A girl was sitting by the fire on
the evening of her first day at one
of our mission schools and, as she
was sittsig there, she drew a deep
sigh. "What is the matter," asked
her teacher, "are you unhappy?"
"No," she answered, "but I was
thinking that this is the first time
I can remember when I have been
both full and warm in the winter
time." That girl now wears one of
the oiliest faces to be seen at the
Santee School. The gospel of Je
sus drives away a great deal of sor
row.Word Carrier.

SHEEHAP8 WORK!
WASHIJTGTOK, Special, April
16.Mr. Nelson received letters
to-day showing that Sheehan, the
agent of the Chippewas at White
Earth agency, had, under direc
tion from the Indian bureau, call
ed a council of the Indians to try
and persuade them to retract their
action on the agreements and con
demn the Nelson bill. He had
spent two days in this council,
wrangling with the Indians and
abusing Nelson and his bill. He
advised the Indians to keep clear
of the Nelson bill and to write
Senator Dawes a petition, signed
by all of them, asking that the
commission agreements be affirm
ed. The elder Beaulieu in council
led the opposition to the agree
ments, and in letter written to his
son, says.
