The entertainment at the Umatilla
Indian school during the Christmas
holidays have been unusually interest
ing and were rendered with ability
fully equal to white children of the
same age and amount OF training.
1t would have been good for those
who believe Indian children can not
be taught a white mans education.
to have listened to the Umatilla Indi-
an children render their parts in the
program.
Sammy Luban, aged 8. rendered
the Juvenile recitation, Jack Hor-
ner," in a manner that elected hearty
applause, and brought forth an en-
core from the little fellow. A year
ago this boy could scarcely speak a
word of English.
The Cradle Song" by Emma
Johnson, aged nine, was rendered in
sweet voice which showed atten-
ton and training, and was heartily
received.
Helping Santa" by Dan Kash
Kash, another small full-blood boy,
was given in a delightful manner and
brought forth an encore, also.
These numbers deserve especial
mention, because they were above the
usual standard of school recitations,
in the same grades, and prove that
training will bring the Indian child
up to the required standard.
The beautiful tableaux given by a
thrilling school suggestion. and was
well rendered and heartily received.
The entire program was rendered
in an able manner. all the children
showing remarkable self-cOntrol, un-
der he trying circumstances, and the
teachers, who trained the children,
assisted by Mrs. Wilson, wife of the
principal teacher. ]. W. Wilson. de-

the school and its work among the
Indians.

When DR.. ]. A. Best moved into
Pendleton from Weston a few days
ago, there adorned his upper lip q
fringe of straw-colored moustache
that had been there during his sew
eral years residence in Oregon. Now
the DOCTORS face is familiar to all
other physicians and the druggists of
Pendleton. and his word is as good
as gold. But Best shaved off his
moustache.
This morning he went to Brock &
hcComas drug store and purchased
some articles for a patient. 'In
take this to him." said the doctor,
"and If. it doesn't suit III bring it
back" and out he walked. The clerk
murmured something ane then asked
the proprietor who the stranger was.
The proprietor didn't know and a
messenger was dispatcher to a hotel
where Best said he was staying to find
out his name. Later the druggist
purchased the cigars.

"What's .that?" asked Senator
Hoar.

Houser.
"I do not understand you," said
Mr.. Hoar.
"He did," said Mr. Houser.
"That was more important" re-

loosen up is some occult mining

Its a financial phrase of wide and

were in one range and let fly.

ceeded to limited
extent, but the reform campaign stirred
up the powerful saloon element, which
saw that it was only question Of time
when the city officials would be obliged
to enforce the law or face impeachment
and trial for wilfnl neglect of duty. and
so, believing that half loaf was better
than none at all, an ordinance was
quickly drafted and placed before tho
council extending the time OF closing

narrow majority. and now it is up to
the LIQUOR men to obey the law they
fathered. And 1t Is expected that the

breed of sporting animal. and is causing
the city officials all kind OF trouble.
When the tickers were forced out OF
the poolrooms and gambling resorts
where race news was received, the game
sters were driven to look around for .

The telephone company processes ig-

agreed to remove the instruments where
/. is shown that they are used for tho
sending of racing news for gambling
purposes. But it was only when the po-
lice were getting their axes ready to

the company agreed to cooperate in the

packed house and strong sympathy OF
the audience. Grand opera in Chicago
is always an uncertain quantity, as far
as audiences CO. The artists never know
whether they are going to sing to
crowded house or to well-filled upper
galleries and empty first floor seats until
| they step before the footlights.
But such is not the fate of the evan
gelist when he comes to Chicago.
Whether revival services are more to
the taste of Chicagoans than grand OPP
era or not, we would not like to state,
but the fact remains that the well-adver-
tised religious meeting with its big
preacher or evangelist always draws its
crush" house.
Take it when Moody was alive and
came to town. Day after day and night,
after night he packed the same building
where grand opera has been given to
comparatively small audiences, from
"cellar to garrett" and then thousands
were left outside, unable to get in.
To be sure, they did not have to pay any
where from $3.50 to $3.50 per, but it has

cagoans go to religious meetings they
do not leave their pocketbooks at home,
tucked under the mattress, and do not
hesitate to give when the call comes
And, taking the difference in the ex-
penses of producing grand opera and the
revival meeting, with star preacher in
cluded, the margin Of profit Of the lat
ter is greater than the former.
The Presbyterians have just inaugu-
rated a movement which takes in all
three sides Of the city. DR.. J. Wilbur
Chapman is directing the religious cam
paign, and such evangelists as DR.. John
Robertson, of London; DR.. ]. M. Gray,
of Boston; Rev. Thomas Houston, the
blind evangelist" Rev. A. H. Biede-
wolf, and score of others, are his help
ers. The Methodists have united in the
series of meetings, and audiences are
gathering nightly in various parts Of the
city which would make the departing
opera singers green with envy II they
would only tarry long enough to see
them.

model dresses have been trotted out and
admired and criticised, to the ediaca-
tion of the assembled architects Of the
feminine shape and external drapery.
And the Chicago woman who hasn't her
next dress picked out is either indif-
ferent to Dame Fashion, or her last
dressmaking bill has not yet been paid
by hubby, and her credit is not good.
At one of the evening sessions OF the
convention, when it had been rumored
that beautiful gowns were to be dis
nlayed by more beautiful living models.
there was a stampede of men lovers OF
the beautiful to the doors OF the con-
yention hall, and the door keeper had .
busy half hour of 1t keeping them out
and convincing them that the beautiful
models were constructed OF PAPER
macne, and not Of pink and plump nesh
and red blood. And while the man at
the door was busy, the modistes whose
prize-winning dresses were on exhibition
were having a strenuous seance getting
the precious gowns out OF sight ana
harms way, for the commotion at the
door led them to believe that some rival
organization was attempting to raid
the hall and steal their ideas, II not the
dresses themselves.
A brief epitome Of the conventions
work includes the Endorsement OF the
corset, the padded figure and the won"

asked, and also the determination TO
make the customer who snubs her Dress
maker pay for It at so much per snuD.
It will thus behoove the man who pays
the bills to educate his wife and laugh
tiers to e more cordial relationship with
the seamstress in public places.
