Helping Indian Women

aOf the many women who have a
part in the government, there are
ppne whose work entails more diff
f1culty and hardships than that of
the sixty "matrons" of the Indian
service. The duty of these women
is to befrlend and advise the women
of all the Indian tribes living on
government reservations. Clad in
khaki. they ride over thousands of
square miles of desert and noun
tain. visiting the lonely hogans of
the Navajos, the nomad tepee
camps of the Apaches, the many
storied adobe dwellings of the
Pueblos. They have not only to
endure hardship, but also to win
the confidence of the women of a
barbaric race. There are sixty-nine
nurses in the service, and number
OF doctors whom they may call
upon to help them. 1t often re-
Quires the utmost tact upon the part
of the matron to gam admission for
the minions of science, for the In
dian women are very suspicious
Many a papoose is blind whose
sight might have been saved by
proper medical attention at birth
and there is great deal OF other
unnecessary suffering among the
Indians. To alleviate this is the
first duty of the matrons. They
also teach the Indian women how
to cook and sew and keep their
houses clean. They encourage the
native arts of the various tribes
pottery and blanket and basket
makine-and help the squaws to
find markets for these wares many
of which are highly priced in the

up to the third reader and long

pupil, and the rules of conduct were
said daily. After the rules came
the a B c class. whose recitation
was a hand to hand struggle
requiring no study time.
The rules of conduct that first
day interested little Sam Clemens.
He wondered how nearly he could
come to breaking them and escape
He experimental during the fore
noon aud received a warning
Another experiment would mean
correction. He did not expect to
be caught again. but when he least
expected it he was startled by a
command to 80 out and bring a
stick for his own punishment,
This was rather dazins. Ii was
sudden, and, then, he did not know
much about choosing sticks for
such a purpose. Jane Clemens
had commonly used her hand. A
second command was needed to
start him in the RIGHT direct on,
and he was still dazed when he
got outside. He had the forests OF
Missouri to select from, but choice
was not easy. Everything looked
too big and competent Even the
smallest switch had wiry look.
! But over the way was cooper S
shop There we're shavines outside,
and one had blown across just in
front of him. He picked it up and
eravely entering the room, handed
it to Mrs. Horr. So far as is known
it is the first example of that
humor which would one day make
little Sam famous before all the
