Oklahoma's Magic Cities.

The scene was a train crossing the
fertile prairie country of Oklahoma
The first passengers to alight were a
girl of twenty and her grandmother.
They had come to JOIN the girls moth
er, widow with ten children, who had
come down to this part of Oklahoma six
years before and bought for three humid
dred dollars quit-claim to 160 acres
The widow, and the nine children she
had brought with her, had come all the
way from central Illinois in wagon,
pulled by one horse and containing all
her earthly goods and chattles. The
journey had taken all summer long be-
cause the horse had become sick and
they had put up whole month in the
Ozark Mountains while he was con-
valescing. That winter she and her
nine children lived in sod house, as
has has lived many another Oklahoma
home seeker in his early days. Natur-
ally says the writer IN the Delinator
for April, after having heard such a
story, all were anxious for glimpse of
it's heroine, and naturally we expected
to see a woman who would look the part
a stern, ungainy sort of Of woman
But alas for our illusions. The inc. .
gent widow who IN calico wrapper and
sunbonnet had made her hegira ia a
prairie schooner, stood there upon the
station platform dressed in all the glory
| Federation-ta tailored suit, white shirt
waist, and much waved pompadour
! She had driven to the ation In shin
ing surrey, drawn by a sleek mare
Then the Transformation in her appear
ance was not so hard to understand
The farm which she had bought for
had In the world-sne had refused
twenty thousand dollars for only few
weeks before. The sod house she had
| lived in that first winter had given
place now to ten room dwelling The
eldest of her sons was now in business
college In Oklahoma City and the other
four run the farm under her direction.
She had bought an upright piano fol-
her daughters, and had herself joined
the women's club in the neighboring
village. And right here 1t is impor-
tant to note that no city is too young
no village too small in Oklahoma, not
to acknowledge proudly at least two
rival womens clubs.

The accident was caused by the rear truck of the com blraticn baggage and smoking car leaving the rails at a switch. The passenger coaches followed the car off the rails and landed up against an em- bankment. If they had gone in the opposite direction they would have gone down a twelve-foot embankment
 The train was made up of q locomo- tive, combination baggage and smok- ing car, and four passenger coaches, icluding two caoches known as the "millionaires' coaches' One of the latter coaches is reserved for women, as smoking is permitted in the other coach.
