WHY INDIANS PAINT.

An Apache Legend that Accounts for
n Strange Custom of the Red Men.
why do Indians paint their faces?'
! have asked that question of hundreds
of red men. and have received but one
answer. OF all the tribes that l have
visited but n has a legend accounting
for the hideous decorations that are to
be seen on the faces Of Indians under
all ceremonial circumstances. l was sit
ting at a camp fire in a village of Jaca-
rilla Apaches one night listening to the
stories and legends that were being told,
when | p~ropounded the old question
again. hardly expecting even the usual
expression of ignorance that hides so
many of the thoughts of the Indians.
To my surprise. however, l received
the answer that least expected. An old
fellow who sat all the evening listening
to the stories without changing his at
titude grunted and Strengthened up as
he heard the question. Proceeding with
all due solemnity, he told the following
legend: Long ago, when men were
weak and animals were big and strong,
a chief of the red men who live in the
mountains went out to get a deer. for
his people were hungry. After walking
all day he saw a deer and shot at it,
but the arrow was turned aside and
wounded a mountain lion, which was
also after the deer. When the lion felt
the sting of the arrow he jumped up
and bounded after the man. who ran
for his life. lie was almost exhausted.
and, when he felt his strength giving
way. he fell TO the ground, calling on
the big bear. who, you know. is the
grandfather Of men, 10 save him. The
big bear heard the cali and saw hat
To save the mar he had to act quickly.
so he scratched his foot and s%prinkled
his blood over the man. Now. you know,
40 animal will eat Of the rear or taste
of his blood. So when the lion reached
the man he smelled the blood and
turned away, but as he did so he
scraped the face Of the man. leaving
the marks of his claws on the bloody
face. When the man found hat he was
uninjured he was SO thankful that he
left the Hood dry on his face and never
washed it at all. hut left il until it
peeled eff. Where the claws of the lion
scraped it Oft there were marks that
turned brown in the SUM-, and where
the blood stayed ON it was lighter. You
know. all men paint their faces that
way with blood and scrape it off in
streaks when they hunt or go TO war"

NOT So BAD AFTER ALL.
The Attitude .: Brooklyn Bicycle Rid
ers Toward Barnum,s Tent.

The Attitude o: brooklyn Bicycle Rid
ers Toward Barnum,s Tent.
The Barnum circus pitched its tents
in Brooklyn on Monday last, an opera
ton that brought h usual joy to hun
dreds Of small boys. but for the first
time since the circus has coupled the
plot Of ground at HaIsev
street and Saratoga avenue
the advance arrival Of the tents
was not welcome to many older per-
sons. These were beginners in bicycle
riding. says the New York sun. The
oval track where the horses and char
lets race and where the big fanfare of
the circus takes place is an admirable
place for bicycle riders to take their
first open-air practice. There are no
smooth streets in that neighborhood,
and every day a dozen or more bicyclers
may be seen spinning around in the va
cant lot which has been made smooth
By the circus from year TO year. on
Sundays the place has been almost
rowded at times with these beginners
on the wheel. The ground is not only
smooth, but is dry. and falls on that
kind of dirt amount to almost nothing.
Day n night the practice has gone
on, until the bicyclers began to feel
that they owned the place. On Monday
morning last all this was changed. The
big tent went up before noon. and the
bicycle riders who came around simply
stared and did their best to conceal
their resentment. They admitted. of
course. that there must be a circus once
a year. hut they didn't hesitate to say
also that they saw no necessity for
bringing the tents over a week in adj
vance. 1t was bad enough to be shut
out Of the lot during circus week, and
in their prejudice they saw no necessity
for similar treatment for a whole week
before n performances began. Some
Of the brighter riders, however. learned
a thing or two. They found that the
man in charge of the tents wasn't very
hard-hearted, and if the applicants
weren't too numerous they got in and
had the advantage OF riding around
the circus va under canvas. They were
not only sheltered from the wind, out
they We're not subjected TO the jibes
of the spectators. Those who didn't try
to get inside the tent took TO the rough
streets n gained a new experience.
The advent OF the circus. therefore, was
not such a bad thing after all.

A Vocation That is Generally Busy During
Certain Season of the Year.
In Eastern Oregon during the sum-
mer season sheep-shearers are in con-
slant demand, and they find employ
ment at good prices. According to the
condition of the fleece they receive
from five to eight cents head for
shearing sheep, and the average OF
good shearers will range from 80 to 125
head during a working day. which
ranges from early light in the morning
to twilight in the evening. Good wages
are made; but the season does not con-
tinue over two or three months in the
year. They generally divide them:
selves into crews and elect q forman.
He keeps tally of the work done, and
in the evening gives to each man an
account of his earnings. These crews
consist of ten or dozen men each, and
they Journey from one band to another,
taking with them their blankets. Ac-
companying each crew is a wool
sacker, whose duty it is to put the
fleeces together in bags. At present
there are several of these bands OF
sheep-shearers working in this county,
and as evidence of the product OF their
labor may be seen the long line of wool
wagons coming into the city daily.

An Army of Crickets.
The La Grande Chronicle says:


Railroad Commissioner Eddy, who
returned from Huntington today, says
that some of the farmers along Burnt
river have been visited by pest and
others are fearful lest the invaders shall
denude their gardens. About Friday
of last week the vanguard of an army
of crickets appeared on the banks of
the river, about five miles east of
Huntington. They came from the
west and were journeying east. On
reaching the river the leaders plunged
boldly in and the rank and file fol-
lowed. Millions foated down and
were drowned, ana millions more
reached the opposite bank and pro-
eeeded on in an easter1y direction.
Every rock and stick in the stream be-
low the point where the crickets took
the water for hundreds of yards is liter
ally covered with the insects. Where
bridges cross they climb up the posts.
over the bridge and on. Every garden
that happens in the way is left bare of
verdure. They follow the corn stalks
and eat them an inch or so below the
surface.
