THE WIND

Is beginning to blow. Did you ever take notice how cold the winds are in the fall, particularly around election time? Say. it's comical to stop and listen to some of the windy ward poli- ticians. Of course we can't blame the ward heeIers''. to be rather windy in their denunciations of the fellow on the other side. because occasionally we find even office seekers to be pretty windy; some of them can say more in five minutes about themselves than could be dispensed from q grapha- phone in fOrty-seyen hours. fifty-nine minutes and fifty-eight seconds. Of course it's all wind; yes. and that same class of orators can promise seventeen political positions for every office to be filled. and when the time arrives to make good these promises. this type of windy politician can crawl out of his predicament in so slick and smooth style that it takes the disappointed fellow over two years to see how he did it. Well. politics is q pretty uncer- tain game: yOu'H hear '.heeler'' say so and so is willing to spend lots of money to get there. Well. if he is willing to spend lots of money he must see where he's going to get it back and we cannot see only one source. and that's the taxpayers pocket: that's the fellow who must pay all the salaries. Again. you'll see the opposing factions meet after election and make up friends they'll go and have drink, but we'll guarantee it won't be fresh roast ed coffee or pure nice tasting tea they will have. When we say fresh, pure goods. we mean the kind we sell. Our tub better at 23 and 9 cents per pound still continues to tickle the palates of thousands. Why not try some from

'Verbosity' means what?" asked
freckled-faced maiden, gazing over the rims

Just what you're DOM" responded the

than are necessary" This remark brought
forth the usual amount of tears and ended
by the boys having the shady spot of ground
to themselves.

his tow locks with no gentle touch. Il am

them all in the house and up one of the
dozens of little halls that connected all Of
the rooms. At the end of Nis hall was an
other little hall that led back to the door
again. so when Mr.. Fox was going up one
hall, Mr.. Beaver and his family went down
Mr.. Beaver shut and locked both doors of
his house, so that Mr. Fox could not get
out 81 guess that will fix Mr.. Fox all
right" said Mr.. Beaver to his children and
then they all went over to the other side
of the pond to take dinner with their second
cousin.
When Mr.. Fox had got his breath he
started to look for the Beavers. He came
to one hall after another and went down
them all, sometimes in the water and some
times out of it, but he could not catch a
glimpse of single Beaver, and no wonder,
either, for at that minute they were all
eating dinner at the other side of the pond.
After a while Mr.. Fox got tired of hunting
for something he could not find and he tried
to find the door, so as to go home. He diYed
down first one little passageway, and then
another, but he always bumped into walls
at the end of each one. He painted so from
diving so much that he used twice as much
air as usual, and at last he found that he
had used up all the air in the house, and was
completely tired out besides. Still, he did
not dare give up, although he was no nearer
the door than when he started, for he knew
he would smother to death in a very few
minutes unless he could get out of that
house and breathe some fresh air. He ripped
and tore around like mad, but 1t was all of
no use, and he was just about to give up
when the whole roof fell off the house, and
the air came in with great rush! Mr.. Man
had been rowing about in his boat on the
pond. and he had carelessly rowed slap bang
into Mr.. Beavers house and knocked the
roof of.
Mr.. Fox sat perfectly still for minute
breathing the fresh air and resting, and then
he got out of the hole where the roof had
been, swan to the shore and went straight
home. He never dived after any Of Mr.
Beavers family again, and to this day he
will net go into the water a bit more than
he can help.

white settlement, on August g. these chill
dren, along with their parents, were each
given their allotment of land which com
prlses 100 acres of their own choice any
where in the country. The parents were
allowed to take the land for them, but the
title remains vested in the youngsters them
selves, so the parents, no matter how eager
may be their desire to convert these farms
into cash and squander that, cannot do so.
These children are all assured of a tract
of land that will be quite valuable when
they have attained their majority.
One little cir! is worth $4,000 in her own
right. She is Kiowa Annie by name, and
her farm lies near the new town of Hobart,
in the rich Washita Valley. Her father,
by chance, selected this farm Cor his daugh-
ter not knowing that the home-seekers,
when they came in, would choose to erect
a town near it. But the farm is there, and
the town is growing. By the time Kiowa
Annie reaches her majority she can lay her
farm out into town lots and realize fortune
from the sale of them. She is now four
years old, and is being sent to the govern
ment schools at Darlington.
These little girls are for the most part
quick to learn and when sent away to the
government schools learn rapidly. The chill
dren of all these tribes have to be sent to
the government schools according to the
laws governing them. The teachers at
once dress them in little white Bingham
dresses and remove the leather dresses and
moccasns of the redskin. They are robbed
of their long Indian names and called by
shorter ones Of the teachers own make
If they are apt to learn, and most are,
they complete the common school course in
six or seven years and are then sent East
to the government schools, where the higher
branches are taught. Some of the young
full-blooded women who have returned from
these schools during the last few years
have been married to white men and now
make the best of housekeepers.
In tepee life the Indian is unique. 1t is
given nothing to play with except the toads
that hop about the tepee doors. 1t has no
playmates except those of its own rela-
ton, and it receives but few caresses from
it's parents. The squaw mother is in the
habit of putting her baby to bed at dark
they sleep in little sacks, open for
breathing place-then she goes away to a
dance or something of that nature, leaving
the child to its own resources. If it cries
no one comes to soothe it, so it has learned
to go to sleep without it. So crying has
come to be almost unknown among these
children.

At this time Of the year iee-skating is still
a thing to be looked forward to- but roller
skating is not, and, in fact, it would be hard
to find better weather for this exhilarating
sport than we enjoy the present season.
No doubt many of our readers have seen
skate sails in use, and will remember how
their fortunate possessors fly about over the
ice actually like the wind, and far outstrip-
ping their companions, who try in vain to
keep up with them by skating their best.
A skate sail is a sail so constructed that .
boy can hold it before or behind him. and,
holding his skates perfectly still, like the
runners on a sled, let the wind blow him
along over the ice at a merry clip. 1t is one
of the most fascinating kinds Of sport you
can imagine, and far excels sailing a boat
in the water in speed. safety and comfort.
Skate-sailing on ice is still some time be-
fore us, but here is a way to make a skate
sail that you can use equally well with ice
or roller skates, particularly if your rollers
are the bicycle" kind, with two narrow
rubber wheels each.

U(by Foxes @a33ot Dive.
BY RAYMOND FULLER AYERS.

a very great many years ago Mr. Fox
could dive beautifully. but now he can
not dive at all, and only swims when he
has to in order to get away from dogs or
some enemy. He almost lost his life
through too much diving at one time, and
this is how it happened:
Mr.. Fox had been fishing all the after
noon without catching a single fish, and he
was fearfully hungry, too. He did not have
a single thing in the house to eat, and he
made up his mind that he was going to have
something good for dinner, no matter what
happened Just then he saw Mr.. Beaver
swimming about in the water, with lot
Of the children coming along behind him.

If can catch them, just to get even" he
knew that, although he could swim very
well, indeed, he could not hope to catch any
of the Beaver family that way, for they
could swim like fishes. He tried his best to
think of some way to get them out of the
about to give up he saw all the Beaver
family give the water a loud slap with their
tails, all at once, and dive under the water.
He watched for a long time, but they did
not come up again. Then he knew that
they had gone in their house, which was
built so that although the roof and most
Of the rooms stuck up above the water, all
the doors were under the water so that the
Only way to get into the house was by div
ing down to one Of the doors.
he was sure that he could catch the whole
family if he could only dive down deep
enough to reach a door Of the house. He
took off his coat, vest and boots, laid them
carefully on the bank, took a long breath
and dived his best. He had TO swim around
under the water for minute before he

The Misontbropic Cow.

A farmer was given a fine st. Bernard
puppy by a friend one winter and installed
him in a woodshed, near the kitchen. 1t so
happened that two grave old cats, each with
a family of kittens, had their headquarters
in this same woodshed, and they decided
that the puppy was not fit TO move in their
circle of society, for he was very rude and
clustering, as most puppies are. The cats
flew at poor Don, as he was called, and gave
him fearful clawing, while the kittens
sat on pieces of wood and told their mothers
to go ahead and win.
Dons master took him to the barn and
told him to make himself at home. and Don
went up to a giddy young calf and smiled
as hard as he could, trying TO be friends
The calf was a very silly little thing and
cried for its mother as hard as it could. lis
mother was tied by a thick rope in stall,
but she broke the rope and showed Don
that he wasn't wanted in that barn by toss
ing him through the open door with her
horns.
Don never forgave that COW. and he would
60 into the barn and make faces at the calf,
which would shout as loud as it could for
its mother to come and rescue it. This
would set the COW almost frantic and she
would rip and tear about her stall in a most
undignified manner. When at last the calf
was sold its mother blamed Don for it, and
every time she saw him she would do her
host to get at him and hook him
When summer came and the cattle were all
turned out in the fields to Craze during the
day the farmers small boy had the office of
bringing them back to the barnyard at night.

in front of it. By shifting the position Of
the box and aiming the hole at different
ones, you can send one of these rings at
each person in the room. They will be
greatly surprised, and will dodge and try
to get out Of the way, as a general rule.
By renewing the supply of chemicals on

ward amuse the company by taking turns
a. projecting these rings at a doorknob,
or some other prominent object, stringing
several of them upon it before they melt

should knock together in the air, they
would bend and straighten out again with
out losing their form, just as an elastic
body Of more solid material.

could find the door Of Mr.. Beavers house,
but at last he did find 1t and got inside. He
was in a narrow hall so small that he could
barely stand up straight, and that was full
of water too. He was almost suffocated
from being so long under water by this time,
and he hurried up the hall as fast as he
could, passing several other little halls all
full of water on his way. He came to
part Of the hall that was out of the water
just in time to keep from drowning.
Mr. Fox sat down and took long breath.
my! That was a close shave! I thought
1 would never get to the top of the water
that time. Now, wonder where all those
Beavers are anyhow"
The little Beavers had been just outside
their front door washing their hands and
faces so as to get ready for dinner, when
Mr.. Fox dived in the water, and when they
saw him coming toward them they ran and
told their father at once. Mr.. Beaver led
