AN INDIAN LEGEND.
How Superstition Led the Pima
Tribe to Give Up POlygamy.
From the Tucson (Ariz) Citizen

From the Tucson (Ariz.) Citizen.
At the time and for centuries after
the advent Of the Pima Indians into this
country they practiced polygamy. and
this will show how a little superstitious
belief will change a custom of centuries.
AS the story goes, a. short time after the
restoration of the Sahuaro (Hass-en),
which has been previously mentioned the
whole tribe was stricken with a strange
disease. 1t was malignant in form, and
many deaths resulted. The great medicine
men and magicians from all parts of the
country were called togete or for counsel,
to see by what means they could propi
tiate Mo-kik-a-num, the death god. The
magiciahs labored long and earnestly, but
still the death god refused to stay his
hand.
It seemed that fasting has had much
TO do in the ritual of the aboriginal. 1
have always noted that when commune
eating their superStitious beliefs, when
they wanted to solicit or petition any
one of their many gods, they always con-
sidered it necessary to fast for a given
period. When they found they could not
subdue the evil death god by magic, the
magicians FASTENED to an open plain and
there tasted for three days. They We're,
drink water carried from the river in
the tanned stomach of an antelope, and
all the time singing their songs to the
sun god (Tas-o-Thann).
Finally, en- the afternoon of the third
day. an immense herd of antelope appear
ed on a low hill not far distant. On their
appearance the chief magician arose and
said to the others: whatever these an
imals do our people must do likewise:
they are spiritual, and have been sent by
the great sun god" While the medicine
men were looking the antelopes paired off
and passed on. AS the last pair disap-
peared the chief magician again spoke.
He said: Return 10 your homes and
shen le5 each man consult WITH ms neigh-
for wife. That will appease and crafty
our sun god. Continue TO prohibit plural

wives, and the death spirit will abide with
us no longer" The people were very re-
luctant to 4break up their polygamish
homes, but, being driven by fear Of DEATH
they consented.
1t is a known fact that the Indians gave
up polygamy long before the Jesuts ar
rived in this country. But the abolition
of the practice has wrongfully been at
tributed to the influence of the Jesuit
fathers.
Strange as it may appear witchcraft
was neither known nor practiced among
the Indians prior to the advent of the
Jesuit fathers. The first martyr to the
witchcraft was an old Indian woman who
lived alone with blind daughter about
ten miles from San Xavier. She was put
to death for stopping the water running
down the Santa Cruz.
A S hort distance from this old woman s
house the water sank. Where the water
disappeared some of the Indians saw the
old woman dig holes in the sand with her
hands. That was sufficient evidence of
witchcraft against her.
She was arraigned, condemned and
burned at the stake. Finally the medicine
men got too assiduous in their hunt after
witches. There were too many human
bontres being made, so the people changed
the proceedings and burned several of
the medicine men,. From that time to the
present day, instead of accusing human
beings of witchcraft, the present genera
ton of Indians accuse and find witches in
animals-dogS, COWS and horses and in
many cases they find witches in mani
mate things, such as stones. rags and
sticks.

with barely enough time for two meals.
He works by the piece, receiving IL cents
a pair for putting a hopeless looking pair
of uppers into salabIe shape. If he is
skilled he can earn Y cents a day and
his board The average cost of repairing
a pair of shoes is cents. The price paid
for them by the dealer seldom exceeds
cents, and they sell for from 90 cents
to $3.50, which leaves a good profit.
Most Of these shoes come from ash heaps,
vacant lots and alleys, and are gotten by
children of poverty-stricken parents and
worthless men who have a decided antlp-
athy for work. The shoes go to the dealer
just as they are found water soaked
and full of mud or ashes.
OF course, the people who patronize sec
ond-hand shoe stores differ. Some are
compelled to buy the shoes by reason OF
poverty; others because they wish to spend
the lesser portion of their monew for
shoes and the greater portion for drink;
The latter are the regular customers and
are easily identified from those who buy
second hand shoes of necessity.
The regular patron descendS the small
squeaky steps leading to the basement
with the same air that he would enter
a first-class store, stopping to examine the
shoes outside the door and in the window.
If he sees a pair that strikes his fancy
he calls the dealer out and asks the price
Of them. No matter what figure is men
toned he is sure to eXclaim: NOT on
your life! What do you think l am? l
amt going to pay the price of new shoes
for a secondhand pair" He usually has a
set price before he goes to buy, and gem
orally succeeds in getting what he wants
for that amount of money.
But the poor worlxingman goes about his
purchase in an entirely different way, for
he is ashamed to be seen going into the
shop. He stops when he gets within few
doors of the place, and pretends to be
looking in a store window. Then when he
convinees himself that there is no one in
sight with whcm he is acquainted he hur-
ries into the place, makes his purchase
and gets out of the neighborhood as quick
ly as possible.
Some good bargains are often struck.
Shoes that cost originally s. or S. and
which have been little worn, are sold for
"a dollar. These have been brought to the
dealer by a representative of the South
Clark street fraternity. who bought them
after a lucky play and sold them for a
mere nothing when he went broke"
again.
1t takes a shrewd purchaser to strike a
bargain with the secondhand shoe dealer,
for he is skilled at his trade and can patch
a pair of shoes so nicely that one would
not know there was ever a break in them.
The patches are put on with paste, and
the first time the shoes are put near a hot
stove the buyer discoV ers that he has got
the worts of the bargain.

MUNICIPAL WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN
KANSAS.
Rv I.anra NJ. Iohns. 81 Knnsas

BY Laura ". Johns. Of Kansas.
The investment of Kansas women with
municipal suffrage has brought to woman
herself all gain and no loss. 1t is here
! demonstrated that we women who vote to
remain in present possession not only of all
our ancient privileges but we have
rights" added thereto. Indeed. extra
/ privilege, and consideration and special
attention are ours i'm consequence of our
acknowledgements when cleo
ton day is at hand.
The home has not suffered any loss by
reason of our women taking part I'm the
election of city officials. The laundering
prejudice which stood out against woman's
acknowledgment on the score of grief to
come 10 home and children thereby, has
been disarmed by the demonstration that
voting is no more Incompatible with wash
ing little faces, sewing ON buttons and
sweeping floors than it is with merchan-
dising. blacksmithins or farming. Wo-
man suffrage i'm actual operation demon
strates that the exercise of the suffrage
by woman does not lessen mother love,
diminish wlfely devotion nor weaken wo-
mans loyalty to home and lbs dearest in
terests
Though women here are eligible TO city
offices on equal terms with men, only Is OF
the nearly 800 mayors chairs have been
occupied by women I'm the ten years Of
their enfranchssment. III women had
held city Offices i'm equal proportion with
men about 1.50O women would have acted
as mayors I'm Kansas during the last de-
cade: but our women have not much de-
sired office and have been elected general
ly for some specific purpose.
When some violation of law has been
endured far past the point Of liberation,
then in at least a dozen cities women
have been put forward 10 perform a SER
vice from which men shrank as likely to
hurt their business" or as being an un-
grateful task. As the business" of wo-
men is mainly safeguarding their child
rem. they do not find tho conducting Of
n city administration according TO the
laws Of decency sobriety and morality
hurtful to their dearest interests. 1t is
therefore that city governments are put
into their hands, and they are known TO
have undertaken the duties Of public
trusts" with a proper sense of the respon-
sibility and TO have performed their work
I'm excellent fashion
Whether women poll their whole vote
or not at every election. the fact that
they are there 20 DO it." prevents the
nomination of any except tho most up
right men, who can be persuaded to ac-
cept the burden OF municipal office.
OF course we have made mistakes I'm
our choice Of men az times. and the re-
suits in such cases were distinctly dis
appointing but we have learned that high
morality must needs DO Joined with ex-
ecutive ability and business experience 10
make an efficient city official. We have
come in contact with those difficulties
which put a representative form Of gov
eminent to the test, and out OF this widen
mig Of our knowledge and experience comes
intenser loyalty and strengthening Of that
patriotism of peace" which is to make
for the salvation of our nation.
