leading to the Lower Farm, July
18th 1918, age 13 years 9 months
and days. He was a student
in the Sth grade and being of a
nervous, sensitive temperament
overworked in trying to pass the
Sth grade examination, broke
down and failed. This so preyed
upon his mindas to throw him
into a spell of brain fever, from
the effects of which he never re-
covered. His parents are Films
and the young man had to learn
the English language as he went
along with his CLASSES. This
was too much for his sensitive
nature and he passed away as
above stated. The moral is,
never to crowd a nsrveous SEN
sitive child in his school work.
The funeral was largely attended
by friends and classmates o. the
young man, conducted by Rev.
Walter Ross, pastor of the Me-
thodist Church. The floral Of

young man.

, they all, after being here for a
month or two, increase in weight
from fifteen to twenty pounds,
and in good looks twenty five per
cent. The girls recognize this
and it is pretty hard to get ahead
of the young men clothed in the
Oliv5 Drab, and the young dusky
maidens on the reservation take

men that live here stand around
