WHY ANIMALS ARE DUMB.
Tradition Current Among the Indians oi
Southern Canada.

Tradition Current Among the Indians of
Southern Canada.
The American Indians. especially
those of the lake regions of southern
Canada, relate curious tradition to ae-
count for the fact that all lower ami
mails are dumb. In very, very early times.
they say, the father of all tribes lived
in beautiful country over against the
rising sun His form was perfect and
his face handsome in the extreme, his
descendants being all superb specimens
of humanity. Knowing of their ac-
complishments and being much given
to f1attering each other they became
very naughty and arrogant. AS a pun
ishment for their bigotry the Great
Father warned the father of the tribes
in dream that a deluge would
be sent to drown them from off
the face of the earth. In the dream
which forewarned the father of
the tribes of the great calamity i'm
pending, there was presented to his Wis
ionary view the form and outlines of
raft, which was to be used ia saving a
remnant of this bigoted people. In
those days all animals talked as men
do; and, when the father of the tribes
informed the beasts of the field of his
dream, aud of his intentions concern
ing the building of the great raft, they
protested, declaring their unwillingness
to accompany him on any such expe-
dition. But the mans superior intelli-
geDce prevailed. He built the raft, and
10. had hardly finished when the great
flood came. The mans family and
pairs of every beast took passage and
floated for many months on the surface
of the deluge The clouds cleared
away on the second day after the en-
barkation and for seventeen sue
cessive moons the man used the
sun as guide, continually steer
ing toward his place of setting.
But the animals, every one of them
(who it win be remembered had the
power of the speech), protested against
sailing to the west, declaring in one
voice that they preferred steering
towards the suns rising-place. These
murmurs had been going on for some
days when, to the infinite Joy of the man,
who had been holding the fort against
this horde of creatures who had the
voices of men and the reason of beasts,
great spots of dry land began TO APP
pear. Finally this rudely-constructed
ark grounded, and the man, his family
and the beasts were again permitted
to press the face of the earth with
their feet. But great and lasting ca
lamity had overtaken the animals. For
their murmurs against the man while
on the water they were deprived of
their power of speech and have re-
manned dumb from that day st.

Pedro was delighted; the engagement
soon concluded.
Nothing could be more graceful or
daring than these young acrobats.
Only Nita, Pedro's daughter, seemed
indifferent to their attractions. Fresh

laughingly said, las she couldn't marry

Then Pedro laid his dilemma before
the brothers. (Which one of you will

A moments silence, followed by deaf

air. Two forms appear on the trapeze.
Their audacity is marvellous Here is
what occurs:
The men face each other, their arms
folded. A light motion of their hips
maintains their equilibrium. Dick
speaks:

"Yes, and you?"

They step back the length of the
trapeze-then rush upon each other
with painting breath--a fearful strug-
gle, the bar bending beneath their
weight--cheer after cheer from the adj
miring crowd.
Suddenly Dick loses his hold, falling
back on the trapeze. Dicks bends over
him.
''Will you give up Nita p

He buries his knife in his compau-
ions throat, the hot blood squirting in
his face.
Raising up, he looks around, but sees
neither the yawning depth below nor

crushed, lifeless mass on a distant
roof, while the dead body of his broth

WHY They Hate Each Other.

Now, Samuel" said his doting
mother ''you are going to see one of
the incest girls tonight you ever met,
and want you TO make a good impress
sion. Now. the way to do that is TO
show appreciation. As some one says,
BE a good listener Now, don't you
forget it"
Il won't. mother" answered the duti-
full Samuel
At another house. the one to which
Samuers feet were tending, loving
aunt was saying to her visiting niece:
Now, if sam comes, don't you rattle
on as If you hadn't any brains. Just
you keep quiet and let him do the
talking. He'll like you all the better
for it."
And to this day those matchmaking
women can't understand why those two
young folks despise each other. Dos

WHEN THE TIDE GOES OUT"
A Legend That Has Received a Strange
YerificatiOn.


yerificatiOn.
"When the tide goes out he will die. "
With the assurance born of long ex-
perience beside deathbeds. the nurse in
somber gray whispered these words 10
a sufferers friends one night in a tene-
ment-housc in Seventeenth street.
The man had been working on the
dock and crane had fallen and struck
him on the head. They bore him away
to his squalid home. The company had
sent doctor and a nurse. but these
were now of small avail.
1t is only legend"
Yes. it is only a legend; but wait and
see.
There was the faint ticking of the
clock. but that was all that broke the
silence of the next few hours.
The night ebbed slowly away
Dawn was almost breaking.
1.-The tide-it is very near the full
now" whispered the patient watcher.
Come closer IL you want TO see him
die"
And the little group in the room moved
closer. And SO, too, he died, died when
the tide went out at break of day; and
out on the bosom of the tide had swept
away, toward great, unlighted sea, q
human soul.
1T is only legend. know" said the
nurse afterward, but | have been he.

Just as Sullivan does in the plav
when he says; Let me think IL was
signal to the rascal at my elbow, and
meant Pat hare here You should
have seen the three jacks ] owned go
into the discard-z-z-z-zi | didn't want
any of it, The pat-hand man noticed
il and saw was on. Make il three?'
inquired, and the two robbers nodded
a weary approval So we three all
laid for one man then. My end came
to sixty dollars.
Eyes; you can cheat at faro bank.
You have to have a box fixed to deal
double and fitted with put back place
Then the cards must be shippers and
sand backs. You can take a pair of
shears, or an expert can make any deck
into shippers 1t is a nice job and
worth just twenty-five dollars to do it.
In cheating at faro bank the dealer
must not only know where every card
is, but unless the case-keeper knows,
too, or if any player is marking a tab
on the game he must be able to put
back the second cards he finds it
he does not put in the two little stacks
which show the cards turned. But
they are dropped in his lap on a hand
kerchief As rule, when a bank is
doing the cheating, there are half
dozen players around the board who
are in on the play. A bank
with sucker to rob will
employ a bevy to SIT around and make
pretended bets with chips lent to them.
They would get five dollars a night
apiece for this pretended playing and
are there to fill up the table and make
a crowd Just like supers at theater
Whenever it is necessary TO put back
cards these outsiders on a pretense OF
placing bets will raise up or stretch
across the lay out between the sucker
and the dealer. That is all the cover a
sharp dealer needs and in go the cards
which ought not to be out. This may
be done two or three times during a
deal. No; no regular room as rule
will turn in to cheat a man. 1t could
not afford TO gain the reputation.
When a sucker is spotted, new room
is hired altogether, and a layout put
in and Mr. Victim is steered against 1t.
When he is skinned, the room CLOSES.
That games mission on earth is ended.
1T takes a good deal of money to
pay the expenses of faro bank. There
is bank in the bottoms where there
are three tables run day and night, be.
sides side games like roulette. takes,
counting dealers, look-outs and all the
rest down to porters, at least forty
men to run this room. Some of them
are high-priced people like the dealers
and look-outs. who get from five to
seven and half dollars a day. seven
days in the week. Even the porter
gets twelve dollars week. Then there
are gas bills, rents and all the expenses
for chips. cards, tables, etc, to say
nothing of blacxmail The whole ex.
pense of running the bank is at least
81, 900 week There is nothing cheap
about faro bank"
