On Tuesday, Feb. 22, occurred not only
the birthday of V ashington, but also of
Miss Anna Bender, and her friends
decided to celebrate the event in a fitting
manner keeping it, however, a secret

others, each well laden with good things
Her surpiise was complete, but she

hour the fifteen guests took their depart

CUTTING TABLE CLIPPINGS.
On Friday, Feb. 25, 1910, Sam John
came into the tailor shop with an order
for a school suit properly signed by the
office. Not having garments in stock
large enough, we were obliged to make
a suit for him. It is customary for the
more advanced students who can cut
garments to handie all such orders en
tirely, so this applicant for a school suit
was placed in the hai:ds of Gideon Han
bury and Joe Simpson, one to take the
measure, the other to enter it in the
order book, both tasks requiring great
care, accuracy, experience and skill
They will cut it, try it on, and be re
sponsible for the result when finished.
If. not satisfactory the fault will be point
ed out, and explained in a draft the
cause of same and the effect it has pro
duced. Such training will bear good results
in the future, for both of these young
men are capable, and when they leave
Chemawa to go into civil life they will
be tried and found not wanting in skill
and knowledge of their trade and will
take their place among other men with
out comment, only such as skill, merit
and good deportment, will command.
