morning of the notable day arrives
everything will be in readiness fol

that the backward weather will cause
scarcity Of flowers. Every effort Is
being made to overcome this fear

llieved that by strenuous effort enough
will be received to place on each
grave pretty tribute Of bright how,

It was a beautiful, conception that
each OF the children be requested TO
bring individual boauets or lunches
OF flowers to be added to the genera
collection. 1t will prove sincere

the school children of 1918 to the fai-

BEAR WAS HIS INDIAN WIFE.
Where the Hunter Shot Her Is Now Called Bear.
House.

Along one Of the branches Of the Cheyenne
river in South Dakota there stands a hill called
Matoti, or Bears House. Tradition tells this
Indian legend about it:
Once upon a time an Indian hunter was out
on the chase. He wandered for many a day
through forest and plain, over hill and dale, till
he finally came to a spot where Bears House
now is. Here he hunted for a while until one day
he met a beautiful Indian woman.
AS soon az he saw her he wanted to marry
her. Long ind hard was the wooing. for the
indian woman was unwilling to marry the
stranger. AT last she consented, but she made
the stranger promise that he would never in the
future hunt or kill the bear. This animal was he.
totem, sacred to her and an object Of her wor
ship. The hunter faithfully promised to obey her
wishes and to hunt all other animals and leave
the bear unframed. Then they were married
and lived on in happiness and contentment fol
many day.
Ones it happened that the hunter started on the
chase. Early he went and roamed all through
the nelghboring forest without killing a single
thing. AT last he became weary and tired from
the chase and resolved to return to his wigwam
AS he was approaching his home he saw in the
dusky twilight the dark and shaggy form of q
huge bear making straight for the wigwam.
Now my wife will be lost" he thought $50,
If the bear reaches there before me he will
surely kill her"
Doubt at first stayed his hand. for he reme,n
bered his marriage vow. But fear and anxiet,
overcame his doubts. He raised his bow to hi,
shoulder and aimed at the animal. One arrow
sent straight to the heart laid the animal low
When the Indian came near he saw instead n,
the bear the lifeless form of his wife. The hr
where they lived is still called the Rear,s uo,so
or Matoti Hill.
