Christmas at Fort Hall School.

On Christmas Eve, the scholars of
Fort Hall school, rendered cantata.
title: "A Good Time with Santa Claus. 2
First part, or first on the programme,
was children from the kindergarten
room. who sang song for the opening
of the exercises of the evening. The
children did well in their different
parts in the cantata. Those who have
witnessed the programme, or have
been here longest, claim the children
have made wonderful progress in he
way of speaking and singing.
As you went into the school room.
on the right hand side Of the door, near
the stage, there stood a fine Christmas
tree loaded with presents. These pres
ents were sent by Eastern friends of
Mrs. II. Locke, Miss NJ G. Ramsey and
Mr.. Levi lowering. No doubt these
teachers are grateful TO their friends
who have so literally donated good
presents TO these poor Indian children
of the Rockies. Some one has said,
Tits more blessed to give than to re-
ceiye."
Among those who were at the exer-
cises of the evening, we noticed Hon.
Thos. B. Teter. U. S. Indian Agent.
of Ross Fork, Miss Wilder Sheridan
aud her brother, OF Basalt.
The school is now in good condition
under Supt. ii. Locke, with his good
force Of employees.

Music in the mountains,
Music In the hills,
Music In the fountains,
Music In the rllls"

Tomorrow music will he everywhere,
and as every day is gIft individually
received from Heaven, so all things be-
slowed with each day should be accept
ed and enjoyed. Listening to the music
OF the Chicago Marine Band, and the
voice OF one of Americas sweetest sing
ers, certainly cannot be viewed as VIC,
lating either the day Of rest bodily or
the day OF unrest Spiritually. Schopen-
haueF makes music analogous TO the
above named conditions of human life,
lnasmuch as music has but two lead
ing chords, from which all others are
derived. These are the tonic chord, and
the dominant chord OF the seventh
The first is the chord Of rest and calm
ness, the second is chord OF unrest, OF
longing and striving Music Is a con-
tinued succession of these two chords,
and In this is represented our never
ceasIng desires as followed by gratih-
cation. Thus the composer reveals the
Utmost condition of ones soul; he
speaks the greatest truth, and speaks
It In language, which reason compre-
bends not, but language which Is I'M
derstood alike by all men the world
over.
The weather permitting, no music
lover, no adherent OF all that Is good
and beautiful should for an instant
hesitate ayailing himself or herself OF
the enjoyment of to-morrow's music
earlier in the edlhces erected for the
worship OF God later amid surround
ings planned by the Creator q all that
is best

was sent to be Inserted In this column,
with a second dedication to the mem
bers, individually, OF the Womun's Mu-
steal Club. The implied compliment to
the club Is accepted. Other comment Is
unnecessary:
The programme, she Informed me, was n
charming one, indeed,
From the splendid Wagner overture. which
nothing could exceed
To the lovely little scherzO and the min
net for strings,
And the latest bit Of Dvorak, which made
her sigh for wings.
Throughout the Grlcg concerto her emo
ton was intense
It seemed TO me at times she held her
breath In deep suspense;
She raved OF Opus this and that, Of Schu-
bert, Bach and Liszt
Beethoven, Brahms, TschaIkowski. and a
score whose names ! missed.
But when at last twas over and led her
down the stair,
noticed that beneath her breath she
hummcd little air;
II was not upon the programme, being
commonplace and tuny,
And | wondered at the sudden drop from
Bach TO annie Rooney"

4 PRACTICAL STATESMAN.
George Washington as a Model Man of Business, Order and Law-Tru hful. Just, Humane.

George Washington as a Model Man of
 Business, Order and Law-Tru hful, Just,
 Humane.
 Washington was eminently a prac- tical statesman His mind was of the solid, practical order. In the Old South church in Boston 1 have seen, in his own bold and clear handwriting, the expense accounts which he kept in the revolution, down to the shillings and the pence. He was no theorist, the author of no new idea or system in gov ernment. He left to Jefferson to enunciate the great ideas of liberty in the Declaration of Independence and to Hamilton to inaugurate our great. system of finance. But when it came to practical administration and execu tive duty he was model of business, of order and law. Here his great rule and guide was the conscientious per forrnance of public duty. Naturally conservative in his ideas, the suprem- acy and authority of law and govern ment were ever uppermost in his mind and purpose. When in his second term that whisky insurrection broke out in Pennsylvania and the misguided mal- contents, after fair warning by his proclamation, continued to resist the collection of the tax and to resort to mob law and violence, he promptly called out 5000 militia from the neigh boring states and repaired to the scene of action, ready to take command and crush the incipient rebellion with a strong hand. But this show of power and purpose, with Washington behind it, was enough, and the lawless ele- ments retired abashed, as they always will, when confronted by leader who dares to shoot and to kill.
 But Washington not only recognized his obligation to the people and to the law, but he was ever mindful of the still higher obligation to the principles of justice and humanity. To be truth full, to be just, to be humane-these were the bright jewels in his crown of character. It is fact most interesting and impressive now to recall. after all our great troubles and conflict over the slavery question, that he left his solemn testimony against that institCtion in words which ought to have been needed
The Forrest City times., 1897-02-19

by his coustrymen. As early as 17s6. just after the revolution, he wrote: There is no man living who wishes more sincerely than do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery. But there is but one proper and ef- fectual mode by which it can be ac- complished and that is by legislative authority, and this, so far as my sui frage will go, will never be wanting"
 And these noble words he put into practical effect by the emancipation of his own slaves by will, humanely pro- viding for the support of the aged aad infirm among them, and giving the most explicit and peremptory direc- tions that those too young to support themselves should "be taught to read and write and brought up to some use- ful occupation"-andt this to be charge
