DUTCH TO HIM
A man drove up to a farm
house and asked a small boy
if his people ever kept travel
ers over night.
The boy replied that they did
sometimes.Whereupon the man
said, “Extricate thus quadruped
from the vehicle,stabulate him,
give him an adequate amount
of nutritious aliment, and when
the aurora of the morning shall
illumine the oriental horizon
I will award thee a pecuniary
compensation for they amiable
hospitality.”
The young boy ran into the

Come out quick; here is a
Dutchman.”

DANGER LURKS IN
YULETIDE FIRES
Far be it from.the purpose
of the fire-prevention sharks
to appear as kill-joys at the
Merry Christmastide. But—
This is the third series of
Christmas warnings issued by
the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau,
of Little Rock, in a state-wide
effort to cut down the annual
loss of life and property and
human suffering that unhap
pily attends the holiday sea
son. The circular says:
“Holiday fires in these, fill
ed with people, are .usually ho
locaustic. Light inflammable
decorations make fires easy to
start and easy to spread. A
match, a gas flame or an elec
trical defect ma> do it. Watch
gas jets. Decorations may be
carried against them by aircur
rents.The same is true of stove
pipes.
Watch smokers. Do not al
low them to light cigars inside
of buildings. (In parts of Eu
rope this is an offense punish
able by fine or imprisonment.)

WRITES OF TRIP
TO OKLAHOMA
Editor Journal. — Leaving
home Thanksgiving Day, I
came to Newark, where I spent
the night. Friday morning I
boarded the west-bound train
up the white river road .As all
who have traveled that route
know, there is some beautiful
scenery. After an all day run I
landed at Aurora at 5:55. This
looked to be a pretty town.This
is where the Menace is publish- j
ed. I decided to see through the
plant, but as it was night I
could not. I only remained here
for an hour or so. A run of 14
miles brought me to Monette,
Mo. This is a splendid town. I
k,
remained here till H;00 p. m.,
when I left, my next stop being
Afton, Okla. I staved at this
place till 9:00 a. m. This is a
very good town. This is a hay
country. They maek lots of it
*in this part, mostly native grass.
I boarded the west-bound train
at 9 p. m. Saturday and a run
of 115 miles landed me at De
pew, near the oil fields. This
run was through mostly a prai
rie country but as well as I
could tell, looking from the car
window, crops were sorry until
I reached ,Claremore, where
they seemed to be better. I be
gan to see some oil tanks and
pumps before I got to Tulsa,
where I spent a few days in
1903, but the town has grown
to be quite a city since then.
They claim that it is one of the
best towns in this state. Here
I crossed the Arkansas river
to West Tulsa. I would liked to
have stopped off and taken in
the town but did not have the
time. From Depew I went to
Shamrock, nine miles in the oil
field, as my son, Ira,and family
live in these fields.
I got an auto to drive me to
his residence, about two miles
out. They certainly know how
to charge as this cost me one
dollar. I got to Ira's about 4:00
p. m. They were not expecting
me, so I took them on surprise.
Ira was out in the oil field at
his job, as he is one of the
foremen. When he came in it
was a joyous meeting, as I had
not seen him for over a year.
He is doing well.
Here I v/ill close until my
next,when I will tell something
about the oil fields.
J. I. MARTIN,
Shamrock, Okla.
