Southwestern Minnesota High
.zs School League. ,.5S.

Representatives of about ten high
schools Of southwestern Minnesota
met at Window last Saturday K,
form q league which should take the
inter-scholastic contests under
central Management. 5
The question Of playing foot oali
next season was left to the board Of i
control, but it was the sense of tho
meeting that it should be given up
unless there was considerable
change in the rules, eliminating
much of the rough play. A motion
was unanimously carried that tho
schools should encourage q track
meet, and that such q meet should
be arranged for the close of the
present year. A board of control
was elected to take charge Of inter
scholastic contest for one year, and
to make rules and regulations
governing the same, these rules to
be submitted to the different schools
for ratification.

 me a visit, referring briefly to the strange. turn which my fortunes had taken. I saw nothing of the captain. at least at the castle, and for some reason or other I felt no desire to re visit him just now He had evidently forgotten my invitation. nor did l re mind him of it when we met casually upon the road the day after Montgom- ery's arrival. He gave me civil greeting, cooking his eye at my com panion in his good humored. cynical way. and when we had passed. on looking back, 1 saw him standing at the crossroads, rod in hand. gazing in tently after LIS. Seeing me do so, he waved his hand and moved off upon his journey. Montgomery was as doc ile as spaniel. submitting readily, 1 suppose, to the superior will, and l had no complaint to make of him save that he wearied me q good deal. He himself. however. had a complaint. for he was grieyously disappointed that there had been no bloodshed. We saw not a show of q burglar, and I fancy he thought me in his private mind something of an impostor, which possibly was the very reason which made him strike up an acquaintance with Sercombe. certainly had no right to protest. for the captain was a pleasant fellow and so far as I knew harmless. and. moreover. life at the cas- tie was not enlivening. But all the same I was a little annoyed to find them upon such close terms with one anOthse.
 The third day after Montgomery arrival l. resolved to ride into Ray mOld 10 see the little lawyer. and. mounting the black horse which had come to me a. part of my inheritance. I left the castle shortly before lunch. The nag was a steady creature. though not very handsome to the eyes. and shortly I was upon the other side of Llanellan and cautering down into the long stretch of forest which lies to- ward the little town. Here. as it chanc- sI very oddly. whom should meet but Greenstreet himself. driving out to the castle upon the very point of business on which was bound for Raymond.

TO REVIVE INDIAN MUSIC
Suggestion That Reservation Schools Teach Mystic Songs.
IDEA OF COMMISSIONER LEUPP.

His Recommendations to Congress
 That Music Be Taught In Govern
 ment Schools For Indians Enthusi-
 asticaIly Approved by old Chiefs.
 Favorite Song of a Squaw.
 Indian Commissioner Leupp's recom- mendation in his annual report to con gross that Indian music be taught in the government schools for Indians is receiving the enthusiastic approval of the old chiefs on the reservations, but the younger Indians know scarcely more about Indian music than the av- craze white man of the west, says q Yankton (S. D. correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 No suggestion more to the liking of the grizzled warriors, who spend much of their time mourning over the depar- ture of happy days when they could dance, sing and fight. has been made by an Indian commissioner in recent years. With the revival of the Indian music there is certain to be an awak- ening of the Indian spirit, the heritage of centuries of wild life on the plains and in the forests. and with these there is sure to come some restoration of the manliness for which the race was noted and for lack of which the Indians are struggling with disease and inebriery.
 Few. indeed. have any idea of the real Indian music. Tine reds do not pa rade their national songs or their mu- sical instruments. Whatever their prac- tice in wild life. Indian music cannot be heard now except at long intervals. when the tribes are engaged in some impressive ceremony, But there is real Indian music. as tuneful and as sweet as tine American songs which they have learned to sing in recent years. There are joyous. fanatical or warlike songs of the dance. tine solemn or strangely weird song of iamentltio1 and the self satisfied song of work.

 The next instant I had recognized Hood. There was nothing very remark able in this. but what moved my blood was a more curious recognition. Swift as the flight of a swallow there darted into my mind the recollection of an- other vision. I identified the memory. It came back upon me with an odd sense of perplexity and still stranger feeling of fear where and when had first encountered that lean and stealthy body. had seen the mar disappear in the same furtive fashion upon the banks of the stream in the valley be- low. and what had then arrested my vague memory now also again attack ed it, but this tipe with certain knowl edge This was the man who had been with Mir.

Old Indian women on the South Da- kota reservations remember when they were expecting visits from friendly tribes, and when they offered the hos pitality of their wigwams to the way farers, and this was the simple song they would sing: 'T am mashing the berries
 march. I stir the berries round; stir them
 around;
 I take them up with spoon of buffalo
 horn, And I carry them. carry them to the
 strangers"
 While the men remember times on the hunt when they sat on the backs of their ponies waiting for the return of the runners who had been sent out to locate the buffaloes, and in their loneli- ness they would sing: ''He! They have come back racing. Why. they say there is to be buffalo
 hunt here.
 Make arrows. Make arrows Says the father. says the father"
 Stretched on the grass in front of her wigwam an aged squaw was asked what she considered her favorite song, and she explained that she always sang about her mother. She said she remen- bered when a girl she would see visions of her dead mother. and she would sing:
 " "'Mother, come home: mother. come
 home
 My little brothers go all about crying My little brothers go always about cry.
 ing.
 Mother. come home: mother. come
 home"
 Such songs as Rock of Ages" and "Blest Be the Tie That Binds" are ia. vorites among the Indians. while song written by a western man called "Loy. atty" in which there is the line "Across the western plain there comes joyful strain" Is known to almost every In dian of the church.
 Besides the religious songs of the In- dians there are songs of hunting. songs of war and of work, which are sayer than the religious songs. The Indians love to sing while they are at work and many of their best songs were those sung by young girls. who do muct. of the work about the lodge.
