Indian Chief Says Hostilities Interfere
Willi Sleep Too .Much.
iTemt'ie Telegram Special.)
Spokane, Wash., Pec. 15.—Indian
lo,e of war does not extend to the
pit sent conflict between the nations,
declines Chief Peopeotahllket of the
.Von Pernes who came to Spokane to
protect against any members of his
tribe heins drafted into service. The
aged chief's objection is based prin-
cipally 011 his belief that war means
want of sleep. Up says that while he
was being chased by General Howard's
troops in the Indian war of 1877 he
slept neither night nor day. For that
reason he is opposed to war.
Another reason advanced is that the
N'ez i'erces have treaties with the gov-
ernment calling for perpetual peace.
Hut so far I'eopeotahliket hitff, been
disappointed in learning that only In-
dians who are not citizens of the
I'uited States are exempt from the
draft. Those who ure citizens are
subject to the call. Some are being
excused as agriculturists.
A company has been formed in
Norway for making fuel from peat hy
the Koscndahl method. The raw ma-
terial for the new industry will be
chiefly peat from tho extensive Nor-
wegian moors, but any other material
may be used which is sufficiently
abundant in the neighborhood of the
factory, particularly wood waste. The
product is said greatly to resemble
English coal.

After all, there are no new sanies
more amusing or fun-giving than the
old-fashioned ones, sta ll ns progres-
sive conversation, pats the UtllLuti,
twisting a word to make as many oth-
er words as possible, guessing contests
and forfeit games. Though there is
"nothing new under I he sun," one of
these herewith suggested may aid a
distracted holiday hostess.
(■ntlieilng Snowballs.
For the littlest tots this game will
prove very enjoyable, To each one
give a fluffy cotton snowball, which
should be attached to'one. ankle with
a narrow elastic, jt^st to hold it Tight-
ly. one thild sits 011 the floor while
the others join hands and dance
around him. Without moving from
his scat, the one in the center reaches
for the snowball on the ankle that
seems easiest to reach. The players
must, not let go of each other's hands
in endeavoring to dance out of his
reach. When one Is caught be is de-
prived of ins snowball, and must take
the other's place in the ring. As the
contest narrows down to the last two
or three who still have their snow-
balls, the game grows quite exciting.

"snowball fight" with the trophies,
Novel Way to Choose l'lirlncrs.
To avoid the "twosometiess" which
is so apt to exist In the average towns,
the wise hostess plans to have her
guests choose partners, at least one.-
during the evening. Two cntertiin-
ing ways are given.
1. Cut a large circle of white card-
board, dividing it with red ink into
as many sectors as there will be ,girls
present. Write a girl's name in each
division. Make a large red arrow and
attach to the center of the circle with
a brad. I..,y tin" tircle on a smooth
table and have each hoy come up in
turn and spin the arrow, thus choos-
ing his partner, of course, if 11 girl's
name lias been chosen, the boy must
again take his turn. The hostess may
avoid the embarrassment of there be-
ing a last choice, hy refusing to he
Chosen until nil her guests are ac-
counted for.
2. Another very pretty method 1s
to have a large holly wreath suspend-
ed in a doorway. I'resciit the Kills,
who are in one room, with a piece of
rn:srletoe to which is attached n Ions
red ribbon. The ribbons are all put
through the holly wreath and the boys
in the next, room each choose an end
from the maze. The wreath is cut,
and the girls wind up the ribbon,
thus "drawing" their partners.
Trimming the Tree.
Select a small cedar tree, or make
1 tree out of crepe paper, roughly
torn to resemble the branches. Eacji
guest is given a tree ornament, either
a string of tinsel, cranberries or pop-
corp. or a bauble. In turn they pin
the ornaments on the tree w hile blind-
folded. For the most artistic trial,
a prize may be given.
Charades.
Oid-timey, hut what is more fun
than this-' game of guessing'.' The
charades may lie arranged forAbefore-
hand, or may be impromptu.
, A little (girl with her arms out-
stretched, a star on her forehead, and
draped with popcorn and tinsel would
make an easily-guessed tree.
A boy might place a can on a table
in the room, and In leaving, say "Ta-
ta" (Cantata).
• A boy wearing a Turkish fez. or an
imitation one (cap with tassel) hold-
ing a key (Turkey).
j One person might take aim with a
; nswer is obv ions—mistletoe.
A word which has to do largely
with the modern Christmas might be
suggcivd by one person calling the
roll, and others in the picture an-
swering "lYesent" (I'resenfs). This
is not as easy to guess as it sounds.

Our Pilgrim fathers countenanced
no such frivolities in their Christmas
Celebrations. These masques were no

at which their honest, religious hearts
rebelled. They spent their very first
Christmas in their newly adopted

logs to build the first house in 1'ly-

Hi
CHRISTMAS
FURNITURE!
When Christmas time conies 'round there
is always a big question as to what to give,
and with the average household it is a hard
one to solve satisfactorily.
Nearly every home in Bell county needs
some piece of furniture. Furniture is always
an acceptable gift. This Furniture Store con-
tains so many different pieces of nice Furni-
ture that most anything needed can be had so
why trouble about what to give. Just come
here and select a nice chair, table, bed, dining
room suite, parlor suite, in fact.just the thing
needed to fill the want of mother, father, sis-
ter or friend.
