be about like a mince pie without the

and he has been in town upon every
Red man occasion since. In fact it
comes time for Mr.. Day to lay aside
this mortal toll and find peace and
rest in heaven, he will submit an ap-
pliCation for transfer card from his
seat in heaven to OsEaloOsa beside
Chief Mahaska. Mr.. Day is old in
Red men works but Young in spirit
and the amount of enthusiasm stirred
up by the very presence of the man
is wonderful
