OKLAHOMA's BUSINESS WOMEN.
New Workers. story of Smart One
From Tint State.

From the New York Sun.
A New York grain man went down to
Oklahoma last month and brought back a
choice collection of territory stories He
was telling some of them at the Union
Club the other night.
The thing that impressed me most, out
side of the grain business" he said, was
the practical ability of the women down
there. I've heard great deal about the
clever business women here in New York.
but 1 never happened to come in contact
with any of them. In Oklahoma about
half my business was done with the wo-
men. You see, when that country was
opened up, hundreds of women ran for
claims, got them, cultivated them and are
wording them today. A woman who can
do that sort of thing is bound to have hard
horse sense. II she hasn't culture, and what
those women don't know about running
farms isn't worth reporting to the Depar.-
ment of Agriculture. Most of them are
northern women; and, by the way, the
sharpest piece of business practice 1 heard
OF was worked by q girl from western New
York. She wasn't down there at the time
Of the run. but her brother-in-law staked
a claim down near Guthrie. and. after a
while. the New York girl went to visit her
sister.
Young women are scarce around that
part of the country, but young men were
as plentiful as blackberries in June. There
ton of land for miles around. The New
York girl wasn't so very young. but she
was fairly good looking; and, filter she d
been there a week, there was usually a
! long line of COW ponies hitched to the
brother-in-law's front fence, and the girl
was having the time of her life. She made
up her mind she'd like to live in Oklahoma
and some twenty thirty young men
| made up their minds they'd like to have
her live in Oklahoma.
The two finest farms in the country
were about five miles from the brother-in-
| laws, and lay side by side. There were
| living springs on them and some shade,
and the two owners were fine young fell
| lows and were making things hum. They
| both fell in love with the girl, and she liked
! both. In fact, she couldn't make up her
mind which she liked the better: and she
| was SO pleased with both the farms that
| she felt as IL she couldn't give up either OF
| them. Divorce is easy In Oklahoma, but
| they have scruples about bigamy; so she
| had to figure the problem out some way or
other.

MUSIC AND THE STAGE.
METROPOLITAN.


The French opera company followed up
their success of Monday evening by an
other superb operate production, and
uniformly artistic cast of Romeo and
Juliet" at the Metropolitan last evening.
The cast included three tenors, three So
pranos, two baritones and three bassos
and count among them some of the best
voices Of the company Shakespeare
love tragedy is luXuriouSIy set to music
by Gounod. and is one of the most ro-
mantle of the modern school, Public in
terest was so aroused on Monday even
ing by the tenor, M. Gauthier, so that
those who were unfamiliar with M Bon
nards ability found only congratulation
for the young artist, who, although not
robust tenor. is the possessor of a voice
OF delicious quality and artistic finish
M. Bonnard is not sensational artist,
but his singing IS marked with the best
of taste; his phraslng and pianissimo
work admirable, and his conception Of
the role, highly artistic, both from mu-
sical and dramatic standpoint. The bal
cony scene was finished with grand
thrilling climax, and earned him an en-
thusiastic reception. The Juliet of
Nine. de Montjau was an ideal charac-
terization of the part, beautiful Of face
and figure, and blonde in type. Nine
de Montjau made decided impression on
the audience with her fascinating per-
sonality, as well as by the beauty and
quality of her voice, and her part in the
long duet with Romeo In the fourth act
was seldom if ever excelled. In this num-
per also Bouxmann was again fine, his
F'riar Laurent being one of the most inn
pressiye offerings of the evening both
his musical and dramatic ability being of
the highest order
The Stephano of Madame Jarrie reveal
ed a bird-like quality of voice. a petite
figure, and an appearance that was pleas
ing to look upon M. Rossel. as Mercu-
ito, made an admirable impression, and
possesses q rich and sonorous baritone
voice The last act after an elaborate
orchestral movement describing the sleep
of Juliet, takes place in the tomb of the
Capulets. and gives the librettists the
scope of improving on Shakespeare in
the prolonged duet and death agony with
Juliet
The audience last evening was hardly
what 1t should have been, considering the
aggregation of artists who are appear
ing here. but musical appreciation ran
high, and the artists were received and
listened to with discriminating attention.
The Faust matinee today and the all
star cast tonight promise to eclipse any
thing heard here in the operatic roper
tory.
The French Grand Opera company will
close their brief but brilliant engagement
at the Metropolitan opera house with two
performances today. Gounod's Faust.
with Bonnard as Faust, Bouxmann as
Mephistopheles and Mile Berthet as Mar
gaerite, will be presented at the matinee

Camp Parang. Philippine islands, in
which he speaks of some Of our newly

reference to them should bring blush of
shame to any imperialist who may be

among other things:
THE sultan of the Moros has seventy
wives. and the dato, or chief, has five or
six; the others have from two to three.
Their religion is the Mohammedan. They
belong to the Malay race. Whatever the
sultan or dato tells them they do. When
they travel from one place to another
they go by water in canoes, which are
made from trunks of trees followed out.
You ought to see the natives run their
canoes. When the sultan travels he goes
