An Interesting program was given, Pr. Charles Kniese, presiding. Rev. R. C. Jones offered the invocation, Mrs. G. E. Calloway, secretary, read the minutes of the past year, and called the classes, eighty-seven alumnus responding to roll call. Charles Wheeler acted as master of ceremonies in the iniation.of the class of 1915, which affords entertainment for the members of the association and their guests, but much discomfiture for the initiates. Attired in the garb of a wedding party, and to the strains of the Lohengrin wedding march, they were ushered to the front cf the room, each labelled with some cardinal virtue, and most solemnly initiated into the association. Mrs. Stella Cannon Caster, with Miss Gaynelle Hageman. accompanist, and George Babcock, with Mrs. Babcock at the piano, pleased with their solos as did Robert Beard and Russell Strickler, with their piano duet, and the male quartet. Prof. H. C. Kabel, Eugene Diffenderfer, Robert Beard and Walter Byers, with Miss Kdirh Palmer, pianist. Robert Guild, of Indianapolis, an alumnus, made a talk interesting to all, the younger and older members. Then followed the election of officers for the coming year which resulted in the election of W. H. Doney, president; Mrs. Nelson Fuhrman, vicepresident; Miss Mary Dillon, recording secretary; Mrs. J. W. Moore, corresponding secretary, and Charles Kellar, treasurer.

BY S. B. HUDDLESTON. In an early day when there were few openings and a few cabins with hard working pioneers struggling to maks farm out of the heavily timbered native wild land of western Wayne county, Boas Tharp came from Kentucky and built a cabin and commenced to make a clearing on what in after years became known as the Calaway farm just south of Cambridge City. One day while Mr. Tharp was engaged in his sugar camp a short distance from the cabin the children had been with him for it was a beautiful spring day. They were on their way back to the home, the older ones left their young sister in the path while they rambled a little way gathering wild flowers, hearing a subdued outcry and shuffle in the path they hastened back and found the sister was not there. They hastened to their mother and she and her husband searched hastiiy and he and neighbor men knowing an Indian had stolen her made effort to follow his tracks and overtake him. Found Among Indians. The search was not given up for several days. About thirty years later the parents heard that there was a white woman among the Indians on the Massissinewa river and they went immediately and identified her by a sear from a burn as their daughter. She had married an Indian and was a widow with several children. The parents tried in vain to persuade her to bring her children and return with them to their home, but the woman was so accustomed to Indian associations and manners that she would not give them up and her yearning parents had to return home without her to never see her again. On one occasion Samuel Morris was riding leisurely near the Tharp home

and he met an Indian. He was then a young man and was afraid to meet the Indian but he had been seen and could not escape so they met and passed. The Indian made a friendly nod and grunt in his salutation. Another time after he had become more acquainted with their ways he saw quite a crowd coming toward him. He was alone and they so numerous he hid himself in a thicket and they passed him. The Indians made frequent calls at the Aarcn Morris home with dressed buckskins and moccasins for sale. One time when they were living on the Justice lease on the Connersville pike not from from the John Knipe distillery, although white men were forbidden to sell whiskey to Indians they often got it and were quite troublesome to people they chose to visit. On this occasion, said Samuel Morris to us when he was an old man, a band of drunken Indians came from Knipes distillery riding at great speed through the forest and yelling, "Camassia like." The Morris boys who saw them coming toward their sugar camp expected that they would be dragged from their horses by the tree branches or otherwise dashed to death. They had been seen coming in time for the young men to take their syrup from the fire and hide it in a thicket near by. Rode Through Flames. The drunken Indians rode their horses through the fire until the hair was all burned off and perhaps the animals were ruined. Samuel Morris told us that Indians were wiser than white men for when they contemplated having a drunken spree they drew lots to elect one of their number who should stay sober and take care of the drunken ones. Another time they came to the Aaron Morris home and asked for a night's lodging. Aaron told them that he could not keep them, for his wife

was sick. They were drunk this time and one of them claiming to be a medicine man pressed his profession upon them by administering his art upon the sick woman, who was lying in bed. After going through the form of cleansing his mouth by repeated washings he filled it with water and spouted the spray upon her and would have repeated it, but Aaron layed his Quaker submission aside and in a rage drove the Indians from his cabin. Women Wear Blankets. Indian women, said Samuel Morris, wore their blankets on all occasions. They were belted about the waist and drawn close around the neck. Their papooses were lashed to a board or piece of bark and lashed to the mother's back, in traveling. When in camp the little ones still lashed to their board were leaned against a tree, or log, and little notice taken of them. Indian children were seldom clothed at all when in camp in warm weather. Samuel Morris told us one more story we must relate. His father had built a new cabin and a "family" of superior looking Indians came along and were allowed to lodge over night in the new cabin. They had shot a wild turkey during the day and wished to cook it. Mr. Morris gave them an iron kettle which they hung in the fireplace. They just about half picked off the feathers, did not singe nor wash it. They cut and tore the bird into pieces and put into the kettle to boil with a few winter squashes Mr. Morris gave them. They chopped up the squashes and threw them in seeds, dirt and all.
