From the San Fran cisco Call.
When girl reaches womanhood and her
family desire to indicate to the tribe that
their daughter has reached the manageable
period she makes her debut as you say in
English, but the Piute girl comes out in an
entirely different way from that adopted by
her white sister. Just before she reaches
womanhood her grandmother has especial
charge Of her. To that old lady, whose years
are supposed to have brought wisdom, the
girl is given. She schools her in domestic
duties and explains to her the nature and
importance of the wifely relation. The girl
then goes with two older female relatives to
tcepee, which Is small wigwam, where she
remains with them twenty-five days. Dur
ing this time she performs work which is
supposed TO be strengthening. 1t consists
chiefly Of piling wood. Three times day, at
morning, noon and night, she stacks five
piles Of wood, making fifteen each day. Ev-
cry FIVE days her relations take her 10 the river
10 battle, and at the end Of the time she gives
her clothing to her attendants and returns to
the family lodge. Very frequently the ward
robe which she presents her female atten-
dants is quite extensive, and is regarded by
them as valuable present. When the young
girl has spent twenty-five days in the teepee
she has made her debut into the society Of
her tribe, and that is consideredes public
announcement that she is ready TO marry.

Weaving them into work-a-day life,
Beautiful threads Of gold
A thread of Joy, with strand Of strife,
And yet, the hands that hold
May fashion them out into patterns rare,
Designs of beauty, new and fair,
Till the Master-Weaver finds them there
In beautiful threads of gold.
Weaving them in with patient hand,
Beautiful threads of gold!
Filling them in as the Artist planned
When He laid life's sombre fold.
Weaving them in with the homeliest cares,
Over some burden another bears,
Glad that the Master Weaver spares
Some beautiful threads of gold.
Weaving them in with hopes and fears,
Beautiful threads of gold!
Brighter the gold of the thread appears,
AS the web of life grows old.
Weaving them in with smile and song,
Wonderful threads so fine and strong,
Under the good and over the wrong
Weave beautiful threads of gold.
Weaving them in with watchful eye,
Beautiful threads of gold!
To shine across where the shadows lie,
When the web is all unrolled.
Weaving them IN when the Masters call
Lets the bright threads break, and the shuttl
fall,
And angels come down to gather them all,

used to visit the neighboring towns

and being beaten. The members of
the Excelsiors club--all amateur
clubs are called either 'Excelsiors' or
Union-were proud Of their record,
proud of their uniform, proud of
their village, and their village was
proud of them. Indeed, l think
that when one of our number had
put on his white flannels and color
ed stockings and star-bedecked cap
and had slung a bat carelessly over
his shoulders, what with the ad-
miring glances of the women and
audible enthusiasm Of the awe-smlt-
ten small boys, the heart that throbbed
under the big E on his breast throb-
bed so proudly that he would not
have exchanged his position-say at
