THOMPSON, 21-2t J. P. L. C. Indian Children at Christmastide ITTLE Jimmy led Engle and1( his brothers peepied from un der their red blankets long be fore daybreak on Christmas morning. They cnst an eye about the tei0e, but not for stockings filled with presents, for Jimmy and his brothers learned many years ago that Santa Clauses never came to topees. In the first place, there is no chimney in the tepee, and, secondly, there is no fire place. The teacher was responsible for this, of course, this talo which buzzed In their little brown ears and made them sad. But the Red Eagle boys and girls were not discouraged because Santa had not come to their tepee and forthwith made arrange ments to go to him. On the Indian reservations of the southwest Santa comes to the little red schoolhouses dotted here and there along the trail. The teachers have ar ranged for his visit there every Christ mas, and that day is spent under the roof of plenty distributing the pres ents that have been left there by un seen persons. It is a day of good cicer for those little brown people. who do not know much pleasure anyway. The boys forget their hasifulness -- I min gle with the girls In their an ty to show their presents. At noon the teachers set out a dainty lunch, such as is not known in tepee life. and the little fellows and their sisters gorge themselves. The afternoon Is spent in entertainment, partly by the little fel lows and partly by the teachers nud the older girls. A nent progran is ar ranged, and songs, recitationis nn(l charades follow. At eventide the little ones are carted home In buggles nud there go to sleep and dream of great things that are to come into I heir lives. The holidays are a continuous round of pleasure to the reservatloin IndIan children of the southwest. They play their rough games and cat the enndy and chew the gum. Their principal play is going on the warpath. That i9 for the boys, while the girls pIay at jumping the rope, making mud ples and cooking. Indinn girls of late years have been elevated above theIr former position, of waiting on bucks, to lace making, painting and studying and teaching music, until some of them are quite profleient in this line. The little girls are not allowed to play with the boys on the same playground, although the teachers advocate their association in the classes and schoolroom. It has not been until within recent years that Kiowa, Comanche, Apache, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Wichita, Tonka wa. Ponca or Osage children knew the slightest thing of a holiday, the birth of Christ, or even that there was such a person as Christ. But when the res ervation schools opened all of these things were taught, much against the desire of the old Indians., who did not care to have their offspring renred in the path of the paleface. whom they so despised. The mothers used to move their tepees close to 'the reservation schools. and every night they wculd try to worm out of the Child everything the teacher had taught her during the day. Progress with the red children was thus delayed until an order against tho women coming near their children during the school season was issued and enforced. The little girls are quick to learn, and the boys are apt and witty. Why They Sing at Christmas. In modlern tImes the Christmas wanits are bands of men and boys who on Christmas eve parade the streets of towns and villages in England, singing carols anzd accomnpanuying t hemnselves on simple wind instruments for pres ents from the houses in frout of which they stop. ante zut itK eack61rd1~o Sharing in, their Chuimnj AI STRIFE MAY CEASE DUJING HOLIDAYS Activity Around Dvinsk. London Said to be Devot-ing Attention to the p1os. sibility of Conscription. London, December, 18.-The week end finds the war situation in the east and west bearing the outward appear aUcC of comparative quietude, and some observers are ready to predict that operations will virtually remain at a standstill until after the holidays. Nevertheless, there is no lack of food for speculation, particularly on the eastern front, which now virtually stretches across two continents, from North Russia to South Persia. In the extreme north there have been unof ficial reports that the promised new German thrust between Riga and Dvinsk has already begun, but neither Berlin nor Petrograd confirms this in the official communications. ' Five hundred miles further south the Russians believe they have checked another enemy attempt to resume the offensive in Galicia. In the Balkan zone the first chapter is closed, but with more than 2,000,000 men of a dozen different nations un der arms, it is not likely that quiet will reign long. There is promise of new annoyances for the Bulgarians and Germans in the Italian operations through Albania and the Russian con centration in Bessarabia. Grand Duke Again. Meanwhile, in the lo-called middle east, Grand Duke Nicholas's advance to Hamadan br ings strong Russian forces to within about 200 miles of B3agdad. It is b:elieved in the Entente Capitals that his operations will put new Importance into the British oper ations in Soulti Persia. Tlie situiation on the Greek border is most obsen m~c. Di ploma tie comipli cations are believed to be in a fair way of settllement. The Greek clec tions tomorrow appear not likely to be a serIous factor, as the. refusal of the followers of Irx- Premier Venizelos to participate will leave salall chance for a change in Greek policy. But the threat of a German advance into Greece continues and provldes numer ous possIbilities for upsets. London is devoting a large share of its attention to domestic affairs, the possibility of conscription for single men who failed to respond to Lord Derby's call sharing the stage with proposals for a lottery scheme to aid the State in floating a large popular loan. The government has found it impossible to prorogue Parliament be fore Christmas and it is assumed that on the resuming of business on .January 4, the sessions will continue for about a fortnight. The members probably will be summoned to return for the new session early In February. HELP YOURT LIVElt-IT PAYS.
