TRUE SKETCH OF
LIFE OF INDIAN.
When I captured Quanah by treaty
in '78 I noticed many of his etiligter.-»
QUANAH PARKER'ed ways. Upon asking him how he
learned, I was informed that he and
General McKenzie were great friends
and McKenzi had taught him.
The Indians had the utmost confi-
dence in McKenzie. While he was
firm and made them obey orders, he
was just and made the contractors
feed them properly and give them
what was due them. When McKenzie

I intercepted him in the Palo Duro

charge. He answered by saying, "No.

Information as to the location of
the main body of the tribes I got
from my scout duty. We located them
the next day after the fight but Quan-
here from Fort Sill to take him back.
Because of the kind and just treat-
ment he had received, he consented
to return but he told me that if his
people were not properly fed he would
leave again.
So far as I know, Quanah Parker
never broke a promise or a treaty.

years afterwards. I know this to be
a fact and it can be proven by many
•witnesses. Ross' error probably oc-
cured from bad interpertation of what
Cynthia Ann herself, said on the day
that she was captured. I think she
was trying to make him understand
that she belonged to the Nacona band.
The word Nacona means to rove or
■go and not make friends with the
■whites. He was a very prominent
Indian but never a chief. Hn was,
however, leader of the Nacona band,
which wfs known the Quaha-ts.
This means antelope or antelope
hunter. There were seven of
these different sets or bands
among the Kiowas and Commanches.
Two of them were known as the Ko-
cheitakers, meaning buffalo hunters,
and the penetakers, bee hunters, or
sugar eaters. The latter were in
much discredit among the rest of the
Indians because they would lie around
the agency eating sugar while the
others were at war.
After Quanah was grown up he fell
in love with Red Bear's daughter.
Red Bear was a chief and bitterly op-
posed the union, so Quar.ah, with »
€ew young braves and their squaws,
stole the young girl and skipped
south, locating at the head of the
Concho river some two hundred and
fifty miles southwest. He remained
\here two or three yeprs. Occasional-
ly- small bands of the young people
would break away from the old tribe
and join him until he had quite a lit-
tle band.
Eventually Red Bear located him
ar.d went down with a small band to
,but Quar.ah became a Master Mason
before he died. His daughters by his
first squaw are very well educated
and seem to be women of higk
character. The oldest one, who was
a very beautiful child when I made
the treaty with him, has been a mis-
sionary of the school at Fort Sill for
many years, doing a fine work for
her people.
I greatly regret that I cannot giva
a fuller history of this man's life. 1
have simply stated briefly what I
know about him.—Quanah Tribune
Chief.
YOU'VE GOT TO FIGHT FOR IT
"Who give you that black eye Pat."
Nobody gave it to me, I had to fight
for it." Pat's victory was quoted with
pride even though he came out a
little worse. It is a remarkable
thing—this life. Its exactly like bus-
iness—you've got to fight for it.
When we say "fight" it doesn't ner-
eessarily mean with nature's weapons
or in mortal combat. It simply means
a constant application of the rules of
those things that mean progress.
We fight for business through con-
sistant and persistant advertising.
We fight for a better living by faith.
We fight for our loved ones to give
them the things they need by self
denial. We fight those things that
would destroy our source of income.
Now lets all fight off pessisism,
gloom ar.d dissention and have a bet-
ter understanding of what life really
is. Don't make matters worse by
predicting failure. If we all fipht
settle the difficulty which was done I together we will win. Happiness,

The most recent trouble recorded
between the two men was when charg-

by Albert W. Bonds.
The charge grew out of a circular

FORTUNE IN A GLASS DISH
Seventy-nine years ago a boy, then
eight years put his pennies in a glass
dish on the mantle.
He worked three days in a potato
patch. He wasn't satisfied with the
wages.
One day he saw a stray turkey hen
stealthily making for the woods. He
patiently trailed her. For days he
hunted her nest. When he found it
he took home the baby chicks and fed
them with the scraps his mother gave
him. He sold them in the Fall at the
village market.
That was his first money making
enterprise.
And he began to figure and figure.
He found that he'd earned less from
three days working in the potato
patch than the year's interest on
money from his turkey "business."
"So," he concluded, "it is easier to
have money working for you than to
work for money."
He put his savings to work He even
took the pennies from the glass dish
on the mantle and put them to work.
This boy celebrated his eighty-sev-
enth birthday a few days ago. His
money "worked" for him until he ac-
cumulated one of the largest for-
tunes in the world.
This boy was John D. Rockefellow.

THE CIGARETTE IN FOR A
SEASON OF WAR
RICHES
Riches and poverty are onjy words
they signify different things to dif-
ferent people. Their individual poinr
of view determines their relationship.
A man may be quite poor in some
values and quite rich in others. If
we accept these words as applying
only to financial wealth—the relation-
ship is plainly but incorrectly defined.
If we are intelligent enough to use
them as expressions of general values
—we must make close distinctions in
their application.
The other day my little girl ask-
ed me if we were rich. I replied sin-
cerely that we were very rich. But
I was not thinking of money. I was
thinking of family, friends, self-res-
pect, health and the capacity for en-
joyment. Money represents one kind
of wealth—but it is relatively unim-
portant compared with more signifi-
cient values without which any man
must be poor indeed.—Richard Steel.

• The women of America have no bus.
iness smoking cigarettes. But some
of them smoke. And the Anti-Cigar-
ette League is going to see to it that
they stop. A campaign is to be wag
ed. we are informed, similar to that
carried on agaist liquor. And the
race is to be saved.
The average smoking male isn't
going to get vastly excited about that.
Probably the average tippling male
didn't get much alarmed over the tem-
perance observations of pious lad-
dies of forty odd years ago. Still, the
parallel may not be so absolute as
to doom tobacco. There are differen-
ces between the Demon Rum and
Lady Nicotine which ought to be vis.
ible to the obesrvant eye. Nobody
with too many cigarettes under his
belt, so to speak, ever goes out in the
dining room to gather up the dishes
in the t»ble cloth and beat the fliv-
ver over the head with them. It
isn't done that way.
But the Anti-Cigarette League
says that the motherhood of America
is menaced by the cigarette. 3ut the
great-grandmotherhood of America
was not menaced by the clay pipe.
And if it were a matter of smoking
for sound tobacco satisfaction the
well-seasoned clay pipe might appeal
to the American flapper as it did to
her predecessor of a hundred years
ago. Certainly the cigarette is not
the best way to take in tobacco, but
it happens to be handier than carry-
ing around a pipe, and it looks a little
neater to puff on a cigarette with a
dainty holder.
If the truth were known, probably
nine flappers out of ten who smoke
do it for the same reason that the
Pharisees used to pray standing in
the streets—to be seen by men. As
far as actually liking it goes, only a
few of them get that far. And when
Miss Flapper is Mrs. Mother and
looks down into the snubby little nose
and blinking eyes of her firstborn
she is apt to have forgotten lonpr
since the impulse to light up. But
with the diet books and boiling bot-
tles and sleeping schedules and the
like there isn't much opportunity for
the mother who raises a modern baby
to become a tobacco fiend. As for
the mother who lets somebody else
raise her baby, it really, doesn't
make so much difference what she
does. She doesn't count, anyhow.
MODERNIZED JINGLE BELLS
Blow that horn, blow that horn,

Oh, what red hot time it is, another
car to pass!
Roaring down a concrete road, the
surface sure and fine.

we're touching eighty-nine.
Ninety-five the meter says,
speed laws all are hash.
Holy sweet, patootie, but we're
heading for a crash,
Toll, oh bells, toll, oh bells, keep
tolling all the day,
For another sorry dumb-bell's being
laid away.

"SPEAKING OF ERRORS"
It is not our custom to shift the
responsibility of mistakes this paper
makes to the shoulders of some one
else, but last week our patience was
tried to the limit. In lifting the type
for an orbituary, the boy ir. the office,
in some manner that he is unable to
explain, got a one line ad of the
show at the Princess Theatre mixed
in with the obituary. The line read:
"What has become of Sally?" It ap-
peared in the part o fthe obituary
that told about the funeral. Nothing
that has happened in this paper in
years has created so much comment
and as much as regret the mistake
we are trying to bear up under and
assure our readers that if any thing
like that ever happens again we will
be ready to quit and try to get on the
section. If the name of the deceased
had happened to have been Sally all
we can say is that we would have
been running yet.—Paul Wiley in Ne.
