THE PARTY AT THE SCHOOL
HOUSE.
By Helen Catlin.
One day last winter our teacher
asked the children if we wanted a
contest in spelling and we all said
"yes". So our teacher divided the
seventh and eighth grade spelling
class and there wasn't an even num-
Der so she took the odd one and added
it to each side. The side that got beat
had to give dinner to the other side.
Well, my side got beat so my mama
baked me nice cake and took me to
school that morning. So when it came
noon the teacher picked out some
girls to help her serve the dinner
and was one of them. We had nap
kins and we put them on the desks
and put the dinner on them and then
we called in the other children. Our
teacher had bought some candy and
peanuts and she treated us to them.
There was one boy who brought some
little cakes which had some little mud
turtles on. Of course, they weren't

FINDING THE OWNER OF THE
HORSE.
By Sylvan Kuhn.
There was a traveller going along
the road on an old gray horse. He
met an Indian on young colt. The
man asked the Indian to trade horses.
The Indian would not so the man took
the horse by force. The Indian being
quite fast on foot ran to the nearest
police station, the man following him.
The man told the Judge that the In
dian stole the colt from him. The
Indian put his coat over the colts
head and said: (Which eye is he blind
in?" The man said: "He is blind in
the right eye" Then the Indian took
off the coat and said: "He isn't blind
in either eye." In this way they found
the owner of the horse.

esting and cute. l am sure our little

INDIANS GET
PAYMENT
REPRESENTATIVE OF INTERIOR
DEPARTMENT SAYS FINAL DIS
eURSEmENT HAS BEEN MADE
TO cHEROkEES.

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 22.-Arriying in
Tulsa from Washington Friday morn
ing. Preston c. West, solicitor of the
department OF the interior whose
home has been at Muskogee for the
past several years, stated that the
last fund to be distributed among the
members OF the Cherokee tribe has
been given out This distribution
brought to each Indian of that ma
ton something like 90 or 81, totaling
a large sum.
In speaking Of the work that has
been done by the department OF the
interior in connection with the differ
ent tribes of Indians in the United
States during the past several months,
Mr.. West stated that matters which
have been under consideration for
the past fifteen years have been
cleared up and that the office has
been so systematized that any propo
sition coming from the Indians at
the present time can be settled within
sixty days from the time it is brought
to the attention of the department
In case of necessity it can be giyer
immediate attention. Most Of the ole
matters which have cleared up since
the time Mr.. West took up his worF
with the department, pertained tC
the land and pension work.
The solicitor for the interior de
partment was loud in his praise o
President Wilson and the latter!
policies. He said: 1T was a hare
! task to break the crust after th'
new administration came in and TO
a long time it seemed that we woulC
not get the red tape systems eliml
mated but much of that has beef
cleared away now so that matter
pertaining to Indian lands Will re
ceive prompt attention.
Mr.. West expressed himself a
heartily in favor of the Hastings bill
which provides for more dlrec
handling of the Indian anairs b.

DO THIS FIRST-Y0U!

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a wom-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood making oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
,ionafter sickness. Nurscscycrywhere
ADVOCATED it, SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.
