On Sunday we attended worship at
the school house III Mingona and listen
ed to two excellent discourses by Elder
Brubaker of the German Baptist de-
nomination. The little school house
was full of people. The Sunday school
lesson was a review of the lessons of
the closing quarter. The review was
we'll conducted by Henry Shamberqer
the superintendent. A young man
named Pepoon taught quite a large
class OF boys. was impressed by his
evident earnestness and the faculty he
has OF interesting the boys in the les
sons. Most of the boys were able to
repeat the golden texts of the quarter
and could relate many facts of eacf

appear to be friendly and kind class

1t was the writer's fortune to hear
some Of the inside secret work of the
somewhat famous ~. U. g." (exclu-
sively female) organization, at Kiowa
last Saturday evening. Now we are
not female neither were we in the
room where the goat Is usually ridden.
But our apartment happened to be ad-
joining that Of the j. U. G.. and the
partition between admitted both sound
and sight. Among other peculiarities
of the session of the lodge i've say Pc
culiaritiea because It was peculiar to
us) was the giving OF the grip" from
one member to another. So far as that
particular qualification is concerned We
think We are eligible right now, In
fact we think We have the entire work
of the lodge "dowu pat" Saturday
night was one of those nights when
new members were initiated and the
goat was made to carry the usual bur-
den. Not stapping to describe the
boomers. we will simply state that the
regular ceremonies were gone over un.
til it came to the terminus. Then
came that grip. This time we appre-
ciated it more. 1t was a sublime, yea
an ecstatic moment for us. "Eureka!'
we could have shouted but for the de-
| sire to hear and see what was yet to be.
After the goat was driven to his dark
quarters for the evening, our attention
was absorbed in a spicy, instructive
| and newsy paper contributed to 10y all
and read by one of the members. 1t
consisted in disclosing occupations of
various citizens of the town and gave
other valuable information such as
would prove highly beneficial to all.
This done, the meeting merged into
an interesting discussion assembly.
The question was raised as to the spell
ling and pronunciation of the word
those" in the singular. A diction-
airy was summoned but the particular
page in need was destroyed and the
point remained unsettled so far as
authority was concerned but a vote
showed 8 to in favor of "hoe." We
are informed that the symbols,J. U. G.
signify Just Us Girls" though they
would infer something different though,
perhaps, not as elaborate. We are
free to say that this organization and
its work has surpassed our most fan
cled imagination and wonder not that
the j. U. g. is given prominent notice
| by such eminent journals as the Kali
