 SULPHUR


 Sulphur, Oklahoma, is the neat and modern little city which sits on the edge of the Platt National park and waits for itself to become great and famous by reason of the mineral springs in the park, just as Hot Springs Arkansas, has fattened on another government reservation.
 These Platt Springs contain sulphur hromides and other minerals, and their therapeutic value is well established. The Indians went to them for their healing qualities long before white men came to America. And an increasing number of white men now journey to Sulphur or else camp in the part so that they may drink the water of the springs. There are about 30 of them, and they unite to form a pretty creek, winding through a forested valley across an unspoiled bit of the Okla homa prairie land.
 This prairie park, while not as spec tacular as the famous parks of the Rockies, has d charm of its own. It is a rolling country with an elevation of about a thousand feet The grassy flower starred prairie is dotted with high hills, crowned by rock chimneys. which the Indians built long ago to mark the locations of springs. The valleys and gulleys are prettily for ested. It is perfect country for rid e inG-a country where there are no bridle paths but where you may gal Top at will across miles of natural turf. And there is good fishing and also a mild, warm. lazy mans winter When the American people get over their childish enthusiasm for big seen cry, more Of them will go to the Platt

Heart Beats
By A. K.

Be patient
With the erring one I.
Be kind
To her who brags-
Leniency to her who wears
Diamond tiaras
In her hair
Throughout the early morning
When life was young
She hitched ambition
To a false and tickle star
She firted here
And flirted there
And firted everywhere
To reach this constellation
Which held 4 wealthy husband
Her Youth was filled
With want and woe
The larder held no tid-bits-
Her gowns
Were unlovely offsprings
From Mother Necessity.
But one day
Luck came tapping
Tapping at her door
She flung it wide
Luck entered
And brought her fondest wish,
Straight away
She lost her charm
And found
A grand old mansion
One by one
She lost her friends
But gained the lap
Of Luxury.
Her neck grew stiff
Her eyesight poor
For honest humble people
A lorgnette
Hung from golden chain.
Jewels flashed
Gems glittered-
Her graceful figure
Lost its lines
From too mitch ease
And laziness.
She Aid!
She Ohd
And choked
And chorteled-
She gulped out words
OF affectation
In tones most aggravating-
Yet
Who should blame
This foolish dame
Whose head was turned
By money
Is it not enough
That she lost her sense?
Karma was watchful
And for revenge
Played havoc
And ruined her vocal cords.
Be kind
Thank Fate
Who wisely spared you
This maze
Of mental nlire.
