Murder. through the liquor
route. Three of the
Indians. John Wallatsi. Eli Parr and
Anthony Sumpkin were suicides. Old
Chief Peo died while insane but his
malady was due to whiskey Each
case was a case of murder and the
crimes may be laid at the feet of To-
cal bootleggers who supply Indians
with whisky in violation of law. If
on the judgment Day those fellows
are brought to the bar their hands
will be red with blood and large
splotches may be found on the robes
of officials who have failed to throw
the protection of the law around a
people who because of their back
wardness need such protection sadly.

If you are sitting merely for rest, re-

Peter Rabbit found 1t, So. You see.

But somehow he managed to sit still.
He listened and listened and listened.

Then he sat up very straight again and

that no one could fool him with that

in a tree top. Then Peter remem-
bered something. Eagerly he looked
along the nearest old rail fence. Ha!

Sammy Jays beautiful coat. Peters
heart gave a great leap Of JOY, and
he started in the direction Of the old

would take him.
"Hello. Winsome!" cried Peter when
quite out Of breath, he reached the

First Real Inaugural Ball.

When Mr.. Wilson refused to sane
ton the inaugural ball he struck q
blow at q tradition as old as the
presidency. When the arrangements
were being made Tor Wsshington's
FIRST Inauguration the managers Of the
City Assembly, the fashionable dane:
ing class of New York, planned to give
an Inauguration ball. But Mrs. Wash
iugton did not accompany the presi-
dent to New York. and the design
was abandoned. Just one week later.
however, a ball was given in Wash
ington's honor at the assembly rooms
on Broadway. near Wall street. About,
900 persons were present, Guiding
Washington and Adams. The presi-
dent danced several times during the
evening. taking part in the cotillion,S
the minuet and other dances. The
function, while sometimes spoken of
as the inaugural ball, was entirely pri-l
vate. The earliest real inaugural ball
was given at Madison's first inaugura-
tlon, and the center OF attraction was,
OF course, Dolly Madison. The ball
has been omitted several times. On
tho other hand, at Van Buren's and
Folks, inauguration two balls we're
given and at the elder Harrison's and
Taylor's> Installations there were no
fewer than three. all OF which were
attended by the respective presidents.
