MANY LETTERS ON HIS DESK
FROM THE POOR DOWN-AND-
OUT OF ALL CLASSES HERE IN

does not want your money for his
..hc-c;;,;s- colony but II may bc year
yet before he can have II ready. Now
you rich Christians here In Tulsa
should love those poor down-nnd-
outs and take care Of them, Now
Old Trader Is not able 10 take care
OF them himself Now II you do not
know them. come TO Old trader and
he win take you and show them 20
you. Now all who need help please
write me at Traders No. I nt 100
Fast First street and I will take the
matter up with my old friends
whom God has prospcrcd and I feel
sure they will take care OF every one
of you. Remember. old Trader does
not need your money, he IL simply
begging for the poor, suffering pco-
pie OF Tulsa. Now the letter l am
asking IL from everybody of all
classes who need help.
There are several institutions here
I'm Tulsa which claim they can cure
tuberculosis. IL looks reasonable TO
Old Trader that all he has visited
are doing n great good for humanity
apd the rich people here should
help them TO thoroughly test out
their theories ON the poor suffering
people, for they sure can keep them
| from suffering. Old Trader Is not
asking n thing for himself, 50 do
Just as You please. Whether You
write me a letter or not, I figure Ia
go 20 Phoenix the last of the week.
Mr.. II. w. Davis:
Here's my appreciation;
THE BIG HEART.
Some folks measure in dollars
The sire OF the folks they know,
And some In medals for bravery
On the field againg the foe;
But the heart Is the surcst measure
or the bigness OF n friend,
And he with the biggest heart
Is the biggcst---in the end.
There may be others bigger,
by the dozen or the score.
And when Il comes 20 fortunes
There are thousands who have
more,
But when it comes to bigness
or the heart and Of the soul,
"Old Trader OF old Tulsa
Is the biggest man l know.
