In all probability no efforts will be
made by the saloonists OF the city to

If the petition was based on the last
election, when the vote was light and
the anti-saloon forces made efforts to
get all the opposition out

One fine morning in June two sisters
Ruth and Pearl were quarreling which
one Of them could sweep the best.
Pearl thought she could do It the
best and Ruth thought she could do it
the best, so they wanted their papa to
be the Judge.
, So the next morning Mr.. Smith, the
girls papa, told Ruth to go and sweep
his office. She was very much pleased
with having her fathers Work, SO she
went at once and swept it. then she
went into the room where her papa
was reading and told him she had
done It very neatly.
And the next morning he told Pearl
to 60 and sweep his office and while
Pearl was lifting UP little box that

CHARLIE A HAPPY BOY.

Dear Editor:-Charlie was poor
boy and his mother, sister and himself
lived alone. His father died when he
was eight years old and now he was
Is years old.
He had often tried to get place to
work, but could not get one, but one
day he said to himself, II will go to
the telegraph Office" He inquired and
the clerk said yes, so he had job at
last.
So he worked a week and then he
got fifty cents day. On day he took
a message to the bank. Just as he
had given the message robber came
in. In his hand he carried some
dynamite. He went to the clerk and
said Give me some money, or I'll
blow this up" The clerk was old and
tainted. Charlie had taken it all, in
and snatched the explosive from the
burglar and ran to the police office.
The police was soon there and took
the burglar. Mr.. Brown, for that
was the clerks name, soon recovered.
Charlie went back to his work.
A man came to Charles house and
knocked. Charles mother came to
the door. He asked IL she had Char
lies picture. She said yes, SO she ask
ed him what he wanted it for. He said
II have not time to tell you: 1t will
be in the paper. You can buy one and
it will there
So she send Edith out and got it.
Charlie bought one, too, and was
much surprised to see his picture in
the paper and went home and his
mother told him all about it. As he
was passing the bank Mr.. Brown came
out and gave him a thousand dollars
He went home and told his mother.
Then in a week they moved into a
nice house and he got good position.

Dear Juniors: As we live about
three miles from the Indian reserva

the Indian pow-wow which attended
We had to go up on the Omaha Indian
reservation about twelve miles to gel
to the pow-wow grounds.
They had great many acres in the
grounds and had 1t all fenced. II
cost dollar for each buggy to go In.
The pow-wow resembled q Fourth OF
July celebration, only there were az
many Indians as white people attend
ed.
They had hundreds OF tents and they
were all on the top of some high
hills.
Many OF the Indians were dressed in
blankets and carried the babies on
boards.
There were Indians Of all ages there
from little babies to old gray haired
men. Many of the older men had
their hair braided with long pieces of
fur braided in at the end, but the
younger ones had their hair cut OH
like the white men. They were dress
ed in many different ways. Some had
one feather in their hair while some
had feathers in their hats.
The Indians come here from many
different places during the pow-wow.
Some came from the Sioux reserva-
ton up in the northern part Of Ne
braska and some come clear from
Oklahoma. They had what they called
a give-away. They gave away 172
horses besides many other things.
After the give-away they had a regu-
lar old fashioned Indian dance.
The Indians that danced were dress
ed in buckskin suits trimmed in bells.
Their head dress was made of feath-
ers and their faces were painted with
war paint When they walked or
danced they seemed to know just
what step to take to make the bells
ring just right.
They had a large urum which they
called the Mccall drum. The Indians
that dfoced were from Oklahoma and
seemed very proud.
They had merry-go-round and
many stands:
My cousin and got some bead pic
ture frames which the Indians had
made l had never seen very many
Indians until I attended the pow-wow
so it was quite a curiosity to me.
AS my letter is getting long I will
close.
