Once upon a time there lived an
Eskimo King. He was a great hunter.
The people of the village had to use
their harpoons, and hows and arrows
and spe irs.
O. e day he heard that another king
was going to shoot him. This fright
ened him,but he dared not run away
so he said, “ I will run to meet ti e
king. If he slays me alright. I clout
care for my life. It is cold here and i
might freeze or starve a y way.”
So one morning while the people
were sleeping, he ran away as fast as
he could. By and by daylight came
and with it a strong wii d which at
last turned into a blizzard.
The snow piled in big drifts and
the wind was very mad.Tl e poor
king lost liis way and c;id not meet
the one that was coming to shoot
him.
At last he fell into an opening and
went down and down for a longtime.
At last he saw a house. He did
not know whose house it was.He did
not care. For he thought it makes no
difference what happens to me for
the king is going to kill me any way.
lie went into the house and there
sat a young, and beautiful lady sew
ing.She said to him, “what made you
come here?” The king answered her,
‘ ‘ i was running to meet a big chief ai d
i am lost.”
The maiden pleased him and he fell
in love with her. Soon the king mar
ried her. She was very strong. Her
arms were covered with hair. After
a time the lady said to the man
INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT
The display of articles—products
of the needle and carpenter tools—
when hung on on the wall and spread
on the tables made a display quite
encouraging to teachers, pupils, par
ents, and visiting friends.
There were about 150 articles on
exhibit made by the kindergarten
room, primary room and high school
room. Supt. Evans pronounced the
needle work among the finest he had
seen this year. Thru some sort of a
transformation the boys had changed
potatoe crates,boxes etc into picture
frames, match holders, pencil boxes,
pen supports, tie holders, spool
st mds and other useful and pretty
articles too numerous to mention.
These were all neatly made stained
varnished and polished until they
shone.
The domestic science class under
the direction of Miss. Benson fur*
nished some 257 hot biscuit and de
licious tea to the audience.
As an introduction to all the fore
goi: g. A musical program was given.
A few of the village young people
gladly rendered their assistance to
this feature of the exhibit.
The quartet “dog so: g” and the
original, “Caw caw song” were
perhaps the most appreciated.
And again Mr. Steinliauser came
to the front by sending a bitch et .of
candy to the children.—The buchet
was left.
“You go away and leave me,for by
and by I shall be a m o t li e r. If the
baby looks like you I wont kill you,
but if he does not I shall. When I call
yo you may come back.”
