An Interesting Indian Legend.

A curious Indian legend was told
to some people way out in Omaha by
a full blooded Sioux, who lives at
Pine Ridge agency.
He said the belief was that every
time q new moon appeared 1t was
signal for all the mice in the country
to gather themselves together in one
spot. When they assembled they
then separated into four great ar
mics. One army went to the north,
another to the south. a third to the
east and a fourth to the west. These
armies of mice travelled until they
reached the point where, from the
place of starting, the heavens seemed
to touch the earth. Then they
climbed up the sky until they came
to the moon, which b. this time was
what we call full
All of the four armies then COM
menced nibbling at Luna, and when
they had eaten her all up the mice
would scamper back down the
heavens to the earth and wait for her
TO show herself again, when the
journey and the nibbling would be
repeated by the mice; and this IN
what the Indians of early days be-
lieved was the cause Of the mouA.

of William Pitt, earl OF Chatham. in
1878. each of the metropolitan cemeteries
laid claim to the honor of burial. The
city of London argued that so great a

buried in st. Paul's, while parliament
took the ground that the dust of so great
