he was told to get headache tablet
that was in a bureau drawer. THIS
he did. After this he and his lady

A Christmas Program at the Indian
School

Friday night, December y, the
Wood Indian Day School just south
Of town gave heir Christmas pro
gram for the benefit of pupils anC
parents, and ali~ 40 might be inter
I.ested in the Indian work. The alteI
of the school was decorated with rec
and green crepe paper festoons, and
numerous paper chains made by the
pupils, who took great interest il
them, adorned the room,
One of the pathetic scenes was the
representation of our original Christ
mas night, so long ago. In this, the
rude, miniature manger filled with
hay from the barn, stood at the rear
of the platform, and overhead hung
the huge &tar of Bethlehem,' that
we know so much about. And near
TO the right, an angel in flowing robes
swung in space, with it's trumpet ol
silver, seemingly adorniug the small
manger below. Over all, in large
silver letters was d reminder of the
first appeal to the world on that
eventful night, peace on Earth
Good Will Toward Men"
Holly and Christmas bells formed
ii good part of the decorations, and a
we'll loaded tree of sparkling tinsel
aud an array Of toys was the objrct OF
Interest TO the little ones. Santa
Claus entered to greet them all heart
lily, and distributed quite a number
of dolls and TOYS to each. They also
received nuts, pop corn and candies
in the bright colored proverbial
stocking. A large crowd OF Indians
were in attendance and it was also
visited by some of the neighbors from
town, and their field matron, Mrs
Bonga, Their presence was greatl.y
appreciated by the school people and
Indians.
The program was not IL lengthy
one, but lasted for couple Of hours
end the children took great interest
and did well. Each went happily
home wishing to all a very Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year
until the next Yuletide celebration. .-
