 THE STORY.
 Several thousand moons ago. Pima tribe were partly annihilatea fsss the anger of a monster, who fell anissfs them from the skies. He carried Ms his right hand an immense balF 8 rigid matter, branded B, which re suppose to have been piece of arl tinguished moon, but as at that tSsae we were, as we are now, at pssca Ssitls pale face men, self-supporting and xss spectful of our treaties With the s::szl Father, we certainly did not desessa such terrible punishment What tlde monster was after, was to be elee8ea our chief in spite our protests. He tribe demonstrated energetically, tell: ing the monster and his dead nl8an that their present chief suited them tn perfection; that they had been harps and prosperous during his last ad1iaiis. istration, and that they were going tE elect him again.
 Up to about two months before tisE election, only fair means having Deer used, their old chief had all chaHc& in his favor. The monster and bb dead moon saw that they were beafeI unless they employed all the trieE. and treacheries generally practicedNs the average politician of these days So they organized battalion of naels composed of the scum of the count ntxss they were called, The Venospoas i ing Brigade,' and each of them, vi wallet we'll filled up was sent all ,' the tribe to pour venom on tue vets able head of their old chief 2 tA es suit was that some Indians le ul waver in their opinions, others s-rsssfsN ed it for blue beads and necklaoes The monster and his dead moon wsz2 so far as to make preses.ss to ss squaws, such as poodle-dogs and sz ters, in order to gain thejr moral ssz port. Tradition has it that e. women, whose lips should not be s ed by falsehood, were sent all dpe the tribe to tell lies about theeid ch&i Finally the day of the election eans. the old honest chief was cast ass and the monster and his dead nooE had the tribe enslaved.
 Under the managementre of < sshssir- q chief, the Pimas were a happy an well to do tribe, their rafs1ries wer always chuck full of bariaW. Wheat an mesquite beans. Theik horses wei fat; their squaws sleek and smiling but so soon as the monster commence to boss the job, that condition of affair ] hapgad as in a ,nannrama All tn 5x-members of The Venomous Twin, ASe}3gade, were distributed all oyer tn, ->tFlse to hold minor offices as a reward l for the infamous work they had per f11Tafeeed1 before the election. 199 1fr levied on tribe, taxes upon taxes, an ! committed all kinds of depreciation and after fifty moons or so of tn; regime, they were all fat as hogs all the Pimas as lean as spring board Their term expiring, the Pimas toe back their old chief and have bee happy ever since."
 tWhy did not they revolt?" I aske
 Because, as I told you before, the l were law-abiding Indians"
 'Well, what are you going to eel [ brate to-day?" I asked
 "This moon is the 3G00th since u day of the return of the Pima tribe
 liberty, and we are going to have 7 great tfme over it."
 "WhRt became of the monster al , his hen6hmen?"
