MRS. SMITH ENTERTAINS.
Reception and Luncheon in Hon.
 or of the Country Club.

One of the most enjoyable so- clal events of the season was the New Years luncheon and reCep- tion given to the Country Club at the beautiful home of Mrs. A. L. Smith. After the luncheon of several courses was served, the guests were entertained by music and various pleasant and inter- esting games. One special feat ure of the delightful occasion was each one writing their New Year resolutions upon card. When gathered up and read, all were given all opportunity of guessing the writers name and of course 1t caused much merr1- ment.
 Mrs. Smith was theu presented with q very handsome souvenir spoon, this being her farewell entertainment to the club.
 The only shadow to mar the most delightful afternoon was the thought we were so soon to lose Dr. and Mrs. Smith from our city. We all appreciated the fact that when they are gone we have lost III Dr. Smith one of our most progressive citizens and in Mrs. Smith lady who has al- ways taken d great interest in our community as we'll as a so- cial leader. We seemed to see the various marks they have left in the many beautiful homes they have fitted up, also in our Audi torium. We realized then what is our loss is Tulsa's gain. We felt should the time ever come when they tire of their new home we would all gladly wei. come them back again.

 The young doctor from the Settlement was hurrying down Pug Alley to hunt up Oscar La goni, who had been missing from Sundsy School that afternoon, when all of sudden he stumbled over boylying in heap on the ground. It took only moment to discover what was the matter with the boy-he was dead drunk.
 Lifting him to his feet, the doctor made an attempt to drag him to some shelter. A few steps further on lie stumbled over another boy, also dead drunk.
 The young mans black eyes blazed. '.Let He find out who sold them this, and He squared his shoulders and started toward the nearest saloon.

EARTHQUAKE. MOST FRIGHTFUL OF MODERN
 TIMES. DEAD LIST ALMOST 100000 Italy and Sicily the Scene of Great Loss of Life and
 Property.

Early iii the morning of Decem- Der 2S an earthquake of great violence, but lasting only thirty two seconds wrought fr1ghtful disaster to the populous cities and towns oil the eastern coast of Sicily and In the Province of Gala brIa, which forms the south western part of Italy. The full extent of the catastrophe is yet to be accurately summed up, ow- ing to additional shocks which occurred up to as late as Wednes- day afternoon. At this writing estimates of the Associated Press place the total death list at 157,- 900. The heaviest loss of life appears to have occurred in Mes sina, Sicily, where 90,000 were reported dead out of population of 100, 900, and at Reggie, just across the straits of Calabria, where tlle dead numbered 40,000 out of total population of 5000. It was at first believed that Reggio had been completely engulfed by the tidal wave which followed the first violent shock. In Messina. fire was added to the terrors of the earthquake and flood. Some of the other towns which suffered heavily are Bag nara, Seminars, Santa Eufemia, Palmi, P1zzo, Gazziri, San Clio. vani Palermo, Monteleone, Svra- .cuse, Girgentl and San Marco. Thousands of reseuers haStened to the scene and Italian troops were called out to protect lite and property, while the warships of Italy and France hastened to the stricken region to assist in conveying the injured and the homeless thousands to places of safety. The king and queen of Italy y arrived at Messina Wednesday on board a warship and went among the sur vivors to join in the work of rescue. Thousands of persons were still buried alive in the ruins and were suffering slow death, while flames crept over the devastated areas, although somewhat checked by rains. According to stories of some re- tugees they were at first helpless with fright and imprisoned i'll their ruined homes by masses of wreckage. When daylight came they were able to climb over ob- structions aud escape to the open country.
 From all parts of the civilized world have come offers of relief to the stricken inhabitants through the Government of Italy, among them messages from Presi- dent Roosevelt and Mr. Tatt, who, as president of the Ameri- can Red Cross Society, promised aid. Funds began to pour in- to the Red Cross treasurer at New York from all parts of the United States.
