MRS. MCLESK OF RANGER AND THE SINlPL E LIFE
AEACT STORN
(Catharine Ogesby in Fort Worth Star-Teegram)

The widow oi the Millionaire Nc
Clc,ky the man ON whose farm
the first we'll in the Ranger field
was brought in, sat before a stove
in her small cottage m Ranger
rocking q baby 20 sleep. The rau-
cous sound oil passing vehicles, the
coarse voice, OF men did not dis
turb the quiet OF her room. She
seemed obliyious TO the secthug
activity about. As the chair
swayed to and fro the chiId's eyes
dropped and closed.
Her figure was tail and gauut.
Her iron gray hair coilcd high, rec
yealed the shapely contours OF her
head. Her eyes, from behind the
spectacles, were keen, direct They
seemed to possess a strange power
OF far vision, as ii they were ac-
customed TO gazing over great
spaces. She was dressed i'm blue
pcrcale,
Mrs. McClesky is a Texan. She
aiiirms the fact with emphasis. She
is a typical woman of the plains.
There is a feeling Of power about
her, power gained by conquest
Fortune has been unkind, but with
stoical calm she has grippcd the
opposing fates and triumphed.
Destiny did not mock her in
theatrical moments, when nervous
energy stimulates combatiyc cour-
age. Hers was the lot OF daily,
monotonous drudgery. One in
stinctly knows that she did not
complain, that every sunrise saw
her prepared to meet the trials OF
the day confident in her own power
TO surmount them.

have known nothin' but work, -
