Oleta Littleheart of sulphur, Okla.
visited in Ardmore today and paid
the Ardmoreite a call. Miss Little
heart, as the author of The Lure of
the Indian Country published in
book form, and as the author of many
fascinating short Indian romances,
published extensively in magazine
and newspapers, has won fame for
herself, for Oklahoma, the Chickasaw
nation, and the beautiful resort city
of Sulphur, near which city is her al
lotment and wigwam (homel. In fact,
so famous has she made Sulphur and
Platt National park, through her
writing, that the people of this and
other states have fallen into the hab-
it of speaking and writing of Okla
homa's great national health and
pleasure resort as "Oleta littleheart' S
town"
In 1909, Miss Littleheart represent
ed the Trans-Mississippi department
at the confederate reunion at Mem
phis. When she entered the grand
parade in the last day Of the reun-
ion, dressed in beautiful Indian cos
tune, she was greeted with 20 you
INDIAN thirty thousand people in
this phrase giving expression of their
pleasure upon viewing an Indian maid
so winsome and beautiful. Last year
as maid of honor. she represented the
SULPHUR camp at the Mobile reunion,
and again received much homage
from the paleface warriors and
braves-homage alike from the old
and the young. Young men returned
to their homes to dream of this beau
tiful maid and to write to her beg
ging for correspondence. Old men
to dream of days when they engaged
the Indians IN battle, and to think Of
this beautiful and cultured decendan;
of a race against whom they had
relentlessly fought and robbed of
their lands. AS their minds wander
ed through the past, they, too, be-
came sentimental, like the young
braves, and wrote poems telling OF
their meeting "Oleta, the Oasis of Mo
bile Bay"

ters-many of which begged for full
er information about romantic Okla
homa, the last great hunting grounds
of the Indians, caused Miss Little
heart to determine to found "Oleta
Littleheart's Magazine" believing
she can more satisfactorily through
her magazine than by letter, give the
information desired.
Being an admirer of GoverhCr Lee
Cruce who married into her tribe,
she is in Ardmore to arrange with
Prof. Chas. Evans, superintendent of
our city schools, for a story of Cruce,
telling of his boyhood days in Ken
lucky. his settlement in the Indian
country, the romance of his Indian
marriage and the romance of his bus
mess and political successes. The
story will run through several num-
bers of Oleta Littleheart's Magazine,
after which it will be published in
book form. "The Lure of the Indian
Country" one of the most unusual,
as well as the most fascinating of
books, dealing as it does with genu-
inc conditions in Oklahoma as viewed
by the Indian, is only one of a series
oil such romances which Miss Little
heart is writing. The second of
which, series, Arrow Littleheart," is
now ready for the publisher, and will
soon commence to run serially in her
magazine. In ARROW Littleheart,"
there will be chapter entitled
"Cruce" and headed by a picture of
Governor Cruce. In this chapter, Miss
Littleheart will write in her own
charming way the romance of Lee
Cruce from the viewpoint of the In
dian.
