The Eskimos.
Pv Vera Bradley, Aged It Tears. 1010
Center Street, Omaha, .Neb. Blue Bide,
We all know about the Eskimos, but I
am interested in them. I will write about
them.
Tha Ksklmos that live in the far north,
in tha frigid sone, are unlike most peo
ple In tha world. They are not as tall
as the American' and have a brown skin.
They live In ice houses, and to sjvt into
them they have to crowl on their hands
and knees to ret through.
They live mainly by hunting the seal
and fishing. They eat the meat off the
seal and sell the skin to American traders
who go out there especially to get the
raluable seal - skin . The American
traders trade flour juid sometimes money
for tha seal skins.- 1
The Eskimos wear clothes made of seal
skins. First tha mother takes a piece of
skin and put It on the child, fur sida
dowiv. ijiia-thtn aews it on.- Than aha
takes another pleoe of skin and saws It
fur side up. Then the child has its
clothes.

One day their mother told them to t;o

Ho they look a basket .and started.
Boon they were at the strawberry patch.
They began plcklne; "'he brrlea All of

they could go through thi forest. At

they had forgotten In their hurry, Tliey
kept wsndcrhig through -the forest until
Hans said, ."Wliere .are we?" and Grethel
said. Wa sre lost." Then they began
to run about trying to fine? their way
out of the foreet. All cf a sudden an- owl
ssid. "Hoot, hoot." Oretehel did not
know what It waa and became afraid.
Aa It was growing dark, Hans began to
look for a cava to sleep In. He soon
spied one and he and GfVthel went In
and lay down to sleepA About midnight
they were awakened by bearing volcea
in the cave. Ixxklng around Hans saw
a ring of dwarfs dancing and singing a
song. Listening, he understood what they
were'slnglng. This la what they were
singing. . .' ; '
"O. we have a secret, oh we hsve a
secret to guide. lost people home. Three
yards from here is a tree. Pluck a leaf
and blow It In tha air and follow it. It
will guide you home. . Hans said. '''Now
Grethel we can find our way home." So
they fan out of the cave and meaatired
the three yards the best they could and
sure enough there wss the tree. Bu
the rimbs were too high and Hans could
not reach them. Looking around, he
saw a leaf growing out of the trunk.
Just within reaching distance. Hans
plucked it and blew It in the air. When
It was sis feet In the air It began going
southward. They followed It and it led
them to a path. It went down the path
and they followed It. It took them until
noon before they reached the end ot tha
forest and there they saw their house.
They ran around to tha back door and
knocked. Their mother opened tt and
they ran in and told her about the bear
jrtd le.if and the dwarfa. When they
iiad finished their mother said. "Your
fa' her has g'.me out to hunt for you.
Will you go and find him and tell him
that you are home?" They aaid they
would and started. They soon returned
with their father and they lived happily

My friends and I had planned to go

to put on ' our bathing suit and went

or dead. He is the white fox
terrier dog we told you about
a few months ago. He is the
a-inie dog and yet he la not the same dog.
Before his recent trip he was a regular
runabout, had no regard for meal times,
would come home at all tlmea of the
evening and Jjst seemed to think he did
not have to be a good dog. He's changed
ro olnto he waa away ten days and re
turned to his home. Yes. Trlx came bne'e.
'Twaa at S o'clock the other evening,
when he whined at the kitchen door, hla
head hung low and hia white hair all
dirty Just aa if he had been In some coal
bin for a week.
He was hungry and tired, too; and ao
meek you never saw euch a meek dog
before. You Just never saw a dog gladder
to get back to his nice warm home, with
an old coat under the kitchen tablo at
night time and lots of bones and meat
to chew on. Trlx has had experlenca and
he eeerns to believe there Is no place like
home.
A few weeks ago it was on wash day
TjHx struck out to make the round of the
neighborhood. Bains a fox terrier, you
know, he waa given to roaming whenever
ho felt like It. Pcrhapa when he left
home he thought lie would get out of the
way becauao It was wash day. and ho
never did like wash day. anyway. He
Just went and kept on "wenting," for ha
did not return that night. There waa no
scratching on the kitchen door that night
to let a little dog in. Next morning came
and no dog. Mrs. B., his mistress, cried,
because she had learned to like Trix very
much.
"Oh, don't cry, he'll come back. Tou
can't lose a fox terrier," kindly aaid Mr.
B. to hla wife.
"Well, If he is only a dog I can't help
crying. He waa so cunning and faithful.
Didn't he watch the house at night times,

How many burglars have you frightened

Mr. B. did not want to start any family

When they had It ready they called us.
After we were through eating we saw a

When we came home we gave the fish

said he would have the boys of the neigh
borhood look around, would put an ad
In the newspapers, and he felt sure Trtx
would come back.
The accond and third day went by and
no Trix. At evening time, when tha
family were gathered around the reading
lamp. Mrs. B. would think of Trix. "I
believe sfcmebody has tied him up, or
perhaps he was killed by a Ford or a
street car," remarked Mrs. B.
"I tell you he will get home. Olve him
time," said the hutband, aa he tried to
comfort Mrs. B.
Then the cold siisp came with 22 below
tero. That made Mis. B. think again of
Trlx. "Suppose he Is out In this cold
weather with nothing to eat." she sobbed.
Then Arthur, the boy of the house, sug
gested that his cousin, Frank, get hH
pony Dandy out snd do a little scouting
of the neighborhood for Trlx. Frank
won Dandy it Christmas time from a
downtown store and the boy was anxious
to rldo the animal. Dandy was driven
all around Hanscom park, but nothing
could be seen of Trix.
Ten days we.-c gone since Trlx left
homo and his absence made Mrs. B. be
lieve she never would ree him again. The
other . evening abcut S o'clock ahe was
reading a newspaper when she heard a
scratch and a fntnt bark: on the kitchen
door. It was r.ot like the bark of Trlx,'
and yet she thought there was something
of the familiar sound. 6he went to the
door and. shivering in the cold, there was
Trlx. She picked the dog up in her arms
and Trlx wagged his short little tall and
licked her hand, Juat aa if he wanted to
aay he wss mighty glad to get back home
again. Trix we U under tha kitchen table
to see If his old coat was still there ami
he looked througn the house and then
acted as if he wanted something to eat
and drink. Did he eat and drink? Well,
he Juat ate Wil he could hardly walk.
After a good feed Mrs. B. gave Trlx a
warm bath and fixed a bed near one of
the hot-air registers. Trix curled up and
snooxed all night.
"I Just wonder whether somebody took
Trlx in and thought he waa a stray dog.,
or whether he got lost. That's what I
would like to know," remarked Mrs. B.
"Well, I told you Trtx would come
back, didn't I? You'll .have gome confi

Trlx has decided that the best place to

Story of the Poncas
When tha first white men came up the
Missouri rtver thay found a little tribe
of Indians living In that IwauUful part
of Nebraska by the mouth of the Nio
brara, which is now Knox and Boyd
counties. They found clear flowing
alrnama, wooded hills, graaay valleys and
back of them the buffalo prairies. There
were less then a thousand people in the
little tribe. They wera tall and fine
looking, and from the first were friendly
to the white men and were never at
war with them. Their land lay between
(ho ttloux country on th west and tha
I'awnee and Omaha country on th south
and cs.it. The language they spoke was
rvluted to the Btoux iarguag. but more
like that of the Omahaa. They were
often at war with the Bloux. but gener
ally at peec with th Omahaa. so much
so that a great many of their young
men and women wera intermarried with
Ih Omahaa. ' Although auth a llttl
trlb. they had their own name, Tunka
or I'onca; their own traditions; and they
bad lived so long In that part of Ne
braska where the first white men found
them that they had no other horn, only
stories of a far-off Mm when their fath
ers had come up th Mlaaourl and set
tied at th mouth of th Niobrara.
After a time white aettlera began to
come Into Lie i'onca country, to tak
land and kill off the game. In lsC4 th
I'nltrd states mado a treaty with th
Pence by th terms of which the I'micas
gav up all their land except that part
between th Niobrara river and I'onca
creek. Th richest of their land below
the mouth of th Niobrara was opened to
th whit aettlera. Th part which th
I'onca were to keep was on th border
of th Bloux. their old enemies' country,
but the United Hate promised In the
treaty to , protect tha Poncas, to pay
them money every )ar. to build tttem
house and to give them schools for
their children.
Two yeara after thla treaty the Bloux
made a raid en the Tone and ami
mora than half of their horses. Th
Ponea hunting ground, where they used
to kill buffalo, was covered with Bloux
hunting parties and th I'onca could not
gel their winter supply of meat.
routh cam on th land and their
patchea of corn were a failure Even
th wild plums dried on th trees and
th Poncaa hunted over, th plains for
wild turnip and at cornstalk 'to keep
from starving.
Then a party of. Toncas went to vlalt
their friend, the Omahaa. Ther were
four men, six women, three boy and
two girls. Some drunken white soldier
killed three women and en girt, burned
their tent and drov away thalr atz
ponies. Still th Poncas remained at
peac with the white people. .
In 1&3 the I'nlted mates mad a great
treaty with the Sioux Indians at Fort
Laramie. In that treaty by some niistak
all of th Ponca land was given to th
bloux. tli bitter and lifelong enemies
of th poness. Thla waa don without
th consent or knowledge of th Poncsaa.
It took away from Uiem their home,
their garden and the graves ot their
fathers, which they had defended against
th Bloux for huudrads of years, and
made a present of them to their deadly
toes, th Bloux. Nothing so cruel and
unjust was ver done by th United
States to another trlb of Indians. And
this was don to a trlb which waa al
ways th friend of th whit man. Un-
eral 8hnnan. one of the commiaaloncr
who mad the treaty at Fort Laramie,
aaid he did not know that tids had ben
dona until long afterward. Th Poncaa
did not know that it had been don until
tt floux warrior raided tharo and
tauntingly ahouted. "This land balond to
us. Ut off." Th Poncas had no place
to go and remained upon thalr old re

th Bloux.
During th two eara, 1M and 1170,
they built sixty log cabins and put out

cars are operated or on hills which are crossed by street cars.
Boys and girls and even men and women have lost their lives or have been seriously
injured by dashing into street cars on their sleds and travelers.
Don't jeopardize your lives by coasting on dangerous hills. There are many places
in this city where this sport may be indulged in with safety.
