Perhaps the best known of all places of Interest In San Antonio, Texas, Is the Alamo. This famous building faces Alamo plaza, a parkway two blocks long by a block wide, In which grow palms and various trees and plants. other The Alamo Is a small building of adobe, surrounded by a court, inclosed with a high stone wall. The thrill of the Alamo comes as you first place foot on Its floor. The very atmosphere of the place the recollection of the deeds of valor enacted within it quickens the semi-tropic- sv.' Pushmatalnal 4 i Bv ELMO SCOTT WATSON OU hear It everywhere you go, for Americans have almost forgotten how to say "Yes 1" Instead they say It has become an almost universally accepted symbol of as sent. It has also become a similar- accepted symbol of approval When we say anything is "O kay" (or "O. K." or "Okeh") we mean that It Is good or satisfac double-nieanin- g tory. Not only has this expression already become common cur rency in our language (or "slanguage," If you prefer!) but it has also already undergone both abbreviation and Inversion without, apparently, changing its meaning. If you don't want to take the time to say or "Okeh!" just cut It down to "Oke!" (accent on the "o") and any American will understand at once what you mean. So much for the abbreviation of an ex pression so short that a further shortening seems impossible. As for the inversion : Consider now the hypothetical case of an Englishman coming to an American with this Inquiry: "I say, old fellow, what do you Americans mean when you say ' 'K. O.'T"-"O- h,' that !" replies the helpful American, Is an expression from the prize ring. When a boxer is knocked out, we say the other fellow wins by a K. O." "But," says the Britisher with a puzzled look on his face, "This was a little boy I heard answering a playmate who had asked him to come across the street and play with him. I heard him shout 'K. 0.!' very plainly." "Oh, that!" replies the American. "lie meant 'All right!' You know we use the term 0. K.' to mean all right or yes. It's pronounced Well, some of the boys Just turn it around and use K. O., which Is pronounced Kayo and it means the same thing. That's clear enough isn't It?" And the baffled Britisher murmurs " 'Strordinary I" But the Briton is no more baffled by this illogical example of our illogical every-daAmerican speech than Is the etymologist who tries to run down the origin of the expression and to determine who put it Into our language. Here are a few of the theories: 1. Olga K. Neviskoff was a fascinating Russian woman who Is believed to have had an Important influence on English history as a friend of the famous premier, William E. Gladstone. It Is said that Gladstone used to submit many important matters to her for her opinion and these papers were generally returned to him with her initials, O. K., penned upon them. 2. In Santo Domingo Is the town of Aux Cayes from which, in Colonial (pronounced times, the best tobacco and rum were imported. Clerks, it Is said, In billing goods to retailers made use of the phonetic letters O. K. for the sake of brevity in Indicating that these goods came from Aux Cayes and were therefore of the best quality. 8. Keokuk was a famous chief of the Sac and Foxe Indians In Iowa. He was affectionately referred to by the whites as "Ole Keokuk" because he was a "good Indian." Being unable to spell his name, he made his signature by using his initials "O. K." and any paper which had his "O. K." was "all right" 4. Back In Civil war days Orrin Kendall was a member of a battery raised among the Board of Trade In Chicago. He was also head of the baking firm of O. Kendall and Sons, which furnished bread and crackers for the army. On the crackers were the Initials of "O. K." for Orrin Kendall. These crackers are said to have been the only ones the soldiers relished and their expression "These crackers are O. K." soon developed Into meaning "These crackers are all right." 5. In 1840 during the famous "hard cider and log cabin" Presidential campaign of Gen. William Henry Harrison, there was a Whig rally at Ohio, which was addressed by a number of prominent Whigs, Including General Harrison himself. The farmers were largely represented at the gatherings and one of them had brought his farm wagon on which was constructed a platform for the accommodation of his neighbors. The fanner was an ardent Whig and, wishing to convey the Impression that the farmers generally were Whigs, he hung a banner above the platform. On the banner were these words "The farmers Is OH Korrect." There was also a hotel at Springfield, Ohio, operated by an anient Whig who placed the letters "O. K." over the entrance, explaining that It meant his hotel was all right, or "Oil Korrect" taking those words from the banner on the farmer's wagon. In this same campaign Harrison's opponents made much of his alleged illiteracy and they circulated the story that Harriron, while n commander In the! army, endorsed his papers "O. K." under the Im- - rrr7 ounoa and UNudirMtod. Fm p&rtm oi auch &a pitapla. liver pm! ofl until ll puU. tta and ( rc k lem disappear, tikis u tbo mot and YfJvety. Your io ltxka yar younger.

J d e' meaning "that's me" or "that's what I said," and as Pushmataha pronounced it, it sounded like "O'kay" or "Okeh." In rendering It Into English and in using it as a symbol of approval, Jackson is said to have translated it into the literal "O. K." Similar evidence to support the Indian origin of the term Is contained In Byington's "Grammar of the Choctaw Language" which gives "o keh" as meaning "it Is so and in no other colloquialism way." If, as it seems most highly probable, the expression did originate in the Choctaw language . y Ur-bnn- PILES Keeps Skin Young m! 1 , y x William. H.enrij Harrison that his It was the abbreviation for "Oil way of spelling "All Correct." 6. The origin of "O. K." meaning "all right" is traced to Andrew Jackson In three different ways. One of them is this : In the court of rec ords of Sumner county, Tennessee, for October 6, 1700, appears the fact that on that date Andrew Jackson, Esq. proved a bill of sale from Hugh McOary to Gasper Mansker for a negro man, which was 0. K." It Is 'said that what appeared to be 0. K, In the record may really have been a poorly penned 0. K., which was the abbreviation used for "Ordered Recorded." Thnt such a mistake, dr.e to bad penmanship, might easily have been made Is further proved by the fact that Hugh (not High) McOary and Caspar (not Gasper) Mnnsker were two frontier characters of the time and both names are misspelled In the entry. pression Korrect," well-know- During the campaign of 18,12 Jackson's alleged Illiteracy (as In the case of Harrison later) was one of the chief butts of his opponents. Seha Smith In a series of letters written to a Maine paper under the name of Major Jack Downing Is said to have originated the story thnt Jackson endorsed his paper "O. K." under the Impression that It was the abbreviation for "Oil Korrect" (As previously stated, this same canard was ap parently revived and used against Harrison in IS 10.) The third way In which the origin of the ex pression is traced to jacuwm involves nis friend ship with the famous Choctaw Indian chief, Pushmataha. Jackson and FuHhnintnhn had fought together a?alnst the Creeks In 1812 V, and Jackson frequently heard the Indian chief use an expression, "si IIoKa," to end all state- merits or to winu up a conversation. It was a and Pushmataha was principally responsible for its gift to the white man, he Is worthy of more than passing comment. In fact, he is worthy of being remembered much longer for other things than for the mere accident of his using an expression which became a common Americanism. For Andrew Jackson frequently expressed the opinion that he was the greatest and bravest Indian he had ever known and John Randolph of Roanoke, In pronouncing a eulogy on him in the United States senate, uttered the words his wisdom, his eloquence and his friendship for the whites that were afterward Inscribed on his monument. Pushmataha's Indian name was Apushlm-alh-tahwhich means "the sapling Is ready, or finished, for him." According to the biography of him in the "Handbook of American Indians," Issued by the Bureau of American Ethnology, he was born in Noxubee county In Mississippi in 17C4. Before he was twenty years of age he distinguished himself in an expedition against the Osages. Young Pushmataha disappeared early In the conflict that lasted all day and on rejoining the Choctaw warriors he was Jeered at and accused of being a coward, whereupon he replied, "Let those laugh who can show more scalps than I can." Saying this, he threw down the scalps of five of the enemy whom he had slain by himself. Later he became head of the Oklahannall or Six Towns district of the Choctaws and exerted his powerful Influence In promoting friendly relations with the whites. In 1811 when Tecumseh, the great Shawnee leader, visited the Choctaw to persuade them to Join In his conspiracy against the Americans, Pushmataha opposed him so strongly that the Choctaws remained loyal to the United States. During the War of 1812 It was Pushmataha's Influence which held them loyal to the Americans when the Creeks tried to persuade them to cast their fortunes with the British. In a council held to decide what course the Choctaws would pursue, Pushmataha made an eloquent speech in which he said "The Creeks were once our friends. They have Joined the English and we must now follow different trails. When our fathers took the hand of Washington, they told him the Choctaw would always be friends of his nation and Pushmataha cannot be false to their promises. I am now ready to fight against both the English and the Creeks." And fight he did! At the head of 500 warriors he served under Jackson In the Pensacola campaign, taking part In 21 battles and skirmishes. In 181.1 with about 150 warriors he Joined General Claiborne and distinguished himself In the attack and defeat of the Creeks under the at the Battle of Holy famous Ground Id Alabama.
