THE CHEMA1
CUTTING TABLE CLIPPINGS.
It is with much pleasure that the tail
or shop can report upon the progress of
some of its apprentices. Were we to
fall heir to a very large legacy it would
not please us as well to tell of it as it
does to tell of the progress of our coat
and trouser makers that are to be.
Of course Harry Joe and Chester Me
cum are still in the race for a full course
in coat making and coat cutting, and
some day our hopes will be fully real
ized by reading the signs of the times:
Harry Joe
Merchant Tailor
also
Chester Mecum
Merchant Tailor
But there are others who are making
a reputation for themselves by an honest
and earnest endeavor to excel in what
they undertake to do. And this quali
ty is evidenced by the results from the
hands of Milton Godowa.
This boy is a comer and it need not
surprise his friends to hear of him hold
ing forth at the cutting table preparing
the work for himself and others to make
on or before Christmas, 1908. He has
shown that same stick-to-it-iveness at
his trade that he displayed in trying
ta learn to play the cornet. He kept
pegging away-and -today he is an easy
trouser maker, and please let me tell the
boys of Chemawa that, for the lime he
has been at this work, he has accom
plished wonders, and that is going some.
ITEMS BY THE "DKVIL"
Happening to be a little shy on items
the other day we sent our illustrious

with pencil and paper. Ti e following is
the result:
Charles Dick says he can do many
tricks on the turning bar.
John Darnell is a good hand at catch
ing birds.
Johnny Johnson is lazy working at
the office. Wake up, Johnny!
Jerry Rees says he can stand on his
head any day in the week.
Left-Over Items
' Joe Charles is said to be a good straw
berry picker.
The boys have alreacty begun picking
strawberries in the country.
We hope Nelse Charles will soon re
cover from his spell of illness.
