Plume Symbols.

Feathers figure very prominently In the
religious customs of most aborigines, and
remarkably so in the Southwest. Among
Navajos and Pueblos alike these plume.
symbols are of the utmost efficacy fol
good or bad. They are part of almost
every ceremonial of the infinite supersti-
tons of these tribes. Any white or bright
hued plume is Of good omen-"good
medicine" as the Indian would put it.
The gay feathers of the parrot are partic.
ulary valuable, and some dances cannot
be held without them, though the Indians
have to travel hundreds of miles into Mex.
leo to get them. A peacock is harder to
keep in the vicinity of Indians than the
finest horse-those brilliant plumes are
too tempting.
Eagle feathers are of sovereign value
and in most Of the pueblos great, dark,
captive eagles are kept to furnish the Gov
eted articles for most important occasions
If the bird Of freedom were suddenly ex-
terminated nov the whole Indian econo-
my would come to standstill. No witch.
es could be exercised nor sickness cured
nor much of anything else accomplished
Dark feathers, and those in particular'o1
the owl, buszard, woodpecker and raven
are unspcakbly accursed. No one will
touch them except those who shave the
evil road"-that il, are witches and any
Indian found with them in his or her pos.
session would be officially tried and Off.
cially put to death. Such feathers are
used only in secret by those who wish ia
kill or harm an enemy, in whose path
they are laid with wicked wishes that i'll
fortune may tollow.-C. F. Lummis in ST.
Nicholas.

The Arizona Kicker,

GONE HoME.-As will he seen by an
obituary notice published elsewhere in
this Issue, Major Dayton, one of our old
pioneers, has passed from earth away.
Whisky killed him. though you would
never suspect it from reading the obituary
He played square game of poker, but as
an offset was quarrelsome, incorporate
and given to promiscuous shooting. We
can't say that we mourn his demise, OF
that he will gain anything by the change
to another climate. He was the first man
in this town to shoot US, and was about
the only one we ever fired at who didn't
drop when the gun went of. Only two
days before he was taken sick be sent US
word that he was camped on our trail and
would split our other ear with bullet.
In the midst of life we are in death.
We SHALL, OF CoURsE.-Our contem.
porary is out with the suggestion that the
coming Fourth of July be eb:ated in
old fashioned style, and wants to know
if the Governor can't be induced to come
here and deliver the grafton. We don't
think he can. We think he has more
sense than to entertain such thought
If there is any celebration we shall, as
Mayor of the town, be in it. We shall
lead it. We shall deliver the Grafton
lead the procession and probably boss
the fireworks In the evening. There is nc
salary attached to our Office. We were
elected for the honor there is in it, and
propose to squeeze the old machine per.
fectly dry. There may be some Mayors
in this territory who are satisfied with
the title, but we want everything connec
ted with it. If our contemporary cir
culatlon 480-wants to be the means OF
getting somebody shot, let him encourage
his idea as set forth above.

To the Poorhouse.

The old creature sat shivering over the
FIRE. Full 20 were her years. Her hair
was white, her form bent and her face
scanned and wrinkled with the cares and
passions of life.: She was holding out her
stiffened fingers to the bed OF Goals when
the door opened and her son entered, fol-
lowed BY q strange man who stamped
snow from his heavy boots.
"Maw," said her son, "wc'rc go'n' to

The old creature stumbled to her feet
with look Of terror.

guided the old woman's footsteps.

closed, ''it's done-but woman, hell is too

A Strange Story Of Johnstown.

AT the time OF the YOUNGSTOWN horror
James Agnew was in the employ of the
Cambria Iron Works, which were de
stroyed by the food. Just below the ill.
fated town lived Agnew and his wife
Elizabeth and three children. Mrs. Ag.
new and her children we're among the
human waves cast up by the food home
less and hopeless. They were taken by
kind people from their house of refuge
and cared for, but Mrs. Agnew would as
soon have died except for her children,
for with the wreck of the Cambria Iron
Works her husband was lost, and, though
she searched as far as she could down the
river, the cruel waters refused to give up
his dead body. She was widowed and
beggared, one of the many.
She was sinking in despair, when there
came letter from this city. It was from
her brother, John Pritchard, we'll
known machinist at the Louisville and
Nashville shops. He babe his sister come
home to him, and her mother sent her
the means to come. Here she lived qui-
city, grieving for her lost husband, while
her little ones, with the happy forgetful-
ness of childhood, found in Uncle Jack
another father. For long time things
went on quietly, and the poignant first
grief melted into the later sorrow Of Wild
owhood. One day not long ago letter
carrier stopped at the Pritchard house.
The letter bore the stamp of Allentown,
Pa. With nervous fingers Mrs. Agnew
opened it. She read it partly, then great
JOY came upon her, for her husband was
alive. When the destroying waters swept
over the works Agnew was swept away in
the wreck. down the river he fIoated
and thoght he was lost.
Darkness and the agony of death settled
upon him, and he knew no more for q
time. When he recovered kind hands
were lifting him from tangle of wreck
age and dead bodies, and he was carried
to Red Cross tent. There he lay many
days unconscious, shattered in mind and
body. AT last the Pickering fame of life
began to burn mole briskly. Reason
came back and the bruised body re2ained
strength. Then he inquired after his wife
and children, and for the first time learn
ed the extent Of the disaster. He lived

because hecould not helpit. For long
time he went on thus; then, through the
inquiries of good priest, it was learned
that the Pritchards lived in Louisville, and
with them the lost wife and children
James Agnew and Elizabeth Agnew are
reunited, but they will never forget the
Johnstown horror.-Louisville Dispatch
