WHY aRUTEs ARE DUMB
Curious Tradition Of the Lake Region
Indians of South Canada.


The American Indians. especially
those of the lake regions of Southern
Canada, relate a curious tradition to
account for the fact that all lower
animals are dumb. says the St Louis
Republic. In very. very early times.
they say, the father of all tribes lived
in a beautiful country over against the
rising sun. His form was perfect and
his face handsome in the extreme mis-
descendants being all superb speci-
mems of humanity. Knowing of their
accomplishments and being much
given to iattering each other, they
became very naughty and arrogant.
AS a punishment for their bigotry
the Great Father warned the father
of the tribes IN dream that deluge
would be sent to drown them from of
which forewarned the father of the
tribes OF the great calamity inpend
ing there was presented to his vision
airy view the form and outlines of q
raft which was to be used in saving
a remnant of his bigoted people.
In those days all animals talked as
men do; and when tine father of the
tribes informed the beasts OF the field
of his dream, and of his intentions con-
corning the building of great raft,
they protested. declaring their unwill-
ingness to accompany him on any
such expedition. But the mans SUI
perior intelligen ce prevailed. He
built the raft and 10! had hardly fin
ished when the great flood came. The
mans family and pairs of every beast
took passage and foated for many
months on the surface OF the deluge.
The clouds cleared away on the second
day after the embarkation. and for
seventeen successive moons the man
used the sun as a guide. continually
steering toward his place of setting.
But the animals. every one of them
(who it will be remembered, had the
power OF specify. protested against
sailing to the west declaring in
one voice that they preferred steering
towards the SUMS rising place. These
murmurs had been going on for some
days when to the infinite JOY of the

gan to appear Finally this rudely
constructed ark grounded. and the
man and his family and the beasts
were again permitted to press the face

taken the animals. For their MUIR

water they were deprived Of their pow

AN ANCIENT DOLL.
IT HAS BEEN A PET FOR
FOUR GENERATIONS.
A Relic Of tho Days Of the Revolution
Discovered In Boston-After Over a
Hundred Years of Service Patty IL
Severely Disfgured.

In the early years of the revolution
Boston merchant who, like many
others, was greatly disturbed IN MS
business and domestic relations, rather
than have his family undergo the pri-
vations to which they might be sub
iected, removed them to place which
he hoped would be free from warlilte
scenes. They set up home in Andover
and became the parishioners OF Kew
Jonathan Freuch, the famous minister
of that name.
The cordial welcome extended by the
minister and his family to those who
had fled from the troubles of Boston
led the merchant to do something as
mark of appreciation. He had seen IN
London some remarkable specimens OF
carved wood in dolls, and he resolved
to import two of these limitations of
human life whenever relations with
the mother country would admit.
This he did in 17st importing the
first dolls ever brought to this country.
The two were exactly alike and were
called the twins. One of them was for
the daughter of the importer and the
other for the daughter of the Andover
minister.
These two dolls were regarded as
rare specimens of art, and the children
who were so fortunate as to possess
them were the envied of the com
munity.
When the war had ceased, indepen-
dence had been acknowledged and
affairs in Boston assumed their wonted
condition., the merchant went back to
his old home and the intimate relations
of the families ceased to exist The
doll that had been kept in the mer-
chants family was lost sight of. 1t
was doubtless destroyed more than
century ago.
But not so with Patty, the pet of the
parsonage. Abigail French, the minis
ter slaughter, was born on the last day
of May, 1776. She was years of age
when she received this treasure.
Mrs. French did not fail to use the
London doll as means of teaching
lasting object lessons. She insisted
upon it's being carefully tended and
thoughtfully and affectionately spoken
to. In Abigail's treatment of the doll
the mother saw reflected her own man
agement of the children of that old
parsonage.
In 1895 Abigail French became the
wife of the Rev. Samuel Stearns, a
young man who had studied theology
under the direction of her father: from
being the daughter of one parsonage
she became the mistress of another.

which are still in existence, she accom-
