Chief Good Thunder
Gave Pipe to Lady
Living in MankatO

Who would not envy Miss Eta
Woleben, 1926 lie Sueur street, her
peace pipe which belonged to Chief
Good Thunder. And Miss Woleben
enjoys this unique relic more be-
cause she has the assurance that it
is genuine for Chief Good Thunder
presented it to her himself.
When Miss Woleben was working
on a Lake Crystal newspaper, known
then as The Union, and later chang
ed to the name Tribune, she spent
her vacation at Redwood Falls, Mimi,
with a friend she drove over to the
Sioux mission, conducted by the late
Bishop H. B. Whipple. She had al
ways wanted to see Chief Good Thund-
er, known over the country as good
injun."
She also wanted to purchase some
of the lace which the women were
making at the mission in the indus
trial classes. But upon her arrival
she found that all the lace had been
disposed of and all thread must be
used for a beautiful lace counter
pane which was to be sent TO the
Paris exposition. Therefore it was
an impossibility to purchase lace.

But she wanted a souviner any way.
She walked over to the little cabin
where Chief, and Mrs. Good Thunder
lived. Mrs. Good Thunder was work
ing at the mission and did not get to
talk with her.
Chief Good Thunder was lying in
a barrel-stave hammock swinging his
great grandson. When she approach
ed he arose ad offered her a seat. She
explained her disappointment about
the lace. Chief Good Thunder stood
for moment as if in study. II am

pipe stem is sixteen inches long, made
of hazel wood, the pit in the center
having been burned out. The bowl
part is a neatly constructed affair
made of stone from Pipestone. Ground

Thunder was smoking.
..He gave me the pipe in October
1899, and he died the next year in
December, 1885," said Miss Woleben.

Woleben. among the few necessary

fcials will ask for funds. It's a question of
Don't give very much, but what you do give,
give to me and mine" And most of the mem
bers know that if their district doesn't "get
something" they will "get theirs" after they ar
rive at home next spring. We hold no brief for
state legislators and we are always envious of
their opportunity for having three months plus
vacation, but We do feel that their constituents
are mighty prone to ask the impossible of them.
If every body would just please not ask for any
thing except the barest essentials for just a SEES
sion or two we believe it would be better all the
way around. State institutions and certain state
enterprises must be supported in the style to
which they have been accustomed. But lot of
the rest of things should wait.

SENATOR NELSON SPEAKS

Y OW prices for what the farmer sells, high

supply, is the difficulty.

Washington than paid year ago, and the min

did before the war. The strike of the miners and
the strike of the railroad shopmen, coming at the
same time, as they did, worked endless injury
to the country, and worst of all to the farmers.

yet emerged from the committee. When it does

than purchasing it in country.
"As long as the farmers are insisting on sup

eyes to the evils of the strikes that these men
engage in, it is pretty difficult to help them.

"The adverse facts of his unclean life

Roscoe Arbuckle." eve must remember,
of course, that jury did not find him
guilty of any crime. 1t is less than a
year since the happening and it is my
opinion that this man should be made to

Arthur Brisbane says, and we believe he say.
rightly, that moving pictures have nothing il
themselves, to do with leading a chap like Wal
lace Reid into the booze and drug habit The
trouble comes from chap like Wally who know:
nothing about handling money having big week
ly salary handed to him all of sudden. Unles:
man is well established in his principles he j.
apt to abuse this sudden wealth instead of using
it. But moving pictures are not necessity rot
ten because one of their stars makes fuke sucl
as Reid has made. Mr.. Brisbane continues tn,
thought thus:
"A young banker inherited huge for
tune, played the fool, loaded his house
boat with uncertain females, named the
boat Chastity" and sailed away. No
body in pulpit or press demanded sup
preston of banks. Everybody knew that
sudden money was the trouble.
Goal Oil Johnny" bathed in cham
payne, hired the opera house all to him
self Sudden money again. No one sug-
gested censorship Of oil wells. A major
ity of motion picture people, like the ma
jority of bankers and oil men, stand pro-
sperity well. Later they will stand it
better.
meanwhile the industry destined to
add 1000 per cent to human knowledge
within fifty years should not be made
responsible for the folly of an individual
unable to digest prosperity"

SOLONS WILL HOLD
EARLY SESSION TODAY
Short Session Will Begin at 8 p. NJ
Afternoon Gathering of Solons Ex-
pected Next MISREPRESENTATION on
Date of Final Adjournment

The Solons will gather at o'clock
this Saturday morning for sunrise
session. 1t is expected that the bust
ness of both branches will be speed
lily transacted so that the members
may take the forenoon trains for
their homes.
With the introduction Of new
measures practically at an end, there
is considerable speculation as to the
date of final adjournment of the Leg
islature. The time when new mat
tiers of general legislation could be
offered, expired last Tuesday, and the
only way that other bills may be
presented is by suspension of the
rules by unanimous consent. 1t is
unlikely that this privilege will be
granted except in great emergency.
The various committees have baen
busily at work every afternoon and
have many more hearings scheduled,
but they have already progressed so
far in their work that is probable
that tho Legislature will soon begin
to hold afternoon sessions. 1t is
predicted that the holding of after
noon sessions in both branches may
be commenced next week. In this
way the business will move very
swiftly.
1t is anticipated that the S1st ses-
sion will adjourn about the usual
time, either the last week in March
or the first in April.
