STOIC INDIAN BOY
CALLEDBY DEATH
"Little Chief," Brave Warrior
Against Pain, Dies at St.
Joseph Hospital.
CHUMS ARE PALLBEARERS
"Little Chief" is dead.
The stoic charity patient, an 11-year-old
Sioux Indian, whose cheer
ful indifference to pain for the long
months that he has suffered won the
admiration of the nuns, doctors and
nurses at St. Joseph hospital, has
gone to the happy hunting grounds.
He was buried Friday morning in
Gregory. S. D.
Peter Selwyn was 'the little chief's
right name, but Jjis sobriquet is what
his chums and the hospital authori
ties called him. Peter was a leader
of boys. Despite his lame leg (the
victim of a tubercular knee) the
young Indian joined with his little
white friends in their pastimes. Peter
steadfastly refused to believe that
lie was going to get better, but never
omplauied.
No Fear of Death.
Recently, when he had been
brought back to the hospital from
St. Francis academy to undergo
another operation, "Little Chief"
turned to the attendant nun and said:
"Sister, I am going to die soon."
"No, chief, you are not. You are
going to get better after this opera
tion," was the reply.
"You try to encourage me," said
Peter. "I don't need encouragement.
I'am not afraid to die."
Nuns Weep.
Nurses and nuns wept when Peter
did die. And moist were the eyes
of his six chums who acted as pall
bearers. Rupert Weir, Paul Schoeppe,
William Laux. Francis Krebs, Leo
Coyne and Philip Weinert were boys
with whom the little red-skinned lad
always liked to play and they carried
the white coffin that bore Peter from
the hospital to the train.
Father B. Sinnc officiated at a req
uiem mass in St. Joseph hospital's
chapel before the boys carried the
"Little Chief" away. All the patients
who were physically able attended
the services.
Open the Store Each Day
With Christmas Carols
In keeping with the spirit of the
season, tiurgess-Nash open their
store each morning with the singing
ot Christmas carols and anthems.
A chorus of mixed voices has been
gathered together from among the
employes and sing from the balcony
on the main floor every morning at
8:30 o'clock.
"Christmas carols were an inven
tion of the early church to offset the
joyous license ot paganism, said
Louis C. Nash. "Song was an expres
sion of rejoicing among the Romans.
Hence the making of pious canticles.
simple in form, so that they might
be sung by learned and ignorant -
"Such is the origin of the custom,
which still lingers in certain parts
of England, of 'Waits' going from
house to house on Christmas eve and
singing carols."
G. C. Bedford, Popular
Implement Man, is Dead

lar advertising manager for the In
ternational Harvester company, died

Gets a Wallop and Then
Loses His Big Bank Roll
Two white men, well-dressed, in
troduced themselves to W. L. Pres
ton of Portland, Ore., in a saloon
"somewhere in Omaha" Thursday
night and drinks helped to foster the
new friendship. Then the duet sug
gested a promenade. Preston agreed,

street viaduct, got a wallop on the
head and a long sleep. When he

Liner Caledonia
Is Reported Sunk
London, Dec. H. The Anchor Line
steamship Caledonia, of 9,225 tons
gross, is believed to have been sunk,
says an announcement made today at
Lloyd's shipping agency.
(Associated l'mjs War .Summary.)
The rounding up of Roumanian
troops is being continued by the Teu
tonic forces. The latest statement
by the German war office announces
the capture of 8,000 additional pris
oners, together with twenty-six guns.
Seemingly the Roumanians and
such Russian troops as were aiding
them are still on the retreat north
eastward and military commentators
for the most part do not expect a
stand to he made by the Roumanians
before the line of the Buzeu river is
reached. ,
This-line virtually closes the neck
of the province of Moldavia, running
eastward from the Hungarian fron
tier to Galata on t he lower Danube
on the Bessarahian border. It is re
garded as a strong defensive line and
one easily susceptible of reinforce
ment from Russian sources.
On the Franco-Belgian front the
only recent operation of note has
been in the Verdun region, where the
Germans yesterday claimed the cap
ture of the summit of Hill 304, west
of the Meuse. Today Paris announces

Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets arc a
purely vegetable compound mixed with

olive color.
To have a clear, pink skin, bright eyes,
no pimples, a feeling of buoyancy like
childhood days you must get at the cause.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act on the
liver and bowels like calomel yet have
no dangerous after effects.
They start the bile and overcome con
stipation. That's why millions of boxes
are sold annually at 10c and 25c per
box. All druggists. Take one or two
nightly and note the pleasing results.
