OF the Kiowa Indian Tribe.

Every Indian girl worked. Until
our people began to live like white
people, work was a part Of her very
life. AS soon as she was big enough
she helped her mother carry wood
and water; she picked berries, dug
roots, tanned the skins of animals
which she made into clothing.
Among the many other things she
did, was to cook. In the old days
when the hunter brought in the buff
falo, deer. or other game. the first
thing she helped her mother do was
to cut a piece of the meat as an Of
fering to her god. This was put upon
a pole behind the tepee. 1t was the
Indians way of thanking her god for
the food. After that. she might fix
tender pieces uf the steak on the
ends of short sticks, thrust the other
ends of the sticks into the ground
near the fire. slanting toward it. But
Just near enough so that the meat
would not burn. When the juice be-
gan to drip from the broiling meat.
1t fell into a cup-often made of buff
falo horn-on the ground beneath 1t.
The marrow bones were put into the
fire and roasted.
Those two way were the easiest
ways for our people to cook, and they

deed, for many, many days, at times,
there vas nothing else to eat. For
future use the meat was cut into thin
strips and dried on scaffolds of poles
in the sun or over a slow fire.
While 1t is true that she worked
hard, the Indian girl was never driven
to a task; she was never a drudge nor,
a slave: she worked gladly with joy
In her heart and a song IN her lips.
Until the Indian learned the white
mans ways. such a thing as a girl who
did not work, was unknown. But
while she was always busy at some-
thing. there was variety in plenty. In
the long winter evenings there were
gatherings OF the peope in some one
of the large tepees to listen Il the
legends OF the tribe. These, togeth-
er with stories of the heroic doings
of mighty men of the past made up
In part the unwritten Bible of her
people. And they Influenced her life
as truly as do the written Scriptures
Of the most devout Christian.

young men and women met together

PETER FINDS A MUDHOLE
nv the Story LADY.

The gang was trudging along a
dusty road. Every one was hot, tired
and dirty. They had gone to their
favorite swimming and fishing hole
and to their great disgust had found
1t quite dried up. Peter who was in
Billy who was behind him, bumped
into him.
What's the matter?" demanded
Billy.
For an answer Peter dlved under
the fence and the rest followed Xix
80 many sheep. A thrifty farmer
with q gasoline engine q an inn
mense water tank for his stock. He
piped the overflow to a small pond
for his chickens and ducks. The water
was fairly clean except at one end
where some small pigs were burrow-
ing joyously in the mud.
With one accord the boys began
30 strip and they were soon splashlng
in the cool depths of Farmer Burns
duck pond. They began a water fight
and Peter caught a pig. He was stand
ing in the middle of the pond hold
ing the kicking muddy creature tight
to him and Billy and Hal were out
on the ground trying to catch them
a pig when the sound of a a sent
them scurrying to the pond. They
all waded in as deep as they could
and turning their backs waited for the
invaders to go by.
But they didn't go by. They stop
ped and footed their horns and the
boys had to turn around n look.
There was Rogers father in Rogers
new car with Mary Ellen and her
mother. More than that there was
Mama Palmer in her new car and
Aunt Phoebe was with her.
Roger hid his eyes at the sight and
shivered. But Peter waved his hand
gayly.
'Drive on up the road and turr
around and we'll be ready to go back
with you" he called.
It was a very subdued bunch OF
BOYS that rode back to town on the
fender of the ears as 1t was decided
that they were too dirty to ride any
where else.
When Peter was again clean he was
told that his father would speak %
him in the library. When he got there
he found his father more embarrassed
than he was.
