INDIAN TRIBE SUES
WHITES FOR MfLLICiJ
Last o r Tft!;eTIicir

Mohinins iirc on fho W4r|»>itli.
They have laml forth to tiuht wlmt

they have armed IheiYiftelveM wifh the
le^ral weapons of their pale faced
brethren Instead of with the more de
structive InstrumentH of their aborig
inal forehearers.
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.

Man Who’ll Do Anything
Receives Many Offers
San I ram • co.—Strange offers—one
«>f them $0,000 to court the intimacy
of a man’s wife and aid him in seetir
Jug n divorce—have been made to
Robert Ralls in response to his run
ning “personal sd” to do “anything
within the law, regardless of the
risk.’’
“Another offer,” Rati.s adds, “was a
job as gunman-bodyguard for a local
bootlegger.”
'Tapping the climax, however," he
continued, "was one from a man who
offered me $.*>,000 to kill his wife.”
Hulls, who is out of work, reiterated
V would do anylhiug or “bet his life
with any one on the square” for that

4j> NATALIE M c GRATH
UITZEN had behaved very
well until the first of Decem
ber. 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.

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.”

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

Iirough many years. He was the only
lan of the proper fidelity to minister
j the Philippians. The secret of his
aithfulness in such a position was
is fidelity to God’s word.
V. 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,

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. It
ernptleth itself by a modest estimation
of its own worth, that Christ may fill
it.—Thomas Adams.
