The Commercial Club of Quapaw
has arranged to take care of the
harvest about that city without the
help of miners, as it is believed that
it is better to close the stores if
necessary to allow the clerks to go
than to close down the very enter
prise that makes the town. 1t is not
thought that it will be necessary to
close any business houses rs it is be-
lieved that women may be used in the

ed to take care of the grain, but IN
all events the miners are to be kept
underground.

Mrs. o. ]. Horn, of Picher,
handled two mems job at the Ma
hutska mine for two weeks recent
". while her husband who BUD
dies" with her was nursing n crushed
food. Mrs. Horn is supposed to be
the only woman hoisterman in the
world. She handles the great steam
hoist which shoots the ore cars from
the railroad between the two shafts
TO the mill derrick with as much skill
Ms any man in the field and is ready
at any time she is called to go into
the derrick and pull from the ground
for the hoists are just the same
The Horns came from Tennessee
nearly q year ago with q small mule
team and Mr.. Horn at once secured
a contract for hauling the ore from
the field shaft of the Mahutska to
the mill, using the little mules, one
hooked to each car, Mrs. Horn driving
one of them. Soon it was found that
the mules could be hitched tandem
fashion to two cars, then another was
added and Mrs. Horn was only needed
to do the switching but this was not
enough for so active a woman so
Mr.. Horn learned to handle the
hosting engine and taught his wife,
then she became fullfledged hoist
erman. A few weeks ago Mr.. Horn
had the misfortune to mash his foot
and was not able TO work for two
weeks but the contract was carried out
lust the same as the lady hoisterman
added her husbands duties to her
own and actually did the work of two
men for that period, hauling as high
as Ia carloads of ore from the SHAFT
and hosting 1t to the mlll III ua!
Mrs. Horn is a picturesque character
She is small but stocky. She dresses
in mans attire from head to foot
jumper, overalls, cap and shoes. Her
hair is cropped and her masquerade
is complete except for the telltale
gold hoops in her ears, which woman
| like, she cannot give up, and smile
that is 100 per cent woman. The lady
hoisterman is cultured and good look
ing in spite Of her makeup. She ap,
pears to be about 80 years of age and
| is a mother. When asked where hel
daughter was Mrs. Horn hesitatec
but finally acknowledged that she was
married and lived in Memphis, Tenn

as Uncle Sam was her uncle, and

"Then she told him If he opened the
candy when he was on open or 'neu-

cousins, and If there was any Of the
candy left by the time he landed In
France he must give it to his second
cousins-the English and the French.
