Christmas day closed with games and
dancing Among the former were Hunt
the slipper, "Blind mans buff, ~ Puss in
the corner aud other old fashioned games.
The music for the dancing was furnished 10y
a negro band and consisted of two fiddles,
n banjo, and fife it made up in merriment
what it lacked in art, for the musicians
played the liveliest plantation melodies,
such as "Way down on the Suwanee river,
cold folks at home, "Old Uncle Ned,
etc The first set was always led by the
master and mistress of the house, after
which the floor was given up to the young
people At midnight there was generous
handing around of rum punch and hot ap-
pie today The dancing then went on
more merrily than before, the Virginia
reel, in which all took uart, closing the fes-
tivities of Christmas day. During the holi-
days the negroes had ball at their quar-
ters, the room being decorated with ever
greens, and the music being the same as
the white folks had on Christmas night.

dians.
There is living i'm the valley of the Chey-
cnnc river. South Dakota, q white woman
30 years of age. who was taken captive in
her infancy by the Sioux Indians, and has
ever since lived among them. In 1919 a
maraudng band of Indians wandering in
the region of the southern boundary of
Wyoming, discovered an immigrant train
of about 20 wagons They attacked the
immigrants, drove them into a gulch, and
for two days poured into them merciless
fire from the surrounding hills. At the end
of that time, seeing no signs of human life
i'm the train. they charged and found that
the defenders of the train were all killed.
and that the only survivors were baby
girl few months old, a little girl a few
years old. 'young girl of rs, and three
small boys
The captured child grew up among the
Indians. She never was inquired for and
no clue to her parentage has ever been OBJ
tanned. She had grown to wOmanhOod be
fore she learned that she was not an Indian.
She married in Indian fashion Sioux nam
ed Red Prairie Dog, and has raised a large
family. Some of her children are in the
government Indian schools at Pierre, 5. d.,
and Cheyenne river agency. She has little
interest in her parentage, and seems disin-
clined to talk about it. 1t would take more
than an ordinary glance to see in her any
thing to distinguish her from the ordinary
squaw. Her complexion is bronzed from
exposure and her form bowed with the
drudgery of Indian camp life.-PutSbug

Only II Spool 0fThrcad.

TO make spool of thread, says a
manufacturer, rs a complicated process
Onl Y the very best Sea Island cotton
can be used for this purpose. The
ton is taken in raw state, and torn
all to pieces by Il machine called a
breaker.
1T then goes through several other
machines, by which it is carefully
comb"d and freed from impurities. A
machine called 'slubber' then takes
il uo, ana twists it out IN soft white
yarn.
This is carefully combed again, and
It is then taken into anotn6r depart
ment, where several small strands of
tins yarn are twisted together, and
YOU then nave six cord thread, which
after it is hlrucA~d is ready for the
market.
Another Interesting thing is the
II lmbcrng Of the thread. Every lady
knows the sizr of thread that she re-
CURES for doing a certain piece of
work, but very few OF them know how
it came to be so numbered.
You see wien cotton thread was first

it weighed just one pound. This was
called No. |. and if IL pound contained
Just twice this number of yards it WIS
called No 2 and so on.
