At eleven o'clock Saturday night the
K. P. A. sailed on the D. & g.. Steamer
City of Mackinac for the famous
Mackinac Island. The lake trip was
delightful, though the boat rolled a bit
several times. Some of the passengers
really gave up everything on account Of
the trip-yea, every bite. But speaking
of seasickness heard way to amply de-
scrite Il sensation by saying ''the first
hour you are sick you are afraid you are

glorious Fourth the K. P. A. crowd,
shivering from cold, and filed with
admiration of the magnificent scenery,
reached the beautiful Mackinac Island,
proceeding at once TO the Grand Hotel,
which overlooks the village. The K. P
A. crowd is probably the merriest crowd
that ever captured the hotel, and it has
things its own way. The Fourth was
celebrated yesterday by the occasional
bang of fire-cracker, by visiting the
points of interest on the Island, by
business meeting, and last night
by Fourth of July speeches

"HE HELD 1T ALoFT AND scREAMED IN HIS TRrUMpHn

AS he drew rapidly away he uttered
once more his shrill note of triumph
Then he sat down on the stallion and
rode with judgment leased him up a
little.
All that day, and all the next night
he rode, resting his band of horses
after he had forded the Battle river
the first evening.
At daybreak on the second day he
sighted his own camp.
The appearance of so many horses on
the distance excited the Crees; they
thought their enemy, the Blackfoot,
had swooped down upon them.
When the boy rode into the camp at
the head of his footsore troops of
ponies, the warriors swarmed about
him.
Modestly he told his story for the
long ride had quoted down his spirits.
He showed them the scalps and his
band of loot
The braves pressed about him closely,
and felt his arms and his legs to see
where the strength had come from.
Suddenly there was a. little commo-
ton. An opening was made in the
crowd, and the nokum pressed forward
to the feet of the tribes idol.
My boy, my boy" she stopped
short; her eyes caught sight of the
blood on his breast.
Are you wounded?" She thrust her
hand in at the opening of his deerskin
shirt and drew it back, clutching a
mass of blood-stained grass.
NO" replied the boy; that's Black
foot blood, nokum."
tits sweet grass" she cried exult-
ingly, holding the well known grass
aloft in her hand.
Contagiously the others took up the
cry, Sweet grass, Sweet grassp'
As by inspiration the tribe medicine
man stepped forward and said HE
is a brave now. He must have
name. Let his name be Sweet grass"
Thus was the naming of the great
Chief Sweetgrass."
THE RULING OF SWEETGRAss.
That was the beginning. Sweetgrass
had graduated from his dogs life The
braves that had been before were as
nothing to what Sweetgrass became.
Black Woolf, who had been his model,
was soon outclassed by the pupil.
Brains and pluck and muscles of steel
made the. little man the greatest
among all Crees.
He was an ideal pagan: no glinting
of light that Illuminated the wrong
doing side of horsestealing and killing,
shot athwart the narrow pathway of
his pagan mind.
If there were any commandments in
scribed in the Cree pantheon they were
aimed at the extinction of the enemies
of the tribe--the Blackfoot.
So Sweet-Grass served the great
spirit with an eager vigor that left
many scalps hanging in his lodge.
He stole horses until the medicine
man classed him as the grea test pagan
of them ALL
While ne reduced the census Of his
neighbors, his own tribe waxed popr-
lous and rich through his wisdom.

Even otherwise imitation is to be fought
against. English novels have no small

Moreover, IN English fiction an encounter
with the nobility is inevitable. In Eng
lish drama it is impossible to avoid the
woman with a past. The latter is always
fat, too, and a woman with a past should
be thin. But t.szt is also a digression- The
point is that our young IN letters should
be shielded from such influences. What
they require is instruction from a corps

who can teach them how TO write checzz,
