| is cut short, and in some cases that of the girls. Follows spraying of the heads with kerosene and diligent use of fine-tooth combs. This delousing process is repeated every morning, the pupils accumulating new supplies of vermin every night.
 No matter how tame child may become in school, week at home makes him as wild again as ever. A child that insisted on sitting in Mrs. Anderson's lap at every opportunity during the last term, two weeks later, when she visited the village, ran from her, screaming. One of the greatest problems the service has is to find employment and homes for the grad uates where they will be entirely away from tribal influences.
 You take the clean, well-behaved servant girls you have right here in Flagstaff" Mir. Anderson said, land let them go back to their villages for a week and you couldn't recognize them. They will not only be dirty, but will hide from their present employers as though they never knew them." The little fellows are crazy over baseball, and when they play, the old bucks will come forth from their vil- lages, discarding their natural re- serve, wave their blankets and howl like dervishes.
 The kids have no native words ap- plicable to baseball. They can't talk | it in their own dialect. So, when they are playing, they keep up an incessant bowling of every English word they know, quite regardless of whether it fits the occasion or not. If they want batter to line it out, they are as likely to shout, "Can the cat see the mouse?" as anything else.
 MT. Mark recently sent challenge in behalf of his smallest players to Mir. Anderson, who asked his boys if they wanted to go over to Oraibi and play. Some of them-in fact, many of their parents--had never been to Oraibi, only 6 miles away. They an swered never a word, but looked at each other and finally began to grin. That was answer enough. Then he asked them if. their parents would let them go. No response, not even a grin this time. But they carried away all their playing paraphernalia that night. Next morning, MT. Anderson told his wife:
 "Those boys are going to Oraibi to- day if I have to take a gun and go over there and gather them up."
 But they were all at hand, bright and early.
 The boys were so nervous when they went in to warm up at Oraibi that they couldn't stop anything. Mir Anderson pretty nearly gave up hope of carrying away the bacon. But when the game was called, they grit ted their teeth, stood on their toes, and went to it. They won--all the way--on sheer nerve.
 Yukeyoma, shortly after his release by the government, was caught cross ing the campus one day, and induced to come into the school building, where he was shown through the com missary, the kitchen, where the girls were being taught to cook, the sew ing room, and, in fact, was given q "once over" of every phase of the manual training and domestic science work, the children even being lined up to sing for him.
 He had little to say, but was vis- ibly impressed.
 q would like to have given him the best outfit of clothes and shoes had in the commissary," MT. Ander- son said, "but I knew very well he would not have accepted them. He wants nothing from the whites or the government, and is unalterably op- posed to his people associating with or accepting anything from us"
 Tempest and Sunshine,y as Loren 70 s. Hubbell, Sr., and Cyclone Bill" Beck classify themselves when to- gether, vastly helped to entertain the attendants at court. These two pio-i neers, holding diverse opinions politi- cally, are fast friends. Both are so well read and so full of "reminiscences and fluent in expression, that it is a never-cloying joy to "set an lissen." MT. Beck made the legal profession the target for several good stories, among them about criminal case that was tried in New Mexico The especially vituperative, referring to a WOfndH WlLHeSS dS that TeHldrkdDle Texas woman who could remember nothing adverse to the defendant, but showed a remarkable memory for all most every detail that was favorable to him." He also referred to male witness as "that bad man from Texas with gun a foot and half long, who showed such remarkable facility in forgetting any fact that might in jure the defense, but had no trouble at all in remembering everything that favored it."
 When he had finished, the defend ants attorney arose and said:
 "May it please the court. l am an old man, from Texas, ignorant, and in my old age and ignorance I failed to ask the members of the jury a question I had every right to ask
