Autumn was at hand. Soon it would
be winter on the plains. 1t was more

left st. Louis. The Mandan village
lay at a great wilderness crossroads,
or, rather, at the apex of a triangle,
beyond which non had gone.
Big White, chief Of the Mandans,
welcomed the party as friends, for he
was quick to grasp the advantage the
white mems goods gave his people over
the neighboring tribes and also quick
to understand the virtue Of competi-

traded with the Assiniboines, who are
foolish people, and have taken all their
goods away from them. We have kill

"We are at a blank wall here. We

C~harbonneau married still another
wife, a girl not over sixteen years of
age, I should judge. He bought her.
She was a slave, a captive brought
down from somewhere up the river
by a war party. She is a pleasant
girl and always smiles. She seems
friendly to us. See the moccasins she
made for me but now. And I only had
to knock her husband down once for
beating her"
"Lucky mani" grinned William

bering the entertainment, which was
given in the high school AUDITORIUM
by the pupils Of Lamar school. under
direction OF Mrs Robert Townsend.
The letter says.
It was with regret that we left the
good city Of II Pasio. and especially the
fact that We did not have the desired
pleasure OF seeing you the day OF de-
parture.
This is to assure you that your ex-
IRENE kindness to US viii never be
forgotten and We will live in hope
that We may return to be entertained
at some future time.
Personally I am more than pleased
that our last night with you could
have been with you and your activi-
ties. The one black spot in our life
there IS that circumstances were such
that we could not have imposed upon
your splendid fellowship for more
and more OF the same and all the
variations. How much could have
been added TO the memories we will
carry TO the trenches with u.s.
We must not complain, as this IS
selfish when We reflect upon all you
had TO do. We must only be grateful
for that that we received, which was
doubtless more than we were really
entitled to when there were others
more worthy than we.
It is almost needless TO tell you
that we are with you heart and soul
and always viii be. May the troops
there continue to work with you and
to appreciate the noble work you and
your cOWorkers are doing
