tainly calling some one. Who could 1t
be? The children came out; flew their
kites and rolled their hoops, laughing
when the wind blew their hats off and
made them race down the hill after them.
But still he went on calling. 1t must be
some one else he wanted.
The birds were too far away, most of
them, to hear him. Who could it beP
Down under the ground there was quite
a commotion; little rootlets were spread
ing out this way and that. and there was
such a whispering and laughing going on.
What was the matter?
Why March had been calling the flowers,
and they were all awake, beginning to
grow with all their might; and having
such fun over it, you would have thought
it was all play. They were In such a
hurry TO push their way through the
ground and brighten the world with their
blossoms.
"Are you ready? It's time we were
starting" called Snowdrop. her voice
fairly bubbling over with laughter at the
thought of the surprise she would be
when she popped her head up.
"Yes, yes" called the others, 'go on,
we'll follow YOU"

dear old Bluebird begins singing"

and she laughed so heartily that her

earth and find some food for the little
plant.
Violet was so busily at work growing
that she did not talk as much as the
others, but the very first morning she
popped her head in its violet bonnet above
the ground aud whispered, "I'm here, :"

brave little flowers; they never grum bled
all through the long. cold winter that
they had TO stay under the ground; they
were sure that the loving Father who
gave them their work to do knew what
was best for them. Their long resting
time helped them to work better. So,
when March called. they were ready to

awav on all sides to the feet of the pur-
pie hills in the distance. Here and there
the grain was gathered into golden
sheaves.
The authorities of the reservation occupy
he buildings of Fort CASTOR, which are
kept up by the Government. Captain
Daugh terry was the chief officer, but in
1892 the soldiers were all removed from
the fort.
We arrived just in time 10 witness the
closing exercises OF the boz riding school,
where the children are taught to live as
white children do. We were informed
that many of them, after they return to
their homes, try very hard to carry out
the ideas which they learn in this school,
Squaws from all parts of the valley were
in attendance at the exercises and seemed
to enjoy them very much
kindergarten methods are used in the
primary grade and the little fellows were
very busy this day comparing their work,
and seemed to have taken great pains
with their drawing and writing, as some of
their papers were really beautifully done.
At the last they had some singing, and
good singing it was, too.
Then they were given prizes, which had
been offered by their principal, Mr.. Camp
bell. There were two sets of prizes, one
for the girls and one for the boys.
The successful ones were very happy
and departed for their homes with smiling
faces.
As we drove through the valley we
learned that the Indians have both saw
and -four mills, which they operate them
selves, and also that they harvest their
own grain.

The Government has done great deal
for these Indians. The land is DIVIDED
into tive-acre farms. One farm, which
consists of two and a half acres of bottom
land in the valley and two and half acres
! on the hills, is given to each person.
Trinity River runs right through the
valley, and its waters are SO muddy that
do not understand how the Indians ever
| catch any fish; but they do manage to get
great many.
As / was walking ahead OF the rest of
our party along the banks of the river
saw an old Indian chief whom they call
Captain John, standing in the water with
big club in his hand. He was waiting
for fish 10 come near so he might knock
him with the club. He did not see me at
first and l enjoyed watching him for quite
a little while. but when he did catch sight
of me it was funny how quickly he
grabbed his salmon and scooted up to his
cabin, where he got into his pants for

papa and mamma were very kind to her
and she lad beautiful home.
Now, you think she was good little
girl. Well, so she was-that is, pretty
good; but alasl she had one very bad
iault, and this fault one day made her
quite sad.
Just think. every time her mamma
called her or told her 10 do something. in
stead of saying, "Yps, mamma dear;
shall come right away" she always said
"In minute!" ana then would go right
on with her play or reading and forget all
about her mothers com mmand.
OF course this made both her papa and
mamma feel very badly and they did not
know how to get rid OF that naughty ''In

One bright Saturday morning she took
her lovely new story book out into the
garden. "Oh, won't l have a fine time

one can find me-.
She was soon settled and com menced
her story, but had not read long when she
heard her mother calling, Blanche F!
Blanche! Come here, dear" "In min
ute," answered the little girl and turned
back to her book.
She read and read, and read, un til she
finished the story. Then she suddenly
bered that she had been called
some time before.
Walking slowly to the house she met her
mother just returning from drive.

go with the girls?" she exclaimed In sur

turned to go into the house as she said,
