over the other, and punched down the
ashes in his pipe-bowl with the square tip
of his middle finger. The thermometer on
the shady veranda marked eighty-seven
degrees of heat, and nature wooed the soul to
languor and revery; but nothing could abate
the energy of this bony sage. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

In left foreground, she faces left across a slightly rolling plain, her
gaze lifted. The back of her head is covered with a striped blanket.
Her small right hand holds the edge of the blanket near her throat.
Her dark hair is combed close to her head and then braided, one
circular knot of braid just visible above her right ear. Some
handwriting is visible in the bottom right-hand corner of the
portrait, but is not decipherable. Illustration by the author. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of
Lakesnam Villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned
brightly.
Father and son were at chess, the former, who possessed ideas
about
the game involving radical changes, putting his king into such
sharp and unnecessary perils that it even provoked comment from
the
white-haired old lady knitting placidly by the fire. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

occasion, is felt by every man in his transactions
with the world, and confessed by the settled and
regular forms of salutation which necessity has
introduced into all languages. Judgment was wearied
with the perplexity of being forced upon choice,
where there was no motive to preference; and it was
found convenient that some easy method of introduction
should be established, which, if it wanted
the allurement of novelty, might enjoy the security
of prescription. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

divided among Paris, Dresden and Florence. And now
Jane Hastings was at home again. At home in the
unchanged house — spacious, old-fashioned — looking down
from its steeply sloping lawns and terraced gardens
upon the sooty, smoky activities of Remsen City,
looking out upon a charming panorama of hills and valleys
in the heart of South Central Indiana. Six years of
striving in the East and abroad to satisfy the restless
energy she inherited from her father; and here she was,
as restless as ever — yet with everything done that a
woman could do in the way of an active career. She
looked back upon her years of elaborate preparation;
she looked forward upon — nothing. That is, nothing
but marriage — dropping her name, dropping her
personality, disappearing in the personality of another.
She had never seen a man for whom she would make
such a sacrifice; she did not believe that such a man
existed. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

the Second Reader class, moved from the basement
to the top story of the old Central Public
School. Her mother brought her and, leaving,
looked round at us, meeting for an instant each
pair of curious eyes with friendly appeal. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

in the March number of your magazine on "Naming the Indians," which
I have regarded for many years as of vital importance to the future
of our race. The instructions therein given by T. J. Morgan,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, to Indian agents and
superintendents of government Indian schools, I consider, in view
of our citizenship, of the utmost importance, and ought to have
been construed as obligatory upon teachers and superintendents in
government schools in naming their pupils, as to naming Indian
employees to be appointed as policemen, judges, teamsters,
laborers, etc. In looking over the names published in the article
referred to of pupils at the Crow Agency boarding school, Montana,
I really felt in my heart that most of their surnames, translated
from their language into English unexplained, might well be taken
for a menagerie of monstrosities. Think of it—such names for
girls as Olive Young-heifer, Lottie Grandmother's-knife, Kittie
Medicine-tail, Mary Old-jack-rabbit, Lena Old-bear, Louisa Three-wolves, and Ruth Bear-in-the-middle. And then such names for boys
as Walter Young-jack-rabbit, Homer Bull-tongue, Robert Yellow-tail,
Antoine No- hair-on-his-tail, Hugh Ten-bears, Harry White-bear, Levi Yellow-mule, etc. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
