any little boy whose head jus
peeps above the dining table
SS and who sits in the high chair
when he eats his meals? We'll, II So YOU
know Just how tall Fluffy was.
He was called Fluffy because his hair
stood out in a great fluffy bunch all over
his round little head. and whenever mamma
combed it she would say: "oh, what a
fluff Of curls and tangles!" And 90 Fluffy
began to be called Fluffy. CHS real name
was Paul Paul Peyton. Such a big, high
fa-lu-tin name for a little bit of boy as
high as the tabled
One day Fluffy wont out to play in the
front yard. It was such a fine place for
little boy 70 play, for it was all fenced
In and green grass grew as soft az velvet
all over the ground. And three big trees
gave great punches of shade, ana when
Fluffy got tired Of playing in the sun he
went under one OF the big trees and played
in the shade. And in one corner Of the
yard there was a huge PILE of sand, and
In this little soft mountain Fluffy would
dig great holes, and half hide himself in
them.
On this day Of which ! am telling you
Fluffy went to dig in the sand mountain
and was working away with his little
spade when something happened. He
heard a funny soft noise and when he
got up and glanced about what do you sup
pose he saw? Why, he saw a great black
animal that was standing right against
himl The animal was saying: "Purr-r-r
purr-r-r, purr-r-rr'
Now Fluffy was city boy and had
never been in the country where all sorts
Of animals are kept, and as his father
would not suffer a dog or cat about the
place, Fluffy was not yet acquainted with
those we'll known domestic animals And,
of course his father could not keep a COW
in the city, and instead of having horses
and carriage he had an automobile So,
as funny as IL may seem, Fluffy had never
seen COW, either. He had seen thousands
OF horses, and his mamma had told him
their name Maybe he had seen dogs, too,
but il so, he had forgotten all about them.
But cat he had never seen before.
So when this great black animal, with
bright eyes, stood up against him and said
''Purr-r-r!'' Fluffy began to scream from

A Trim to Chicago.

We started for Chicago at p. m. satur-

Chicago, so we got off there and went to
my Grandma schlund's house.
Ny sister, father and I went. Father
went back on the afternoon train and got

Gray Dove admired the young white girls
whom she met when she went to the village.
One day she sat on the bough Of q tree
watching some white girls who were play
ing on the banks of a small river between
the village and the reservation. After a
while she slipped to the ground and draw
ing a deep breath, said Me wish me white
girl; me no much happy; me like be white
girl" Then she turned and sped like a
deer back to her grandmother's tepee
where she lived, for she had no parents.
Some time after this Gray Dove noticed a
stir in camp. Warriors hurried here and
there and she noticed that they had dis
carded their blankets and had their faces
painted in many colors.
Gray Dove asked her grandmother what
it meant and the old squaw answered,
Ugh, Injun go fight paleface; paleface
shut Injun in; no room hunt Tonight In
jun have sun dance. Chief much angry
VITA paleface Tomorrow he go fight EN-. ="
Gray Dove was much alarmed. Were her
people to harm the pretty paleface girls ?
Suddenly a thought entered her mind.
Gray Dove could warn the palefaces. She
would go tonight. If she did this the chief
would be very angry. But perhaps the
palefaces would keep her with them. She
could try it at any rate.
Late that night small, dark figure could
be seen slipping silently out Of a tepee and
move along toward the white village.
After the agent at the station had put
out his light and retired he heard tap at
the door followed by a louder knock. He
got up and opened the door a little way.
Outside stood an Indian girl As the door
opened and the agent looked out she said
in a cautious voice, Let me in" He
opened the door and turned to light the
lamp but the girl laid her hand in his
arm. wait" she said. Me Gray Dove.

getting In the water and wood, he put on
his cap and went out to the garden swing
and let his mother do his work
Il love YOU, mother" said Harold's sister,
Fern. Il love you better than tongue can
tell Then she leased and pouted till her
mother was glad when she went to play.
II love you, mother" said Hazel, the
youngest of the three, and today I'll help
you all I can" So she went and rocked
the baby to sleep and then she took the
broom and swept and busted the rooms
until they shone.
Il love you, mother" again they said
as they were going to bed. Now, how do
you think their mother knew which one
of them really loved her best?

Immediately a messenger was dispatched
to the fort fifteen miles away for troops.

pie and after that she never wished she
was paleface girl for she was the heroine

NOODLE ~
the EairmoIit Normal
School Visits Schools
Here.

DR.. o. I. woodIey. president OF
the Fairmont Normal School, who
spent Friday in the public schools,
made fine Impression. In the morn
ing he made an excellent address to
the High School in which he empha-
sized the advantage Of having a phil
osophy Of life and an ideal. BY way
of illustration he quoted Excelsior,
and Interpreted the poets idea Of life.
AT 400 o'clock DR.. woodiey made
most pleasing and helpful address
in the Central building to the city
teachers. He chose for his subject,
Educational GleauIngs9 and qnoted
from the great teachers Of the present.
DR.. Woodley emphasized that there
is Joy in work and impressed the
fact that the teachers work, the
pupils work and the mechanics must
be entered into ioyfully. The teacher
must inspire the pupil with long
ing to know, to feel and to do. A
teacher should be judged by what her
pupils like as well as by what they
know. There are four sips in eduica-
tion-the child sees likes. desires and
will have.
One educator said: "a person
must previously have Travelled the
read over which he leads others"
II not he will be pointer or leader
and not a guide.
Perhaps the strongest point of the
whole address was in the quotation to
the effect that the child is unfortunate
If it steacher or parent is one out OF
whom the child element has gone,
Looking for the beautiful is a large
part of all the work and the true
teacher is always gathering the good
and beautiful things in art, music
and literature and sharing them with
her pupils.
Both superintendent and, teachers
were glad to hear DR.. woodley and
hope that he will come often.
