The Dog Around Town
Have you feasted today, old fellow?Had a sniff of some meat or a bone?
Were you gen’rously fed upon gravy and bread By some one who called you their own !
Your ribs, sir! How plainly they’re showing- Your legs seem uncertain and weak!
Have you searched every street for a morsel to eat?Are you just a town dog, sir? Come, speak!
Were you housed from the snowstorm last night, sir?Did you sleep within some warm bed?
Did you hear the wind roar past the closed stable door While dreams of green fields filled your head!
Or did you crawl into some alley To curl up and shiver and know
The voice of slow death in the wind’s icy breath ’Neath your soft, creeping blanket of snow?
Has any one patted your head, sir?Or noted your great, sunken eye?
Have your unkempt ears heard any kind gentleword .From some human friend passing by?
Or have folks just kicked you aside, sir?Why, you're trembling now, where you stand!
Have they struck you so much that you quake at my touch
And cower at the sight of my hand?It’s the way of the world, poor old fellow!
Just a struggle for bread, or a bone;And some of us know how you feel when you go
To your bed in the alley, alone!Were you sleek and well cared for and handsome
Friends would feed you and love you on sight;But it’s different, sir, with a poor, luckless cur,
Just a dog around town! There, good-night!— Colorado Springs Gazette.
LO, THE POOI^ INDIAN
But He Made the White Man Sit Up and Take Notice in Ok
lahoma Convention
(Washington Dispatch to New York Times.)
Some fairly reliable reports have finally reached Washington from Oklahoma’ s constitutional convention, and they illustrate a new quality in the character of “ Lo, the Poor Indian.” More interesting even than the expected color-line legislation, temperance legislation, and the effort to restrict corporations is the fashion in which L. P. I. has put it all ever the white brother in the game of politics.
To Indian Territory was allotted fifty-five delegates in this constitutional convention, to Oklahoma fifty-five delegates, and to the Osage Nation two delegates. The whites of Oklahoma were settlers who had been educated from their youth up in primaries and nominating conventions, and Territorial elections had kept them in training, while Lo had none of these advantages. It therefore was natural that the Oklahoma delegates should have begun to caucus weeks before the convention, planning the distribution of the offices, committees, and the good things generally that are passed around in constitutional conventions, as well as legislatures. They gathered in Oklahoma City and glibly discussed the task of “ organizing” the untutored red man for his good and their profit.
The untutored red man was a shock when he arrived, for he had been educated at Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Michigan, or Chicago, and he wore tailor-made clothes and smart linen and the latest things in scarfs that had reached St. Louis. For the “ Indians” of the Territory are rich beyond the average avarice, because a paternal government has protected them in their poverty until it has reached boom values. The “ farmers,” as the Oklahoma delegates called them, were heads of banks, directors of railroads, promoters of gas and electric companies, and owners of farm mortgages, The untutored Indian had put forward his best man.
Oklahoma, on the other hand, selecting delegates according to the best traditions of American politics, had picked chin whiskers for honesty, windy little lawyers for oratory and a few bartenders here and there to lead in such manipulation as might be necessary.
Two neutral delegates from the Osage Nation looked over the two crowds and
MODEL SCHOOL—JAM ES! OWN EXPOSITION
threw their deciding votes with their fellow Indians. Some of the Oklahoma delegates liked the company in which they found themselves so little, or were so upset at being overlooked in the planned distribution of the pie that they sided with the enemy.
The white brother had planned to give Indian Territory a few j°nitorships. That is precisely what he got. The untutored red man hogged the whole business— presiding officer ?lerk, sergeant-at-arms, and the chairmaiisships of ail tne important committees.
But the end was not yet. The constitutional convention was to cut up the new State into counties. The Oklahoma delegates had made some plans about that. But they sat aghast and watched Lo carve up Indian Territory to give him the greater number of counties and consequently a majority of the legislature, and then turn about and rearrange the counties of Oklahoma for his own purposes.
The white man who represented Beaver County of Oklahoma roared and kicked most loudly over these things. Four towns in this county were contesting for the honor of being made the county seat. The politically ignorant Indian established Beaver County’s seat on a farm in the middle of the county and named it Buffalo, because, as one Indian gravely said, the only public improvements visible in this metropolis was a buffalo wallow.
Onon-gwat-go, a Chief of the Oneidas
The Indian race has its heroes of peace as well as those of war. ̂ Sometimes they have become known, for history has recorded many instances of splendid sacrifice and unselfish devotion on the part of our brother in red. More often they have escaped fame, and the influence for good which they have exerted in some obscure community stands recorded only in the hearts and lives of their neighbors and friends. Such was Cornelius Hill, whose Indian name was Onon-gwat- go, and who died at Oneida. Wisconsin, on the twenty-fifth of January, a marked man among the Oneidas.
The last of their long line of hereditary chiefs and the first Christian priest of their own blood, Cornelius Hill exerted and untold influence for good among his people. To him must be largely ascribed the credit for the progress of the Oneidas, which is so great that their community of to-day resembles in no small degree a thrifty New England village. Becoming chief at the age of fifteen and taking his seat in the council when only eighteen, a great honor for so young an Indian, he remained the legal head
of the Oneida tribe until within a few years, wh in these poeple became American citizens. In material as in spiritual things he wa? ever their leader and it was through his energies and encouragement that the earliest threshing machines and other farm implements come into use among them.
His leadership was always in the paths of progress, of education, and of loyalty to
i the church. In the early days, when a I mo\ ement was started to drive away the
missionary irom Uueida, Hill’ s challenge to the ringleaders was, “ If you do so it will be over my dead body.” For more than twenty-five years he was the interpreter for the Episcopal clergyman in the service of the church, giving to the Indians the Epistle, the Gospel, the lessons, and the sermon in their native tongue. In 1903 he was ordained a priest. It was said of him that on the morning after his ordination, in the presence of two bishops, a number of the clergy, and an eager congregation, he celebrated his first Eucharist and administered the communion. Though deeply moved by the solemnity of the occasion, his voice never faltered. We may imagine the supreme significance of the ceremony and the rapture of those simple people when they heard for the first time a priest of their own tribe repeating in their native language the solemn words which all could understand.
His ascendency over his people as their hereditary chief was so great as almost to make his word their law, and few would have questioned his decision. This power, still further enhanced by his nobility of character, his wisdom, and his high sense of justice, made him a tower of strength for the cause of Christ. Few Indians have had his opportunity; none could have acquitted themselves more nobly. His power was ever exerted for the uplifting of his people. He chose always *he highest ideals both as chief and priest and exemplified in his own life the type of nobleman and Christian.
A former Hampton student, writing of the loss to his community, says of him: “ There were but few Sundays in his life when he was absent from his duty and we never thought that he could ever be gone from us.” A Hampton teacher recalls his dignified and gracious hospitality when he visited him in his own home. Four of his children have been pupils at Hampton, where their character and bearing have testified to the careful training which they received at home.
The funeral services, held in the great stone church of the Oneidas, was attended by some seven or eight hundred people, and on the ridge above the church, beside two
devoted missionaries, Rev. E. A. Good- nough and Rev. S. S. Burleson, Father Hill was laid to rest.— Southern Workman.
Language Lesson
DAIRYINGDairying is a very profitable industry. To
make a success at dairying you must have well bred stock. The best dairy cows are the Jersey. Holstein, Guernsey, Alderney, Durham and Herford. The cattle should have a large pasture with plenty pure water and also a few shade trees and plenty of good grass. The most important of all the cattle should have a large barn for shelter from the cold winters. The barn must be keep cleau, well ventilated and lighted, the cows must be fed regular; bran and chop are good foodstuff for the cows. Some dairymen feed large amounts of timothy hay to the dairy cows because it is thought to be a rich nourishing foodstuff, but with experiments made with 24 cows at the station last winter it would seem that shredded stover when well made and preserved can often be used to replace the timothy. Timothy hay brings from fifteen to twenty dollars a ton on the market, and shredded stover is practically a waste product on the farm, the economy of utilizing the latter is apparent to all. The dairy man should be economical. He should never feed the bows too much hay as they will not eat all of it but will throw it from the manger to the ground. The cows should be milked
ruguh.r twice a day. Immediately after milking the milk should be strained a cloth is the best to strain the milk as it catches all the dirt that may be in the milk.
After the milk is strained it should be taken to a cool place for the cream to rise on the milk or if you have a large number of cows it would pay better to have a cream separator as you can separate the cream in a short time. The cream should be at a temperature of 58F. before churning. It will take about twenty minutes to churn the butter. After the milk is taken from the butter, the butter is washed clean, then it is ready for the salt to be worked in X ounce of salt to a pound of butter. Next t he butter is ready for the mould which presses it into one or half pounds, and it is ready for the market. The dairy man should make nothing but first class butter. First class butter sells the best and you receive the largest price. Take your butter to the market looking neat.
The dairy man’s motto is cleanliness.One pound of butter weighs 16 ounces.

The question was discussed both written and orally- The affirmative made more points in the written and the negative most in the oral.
In the written discussion the affirmative made 23 points and the negative 14. In the oral, the Neg. 19 and the Aff. 14.— T. T.

Confirmation at St. Patrick’s
(Evening’Sentinel, March 11, 1907)Bishop Shanahan of the Catholic diocesn
of Harrisburg, conferred the sacrament c confirmation yesterday afternoon to a larg i class of parochial children and Indian pupils. The class consisted of 132 of whom 120 were Indians and twelve members of the parish. On account of Lent there was no attempt at church decoration, but the splendid congregational singing of the Indians was again the subject of much favorable comment. The Indian girls dressed in white, with flowing veils, the boys in their neat school dress uniforms, with white ribbons tied to their right sleeve made an impressive sight. The Bishop expressed himself as highly pleased by the reverent conduct and soldier-like bearing of the entire class.
The confirmation closes a most gratifyiti^ year of religious work among the 350 Catholic pupils at the Indian school, with a reward of 14 baptisms, 67 first communions and 120 confirmations since September last.
The Sherman Bulletin
We are in receipt of Vol. I, No. 1, of The Sherman Bulletin, devoted to the interests of Sherman Institute at Riverside, Cal. It is a neat little 3-column folio, and shows care and pride in preparation. Its purpose is stated as follows:
“ In presenting the first issue of T h e Sh e r m a n B u l l e t in we desire to state to our readers that its chief aim is to benefit the pupils of Sherman Institute. The pupils will perform the mechanical work and, as far as possible, edit the paper. The ability to do so will grow as time advances. It is not intended to discuss questions relating to any Indian policy, nor lo give advice to superior officers. We expect to devote its columns to Sherman Institute, its pupils, faculty, and environment; and to make the paper a weekly letter recounting the happenings of Sherman Institute and matters of interest in connection therewith.
“ We shall be glad to secure subscriptions from all friends of the school at the rate of 25 cents per year, but to pupils in attendance at school, as well as teachers, on the grounds, no charge will be made.
“ If this three column weekly folio will assist in premoting the welfare of the Indian youth, and facilitate their desire to be good citizens, as well as to strengthen their determination to work and to stay with the work, it will in a measure accomplish its purpose.”
We welcome the little stranger to our Exchange Table.

10th prize, Official league baseball.The above list is the best set. of prizes
ever offered for this event and those who expect to enter should lose no opportunity to get all the practice they can so as to be in shape for the the contest.
A rule has been made that no one who has ever won the cross-country race once will be allowed to compete again, and this will bar Blackstsir and Hunt from the race and give some one else a better chance.
Some are picking Ossie Crow as likely to win the race this year, others think Sam Brown will be the lucky man while Eddie Fox, James Scrimpsher and Paul Bero also have their following. However, as has happened many times in the past, a “ dark horse” is likely to win the race and surprise everyone.
All the candidates should jog over the course several times before the race and run in the Gym on days when the roads are too bad.
The baseball squad lias been cut down to 22 men who will compose the first and second teams. There were some pretty good meD dropped out of the squad because they will do better on the,track team, and there are so many old players on the squad that those dropped could not make the first team anyway. They will help out the track team and get good base ball experience playing with the “ Glass Arms” or the “ Never Wa'sers” wdien those teams organize at the school for contests after supper.
The following schedule ha9 been arranged for the track team:
March 30 or April 3, Annual Cross Country Race . April 20, Annual Class Contests.

To judge by this photograph Corporal Nick is in good health and rides a fine horse and both present a fine soldierly appearance.
A very interesting letter was received from Ethel Bryant, who is now in Missouri attending school. Ethel is missed by her classmates, Juniors especially, when basketball games are played. She was one of the strong guards for the Junior team. Ethel wishes to be remembered to all her Carlisle friends and classmates.
Sunday Prayer Meeting
Sunday evening prayer-meeting in the Girls’ Quarters last Sunday was a most interesting one. Martha Day and Elizabeth Penny, who attended the State Convention of the Y. W. C. A. at Altoona the week before, gave an account of their trip.
One of the things which the leaders said impressed them most was the fact that the girL in schools and colleges all over the state were struggling with the same dilficul- ties and trying to overcome the same temptations that beset girls at Carlisle.
The meeting closed with an earnest appeal to all members of the Association to be more faithful and loyal than ever before.
Birthday Surprise
Felicita Romero, who is now at New London, Pa., was the recipient of a very pleas- sant surprise on her birthday last week- Many of her friends had decided to remember her on that day and the result was over 80 postal cards of beautiful design came pouring in upon her. One card in p a rticular seemed to interest her especially. Felicita writes: “ When I got the card fiom Miss Gaither it made me feel like walking right into the building at Carlisle.”
Harvard to Continue Sport
It is gratifying to note that Harvard has decided to continue her authorization of inter-collegiate athletics, as is proven by the action of the Overseers this week.
This means that football and other games will be continued at Harvard, as the corporation of the university has accepted the report of the sub-commitee.
The majority report reviewed at length athletic conditions at the university and paid a tribute to the Harvard. Athletic Committee for its accomplishment of “ needed reforms.” But the committee thought, and the Board of Overseers agreed, that the number of athletic contests should be reduced and expenses on inter-collegiate games should be cut down.
The recommendations of the majority report are in part as follows: -
“ That the method of selecting the faculty members of the Athletic committee be changed and intead of three members of the university faculties, to be appointed by the corporation with the consent of the overseers, the dean of the faculty o f arts and sciences, the dean of Harvard College and the dean of the Lawrence Scientific School be, ex-officio, the faculty members of the Athletic Committee.
“ That there be no change in the number or method of selecting the graduate members of the committee.
‘That intercollegiate contests be permitted as heretofore under the supervision of the Athletic Committee, so constituted.
That the Athletic Committee be recommended to see that the athletic expenses are reduced as far as in its judgment they reasonably can be and the extravagances mentioned above in this report be done away with.”
Cheerfulness is a life preserver.Uhe surest way to be happy is to be
busy.
Organ RecitalAbout 150 Indian pupils and a number
of employees enjoyed the Recital given by Dr. Minor C. Baldwin, of New York City, on the large three-manual pipe organ in the First Lutheran Church of Carlisle, on Monday evening.
Dr. Baldwin gave two Indian Folk songs composed by himself as sung to him by a Taos Indian. They were very realistic; the tom-tom could be very clearly heard and recognized. His tone picture— The Storm in the Mountains—was also a realistic and spectacular performance. His interpretation of the masters was superb.
From John OrtegaJohn Ortega, famous and popular as the
school janitor in former years, wrote a very encouraging letter to Miss Bowersox. He is at Pa la, Cal., and is working on the irrigation ditch built by the Government. Nicholas Pena is working on a ranch. All the Carlisle boys and girls near his home are doing well. John read the book “ Ramona” here and since his return home he frequently visits the place where Ramona lived, also the little adobe church which is near Pala.
Girls' Outing Honor RollThe girls’ Outing Field Agent found the
following girls had their rooms in excellent order when she visited them, and if Major Mercer had made the inspection himself he would have been pleased and gratified with the results of the training in the country homes:— Felicita Romero, Mary Ladouceur, Lottie Tramper, Mary Arteshaw, Sara Mansur, Nannie Saunooke, Agnes White, Lucy Coulon, Elizabeth Webster, Grace Kieh, Edith Bartlette, Olive Wheelock, Georgia Bennet, Ella Johnson.
Among the large number of girls who will go to the country this spring we expect to have many more names on the honor roll. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Dear MAjoR:— l received the check you sent me and was very glad indeed to get it for we did not have a pay day until yesterday since the first of January. 1 am getting along very well here and also like the place. But think it quite cold some times. The first few weeks that I was here it was forty- five and fifty degrees below Zero most of the time.
Major, I want to thank you for all that you did for me while I was at Carlisle, for all that I have I feel that I owe my thanks to both you and Carlisle. I do not think I will find another such beautiful home very soon.
A number of the boys and girls seem very anxious to come to Carlisle next fall.

Basket Ball Game
An exciting game was played between the Freshmen gills and Seuior girls just before the Sociable on Saturday evening. The Seniors fought hard but the Freshies eyed them with a quizzical smile and played with a determination to defeat the Class ’07. However, the Seniors in the first half had the ball on their territory during which many attempts were made for the goal, but to no avail.
The first half the score was 4—4.The second half the Class ’ 10 surpassed
the Seniors in making goals. They proved themselves a tough proposition after all. Stella Bear and Margaret DeLoiumiere played a star game for the Freshies.
The true class spirit was much in evidence. While the game was on the go the class songs and rousing cheers were heard from both classes.
The game ended with the score of 1G— 6 in favor of the Class ’ 10.
After the game the regular sociable began.The evening was m08t enjoyably spent.

The March Wind
The bluff March wind came whirling along,Before the peep of day.
He blew over the fields and whistled a song,As he dashed and danced on his way.
With a shout he dashed the lingering snow,And the tiny brook set free.
He called to the sun ‘ ‘H o! Ho! Ho! Ho!What a merry March wind was he.
Then he dashed through the forests, and called to the trees,
•‘ ‘Wake up ’tis time to rise,”He laughed at their cry ‘ ‘We freeze, We ireeze,
We must wait for the summer skies.He blew the snow clouds from on high,
As he sang aloud, in glee,He whistled to all, “ Goodbye, Good bye,”
Such a frolicsome wind was he.— Selected
How the Sun and Moon Were Made—An Apache Legend
When the Indians came on earth there was no light at all, no sun nor moon. The Indians rode wolves because they had no horses then. The Indians could smell their way through the darkness, so the Indians did not get lost.
After many days’ travel a boy and his father got angry with the Apache chief. They hid themselves in the darkness and determined to go back where they had come from. They prayed many days and nights and also feasted that length of time. At last after they had feasted and prayed for a long time the great Spirit came and got them and took them home with him. They told him how dangerous is was on earth because it was dark, and said their tribe would get lost one by one in the darkness.
The Great Spirit gave the man some fire and told him to throw it down to his tribe. He did so and the Indians on earth ran to it to see what it was that shone so brightly. They found out it was very hot by touching it and that it made it light around them. The chief then took a stone and broke off pieces of wood and lit them. Then he gave a piece to each squaw and told them to get some more wood and pile it on top of their pieces of wood, so as to have plenty of light in their lodges. The Indians were glad because they could see better and they thanked the great Spirit for the fire be had given them.

THE ARROW, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1907.
They held a big feast and threw meat into the fire to show the Great Spirit they liked the things he had given them, for he had already given them .bows and arrows and taught them to use them.
When the Great Spirit saw that they had put meat into the fire, he came down to earth and took the meat and ate some. He told them to do the same.
They did so and it tasted so good that they always did cook their meat afterwards.
The Great Spirit went front them to his home. When he got there he made two crowns and seats or thrones.
He made one crown of silver and one of wampum. He made one throne of wampum and one of black rock. He gave the silver crown and the wampum throne to the man and put him in the sky. He gave the wampum crown and black rock throne to the boy and put him on the other side of the sky. He placed the man’s throne so the light from his campfire could shine on his crown and throne. This was the sun. The light from the sun reflected on the boy’s crown and throne and this made the moon. The moon shone at night and the sun in the day. So the Indians had light all the time afterwards. They were very glad and thanked the Great Spirit.*
When the bad spirit saw that the Indians had light and advantages he sent a lot of black warriors to kill them. The black warriors came through a hole in the ground. When the Apache chief saw them he prayed to the Great Spirit to help him. When the Great Spirit heard the chief he made his camp fire bigger and bigger until it almost burnt up his home. The sun grew so hot that it made the black warriors grow small and skinny. They kept on skrinking until they fell into the hole they came out of and were all killed. The bad spirit has never dared to make the Great Spirit angry again,

but has always hid in the caves, holes and plants so the Great Spirit could nothurt him,
The Indians began to hunt and fish and have a good time. At last after they had got plenty of meat they held a great feast in honor of the Great Spirit, the sun and the moon. This is the sun feast and is still kept every year by the Apaches.
When the sun and moon were made the Great Spirit also changed the wolves to horses, so the Indians now ride horses instead of wolves.— The Indian Leader.
Kind Words
As the breath of the dew on the tender plant, they gently fall upon the drooping heart, refreshing its withered tendrils and soothing its burning woes. Bright oases they are in life's great desert. Who can estimate the pangs they have alleviated or the good works they have accomplished?
Long after they are uttered do they reverberate in the soul’s inner chambers and send low, sweet, liquid strains that quell all the raging storms that may have before existed. And, oh, when th« heart is sad and. like a broken harp, the sweetest cords of pleasure cease to vibrate, who can tell the power of one kind word? One little word of tenderness gushing in upon the soul will sweep the long neglected chords and awaken the most pleasant strains. Kind words are like jewels in the lieai t, never to be forgotten, but perhaps to cheer up their memory a long, sad life, while words of cruelty are like darts in the bosom, wounding and leaving scars that will be borne to the grave by their victims.— Saturday Evening Post.

A Boyless TownA cross old woman of lorn; ago
Declared that she hated noise;"The town would he so pleasant, you know,
If only there were no boys.”She scolded and fretted about it till
Her eyes grow heavy as lead.And then of a sudden, the town grew still,
For all the boys had fled.And all through the long and dusty street
There wasn’t a boy in view:The baseball lot where they use to meet
Was a sight to make one blue.The grass was growing on every base,
And the path that the runners made;For there wasn’t a soul in all the place
Who knew how the game was played.The dogs were sleeping the livelong day —
Why should they bark or leap?There wasn't a whistle or a call to play.
And so they could only sleep.The pony neighed from his lonely stall,
And longed for saddle and rein;And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only a dull refrain.The Cherries rotted and went to waste—
There was no one to climb the trees;And nobody had a single taste,
Save only the birds and bees.There wasn’t a messenger boy —not one—
To speed as such messengers can;If people wanted their errands done,
They sent fora messenger man.There was little, I ween, of frolic and noise
There was less of cheer and mirth;The sad old town, since it lacked its hoys,
Was the dreariest place on earth.The poor old woman began to weep,
Then woke with a sudden scream;“ Dear me,’ ’ she cried,“ I ’ve been asleep;
And Oh, what a horrid dream!”— St. Nicholas.
