Slip Put HE whole tribe, less the Absent One, and the Trouble Makers, had gath- ered about the camp fire to discuss the momentous question as to whether or not the Eastern portion of the Tribe were to have their work intermingled with ours, in the annual “Shooting Match.” This having been favorably decided, we turned our faces toward the western horizon, and were seriously thinking of adjourning, when the shadows of the Speech Maker and the Money Man were reflected on the trail. Their faces spoke of conflict within. After exchanging grunts around, we waited. And then “it happened.” Very soon a grand discussion was in full sway between the two latest arrivals, concerning the price of last year’s engraving. (Not that it is any of our business, only it pays to know a few things.) The Speech Man: “There is nothing that makes a book more pleasing to the eye than numberless tail pieces, and numerous headings. My dear Boy!” The Boy probably caused the next. The Money Man: “But, My Child, all these things cost MONEY, and that is exactly what we haven’t got!” At this the villaiuess piped in, “Why not have a Candy Sale?” but her voice was drowned in the clatter. Smiling Face is getting decidedly bored. When Big Chief could be heard above the din. he roared: “Mr. Ditmer has an account of all the expenditures and you can easily get any information you want from him.” Instantly the aspect of things was changed, and the two Trouble Makers, (they sat side by side), slapped each other on the shoulders and LAUGHED. Everybody else wondered why. As the result of an arduous search the peace pipe had been discovered, behind an adjacent pine tree, (the radiator) where it had taken refuge when the fray began. When the smoke from the many different nostrils blended into a harmonious whole, somewhere near the ceiling, the ideas of the several minds indicated a desire for HOME. And then-----We adjourned. 41 FRIEDA LUCIIT, 1912.
