GETTING EAGLE FEATHERS.
Strange Customs of the Blackfeet In
dians-supe rstitiOus Rites.

Strange Customs of the Biackfeet In
dians-superstitIO Rites.
William shultz, in Forest and Stream,
gives picture Of the superstitions of the
Blackfeet Indians OF North America in
regard to procuring eagle plumes for per-
sonal decoration. He says: "a few
lodges Of people in need of eagle feathers
would leave the camp and move up close
to the foothills, where eagles are gener-
ally more frequent than out on the prairie.
Having arrived at a good locality, each
man selects n little knoll or hill, and with
a stone knife and such other rude imple
ments as he possessed dug a pit in the top
Of it large enough for him to lie in.
Within arms length of the mouth
of the pit ne securely pegged wolf-skn
to the ground, which had previously been
stuffed with grass to make it look as life
like as possible. Then cutting slit in
its side, he inserted large piece of tough
bull meat, and daubed the hair about the
slit with blood and liver. In the evening,
when all had returned TO camp, an eagle
dance was held, in which every one par
ticipated. Eagle songs were sung, Whis-
ties made of eagle-wing bones were blown,.
and the ''medicine men" prayed earnestly
for success. The next morning the men
arose before daylight and smoked two
pipes to the sun. Then each one
told his wives and all the women
Of the family not to go out or
look out of the lodge until he returned, and
not to use an awl or needle at any kind of
work, for if they did the eagles would
surely scratch him, but TO sing the eagle
songs and pray for his good success.
Then, without eating anything, each man
took human skull and repaired to his
pit. Placing the skull in one end of it, he
carefully covered the mouth over with
slender willows and grass, and lying
down. pilowed his head ON the skull
and awaited for the eagles to come.
With the rising of the sun came
all the little birds, the good-for-
nothing birds, the crows, ravens
and hawks; but with a long, sharp-point-
ed stick the watcher deity poked them
off the wolf skin. The ravens were most
persistent in trying to perch on the skin,
and every time they were poked of they
would loudly cr0ak. Whenever an eagle
was coming the watch would know IL,
for all the little birds would fly away,
and shortly an eagle would come down
with a rush and light on the ground.
Often it would sit on the ground for
long time, preenlng its teath-
ers and looking about. Dur
ing this time the watcher was earnestly
praying to the skull and the sun to give
him power to capture the eagle, and all
the time his heart was beating so loudly
that he thought the bird would surely
hear 1T. At last. when the eagle had
perched on the wolf skin and was busily
plucking at the tough bull meat, the
watcher would cautiously stretch out his
hands, and grasping the bird firmly by
the feet, quickly bear it down into the
grave, where he crushed its breast with
his knee"

A TALENTED TARHEEL.
How Buck" Kitchen Turned Revenue
Collector

/ saw "Buck" Kitchen. of North Caro-
spondent of the Chicago Netos. He was in
Congress for one term six years ago. He
is six feet two il height, and to-day was
dressed in a broadclOth suit, but wore no
collar. Two negroes were nominated for
Congress when he ran, and he was able TO
secure the election because of the quarrel.
He stumped his district in his shirt
sleeves and one suspender, and often
stood before constituents without his
shoes. There was an internal revenue
collector in the district who said Kitchen
should not he elected. He had
previously killed two Democratic
candidates, and before seeing Buck
made the threat that he would Kill third
one. When Kitchen went to the place
where the internal revenue collector re-
sided, he carried a revolver. 1t Is the
practice in North Carolina for opposing
candidates to stump their district to-
eether. Kitchen and one of the negro
Congressional aspirants went TO the col
lector's town. He was present and In the
audience when the speaking began. Inc
negro spoke an hour or longer unmOlesGed.
When he had finished, Kitchen arose. He
had spoken but about five minutes when
the collector stood in his seat and said the
speaker must stop.
'I've been expecting this" replied
Kitchen. SIN fact. before | came | was
told that you would interrupt me. Now
| want you to come up here and let me
explain my speech TO you; and L want TO
explain it so that the people can hear my
side of the story"
The collector started toward the stand,
and as he did so Kitchen thrust his hand
into his pocket and cooked his re-
vOver. As the former began as
cending the steps of the stand the
latter said: "Stopl l want TO explain
I'll tell YOU my speech, and | want all TO
hear. I'll tell you YOU are the d--st
thief in this State. For years you have
been robbing these people that are gath
cred here today" The collector began
moving. "DOn't you stir" shouted
Kitchen. "IfyOu do I'll blow your ---

bullying, and don't want to be compelled
to listen 10 il again. Now it's just ten
minutes until train time. There is the
railroad. II you are not out OF town when
the train leaves Pll kill YOU"
The collector, like a eur with his tail
between his legs, turned and started
away. Once ne looked back. hut Kitchen
motioned him TO keep ON movin'" He
left the town and went 10 Raleigh, and
didn't meet the Democratic candidate
again during the election. Kitchen was
elected and remained in Congress but
one term. asked him to-day what he
was after on this visit. sour folks are

story OF meeting African savages:
