Santa Claus at the Asylum.

Superintendent Hummer of the
Indian Asylum gave his Indians a
happy Christmas and they seemed to
enjoy the occasion as much as those
who helped to make it pleasant for
them. a big Christmas tree was
handsomely decorated and it con-
tanned presents for every one Of the
government wards. Rev. Cave ottici-
aztec as Santa Claus and handed out
the presents calling the name of each,
and this was bit of Indian pro-
nounciation that gave the Reverend
gentleman a high appreciation Of the
language. Employees were assistants
to Santa and thus the owner got
what was coming, consisting Of sus-
penders for the men, very necessary
article among them, handkerchiefs
for the women, with fruit, nuts,
candies and other little things to
make them happy, for an Indian is a
good deal Of a Child after all. They
eujoyed the tree and the program and
laughed and talked among themselves
in a way that expressed great satis-
faction.
DR.. Hummer has got affairs at the
Asylum we'll in hand and everything
is running as smooth as clock.

When I was thirteen my mother was

when the gold fever swept America
and all roads led to Pixies peak. Our
| Salt Creek valley home lay on one Of
| the most travelled routes.
Hotel building and furnishing are
| not on the free list. So l wanted to
help raise money for our Valley Grove
| House. With an older boy named
Dave Phillips l planned a trapping
| trip. Winter was setting in when we
| started
We bought an OK team and wagon

| 1t courses more than $50 miles from
Leavenworth, but the country about it
was reputed rich in beaver. l acted as
| scout on the journey, going ahead to
pick out trails, locate camping grounds
and look out for breakers. The fnfor-
nation concerning the beaver proved
correct The game was indeed so plen-
tiful that we concluded to pitch per-
manent camp and see the winter out.

enlarged it to the dimensions of de-

rifles, we found a huge bear intent

the other so badly hurt that it could

Phillips, who was in the lead, fred

savagery Of hunger, and the infuriated
monster rushed upon Phillips. Dave
leaped back, but his foot slipped on q
bit Of Ice, and he went down with a
thud. his rifle flying from bis hand as
he struck.
A bullet from my rifle entered the

A fortnight passed. And one day,

Then he went to work to improvise
