The result was surprise and il has
given the students the hopes of success

tins to the star Y. NJ. c. A. aggregation
the L men held their strong opponents
to a close score. Coach Milne is especial
~ elated over the result and believes that
he will be able to develop a first-ciass
team.
About fifteen men are trying out for the
team and there are a number of good
basketball men among them. Captain
Horsfal has good record on the l. D. 5
team and Wilkinson, who plays center,
did effective work against Hoffman, the
crack Y. NJ c. A. man. The class series
will be played off soon and Milne be-
lieves that this will develop a number of
strong players. Morgan Adams, the pole
vaulter, who has played on champion
teams a number of years, expects to enter
school the second semester. He will be
a valuable addition to the team.

SITTING BULL.
How the Great Dakota Chief Came to
Be Given His Name.
(St. Nicholas

(St Nicholas0
Sitting Bull was a Dakota Indian. He
was born near an old army station, Fort
George, on Willow creek, and his father
was Jumping Bull. The Indian chiefs
are very fond of giving boys new
names when they begin to do some
thing which their friends notice. If a
boy runs fast with his head up, they
call him THE Elk" 1.-The Deer 1.-THE
Wild Horse or some such name. Or
perhaps if he has quick or sly ways they
name him THE Fox The Wolf OF
The Coyote"
In North Dakota, at the time, there
were great herds of buffalo, and the
largest of them were the bulls. These
were the leaders when a herd was run
ming, swimming a river or jumping
across a gully. Even when a lad, Sit
ting Bulls father could hunt for buff
falOes and quickly jump the deep gut
lies so frequent in that country, always
with his bow III his hand, so his uncle,
an Indian chief, named him Jumping
Bull.
His son was a strange boy. His hair
was straight like an Indian, but of a
reddish brown color. His head was very
large and his features were more reg
ular in form than that of the Indian. He
was so odd in his looks and his ways,
Keeping much to himself, thinking and
planning how best to have his own way,
that his father named him, when quite
young, Sacred Stand"
Once, at 10 years of age, he went with
some hunters on a wild goose chase for
buffaloes and came back to his fathers
wigwam very happy and proud, for lie
had succeeded in killing a buffalo calf;
but he did not have a new name till
four years later. At that time he fire.
quently made drawings of his totem,
what we might call his family coat-of-
arms. This was a buffalo bull settled
back on his launches in a sitting pos
ture, and from it the boy was named
Sitting Bull"
His second feat thought great by In
dians was when he met a Crow Indian
travelling along a trail claimed by the
Dakotas. The Crow Indian was riding
a horse, and had. on another horse, his
wife, with baby strapped to her back
Sitting Bull on an Indian pony,
charged this little cayalcade, succeeded
in killing all three without a scratch,
and made rough picture OF the exploit.

Der of our men fell in battle near Fort
Phil Kearney. and after that trouble
scout picked up an old army roster DOCK
which had once belonged TO company
of our soldiers. On its blank pages Sit
ting Bull had made skeleton pictures,
and each picture showed some wicked
deed The pictures were ridiculous
enough, but they made a fairly good
diary. and the meaning could not be
mistaken Nearly every record in the
book was a sketch of the cruel Sitting
Bull and his victims Sometimes he was
killing white men, sometimes Indians,
sometimes stealing and driving of herds
of horses. A mans figure with tall
hat was enough TO mean white cft1-
zen. an uncouth bonnet showed a Wo-
man, stiff outlines gave Indian war
feathers or soldiers costume. and the
book was curious record Of years
when Sitting Bull was a famous brave
and cruel. bad Indian.

Rendition of "Star-Spangied Banner"
by Foreigners Usually Disastrous.

Washington. Dec 13.-Letters reaching
Washington from officers of the battle
snip fleet indicate a woeful lack of knoWl-
edge of anything approaching a national
anthem.
In most places where the fleet was re-
ceived with so much cordiality the natives
were prompt and vigorous in the delivery
of an appropriate air and such an incident
was usually followed by an attempt to
render the 'Star-Spangled Banner with
the result, as one correspondent has de-
scribed it, that the singers were rarely
able to proceed with the song for more
than three lines. The repeated failures
finally led to combined efforts to rehearse
for the rendition of the American anthem
but without much success

Thanksgiving Day

President Roosevelt, in his an
nual Thanksgiving proclamation,
says:
With a nation, as with the in
dividuals who make up a nation,
material we'll being is an indispens-
able foundation. But the founda-
ton avails nothing by itself. That
life is wasted and worse than vast
ed, which is spent in piling heap
upon heap, those things which
minister merely to the pleasure and
the power that rests only on wealth.
Upon material wel1-being as a
foundation must be raised the
structure of the lofty life, of the
spirit, if this nation is properly to
fulfill its great mission and to &C
complish all that we hope and de-
sire. The things of the body are
good, the things intellectual better,
but best of all are the things of the
soul, for, in the nation, as in the
individual in the long run it is
character that counts. Let us
therefore as a people set our faces
resolutely against evil, and with
broad charity, with kindness and
good will towards all men, with un-
finching determination to smile
down wrong, strive with all the
strength that is given us for right
eousness in public and in private
life.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, do set apart Thursday,
Nov. 20, as day of general
thanksgiving and prayer, and on
that day l recommend that the peo-
pie shall cease from their daily
work, and in their homes or in
their churches, meet devoutly to
thank the Almighty for the many
and great blessings they have re-
ceived in the past and to pray that
they may be given the strength so
to order their lives as to deserve a
continuation of those blessings in
the future

The States Magazine

The northwest is to have a new
magazine, one of general character
literary magazine, a magazine OF
| life. It's initial number will issue
in December.
Announcement has just been
made of the launching of a States
Magazine, with its home in the
Twin Cities, and principal Office of
business in New York Life Build
ing, Minneapolis. -
The States" will be devoted to
the interests of the northwest. 1t
will contain strong puplic spirited
articles, editorials, interesting and
wholesome fiction and pertinent
and timely departments on fash
ions, the household, farm, ect.
The contributors will be men and
women whose ability is recognized
in local and national circles. The
character of the articles will be de-
termined by the vital interest they
sustain to the people of the north
west as a whole.
The editorial section will be in
the hands of one of the most bril-
liant men in the Northwest, Prof.
Richard Watson Cooper, of the
department of English literature,
Hamline University, man whose
opinions will be instructive and far
reaching in their character.
The publishers in their an
nouncement will say in part: The
States Magazine, an American thing
will naturally be an expression of
American life by American men
and women, and frankly aims to
stimulate that life into a more joy
Gus, beautiful, saner, deeper ex-
preston of itself. We need offer
no apologies for using local talent
when we find it beside us or speak
ing of local matters when they have
human interest in them. We dare
be local without being provincial so
long as we sit on the earth with the
universe about us. +"
Those who believe the greatness
of or are interested in the north
west should not fail to secure
copy of the States" for December
and to follow it thereafter from
month to month. Subscription
