
Under old Chief P~ushmataha the
Chickasaws sold their Mississippi lands
to the government and with the money
bought land in Oklahoma. Their sur
plus money was placed in the United
States Treasury and on the interest OF
it the C~hickasaws built schools and edu-
Gated their children. In a certain re-

In these schools Mrs. Murray taught
her people, and SO anxious is she that
her five boys shall be brought up in
the traditions of their race that she
teaches them the history of their diff
ferent tribes, and has the old Indian
cookery frequently serve on her table.
In Washington she has made fashion
able pashtoffa, a favorite Indian dish
made of ordinary hominy grits which
is ground fine with a mortar until all
the husk is removed: then this meal is
broiled until soft, meat is then added,
and the flavor is delicious.
