Spring AS Seen From
Many Angles -
oBy VERNON l.. sMITH.

| lBy VERNON l.. SMITH.
Miss Gentle Spring came to Tulsa
/ lust q few days ago, escorted by Old
| SOL. Then Sol fOrsook her, and like
oftimes occurs in this Oklahoma
country, old Man Winter has been
lingering in the lap Of Miss Gentle
/ Spring ever since. Fact!
/ But the girls! Likewise the older
girls. and what you might call the
women Did they wot that spring had
came? They did, oh surely Like
wise. you bet! Not only VOTED they
| but they were fully aware Of H.
| Eftsoons, they pranced back and
! forth in the Rue de Billiards and
| the Champs Northwind all dressed
up like a busted arm, defying anybody
i'm all the world to find anything the
matter with the spring lids and seas
/ enable gazimbats with which they
disguised and mayhap, improved their
mortal framework. What for a few
snowflakes, or a simoom released by
| cold hearted Boreas? OH la, la-la-
! lai Spring has came!
But have we prOvincials no con
|Nention of style? Ans.-We have. In
/ the eyes Of the elite, it is au fait for
girl to wear a deceased Baltimore
orole on her headpiece and Arctic
oVershoes on her dainty tootsies. Par
agraph.
Neither are furs desderatum this
| time of year though snowbanks
/ mount high. But gadzooks! bring
| forth the royal maypole, though ma
! ure's white fleece coZens the sward,
and let's dance the whirle-gig gambol
and throw off some of our eclat, If
nothing else.
Following this, let us turn to the
/ narrowing, the narrowing following
the plowing, the plowing following
| the mules and the lOp-eared clod-
7 hopper who sighs to be a brake every
! time the cars go by. In fact, there
/ has been considerable narrowing al
ready All Of the farmers at this
| time are anxious to insert a lot of
spring seeds into the loan in such
manner that they may blossom into
golden thousand.dollar bills with the
, utmost despatch. Yesterday one OF
! these farmers declared that his feel
! ngs were narrowed, too, and that he
never felt so loose in all his life. How
| ever the recent shipments of blZ-
Yards in direct violation of all ncu-
tralty acts, may delay the harroWing
/ details somewhat. 1t has now been
since December that Doc Pluyius
| girded up his loins and commenced
! to shoot at these parts with every
| Dlduu bl SHOW Slttlt llbSlt lIlHlullNt
! blizzard and general bedevilment.
! How well he has stuck to his job, ey-
! erybody knows
out in the country, however, It
smells like spring. The odOr of burn
! ing boots comes drifting DER the lea,
and leaves the world to submarines
and to muh. PrZemysl, like Babylon,
| is fallen, aud from the water-soaked
! fields of Oklahoma comes the smell
I that presages green things, glorious
/ flowers and bumper crops. Croupy
/ birds. and ditto with tonsilts, are
making debuts of songs they use only
in the springtime The spring-bird
orchestra has been highly augmented
this season, and they seem as happy
as enraptured humans, who, like the
! young man, in the spring turn their
| fancy TO book beer, pretzels and other
! stableiZers. The lonesome crow, sit
! ting high on an Usage bluff, caws
forth i'm sable tones at the dis
| gruntled oil man, because has not
crow caws to crow with the promise
of full crop of soft-sharded grass
hoppers? Carranza! Also, bon NIGHT!
