Indian Talk
The following poems were writ

lndiun rider:
The Prairie Dog
Urn prairie dog 'neath clear blue
skies
Sits by him hole, never bat3 him
eyes !
Him little tail all time goes flip,
Him keep on barking 'yip, yip, yip.'
Him much fat 'cause him eat much
grass.
Him jump in hole when folks go
past.
Indian's Lament
Game all gone, we working now;
Bows all boke, we working plow.
Raise big pumpkin, sell in town;
Kill um fat hog, salt him down.
Overalls on, blankets gone,
"Vliite man shirts, no nice beads
on.
Old-time Indian think it bad,
Smoking him pipe, feeling sad,
Squatting by tepee door,
That old times come back no more.

nearly like the story Princess Wa
tahwaso told as we remember it:
How the First Canoe
Came to be Built
Long, long ago people could
change themselves into animals or
I birds and back again to people any
1 time they wished. One time, some
of them, with their teacher, Glos
kabah, or Black Duck, were birds
and were sitting on the shore look
ing out over the water. They had
eaten everything on land, and oh,
how they wanted to go out on the
water and get some fine water
spiders and water plants to eat.
So they held a council to . see
what they could do.
"Why not have a canoe?" said
Blue Heron.
"Yes, yes!" they all agreed,
"but who will build It?"
"Let Loon build it," suggested
some.
"No, that will never do.'i said
Black Duck. "His legs are too far
apart. He will not know how to
make a canoe." - j
"Let Owl build It," said Crane.
"His eyes are too big," said Red
Duck, "and he can't see in the day
time, either."
At this all the the birds laughed
and laughed.
"Sounds like Red Head Duck,'
should build the canoe
So," Red Flying Squirrel came
and shook up all the pictures in
his leather pouch and each one
drew one.
The last to draw was Partridge
and he was the one to build the
canoe.
Partridge started to build canoes
first for the ducks. He built them
round and flat, and when the ducks
got in them they paddled around in
them and were so happy that the
other birds could scarcely wait
until they had canoes, too.
Next he built one for Crane, and
he made it long and narrow. Crane
was very pleased and stepped into
it, intending to paddle around as
the ducks were, but instead it
tipped over and Crane went into
the water. Crane was angry and
said ho would much rather wade
any way, and so, to this day, he
wades along the shore, but. never
goes into the, water,
Finally, Partridge had made all
the canoes except one for himself.
This, he decided would be the love
liest of all, so he built it very care
fully, making it long and narrow.
"This canoe will beat them all,"
thought Partridge proudly, to him
self. When it was finished. Partridge
stepped in. What a fine ride he
was going to take tout, as soon as
STARR ORCHESTRA
PLAYS AT MISSION
Starr school orchestra played
at the Whitewater Friends' church
last week. Alter they played, a
supper was served to them by the
church.
On Sunday night they played at
