Marrying. Hsr Wa Most Excellent IN
- vestment-Thres Years. Savings.
In 1892 the "seger" school was built
in Oklahoma territory, among = colony
Of Cheyennes and Arapahoes, consid-
cred among the widest, most back
ward and nonprogressive Of all In
dams, says the Omaha Bee. Fortu-
nately the superintendent of the new
school, Mrs. John Seger, had already
gained their confidence in another Ca
pacity, SO that when they were asked
to put their children in school they
said that they would, as soon as they
were weaned. And they carried this
out literally. One of tho girl pupils,
who entered the school when 1t was
opened, has had quite a remarkable
record. Having no previous educa-
tion and leaving her really savage
home for the first time, she has dem
onstrated what education is doing and
will do for the red man. There is a
system in nearly all the government
Indian schools by which those pupils
who are both industrious and frugal
may earn money in the sewing room,
on the farm or in some one Of the
schools other industrial departments.
OF course, this must be outside their
regular work. This young girl, after
taking a regular course as a scholar,
was Judged capable OF filling salaried
position. In the course of a short time
she filled not one but several, and
worked in the sewing room besides.
Out of her savings she bought a wa
gon, harness, team, organ, bedroom
set and sewing machine, all in view
of her prospective marriage 70 a young
Indian to whom she was engaged, and
when they were married she took
enough savings with her to build a neat
home. All this was accomplished in
three years time.

ABOUT oARCOYLEs.N
Many Of Them Wore Fine Works Of
Sculptura. 1919


....--.- Sculpture.
Let us look at some of the old rain
water spouts, or gargoyles. 1t is only
recently that the word gargoyle has
found its way into our dictionaries,
says Chambers Journal. Even tech
meal glossaries Of repute passed It
over few years ago. But now it Is
not only included, but chosen for IL
1ustration, in photographed works
that are enlivened with wood cuts. This
advance in public estimation is prob:
ably the result of the exception wave
In the waters of sanitary science now
passing over us, which has drawn at
tention to the manner our ancestors
made provision for the limitation OF
one OF the evils with which they had to
contend. We find our predecessors not
only contrived means to prevent the
damp that would have ensued il rain
water had not been diverted from fall
Ing of their roofs into the foundations
Of their buildings, but so treated these
discharging spout heads from their gut
tors as to make them give considerable
ornamentation. The application OF the
term gargoyle to these contrivances
Is said to be due to the dragon-like
character that was at first given to
them, coupled with the fact that there
was a particular dragon known by
that name that kept the district around
Rouen in trepidation. Directly these
fantastic spouts came into use they
were treated as works Of art, in so far
as two were never made alike. Those
who have studied the subject aver that
many Of them are fine works OF sculp-
ture and they are often 50 adroitly
placed as to bring out the salient
points of fabric and conduce to its
pleasing effect. They were employed
from about the middle Of the thirteenth
century, and were gradually improved
In form and delicacy Of design and
execution. At first they were some
what short and thick, but after time
were made longer, to project further,
and with more elegant details,
