WHEN THE "BABY" STARTS TO
SCHOOL,.
Ny baby boy has gone away, my
precious baby boy,
My little, helpless baby boy; my weak
and helpless one,
Has grown so fast, and now, at last,
| have to let him go.
He needs much more than can give,
but ah. it hurts me so,
And oh, it makes me choke, and oh,
my heart is very sore,
To think that he won't need me as he
used to any more.
The stories that his mother tells, the
songs that mother sings,
VIII not he all important now. They
just are little things.
And there will be so much that's new;
his world is quite another,
From that he's known, In which his
greatest love and friend was
mother.
New work, new play, whole new life,
built on different plan,
My clinging baby boy replaced by THIS
"a sturdy man.
But when he trotted off to school, he
looked so small so young,
ny arms so acheo to hold him, and my
very heart was wrung.
And now I hoped he'd be afraid, and
beg he need not go.
But off he went, and then at noon, his
face was all aglow.
Because he loved 1t all so much, for
him it's just the dawn
OF everything that's good; but ali, my

The Indians of the Umatilla reser-

annual cowboy carnival is any more
Interesting than this Indian roundup.
quite a number of Pendleton people
were out yesterday in autos to watch
the Indians at their work. The In
dian buckaroos are being assisted by
a number OF well known white cow
boys and the work is being done with
dispatch. The corrals are in Buck
aroo Canyon which is flanked by
steep hills. Local people who saw
the horses driven to the corrals yes
terday declare the sight was one of
the most picturesque they ever saw.
Heralded by shouts of their pursu-
ers, the horses suddenly came into
the view of those below upon the sky
line made by the hills on either side
OF the canyon and, urged by the
buckarooes, charged down both sides
to meet and converge at the bottom.
This was about $3.50 and, after a short
meal, the buckarooes set to work
branding. Soon the unpleasant odor
of scared flesh dispersed the party Of
onlookers.
Attracted by the roundup, A. Phi
