UNWELCOME GUESTS.
A Highly Conventional Social Visit by
Party of Indians.

A Highly Conventional Social Visit by a
Party of Indians.
Some years ago three young men were
camping in the Sierra Nevada mour-
tains, killing deer, fishing and cooking
delectable food One day it happened
that one of them had twisted his ankle,
and the others went hunting without
him. As he could not move about he
was naturally somewhat bored, and aft.
er reading awhile in the shade of tree
be fell asleep. Thus he tells what fol-
lowed.
| woke up with a start and the feel
ing that something was about to hap
pen. Something had happened. Fifteen
Indians sat in half circle about me,
waiting for me to stir.
They had fixed upon me their 10 pairs
of black beady eyes, and not one of
them moved a muscle. All of them had
guns, and, what was more important,
each had presumably two sound legs,
whereas was handicapped by my lame
ness.
looked at them, and they continued
looking at me. A lightning express of
speculation ran through my head. re-
membered that the deputy sheriff of the
nearest settlement had lately shot an
Indian by accident and that the tribe
had sworn to have his scalp. Did | look
like the deputy sheriff? Was it my scalp
they wanted?
Their eyes never wandered, but mine
did, for could not help glancing at my
gun, at least 10 feet away, and at the
spot where big Indian sat composedly
on my cartridges Finally one buck
made remark.
"Fishhook?" said he
"No," said |. "No fishhook z"
Silence again for 10 minutes Then
another indicated by a glance piece of
venison hung up i'll a tree and grunted
his approval of it, | nodded, and he
rose, solemnly took it down and laid it
on the ground beside him.
A little, boyish fellow, with eyes
more restless than those of the others,
removed his gaze from Inc to a greasy
piece of red flannel beside me, with
which one of our men had been clean
ing his gun. | took it up and held it
out to him, and he accepted it with out
ward composure and, have no doubt,
inward rapture. Then we had another
reriod of silent reflection, and they
rose, stalked solemnly away to their
horses tethered in a neighboring grove
and rode off. They had made me a
highly conventional social visit, -

A Chinese Custom,

A quaint custom practiced by Chinese
mothers when child is restless and
does not sleep is to write the following
verse and pin copy Of it ON each of the
four corners Of the house that the pass
ersby may read and the child find rest.
Literally translated the verse reads:
Brilliant sparkling heaven,
Brilliant sparkling earth,
In my house there is a child who cries at night.
The gentlemen coming from the four quarters
behold
Peaceful sleep till break of day.
