CHEMAWA AMERICAN. Duck Bill dun Club, The Duck Bill Gun Club has just held Its final meeting for this season. The ob ject of the meeting was to determine who was the champion. The meeting opened up with the usual preliminaries, and flooo quite a spirited and wordy combat was In dulged lu by all members of the club. "Penn"Bill" and "Okla.BiH" took an active part, but as neither could produce a 8Ubntaullal record they were given the "cold arm" an d told to "go way back and Bit down". "Penn.Bill" withashowing of one sickly blackbird and "Okla.Bill" of a possible snipe could not hope to figure sue cestfully iu this meriting, so were disposed of as slated above. The fight finally cen tered itnelf amund "Champion Dave" and "Texas Hank" as (o which was entitled to the belt. "CuampioD Dave" claimed to have knocked down a Btray goose, which Rtatement considerably floored "Texas Hank" as n had no goose on bis list but rallying, he came back at hi m wilh such a counties number of snipes win to that the Champion was completely overwhelmed, yielded up the persimmon and spake no more. "Penn.Bill" aud "Okla.Bil;" look ed on quieUy from the rear, Plausible Figures. It is somelimes nahl with an appearance of plausibility that education kills the In dian, aod you will Ireqmntly find that Mmwh who say so are always ready to give figures. When the figures are f.'rihcomiiig lliey will usually he that so muy children left eneli and such a reservation and after so ninny veurs so many are dead The writer has some fiurea alo. He wxs Hupeilnteitdent of a r beivalion fdi"ol, and left, the school with an attend ance of 147 pupils. At thu end of 18 luontbH he hud ocouBlon to visi t tin naoie Agency and Inking up his roll and ti"i-k-In it lie found 'In I. HI of t.n 147 were id ail. Thse tUuredo not, h.Cltrte those who were enrolled during he e 18 in otlis Tt might he remarked that during Una period no epidemic prevailed. Now we do not pretend to say, in fact we know, that this record is not a reflection upon tlie management of that school and Agency; but rather upon the conditions tiia', exsist. It Is rather so-called human -itarlanisru which is largely the Cause of it. A child gets a little sick and then is allowed to be taken home to he with its mother ami soon it Is dead. You ruignt say you should not allow the child to go home. That may be true, but should you take that Bttm-t there are plenty ready to call you an unfeeling brute, one.wbo would keep a sick child from hs mother. Tulalip Notes.
