TULSA AS A CONVENTION CITY.

The suggestion that Tulsa pay more atten-
ton TO securing conventions Is good one
There should be fixed policy along this line
1t should become the habit OF the southwest
to select Tulsa as the place for holding those
district affairs known conventions
Already this is considerable OF a habit among
the various rsanizations operating In the south
west section. But It should bo encouraged. In
tho first place, visitors spend money In the
second. they return home with favorable COM
ment for Tulsa.
To fully experience the convention benefit,
however Tulsa must have additional hotel
facilities. The speedy completion OF tho Mayo
hotel with Its modern facilities for entertaining
guests. will put the city in position whore II
can secure conventions with comparatively lit
tie cost and effort.

THE RICH IN SPIRIT.

THE hlth IN SftittE.
There is no door to sorrow barred,
Grief holds contemptuous disregard
OF pride and pomp and fortunes gold,
And pleasures which are bought and sold;
In this tho rich and poor are kin;
Death calls and all must let him In.
Stil there are rich men In woe
And plainly does the difference show.
As one with wealth may grace his board
With food the poorer can't afford,
So one who's richer in belief
Has more to soothe the pang OF grlet,
The man OF greater faith can bear
His hours OF anguish and despair.
His lonely days and nights and weeks
With peace which money valnly seeks.
Faith can a wealth OF strength supply
Which gold and silver cannot buy.
Just as the rich OF purse provide
comforts TO poorer men denied,
so those In greater faith In woe,
Have dreams the faithless cannot know:
Rich OF spirit. they can face
