A Yanktonian Sioux in Love with Yves

Yanktonian Sioux in Love with West
Virginia Damsel.
For a year or more fuu-blood Yanktonian
Sioux Indian has been engaged at the Bureau
of Ethnology translating the myths and sign
language Of his race, and has produced some
interesting and valuable papers, being able
both to read and write the English language
fuently. He was educated at Hampton,
and has been connected with the geological
survey in various mining capacities for
some years. Last summer, writes a Wash
ington correspondent, he became democrat
lied. He was sent to West Virginia for a
few weeks with party from the survey,
and there made the acquaintance Of pale
faced damsel whose attractions seemed to
destroy his mental equilibrium, for he has
not been himself since. Instead Of attend
ing to his studies diligently, as was his prac-
tice before, Bush Otter, for that is his name,
spent much time in looking out Of the VIM
dow in an distracted manner and in writing
letters, of which he destroyed as many as
he mailed. About once in two weeks he
would ask for a few days leave of absence
and would disappear from the Office and his
accustomed haunts, but he always refused
to tell where he was going or where he had
been.
The applications for leave became so fire.
quent that Major Powell was compelled TO
refuse them, but Bush Otter seemed al of a
sudden to be troubled with poor health
Two or three days each week he would re-
main away from the Office and complain up
on his return of having been Ill. It was ac-
cidcntally discovered that when suffering
from these mysterious complaints he inva-
riably went to West Virginia for treatment,
and as he appeared to grow worse instead
of better, and became absolutely unable to
do any work, Major Powell called for his
resignation. Bush Otter wrote out the docyl-
ment without hesitation and seemed glad to
be relieved from official responsibilities SO
that he could spend his whole time in loving
As soon IS he drew the pay due hun he started
for the State Of West Virginia and has not
been seen since. The officers Of the Bureau
of Ethnology are greatly interested in the
case and await the result Of Bush Offers

We heard the blackbirds, nesting, sing

Cadmus, 100, found IN his wander
lngs that a clear and beautiful spring
was rendered unapproachable by the
seven-headed serpent of Mars, and
succeeded in Staying him only after the
monster had devoured or poisoned all the
wanderers companions. And Hercules,
the hero of heroes in whose adventurous
life serpents played so prominent part,
succeeded at last in staying Hydra, the
many headed serpent which, marsh-like,
poisoned the air around the fountain Of
Anymore, and thereby enabled the people
TO receive benefit of Neptunes muniicence.
The dragon which started up to devour
Andromeda was also water-born and sub
ject to the commands of Poseidon, who sent
him to revenge an insult to the oceans
queen. But it was especially in the Morse
tales that the dragon myth attained to its
fullest development Here, from the first,
Sormungander lay in the depths of the
ocean, girdling the middle world, dreaming
as she waited Of the twilight of the gods
when she should STAY and be slain by the
mighty Thor
Slegfried must needs penetrate a black
and treacherous fen when searching for
the ally Of his enemy, the evil smith; he,
however, eventually conquered the dragon
and came away victorious in spite Of the
monsters sickening odor and poisonous ex-
halations. Beowuf slew Gundel, dragon
who made his horne in an adjacent marsh
and nightly devoured the guests who lay in
Hygelad's castle, and Fira Ortnit's treach-
crous father-in-law hade him place the
dragons eggs, which he sent as fair pres
ent, in some damp and narshy place that
the heat Of the sun might hatch them. To
Il h1a
quent upon the ravages of these monsters,
he went out to meet them in mortal combat,
but, falling asleep in the dragons demesne,
was slain by its foul breath. 1t resisted all
attacks upon its rarshy fastness until the
coming of Wolfdieterich, by whom it was
slain.
In the beautiful story Of the lives of Diet
wart and Princess Minnie, the unwary
maiden, who, in the ardor of the chase, had
pursued the wounded stag into the damp
and wooded recesses of the forest, was at
tackled by monstrous serpent, which, after
wounding Dietwart, was at length over
powered by the hero, not, however, without
having by its poisonous breath so inflamed
the wound that, although mere scratch to
all appearances, it required the magic balm
possessed by the princess to heal it. AS
