CONFEDERATE HOME

That the many Ardmoreite readers,
both in Ardmore and other communi'
ties who feel friendly towards the
Oklahoma Confederate Home may
have a proper conception Of the great
work accomplished by the state
through this institution under the
management Of Mr.. j. NJ. Lankford,
| am addressing this letter 10 the
public.
With this brief preface | will, in
my own way, attempt to sketch some
of the most important points Of the
work being done. The Home is di-
vided into two distinct departments
, the hospital and the Home proper In
the two departments jointly there
are more than 100 inmates. In the
| Home proper. of which this letter
treats, there are so survivors of the
cause Of the Southland. These are
most comfortably situated in nice.
clean, wel-yentilatcd rooms. These
rooms are kept in absolutely sanitary
condition through the efforts OF Mrs.
Strawn and her assistant, who give
the rooms their personal attention
every day.
OF course, many OF the inmates are
able to. and through pride. do keep
their rooms neat and tidy at all times
The rooms. the lavatories. the halls
and stairway are swept and busted
daily.
Another great item to be considered
is 10 keep the inmates from ever feel
ing the remotest OF hunger. Mr..
Lankford attends TO this duty and In
this case, as we'll as in many others,
has proven himself equal to the occa'
sion. He makes daily trips TO the
downtown markets and takes partlcu'
lar pains TO see that nothing is left
out OF the daily menu that may appeal
to the appetite OF the inmates whc
deserve and get the best OF every
thing in the food line. The provisions,
whenever he can obtain that Kind
are such thai can be stored in the
store room from which they are drawn
On orders from Mrs. lima williamson,
head cook. | might rcmarl, here
that 1t is remarkable TO note the pre-
cision with which the large quantities
OF food are used with 80 small a
; percentage of waste, also most sur
prising 20 note the short time Mrs
I Williamson and Mrs. Lucy Brown, hei
assistant takes to prepare and serv,
food for so hungry veterans.
And the manner In which the meals
are served, deserve a word Of com
mendatlon for the young ladies who
have this task. These young ladies'
Miss Elya Hewitt and Mrs. Gertrud,
McNeal deserve and get great credit
for the attentive manner In which
they wait upon the people whom they

Fer the first few days after her

herself. They seemed 10 realize that
the girls whole mind as well as
body was in Il state Of upheaval. In
fact, Henry Gay. Jr., himself had
caught her weeping. silently, beside
an open window, the second day after
her arrival, when she was sure that
there were none Of this strange, new
tribe about. The sight of this "ro.

year-old boy considered her; was too
much for him and he had stolen away,
softly, sure that Iona would. rather
be left alone than sympathiZed with.
There was always something sweet
and true about young Henry Gays
instincts. an inherent respect for the
sensitiveness of others, charming. in
one so young.
This unknown. unmentioned grief
of Ilona's drew him to her. as nothing
else could have done. He became her
knight or the spot and determined,
no matter what happened, TO always
help her Mt any time, and no matter
how difficult it might be TO do so.

In Philadelphia his loud laugh was
heard above everything when some
speaker pulled gag that Chepson
liked. After two days of public lunch
cons and dinners at which this bolster
Gus laugh had attracted almost as
much attention as the comic speeches
themselves, the veterans decided to
spring a practical joke on the unso-
phisticated Chepson. They passed the
word that Chepson was to be called on
suddenly for a speech, and at his first
attempt to be funny the plotters were
to laugh in concerted roar that
would break up the meeting.
Chcpson arose and said: For two
days l have been industriously laugh
ing my head off at every chestnut and

association in the hope that l would
curry favor with them and they would
call on me for a speech. But l wore

The plotters were dumbfounded. In

sincere. But he was witty enough TO
foresee that they were loaded for him
and that he must spike the guns.
