Glove Lore.

Nothing looks worse than shabby
gloves, and as they are expensive ar
ticles In dress, they require a little
management. A good glove will. with
care, outlast three cheap ones. Do not
wear your best gloves at night. The
heat of the gas, etc., gives moisture
to the hands that spoils the gloves; do
not wear them In very wet weather, as
carrying umbrellas and drops OF rain
spoil them.

In all cases where it is possible we hope to keep for the Indian and for us what was best in his old culture. The Indians themselves must be used in such education: many of their old men can speak as sincerely, IS fer vently and as eloquently of duty as any white teacher. and those old men are the very teachers best fitted to perpetuate the Indian poetry and nu- sic The effort should be to develop the existing art-wh ether in silver making. pottery making, blanket and basket weaving, or lace knitting-and rot to replace it by servile and me chanical copying This is only to ap- ply to the Indian a principle which ought to be recognized among all our people: a great art must be living, must spring from the soul of the peo- pie: if it represents merely copying, an imitation and if it is confined to a small caste it cannot be great.
 The majority must change gradually. the change comDlete.

The WHITE MANS FOOT
 Pima Indian Reservation,
Sacaton, Arizona,


 December 29, 1911 At the coming of the white men, and we know not how many ages be- fore, the Pima and Papago Indians owned and inhabited the country north from the Mexican line and including the valleys of the Gila and Salt rivers These two tribes spoke the same lan- guage, but the Pimas (river peopie were engaged mainly in agriculture while the Papagoes (desert people) de- pended mainly on stock raising for a living.
 Reports of army officers and others will show that these Indians were kindly disposed toward the whites, fur nishing food, shelter and guidance to many an unfortunate pioneer.
 In the days when Arizona was the rendezvous of outlaws and desperadoes. the white traveller found safety among the Pimas; the United States army also found faithful and effective help in the friendly Pimas while subduing warlike tribes in this part of the country
 Before these hostile tribes were con- quered but few white settlers were at tracted to the Pima valleys. but after peace was made the white pioneer was not slow to sec the advantages offered by the rich soil. mild climate. and irri- gating waters of the Giia river. Now, while the desert is vast, the supply of good water for irrigation is limited. As early as 1888 the agent in charge of the Pima reservation in an official re- port said:

AN INDIAN CAMP AT NIGHT

The Indian camps are quite amaZ- ing in some respects. When the In- dians come to a place near a river where they wish to camp, they stop, and the squawS begin at once unload ing the horses and dogs. The men never think of helping set up the lodges. The work of building their lodges merely consists of setting up some poles and stretching buffalo robes over them. It is only a few minutes after they stop to camp be- lodges erected.
 The squaws go about doing the work. screaming to the dogs and to one another they do not talk in a voice as we do. As the children run about, playing, they make a great deal of noise. The young girls go down near the river, where they laugh and talk together. All this time the men sit in groups on the ground, talking.
 As night draws nearer, bright fires blaze up in front of the many lodges and light up the whole village. The squaws busy themselves. in preparing the evening meal Presently every thing becomes quiet. The children leave their play and the women stop screaming. A great hush comes over everything broken only by the bark of the dogs or a wolf in the distance.
 This way of camping is not very ap- pealing to us, especially the part of letting the mothers and wives do ali of the work. The people seem to enjoy such a life though, but perhaps it is because they know of no other way.

INDIAN HOSPITALITY

~ lou know our practice If white man, in travelling through our country enters one of our cabins. we warm him if he is cold, we give him meat and drink that he may allay his hunger and thirst, and spread soft furs for him to rest and sleep on. We demand nothing in return.
 But if I go into white mans house and ask for victuals and drink, they say, Where is your money?" And if 1 have none they say, Get out, you Indian dogi" You see, they have not yet learned the little good things our mothers taught us when we were children.

It is often said that the Indian child. after receiving the best education that we can give, will return to barbarism at the first opportunity. It is a fact that some Indian children and youth do go back to the blanket and their wild life. How can they help it? Those who have been most successful in civilizing Indians, brought about a gradual separation from savage ways of living. and introduced various peace full industries among them. It was necessity. There is no virtue which I have not seen exemplified in some of the different Indian tribes with which I have had to do. As a rule, they kept their promises to me with wonderful fidelity, often putting themselves to extraordinary exertion and peril

A ENTERTAINMENT

One evening when I was a little girl about 10 years old. I said to my moth CT, "Oh. I wishI could do exactly as ] please for just one day" It was in- deed a big surprise, when mother an- swered. s'All right, my dear, you may try tomorrow I went to bed very happy over the thought that tomorrow I could do just as I pleased.
 I began the day by sleeping late. which caused me to have a terrible on my shoes or stockings and went down stairs. Much to my disappoint- ment I had to get my own breakfast.
 Then my misfortunes began. I went out doors, and not being used to going barefoot at once cut my foot on piece of glass mother had carelessly thrown out in the back yard.
 I was still determined to have good time Near my home lived family of children with whom mother did not want me to play because they were so rough in their games. I went there, but after we had played awhile they pushed and slapped me and finally sicked their dog on me, until at last ran home frightened and crying to tell mother. She would not sympathiZe with me- but laughed and said that I would know better next time.
 My next foolish action was to draw all the money out of my little savings bank and start toward the candy shop But on the way I lost it through crack in the sidewalk.
 When evening came after all these sad experiences I decided that mother knew best and resolved that I would never ask to do just as I pleased again, because I had such a miserable time.

What an Indian girl can do with the English language THE OLD ADOBE SCHOOL HOUSE

The old school house stood on a hill far away from the village. Its roof was old and faded with only a speclS of red paint here and there. The walls of the school house are partly washed down by rain and the windows were long, narrow and broken.
 When one looked through one of the broken windows, he would see only a small desk in the front of the room, a picture of our first president. George Washington, on the wall and the floor covered with dirt.
 This old adobe house was once a place where many school children gathered every day to learn their lessons
 It was here where many good times yere spent by the boys and girls who attended the school. But as time went on, the people of the village became prosperous and a better and more con- venient school was built for the chil- dren of the village. So the old adobe house was abandoned because of it's unfavorable location.

FROM A SIOUX INDIAN

Speaking of his early training Charles A. Eastman says:
 I felt no hatred for our tribal foes. looked upon them more a S the college athlete regards his rivals from another college. There was no thought of de- stroying a nation, taking away their country or reducing the people to serv- itude, for my race rather honored and bestowed gifts upon their enemies at the next peaceful meeting. until they had adopted the usages of the white mans warfare for spoliation and con quest.
 There was one unfortunate thing about my early training however that is l was taught never to spare a cit:- zen of the United States. although we were on friendly terms with the Cana dian white men. Dhe explanation is simple. My people had been turned out of some of the finest country in the world, now forming the great states of Minnesota and Iowa. The Americans pretended to buy the land at ten cents an acre, but never paid the price; the debt stands unpaid to this day. Because they did not pay, the Sioux protested; finally came the outbreak in 1862 in Minnesota. when many settlers were killed. and forth with our people, such as were left alive, were driven by the troops into exile.-''From the Deep Woods to Civi- lization' by Charles A.
