1.-THE old man had three sons--one named
Mdessun. He is the baby and is very
fierce and cruel. 1t is he who Stays men and
beasts and destroys property. The other
two are kind and gentle They cool the hot
air, revive the parched fields and the crops
and destroy only that which is harmful to
the earth. When you hear low, distant
mutterings, that is the old man. He told
tho girl that as often as spring returned
she must think of him and show that she
was grateful by giving him little smoke.
He then took leave of her and sent her
home, where her family had mourned her
as one dead Since then no Indian has
ever feared thunder" | said, But how
about the lightningg" oh" said the old
woman, lightning is grandfathers wife. +"
At Jackson, in the White mountains, !
met Louis Mitchell, for many years the In
dian member of the Maine legislature, a
Passamaquoddy, and asked him about this
story. He said it was perfectly true, al
though the custom was now falling into
disuse; only the old people kept it up. The
tobacco is cast upon the fire in "A ring and
draws the electricity, which plays above it

fact that no Indian and no Indian property

Dumb Luck.

I saw a case of luck awhile ago that
nearly made me crazy. was in pool
room down in Baltimore, and l was
playing close to the cushion. Nothing
came my way, and had but few dol
lars between me and the touching of
somesfriend for stake. saw little
fellow come in there with So bill and
get out with 81, 400 in cash. l WASH t
next, and I didn't get cent of it. After
it was all over he told us his system,
and it almost made me daffy to think
that any such fool scheme would go
through.
''There were five races that after
noon, and he played them all. He par
leyed his money, and 81, 400 is what he
pulled out. If he'd had good sized
roll when he started, he'd have broken
the room sure, and every other room in
the city, And what do you think his
system was? You couldn't guess in a
thousand years. He placed the seventh
horse in every race. He started at the
top and counted down to the seventh,
and she won. Then in the next race
there were but four horses, and he count
ed one, two, three, four and then start
ed at the top again and counted five,
six, seven. He played that horse and
won. That was his scheme. His pick
won every race. And what do you think
made him do itp His girl told him to-,

There are times when people can
mind another's business too well; but
in this time of general need through
out the county let each person con-
slider himself committee of one to
find out whether his neighbor is in
need, and in what line help can best
be given.
We earnestly desire to reach any
and all in our county who, by recent
and general misfortune, do not fluid
themselves in their usual good cir
cumstances. We shall feel under OBJ
legations to any who will give US the
information necessary to enable us to
render temporary assistance.
