Cheyenne Transporter

CHEYENNE SCHOOL ITEMS.
We learn that John D. Miles, one of our school boys, is doing well in the TRANSPORTER office.
We are under obligations to Mr. Cassel, of Baxter Springs, Ks., for a package of Sabbath school papers.
The north wind has blown many a chilly blast the past two weeks. It is pleasant to be situated on a high hill only during a norther.
The sewing class go to the sewing room after school and sew until the first bell for supper. They are making themselves, by hand, an extra set of aprons.
Mr. and Mrs. Laury made us a "good bye" call on last Monday. We are sorry to have these friends go from our midst. Success go with them to their new field.
Rachel Bigfire, under Miss Logan's supervision, makes bread for the mess table. Better bread is not necessary. The school girls make the pies and cakes for the children.
Study the Sabbath school lesson after collection every Wednesday evening in the reception room. It would be agreeable to many others, who enjoy studying the lesson meet with us whenever convenient.
Little Tim Contestor has been sick for several weeks. His home is near the school. Every time he hears the bell ring his mother says he tries to get up and says "Now, I must go to school, or some one will come after me."
Mr. Tatum, Rev. Weeks and Mr. Williams addressed the Sabbath school on the 28th ult. Mr. Williams' talks are always so well understood by the camp Indians as well as the children that we are always glad when he has a word for us.
Mr. Jno. T. Hemphill, Mr. and Mrs. Charles and a Mr. Stevens visited our Sabbath school. Mr. S. expressed himself as being delighted with the first Indian school he had ever visited. Mr. Hemphill's remarks to the class in the reception room were full of spiritual advice.
We have many things for which to be thankful. Our children have excellent health this year. They seem so interested in their work, making so little trouble and doing all they can to assist about the house. They are certainly improving and having thought for others when they will step up and ask to assist in what you are doing.
The girls who attend the white folks' dining room, have become quite proficient. Jennie Black Kettle, Gertie Lindley, Belle Bellint and Clara Hyde are the principal ones-each serving two weeks in succession. They set the table, carry in the victuals from the kitchen, serve the tea and coffee and wash the dishes. They always want to know a guest's name before asking "will you have tea or coffee?"
Ralph Collins, of Red Fork, accompanied by Miss Ida Williams, visited study hour and collection.
Miss Ida hasn't lost her interest in our school, and says she can see the improvement the children are making. Mr. Collins was besieged by the little ones-a willing prisoner-and we think from the remarks that when the ranch business doesn't pay he will be ready for a position in an Indian school.
Come again, friends. Your presence encourages us in our work.
