quite a difference in Tulsa now

son, general press representative Of
the Al G. Barnes Circus, which eX-
hibits here Tuesday, August 10.
"Do you remember the trail across
the pasture one had to walk to get
up town from the Frisco station?
Remember the country road down
Main street and the big ditch washed
through its middle?
Surely there must have been an
Alladin lamp here to bring about
such changes. Your big modern Of

certainly has worked wonders and
has been very generous with this
Tulsa town.
Twenty years ago Tulsa was spok-
en- Of as the town in a good wheat
section. II had one railroad, OF
rather an imitation of one. Perhaps
no other line could equal that Frisco
branch from Monette to Tulsa. IL
was called the comedy line-had one
train day which was run to suit the
convenience and whims of the train
crew and passengers. A vote was
usually taken along the route among
the people on the train as to that
days schedule and the length Of time
the train remained in any town
largely depended on how long II took
the drummers to see their customers
or the train crew to finish pltCh
game. wild strawberry time always
played hob with the schedule. There
was a mighty fine patch, too, about
10 miles north of Tulsa. The train
men stopped there every day and
picked awberries. Passengers and
drummers joined in the picking.
"In those days | was down here
gathering hold-up stories for an
Eastern paper and made my first
trip to Tulsa with Heck Thomas, L.
S. marshal, and . band of deputies,
who were hunting the Cook gang of
train robbers. We found the gang
out near Red Fork, or at least the
marshal did q didn't tarry at the
scene) and lively fight ensued with
several fatilities among the robbers.
The same night bunch of cow
punchers rode into Tulsa to cele-
brate and had a good deal of quiet
fun, shooting out the lights in the
various stores and houses about town.
Didn't have to have oil In those days
to keep up the excitement.

There was a man lived ogt our way
his name NaS stephen Granthum,
lie was a. great big, raw boned duck,
none would call him hand-sum.
Bupt, somehow or wav We all liked

Steve thought he was "A pa-cer
But that mule one day he ruined

steve seemed to Ike the mule the
more, and said he was a great-un
And from that day until he died steve
always called him Sa-tuu.
One day why steve, he, hitched up
that mule and said he's goin' to
travel
And the way that mule, he started out
showed he could throw some gravel
But before they got 10 the railroad
track, Steve got him down to
Walk-m
And then, right thar, acrost that track
that mule he fell to hall1-m
And steve he swore, and raised fuss
and whipped like forty leV-en
A freight train hit that balky cuss,
that mule is now in heaven.
Then steve, he hOOfed it into town,
and met up with the sheriff
And when they'd poured few drinks
down, they fell to talkin' bout the
tariff,
The sheriff was Wilson man and
held up for him steady
And steve. the darued contrary cuss,
was list as strong for Teddy,
They arguefied and arguefied, then
the sheriff he give steve a shoV-en
Steve hit him right atWcen them eyes
that sherims now I'm heaven.
Now steve, he's chase'n through the
brush. the bloodhounds close be-
hind him,
And we an stands around and hopes

Ii will take crowd TO take old Steve
Il crowd not less than twenty-seNen,
And in that crowd therel be a rope
and Steve will go to heaven.
