know a little that the Grandfather spoke the truth. The Grandfather
gives me food for six days, but even though I eat a very little each
day, in three days I have eaten it all up. But now I have raised corn
and though I abide here eating nothing else, by it I live. And also to
go from my place to where the Grandfather gives me rations takes one
week to go and the same to come back and I stay over a few days to rest
when there, and so it altogether covers over three weeks or more.
Therefore, though I have settled here and desire to busy myself in all
the white man's ways that I am able, I have not yet become independent.
And therefore, I earnestly wish, if it were possible, that the
Grandfather would enable us to receive a year's rations at a time, and
then we would make speedy progress in the white man's way.
And because of this also, the children do not advance much in their
learning. For when we go after the food they also go along. If they
should stay behind, food is scarce, therefore they go along.
And now I hear it said that schooling in the Dakota language is to be
altogether stopped, and on this account I am sad. For in the
school-house here they learn well and also they pray. It is because they
do these things in the Dakota language that we have been brought to
understand them and to love them, and gladly live in accordance with
them. Then also if it was all done (the teaching and praying) by a white
man we would understand nothing about it, and so I do not think it would
be well.
And now this is the last thing I want to say. The Grandfather has for
his own the Indians all over the land, and he always helps them
according to what may be for their welfare. Now he is measuring off the
land for them, but I hear it said that he measures it very, very small,
and I am sad about that. If only he would have mercy and measure it off
for them largely, that is what I think. A good while ago the Grandfather
made a treaty with the Indians and promised to give them three hundred
and twenty acres, and according to that I have chosen my homestead and
that suits me. Therefore I prize the Grandfather's word and measure
myself by it. And thus I possess myself and my children.
Although we are not many people here, yet I always command them to give
heed to the words of the Grandfather. And I bear witness to their
constant attendance at the house (the school and church) that stands
here. Although I am wholly an Indian, yet these are my judgments and so
I tell them. And I write them in order that some may think about the
Indians. My friends, I wish you to hear these words and so I write them.
I shake hands with a good heart.

Miss Bertha Robertson, missionary of the A.M.A. from McIntosh, Ga., will
spend a few months in presenting our work in the North. She has just
completed a missionary tour in Maine, which has been most fruitful of
good, and will now give a few weeks to the churches of New Hampshire,
speaking to meetings of ladies, or to mixed audiences, as may be
desired. Applications for her services can be made to Miss Emerson, of
the Woman's Bureau, 56 Reade St., New York, or to Rev. Cyrus Richardson,
Nashua, N.H.
A teacher in the South writes:--"We have had a Merry Christmas trying to
make others happy. The people have never done so much for others before.
We found an old couple in very destitute circumstances, and asked the
school children if they would not like to do something for them. It was
very interesting to see them bring their gifts of a little sugar, meal,
flour, or an armful of wood, a potato, a little salt, whatever they
could get. It did them good. After our Christmas exercises at the
church, we took quite a number of the children around to see the old
people, and they sang their Christmas songs. I don't know which enjoyed
it most, the children or the old people.
Some young men of the Sunday-school paid a month's rent for a poor
woman. We are doing more than ever this year in getting the young people
to go and hold prayer meetings, or read to those who cannot get out to
church."

FOR THE CHILDREN.
HOW SUSY WENT TO TOUGALOO.
You never could guess just how she went, if you should try from now
until your next birthday, so I'll tell you first how she came to go to
Tougaloo at all.
To begin with, Mamma Bradley had been rummaging about in the attic a
long time, when little Fay set out to find her.
"What are you doing up here, mamma?" said Fay. "I've been hunting for
you ever so long."
"Oh, I'm looking for some things to put in the barrel that is going to
Tougaloo for the poor people that the missionaries are working for."
"Clothes?" said Fay.
"Yes, clothes, and I suppose they would be glad of almost anything that
would help to make their lives more comfortable," said her mother.
Fay sat down in an old basket and watched her mother fold and unfold the
contents of trunks and boxes so quietly, that Mrs. Bradley finally
looked up and said:
"Why don't you go to your play, dear? What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking," said Fay, "do you s'pose the Tougaloo folks have any
little girls?"
"Oh, yes, plenty of them."
"Big's me?"
"Yes, all sizes, I suppose," said Mrs. Bradley, going on with her work.
"Well," said Fay, "I was thinking, how d'you s'pose they'd like Susy?"
"What! the new dolly that Auntie gave you for keeping your elbows off
the table?"
"Yes'm," said Fay. "Do you s'pose she'd make a little Tougaloo girl's
life any more comfor'ble?"
"Why, yes, dear, anything that gives you so much pleasure would please
them, of course," said her mother, "but are you quite sure you want to
give Susy away?"
"Well, when Auntie gave us our missionary boxes in the Sunday-school
class, she told us to be sure and remember what was printed on them, and
she read on one side something about people giving their first fruits,
and she said it meant their best things, and on top it said, 'Inasmuch
as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto
me.' Now Susy is my best doll--any way I love her best, and there
couldn't be anybody much leaster than a little girl like me way down in
Tougaloo, could there, mamma?"
"Well, you must think it all over, and if you are quite sure that you
want to do it, we will take Susy down to the church this afternoon with
the other things," said her mother.
Fay said no more, and in a few minutes she tripped down stairs, and when
her mamma followed soon after, she heard the creak of Fay's little
rocking chair, and the words, "Sleep, baby, sleep," which told her as
she peeped through a crack in the door, that Susy was getting her last
lullaby from the fond little mother, who at the proper time presented
Susy all dressed for her journey to Tougaloo.
"When Fay and her mother arrived at the church, sure enough right there
in the parlor stood two or three barrels, while dear old Mrs. Rogers and
half a dozen other ladies were filling them with useful articles.
"Here is a package of clothing," said Mrs. Bradley, " and I have another
bundle, which Dennis will bring from the carriage in a few minutes."
"And Susy's going to Tougaloo," said Fay, reaching out her treasure to
Grandma Rogers as she spoke.
"Well now, the dear," said Grandma Rogers, "don't you want her yourself,
blossom?"
"No'm, not now," said Fay, "if you'll find a little girl who'll take
real good care of her--her name's 'Susy.'"
"Well, did you ever!" said Grandma Rogers. " Here's jest the place for
Susy, she can set right here in Miss Blout's bunnit as snug as a bug."
"Wait a minute, Mrs. Rogers," said Miss Bliss, and taking a pencil she
wrote on a little slip of paper, "My name is Susy, and I should like to
go to some little girl who will take good care of me." This she read and
pinned the slip on Susy's pretty dress when she was safely seated in
"Miss Blout's bunnit," in which odd carriage, made of roses and ribbons,
Susy started on her long journey to Tougaloo. Her little mother, Fay,
would like some day to get a letter from Susy's new mother, though she
has not yet heard from her.
