Legend and old association still holds
fast these wild Indians OF the plain and
forest. Hunting and fishing constitute
their chief means of livelihood. Strange
as It may seem. this tribe is increasing
in population, and slowly but surely ac-
quiring the white mans civilization. They
occupy a wild wooded and rocky territory
in and about the Lake of the Woods and
Winnepeg river. where large game
abounds in the forest, fur-bearing ami
mails are plentiful and fish in the waters
in great numbers await only the hook of

Covered all over with snow,
And Il was very pretty
With its boughs weighed down so low.
The next was a forest OF trees.
Covered with a snow blanket warm,
For Mother Nature provides a way
To keep her children from harm.
