Not Slow to Get Ao quairrted With Santa. From the time that Uncle Sam be gan to encourage the Iden of schools for Indian children the teuchers made much of Christmas, and the little red skins were quick to show Interest In the Christmas tree. The Christmas of the Brule Sioux Indians shows business management. In each village a committee of prom inent pro.yes 1h appointed, perhaps sev eral weeks In advance of the mo mentous day. to mnke a ennvnss of the tribesmen nud gather a fund to be expended In the purchase of a "heap big feast" The committee makes out a prospective menu as soon as the cash is in hand, nnd then, with true Yankee shrewdness, the specifi cations as to eatables are submitted to the various traders in the vicinity for bids, the contract for this odd un dertaking in Christmas catering being awarded, of course, to the lowest bid der. The Sioux Indians generally have a Kriss Kringle, a member of the tribe, who disguises himself for the occasion nnd makes speeches and gives pres ents. A representative illustration of the Indian Christinas celebration in tin* southwest can be seen any year in Pueblo or San Filipe, N. M. The holi day celebration is a curious mixture of Christian and pagan customs. The redskins there attend the mission church in the morning, feast at noon and later inaugurate a fantastic and ceremonial dance that continues for half a week. i Electric BStters Succeed when everything else fails. In nervous prostration and female weaknesses they are the supreme remedy, as thousands have testified.
