was not a sin to eat it. The logic of
TINS statement is plain to the Veriest
tyfo. But IN order to show that 1T was
not made without due consideration it
is reported that a long and earnest
discussion preceded the manufacture of
the SIN, and every woman present felt
that a crisis was at hand. She was
probably wondering whether her cook
knew how to make meringues. For be
IL known that the latter contain ice
cream II desired, but are not, strictly
speaking, ice cream. 1t was argued
that caterers, instead of going to lis
ten TO the word of God on Sundays,
are packing ice cream for thirsty pat
rons, and, of course, the drivers of
delivery wagons are also deprived OF a
chance to go to church. This the
auxiliary proposes to remedy and the

cook making ice cream on Sunday

can't expect an auxiliary to provide for
everything in one meeting. The reso-
luton even went so far as to state
that no member could eat ice cream in
the house. of a neighbor on the Sab
bath If 1t was doubtful where that
cream was procured, but as a sop it
was agreed that cream delivered On
Saturday might be eaten on Sunday
at the consumers risk. No loyal
member, however, would eat any cream
that had not the Endorsement of the
auxiliary on the freezer.
Red Women Voted.
There has been a serious commotion
in the vicinity of Bonesteel, S. D.,
though, as sometimes happens, some
good may. result from it in the end.
1t seems that a war has ragged between
the county seats Of B1nesteel and Fair
fax for some county offices and as the
population is mostly confined to the
noble red men of the forest the con-
test has Waxed warm. The ringleaders
are white and have, of course, been
e~ndeavoring for some time to incul-
cate civilized ideas into the methods
of the Indians, and an election fur
nlShed an excellent time for an object
lesson. They induced some of the
squaWs-Who in outward garb are
pretty much like their lords and mas
ters-to go and vote and the opposing
side, supposing that they were all
right allowed them to do SO. This is
the most hopeful thing we have heard
of in a long time, for it shows not
alone progress, but a desire, not to eX-
terminate, but Ito c~iVilize and bring
the Indian up to the white mans stand
ard. Of course, when the fraud was
discovered there was some hard feel
ing, but that was swallowed up in the
thought that after all the efforts which
have been made in this country for
the advancement Of the birdlings Of
the forest, some of the noble lessons
and example of the whites have not
been given'in vain. The effect of CIV
iliZation on a native race is always in
teresting. 4~-,a,
