ChildhOOd's HOLY Wrath

We sprint here and there through crowded, gasp
ing stores. We thrust loiterers with our elbows, we
push venerable ladies away from handkerchief
tiers, we hurl imprecations at traffic jams, and
feverishly label Christmas the biggest commercial
plot of the ages.
But-and this "but" is everlasting
A tiny wrath persistently pursues us rollickng.
carefree wrath that cannot shake off. 1t hovers
just over the rocking horses the electric trains the
drums and the horns in the department stores.
1t shines back at us out of the faces of the boys
and girls we on the snowy streets at play in
doors on these long winter evenings.
Its ghost leaps out Of the past to allure US to
tinker with mechanical steam shovel or mama"
doll that We come across aunt gifts for "Aunt
Emma's boy and girl, William ard Mary
1t is wrath never can elude no matter how
old or how Its ghostly hands are
locked warmly about hearts forever. It's clean,
fresh face laughs at frowns.
When we sit at the freside, watching the bewitch-
ing figures that leap and dance in the cracking
flames, the wrath mocks US. Or, pleasantly, it
takes our hands and wends along the old, familiar
way to the home Of youth leading down the we'll
remembered street whereon we know every house
and every tree and every single face that passes.
1t is the wrath of our childhood, and we never can
quite escape it's charm.

Indians Make Medicine
(St. Paul Dispatch)

(St. Paul Dispatch)
In Buffalo county, S. d., the Indian population
to the polls and elected entire county ticket
Of red mcn-the first time in American history that
such event has been recorded. Thomas Eagle
man, elected clerk cf court, says: What is the
of the government educating the Indians If
they not to take their proper place in the affairs
of the county," an utterly and entirely American
doctrine that many white people have yet to learn.
But while this exhibition of interest in affairs of
government taking place in South Dakota,
Indians in Nevada holding election. Hav
ing declared their reversion to the beliefs of their
ancestors, they voting upon the selection of
medicine mana spiritual mental and physical
adviser and among the candidates several
young Indians who had received modern education
in The government schools and colleges. An aged
brave elected and feast and sun dance were
held in honor Of the occasion, in which the yourger
and defeated candidates took part.
The contrasting incidents simply teach that the
Indian differs little from whose skins are Of
another color. The protest, by those who would
go back to the ways Of our fathers, against the
younger generation and its ways, is case in point.
The Nevada Indian will doubtless view with alarm
the action of his South Dakota brothers, and the
latter will regard the Nevada red men as retrograd-
ing old fogies

Pennies For Health

Twenty years ago tuberculosis claimed the lives
of 200 out Of every 100000 people in this country
Its ravages were on the increase.
In the year 1907 little stickers bearing the cross
OF health began appearing on few envelopes and
packages at Christmas time. In that year the SALE
at penny each, amounted to So OOO-not much but
a starter.
Last year $4,9OO,O0O realized through the sale
nf these Christmas seals and the campaign against
the dreaded white plague went into it's nineteenth
year. With what results
The death rate from tuberculosis has been cut
more than half during those 10 years, last years
toll being 80 out of every 100000 people, Over the
period OF years that the sale of stamps has sup
ported the anti-tuberculosis campaign, the lives of
l3OO,OOO people have been saved, little more than
one one-hundredth of the entire population Of the
United States!
Capitalizing the lives that have been saved at
10000 EACH the saving in wealth alone amounts to
$1,000, 100000.
But there is an intangible saving greater than
mere figures and numbers can tell. It is represent
