THE KICKED STICK.
An Exciting Game Played by the Zuni
Indians.

An Exciting Game Played by the Zuni
All is now ready; each rider has his
eye on his favorite side, an old priest
rides in advance and sprinkles sacred
meal over the course, the starters kick
the sticks, and the widest excitement
prevails. As each racer left his home
he put into his mouth two shell beads
the one he drops as sacrifice as he
starts, the other when he has covered
about one-half the course. The stick
is tossed rather than kicked. and
good racer will toss it from eighty to
one hundred feet. Over the heads Of
the runners it goes and falls beyond
the first man. He simply points to
where it lights, and runs on. The next
man tries to kick it, but should he fail
to get under it he goes on, and the next
man takes it. The race is not to the
swift alone, although this has much to
do with it, The stick can in no case be
touched with anything but the foot,
and should it fall into a cactus bush, a
prairie dog hole or an arroyo, much
valuable time is lost in getting it out
Not infrequently it happens that one
side will be several miles in advance Of
the other when the stick falls into
some mnoticed hole. The wild and
frenzied yelling which takes place as
those who were behind come up and
pass can only be imagined and not de-
scribed. SO skill in tossing it plays a
prominent part. On, on they go to the
southern hills, east to Ta-ai-yal-lo-ne,
north to the mesas, follow these west
for miles, then to the southern hills
and back again to the starting point.
The distance traversed is nearly twenty
five miles, and they pass over it in
about two hours. Racing is indulged
in by the excited horsemen as they ap-
proach the goal, and it is not unusual to
see a pony drop over dead from exhaus-
ton as they near the village.-J. &.

to do so well as this athlete probably did.
for he will not have the science, but this
quality will come with practice The
novice need not hold his hands SO far
apart as this one, but they should be at
least two feet apart

his chest TO il He has turned completely
around. and there is probably no fear of
the bar being displaced unless his arms
should accidentally hit it. 1t will be no
ticed that his legs are thrown high in the

well. and although it would be impossible
for beginner to 60 through the same

The pole has been let go of and thrown a

In 1867 she came to America, playing
wholly in German. During the season oil

again. bat this time she spoke in English
No better evidence of the indomitable viii

since that time she has been almost con-

known through her work as Medea, Lady
Macbeth. Marie Stuart aud Meg Merrllies
AS Meg Merrilies she doubtless found the
greatest triumph OF her art. She played

and subtlety that put it among the granu-
est performances in the history OF the
American stage. Through the majesty oil
the lettering queen in tatters there shone a

undoubtedly have devoted her life had she
not fallen one day with glass in her hand.
Her fingers were 90 badly injured that for
a long time she was unable to play at all.
She then took up the training Of her

A PORTRAIT OF NINE. JANAUsCHEK-
Less than quarter of a century ago she
Was acknowledged to be what Bernhardt
Ia today-Uhe greatest actress in the world.
Tie story OF her triumphs would fill vol
urne. Kings and queens have shouted en-
cores and showered jewels at her feet In
tribute to her power. She has scaled the
very peak of fame. and known her name TO
be magic word in many lands. Thou
sands have wept or laughed or shuddered
with a nameless dread if she but waved

work will live She will not be forgotten

of Cushman, of Rachel, of Siddons, one

francesca Romano Magdalena Janau-
schek was born July 20, 1887, at Prague,
Bohemia. The romance Of her life cannot
be told The main points OF its public SIDE
alone are known, but the glare OF loot
lights which has illuminated for the world
the artist has never quite obscured the wo-
man At the time of her greatest successes,
when high and low did homage TO her, and
thunders of applause would have seemed
most likely to drown all lighter sounds,
the tiniest cry for aid was sure to reach ner
.ars. She has been always ready and al
ways happy TO forget her own greatness In
bending low TO help another less fortunate
than herself But of this side of her char
acter she has never spoken. She is content
to let the public judge her by her work
upon the stage
This began at Prague when she was SIX
teen years old. Before she bad reached her
eighteenth year, so rapid was her advance
ment that she was given leading roles in
the Stadt theater at Frankfort. For eleven
years she remained in that position, but
when her twenty-ninth birthday came it

the buffet of single wave, is provocative
of nervous shndders When the weather Is
stormy. and preposterously disproportion'
ate sail is spread. the shudder becomes a
thrill of horror Yet the lovers OF this
sport seem more infatuated than the devo-
tees OF any other form OF adventurous
amusement with their special pursuit
Within the past ten or twelve years the
sport has grown in public favor, and where
as there were not dozen canoe CLUBS
in the country in 1880, there are now more
than 1870, with total membership OF some
thing like 1000
II is impossible to resist the belief that
considerable part Of the fascination OF the
sport lies in the danger, and yet there are
comparatively few serious accidents re
corded. and every year witnesses large ac
cessions TO the ranks OF the canoeists
Probably one cause of the rarity OF accl-
dents is that only skilled athletes are like
ly 10 be attracted. and another is that the
canoe is not as dangerous thing as II
seems 10 be With club membership OF
about 4.0On it is probable that the devotees
of the sport are at least double that num-
Der. and the present season, now just be-
ginning is kely to see the number large
~ increased
The i3O clubs mentioned are scattered all
over the United States and Canada AL
most everywhere where good sheet OF

found tho canoests are TO be found. VI
the clubs twenty-three are in New YORK

number in Massachusetts, nineteen are In

everywhere from Maine TO California, one

say iuvidious to pick out individual clubs
from this number for special mention, but
