1t will be seen that the only thing
the Cheyennes d Arapahocs now
have to do to make their title per

avail themselves of the same privi-
lege, | will give little sketch Of
what | saw and heard. TO those
who are living at the Agency or
passing through, | would say that a
day spent inv visiting this schoolcan
not fail to interest you, and | am
satisfied you will 90 away feeling as
! did well paid for your trouble.
The Arapahoe school building is
large two-story frame building
with two rooms in the attick. One
hundred and twenty Arapahoe chill
dren are fed, clothed, lodged, and
instrocted in the common branches
of an English education. The girls
are taught to do housework, the

school. The majority Of the scbol-
ars in attendance haye.Only been in
school about one year, the older
scholars having been sent to the

A Banner with . Strange Device.

Upon the declaration Of war in 1912
the town military companies reorgan-
lied by the election of new officers and
q general brushing up Of accoutrements.
just before the battle of Plattsburg q
town company in that vicinity elected a
stalwart but rather lliterate fellow, by
the name Of Jonathan Pilsbury, Captain.
He felt that the eyes of the whole State
of New York were upon him. He en-
courged his company to be brave in the
coming battle. He assured them that
he would /" behead them as long as there
was man of them left, and that his
own name should go down to posterity."
The banner of the company had en-
blazoned upon its folds, in addition to
the stars and stripes, the emblematic
eagle, holding in his talons the legendary
scroll, Sc Pluribus Unum." The Cap
tain eyed the eagle with admiration, but
was puzzled as to the significance of the
motto. Seeking light upon the subject,
he was informed by wag that it was
the name of the first Captain of the
company. A bright thought dawned
upon the uncultivated mind of Captain
Pilsbury. He quietly took the flag to a
sign-painter and had the name Of the
" first Captain " obliterated and his own
substituted, and that company rushed
bravely into the fight bearing the banner
with that strange device, "E. Jonathan
Pilsbury. ''-C2eUeland Penny Press.
