The Mohicans, or rather their de- scendants, have brought st^t in Su perior court against the Mate of Con necticut, its attorney general, the city and town of Norwich and othera, de manding $1,000,000 for the alleged desecration of a siunll ‘Indian burial ground near here, in Which the body of the great sachem. Chief Uncaa, sup posedly Is buried. ^ Burial Ground Suit. Edyth II. Cray and others, who de scribe themselves us heirs of the great Uncas, charge the defendants with preventing them from continuing to use the burial ground ns a cemetery, that monuments there have been de stroyed or removed, and that the so- 1 ••ailed reservation has been cut up Into building lots. All told there are not more than 100 descendants of the tribe about which Janies Fenlnmre Cooper wove such fantastic and romantic tales. None of these are full blooded, vir tually all being white mixed. They live on what they call “the reserva tion,“ a small plot of land at Mulli gan, on the west hank of the Thames river four miles from here. In reality, it Is not a reservation, for It Is not under federal or slate supervision. 16 Acre Plot. The burial ground involved in the suit Is a 1(1 acre plot. It Is studded with several gravestones, one of which marks the supposed last resting place of Uncas. The noted ohieflain’s grave is marked by an obelisk monument about seven feet high. Across the face of one side is the inscription “Uncas.” The obelisk has an interesting his tory. Its base was laid in 1H.TI in tin* presence of President Andrew Jackson and a few members of his cabinet, who Journeyed by stage coach to Nor wich especially for the occasion. Then, il seemed, the Norwlehites forgot about finishing the memorial until the fall of 1840, when tin* money to com plete It was collected at a Harrison Tyler campaign meeting. Finally, on July 4. 1842, the obelisk was raised over the base. Turkish Merchants Find Odd Tribe Living Aloof Tuxtla.

Then all of a sudden he decided to go Into Santa’s workshop. The first terrible thing he did was to lap the paint from a doll’s face. Santa had put a great deal of care Into making that doll for she was to go to a little girl who was ill In the hospital. Christmas eve came and all the rein deer were harnessed and waiting for Santa. “Have you all of your bags, dear?” asked Mrs. Santa.- “Yes, we have everything and are on our way to wish the world a very Merry Christmas,” answered Jolly old Santa. “Hump,” said RUtzen to himself, “and hump again.” The red paint had had a bad effect upon his disposition. Off they sped and up, up, up they sailed through the air. Rlitzen was going along beau tifully when he suddenly wondered what Vixen would do If he, Rlitzen, should bite his tall. “Not very hard,” thought Rlitzen to himself. “Just enough to make him jump.” And as they hurried along that win ter’s night, Rlitzen reached out his funny warm nose and hit Vixen’s tall —hard. Vixen Jumped, then he kicked Donder, who In turn kicked the sleigh, upsetting It. Over It went and down It went. Santa, toys and all. For tunately ,they all landed In a soft snowbank. Santa picked his snowy self up. put the toys back in the sleigh and off they started once again. The first house they came to was u lovely old farm house. Santa and the reindeer made a beautiful landing on the roof. “Now while lam gone see that you behave!“ said Santa and down the chimney he went. As soon as he was out of sight, Rlitzen started trouble again. “Dumdum diddle-dum-dum! See what I cap do!” he snorted, and he crossed his front legs, stamped his hind ones and sat down kerplunk on the roof. “Here, here,” shouted Santa, as hr came up the chimney. “What Is the meaning of all this noise? It sounded like an earthquake. I thought every moment that the roof would cave in If you can’t stand still on the tops ol the houses I shall most certainly leave you on the ground.” Santa knew that this would he a dreadful punishment to them all as they were very proud of being able tc stand on the tops of houses. The next house hud a slanting roof with a peak at the top and when Santa had gone down the chimney that mischievous Rlitzen promptly sat down again, kerplunk, snorting his favorite song, dum-dum-dlddle-de-dum. The first thing he knew he had started to slide and he couldn’t get up quickly enough to prevent sliding all the way to the ground. Over the roof he went, dragging the sleigh and his seven brothers with him. Out of the chim ney came Santa and leaned over the peak of the roof to call them. “I’m just about tired of your non sense tonight!” said he. “Now you will stay on the ground." And when In the country, they stopped at another farm house; that Is Just where Santa left them. “Sniff-sniff, sniff-sniff!” A spicy smell reached the nose of Rlitzen. Inch by Inch he moved over to the window and stuck his head right In. He proceeded to devour everything in sight. He ate so rapidly that the other deer could only stare and won der. Dies, cakes, tarts, jelly and jam all went down with lightning speed. When he had finished he licked his lips, turned around and pushed back to the place Santa hud left them. When Santa came out, there they were as quiet as mice. “Well, now, that’s fine,” called Santa In a cheery voice. “See how much better things are when you be have !” Now we all know that it isn’t the best thing in the world to run after we have eaten a great many sweets. Rlitzen soon learned this and began feeling very ill Indeed. Rut feeling 111 only made his disposition worse. In the distance he could see a city and above this city he saw a tall steeple. As they raced along near the steeple RliUen pushed his brothers over so that when they passed they were so close you could not have put your finger between the steeple and the sleigh. Rlitzen glanced e.t Viren and saw that his hair was standing right up straight. “What Ho,” bellowed Santa, “Do you want to upset the sleigh again, you naughty deer?” All over the world they went, not skipping a place. Rlitzen was very tired and as he could think of nothing better to do he ^norted and fussed and counted stars. At last just as Christ mas morning dawned they found their way home. Mrs. Santa came running out to meet them, and to help Santa unharness the reindeer. “Rlitzen cannot have anything to eat and he must go right into the barn,” said Santa rather sadly. “And I fear he cannot go with me next Christmas.” And now indeed was Rlitzen a sad der and a wiser reindeer. Now, my dear children I know that you all love Rlitzen. You must, for he Is a lo^Wble old fellow. When you hear the deer on the roof Christmas eve it Is always Blitzen’s hoofyou hear, because he always stamps harder than Is necessary. And when you hear the bells jiou can always hear Blit zen’s above the rest, no one knows why. Just because he Is Rlitzen, I suppose, and likes to give an extra stamp and an extra shake whenever possible. jfTe will be sadly missed next Christmas eve unless—I have It! Let’s all wkte a note to Santa and ask him to! forgive poor mischievous Rlitzen before next Christmas has a chance to come around. If all the chil dren In all, the world should write I’m sure Sama would forgive him. (©. 1*30, Western Newspaper Union.) Christmas HE package hearing a holi day label with the Inscrip tion “Lois Smith, Argyle Apts.,” signed for and the expressman gone, Lois sat down on the floor to tear off the wrappings. Inside she found a store of gayly- wrapped packages. The first contained a knitted tie. “F’even’s sake!” she said, am) opened the second one. It contained home-made candy. “That,” she thought, “is more like it.” The next parcel contained handkerchiefs with a neat “L. S.” In the corner, only—they werf men’s handkerchiefs. The other item, she could tell, was fruit cake and un der it she found what she was looking for—a letter. “My Dear Son Louis,” It began. “F’even’s sake,’’ said Lois, "Of course! It’s for Louis Smith." Now If all Lois Smith and Louis Smith had had In common had been their surname and their choice of an apartment house, it would have been relatively simple for Lois to take the box upstairs and explain. Rut they had also shared 51 full moons and 45 other moons, some 30 odd shows, and several Sunday after noons in the park. They had shared secrets and tea in Lois* apartment; a promise, several kisses, and one quar rel. So now they were mutually mis erable, sharing a pride that forbade at tempting reconciliation. Lois put the things back in the box, jiggled the candy to hide that three pieces were gone, and retied the tinsel bows. Then she carried It upstairs to Louis Smith’s apartment, knocked and ran back down, where she locked her door and flung herself across her bed to cry. A knock at the door roused her. She opened it to a handsome young man. “Lois, darling!” he cried. “Well?” 4 *It was so wonderful of you—” “What was?” “Oh, don’t pretend. I was Just com ing In and saw you running down. And then of course, I found the candy and the—* “Rut didn’t you find the letterT” “What letter?" He stooped down. “Is this it?” She nodded. “I must have dropped It.” “Oh," he aald^^^ly mistake Sorry.” She watched hirn^p and then ran after him. “It Isn’t your mistake, Louis. I’ve made some candy, end— I—knitted you a tie long ago.” • a w« <ter^ Ncwcototr Udos.)

Lesson for Decembet 21 TIMOTHY: THE INFLUENCE OF HOME TRAINING LESSON TEXT—Acts 16:1-3; Philip-, plans 2:19-22; II Timothy 1:1-6; 3: 14-16. GOLDEN TEXT—And that from a child thou hast known the holy scrip tures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which Is in Christ Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Living for Christ In Our Homes, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Religious Training In the Home. I. Tlmoth/a Parentage (Acts 16:1). His father was a Greek and his mother a believing Jewess. On his mother’s side, at least, he had a godly ancestry. Frequently the Influence of the mother makes the don. A pious mother and a pious grandmother were back of Timothy. How thankful to God ought those to be who have been blessed with a godly ancestry. Chris tian heredity and training are vital elements which go to make up Chris tian life. II. Timothy's Training (I Tim. 1:5; II Tim. 3:14,15). His vidse and faithful mother and grandmot^r carefully nurtured him In God’s Word. He knew the Scrip tures from childhood through their training. The faith which came to him through his grandmother and mother did not come through the laws of heredity, but through careful train ing and teaching. Three factors were Involved In his training: 1. Godly ancestors. Those who have been blessed"With godly ancestors should thank God for them. Those who are to be the parents of the com ing generation should see to it that their children are not handicapped by a wrong life and wrong teaching. 2. A Christian home. The young of the human race must remain for the longest period under the influence of their parents. Unending existence and exalted destiny demand long an(J care ful training. The goodness and wis dom of God are vitally reflected In this provision for humanity. 3. A diligent study of the Holy Scriptures. Timothy not only was taught the Scriptures from childhood, but was commandc^l diligently to study them (ch. 2:15). No home train ing or hereditary influence can possi bly take the place of personal study of the Bible. III. Timothy's Call (Acts 10:2,3). While on his second missionary journey in company with Silas, Paul found Timothy at Lystra near Derbe. Perhaps he had been converted on Paul’s first missionary journey, but hearing a favorable report of him by the brethren. Paul circumcised him so as not to offend the Jews, because his father was a Greek. This was in harmony with the decision of the Jerusalem council. It was a case where conciliation was possible with out compromise of truth. From this time to the end of Paul’s life, Timothy was his devoted companion. IV. Timothy's Character. 1. Of a retiring disposition (II Tim. 1 :G). He had received a gift from God at the hands of the apostle but it needed to be stirred up; that is, fanned into a flame. Such a tempera- ment? would mature in touch with a great personality like Paul. Each Christian has a gift from God’s hand. It is highly ipiportant that the God- given gift be stirred up. 2. Courageous (II Tim. 2:1-8). Hav ing been stirred up and freed from the spirit of fear, he deliberately Iden tified himself with Paul in his suffer ings and trials. Courage is greatly needed in doing the Lord’s work. 3. Faithful (Phil. 2:20). Timothy tarried In the difficult field of Ephesus law: Mrs. Flossie Smith 1,000 v W. H. Duncan 405 Mrs. Kate M.

Timothy's Ministry. 1. As a fellow missionary with Paul Phil. 2:22). Paul testified that Tira- thy, as a son with a father, had erved with him in the gospel. 2. As pastor of the church at Jphesus (I Tim. 1:3,4). Here Timothy ibored for many years, tactfully leeting the difficulties of that great hurch. The secret of. his ministry, s that of all Christian ministers, ras that he had implicit confidence a the Scriptures as God’s Word, and hat he diligently studied them so as ightly to divide them in meeting the eeds of those to whom he ministered, ’his is the only way to meet the needs •Inch arise in the difficult field of a astor. !h < Q D O Humility Humility is not only a virtue In It self, but a vessel to contain other vir tues—like embers which keep the fire alive that is hidden under It.
