truths and fundamental principles of
Gods word. And especially is II the
duty and privilege of Christian parents
to indoctrinate their children in the
fundamental doctrines of the religious
faith. A child of 10 years of age can
very readily understand basic princi-
pies of religion when they are properly
taught. Children are capable of be-
ieving and obeying the gospel at a
much earlier age than we have gener-
ally supposed.
in this day of destructive biblical
criticism, when so many men, and es-
pecially young men, are being led "a
doubt the authenticity and supreme
authority of the bible, it behooves ms
as Christian parents TO fill the minds
of our children so full of bible knowl-
edge that there will be no room for
doubt The old-fashioned practice of
catechising children in religious
truths ought to be brought back into
practice.
Persuasion Needed.
Furthermore, believe we should
not only teach our children these
great truths of religion, but we
should earnestly and prayerfully labor
to bring them into the kingdom of God.
Persuade them to personally yield

INDIAN GIRL AND HER TRAVELS.
AS Government Ward She Is Protected
on Long Overland Journey.

Under the watchful paternal eye Of the
United States government Miss Matilda
Hancorne, q shapely and beautiful In
dian girl whose home is at Orick, Hum
boldt county, completed wearisome
journey across the continent Sunday.
Miss Hancorne has been a student at
the United States Indian school at Car
Isle, Pa, and when she decided to re
turn to her California mountains Supt.
M. Friedman at once began to pave
the way for a safe and pleasant journey
for his charge. Elizabeth Howell, an
other student, was coming west as far
as Elko, New, and Friedman put the two
girls on the train armed with all man
ner of letters and credentials. In the
meantime he had sent letters ahead of
the girls to assure their accommodations
on the way.
Aside from her ineXperience in travel
ing there was little need of the federal
government taking such precautions re
garding Miss Hancorne's journey, for
she is a bright, wideawake girl who
speaks English perfectly and bears her
self with an independent carriage. Ii
there is anything about her to attract
attention in a crowd it is her striking
beauty and the perfect taste with which
she dresses.
The girl sailed for Eureka on Tuesday.
She will have to stage it thirty-hVe miles
over rough roads. - San Francisco

Not Finished

Once on a time a lonely little boy
began praying to the Lord to send him a
baby brother. Regularly every night
before retiring, he got down on his
knees and offered up his petition. Fin
ally he suggested that he had waited a
long time, and hoped the Lord would
hurry UP matters.
In few days the ''little brother" ar
rived. Looking at the baby a little bit,

Foulards are high in favor this season
and really there is nothing more practical
and satisfactory for gown that must fit
many occasions. The model shown here
would be very good for a foulard, either
plain or figured. If plain material is used,
then the neck and lower sleeves should be
in an open work pattern in lace or batiste.
If figured silk is used then make the neck
and sleeves of net or chiffon cloth.
