WHERE ARE THE OLD MENq
A Question That Agitated q Venerable
Jnhabitant of Maine.

A Question That AgItated q Venerable
Jnhabitant of Maine.
The writer spent pleasant hour not
long ago with a genial Maine gentle
man of more than middle age, and was
rather set back by his pointed question:
what has become of the old men knew
when was boy?" At first thought
this involved a question of futurity. to
answer which required lifting of the
veil between this and the world be-
yond. But he presently explained him
self. when | was fifteen he said,
''an those around me over thirty years
old seemed to be old men, and 1
wondered how I should feel when so
many years had rolled over me. When
[ got to be thirty or forty most every
body was fair and young, and only
those who were sixty or over seemed to
be old. And now that have got to be
sixty everybody is young-just like me
and all those who formerly seemed old
are apparently just about my age.
There are no old folks now; all are
young men to my eyes; and what I
want to know is, what has become of
the old fellows?" This seems to be
universal experience of humankind
We all remember the poem of the old
man who sat on a messy stone by the
roadside, sadly musing," and to the
young miss who asked the cause of his
sorroW-
Angel" said he, sadly, "I am old,
My earthly hope no longer hath morrow"
From this view of himself it becomes
almost matter of certainty that a
70 whom, =,
distant thing, wrote the poem, and
that the alleged feelings of the old man
are purely imaginary, for it was, at
heart, young fellow who must have
sat on the stone.

Terrible SeIf-TOrturo Inflicted by Both
Braves and Squaws.
The Dakota Sioux paint corpse red
across the mouth, the hand black, with
the thumb on one side of the mouth. A
Sioux, says the st. Louis Republic,
never cries with pain and never exhib-
its alarm at death or shows fear of any
kind. The medicine bag is placed on
the heart. There is little or no prepar-
alton for death. The corpse is blanket
ed, boxed and buried with the head to
the south, whence they believe they
originally came. A person who has
been murdered by one of their own
tribe is always buried face down, with
a fat piece of pork or bacon in the
mouth to prevent the spirit of the muir
dered person from soaring the game
from that section. A kettle of food is
sometimes placed at children's graves.
Girls eat the food out Of it at girls
graves and boys at boys.
The scalplock is cut off, hung up in
the lodge and considered keeping the
ghost" Formerly these Indians buried
in tree or on a platform. and burial
in the ground was disgrace They
even sometimes carried the dead
body of person with them on their
journeys. The most cruel mourning is
practiced. The squaws hack themselves
to pieces with stone hints until they
are covered with blood. The braves run
sharpened sticks through their flesh un-
til the scene is fairly sickening. A sim
gle scalp avenges the death and stops
the mourning. While they mourn they
never laugh, wash or comb their hair
They also have what is known as the
ghosts gambol." The Minnataree In
dams, of Dakota, cut off their fingers
for the dead till the whole ground is
strewn with them. They arc invari-
ably buried in green blanket, though
they never wear green when living.
