Plenty of time to plant trees.
Our trees are kept in our large ,
cool , cement building now and are

Commencement at St. Francis Mission
The twenty-sixth annual com
mencement of St. Francis Mission
was held on Tuesday , June 20 , in
honor of Rt. Rev. Jas. Busch ,
D. D. , Bishop of Lead , SD. .
Every one of the children did
their parts beautifully , and the
Sisters and Brothers of the Mis
sion deserve much credit for the
talents displayed by the pupils.
Bishop Busch made a short address *
outlining the work of the Mission ,
but not attempting to enumerate all
of the good it has done to the Sioux
children , and in a few simple words
to the Indians , interpreted by
Father Westrop , asked them to
send their children to the school
where they would be well trained
and taken care of. The Sioux ? s
a nation are religious and it is said
that they have never harmed a
priest. Father Digmann also spoke
to the Indians in their native
tongue.
After the program the work of
the students was examined. L\ce ,
drawn and embroidery work by
the girls , and tin and cabinet work
by the boys , was excellent. The'
composition papers by all the stud
ents proved that they are master
penman.
Quite a few people went out from
Valentine. Among them were
Father Blaere , A. M. Morrissey ,
Harrison Davenport , F. M. Wai-
cott and his mother and sister Mrs.
Brown , Of. M. Gaskill , and Mrs.
Christensen and party. Bishop
Busch returned \ralentine with
Mr. Morrissey.
