Then came the green-corn dance. The
was turned lengthwise with the room,
and the three Indians who sat upon it
not only shook their mud turtle rattles,
but also pounded with them upon the
bench. They sang wilder song, but
Chief La Fort said that there was no
meaning to it-just mere words, which
fitted the wild tune. The gyrations of
the dancers were about the same as in
| the previous dance. Toward the end
of the dance the Indian women joined
in, but they were rather undemonstra-
| tive as compared with their swarthy,
gaudy male companions. The squaws
| were not in costume.
| Then came what was announced as
an "all women Dance" The men sat
on two benches facing one another, and
sang and pounded with their crude mu-
steal instruments, while the women
keeping shoulder to shoulder, danced
with sort of hitching motion around

for this dance comes the nearest tc

JESSE JAMES SON.

How He Got Work from the Son Of tho
Man Who Procured His Fathers Death.
Ex-Gov. Thomas 7. Crittenden of
Missouri was recently asked if the story
was true that he had, employed in his
Office Jesse James, Jr., whose father, the
outlaw, was killed through Mr.: Critten-
den's instrumentality. The ex-goyer-
nor replied: IF were to build a
monument of denials as high as that
erected to Washington at the capital,
| don't suppose I could effectually stop
the continued existence Of this story.
The facts in the case are that several
years ago my son, Thomas T. Critten-
den, Jr., then a real estate dealer in
Kansas City and now county clerk Of
Jackson county, in which Kansas City
Is located, advertised for boy to work
in his Office. On the morning following
the advertisement number of boys
were on hand and my son resorted to
kind Of civil service examination to
test their merits. The boy whose pa
pers were best was called forward and
asked his name.
-. MY name is Jesse James, JI., he
replied.
my son was more than amazed, and
said:
Do you know who I amp
Yes, sir; you are Gov. Crittenden's
son.
"'Well, then, you go home and tell
your mother all about this, and if she is
willing for you to work for me and at
the wages l offer, come back tomorrow
morning. ~
very we'll, sirs I have got to help
my mother and sister. and I'll be
back
q" And back he was the next morning.
At this time Mrs. Jesse James was liv-
ing in the suburbs of Kansas City, Now
let me tell you what became of this
boy. He remained with my son for sew
eral years, being honest and faithful TO
a degree. Then my son secured him
a place in Armour's packing house in
Kansas City, where he is now employed
respected by every one eand having a
number of men under him. And he is
! but 20 years Of age. This is the whole
story"

Jumping Cocoons.

Very remarkable are the dumping
cocoons,' recently described by DR..
Sharp in the Entomologist, and found
in South Africa. The cocoon is formed
by the mother insect, and is very hard.
The pupa, when ready to emerge, must
cut it's way out. The front of it's head
has "a sharp chisel edge," and by driv-
ing this against the inside Of the she'll
it gradually makes a hole. The violent
motions of the pupa within cause the
cocoon to leap so that one has been
seen to spring out Of a small glass
tumbler. f. ,.... ~.

Hardness and Climate.

In the northern section of the United
States careful attention should be given
the selection of breeds, says Poultry
Keeper. 1t should not matter to the
farmer whether some particular breed
may lay few more eggs during the
year than another as his object should
be to keep only those that are hardy
and able to stand the cold winters. In
making a selection, the proper course
to pursue is to visit the yards Of those
who have fowls that have given good
results in his section, and in purchas-
ing stock aim to select the most vigor-
GUS. Breeds that have small combs
and which are heavily feathered should
thrive better in winter than will 9TH
ers, but such breeds should have also
been bred for vigor. It is of no ad-
vantage to buy special prize-winners
when the awards have been for special
points in the showroom, but the birds
should be pure Bred however, having
stout limbs, deep breasts and eyes in
dicating health. 1t is the hen that lays
every week in the year, except when
Matching chicks or undergoing the
process of moulting, that pays the
most, but such hens can only be had
by careful selection and due considera-
ton given climatic conditions and
proper management. =

The Story of
 Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., IT. D., who for thirty-two years was at the head of Dartmouth Medical College, belonged to the famous Crosby family of physicians, which for several gener- ations has furnished more distin- guished medical men than any other family in America. His father was Dr. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who procured the charter of the State medical society, of which he was for thirty years conspicuous member; one brother, Dr. Josiah Crosby, in- vented tho invalid bed and themethod of making extensions of fractured limbs by adhesive strips; another brother, Dr. Thos. R. Crosby, was chief surgeon in Columbian College Hospital during the war, and later professor of animal and vegetable physiology at Dartmouth College; while Dr. Dixi Crosby himself was the inventor and discoverer of various important improvements in medicine and surgery, including new and unique mode of reducing rnetacarpo- phalangeal dislocation, opening of ab. oSSSo uo hAP- yoiAlps ClO., ScSs
 At the early age of twenty-four his extraordinary skill and success in over. coming disease had already attracted the attention of medical men through out the world, and won for him the highest honors. His greatest achieve ment was the discovery of an original method for perfeoting and compound ing in permanent form what has be- come known as his prize formula" !" and which, under the name of Pnri- tana, is legally protected.
 The foundation of this remarkable medical discovery consists of simple New England roots and herbs, and the original family recipe for 1t has de- scended to the long line of Crosby physicians from their Puritan ances- tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost tion rendered it necessary to brew it whenever needed in the early days of Its history, and after the scattering of the Puritan families to remote locali- ties, where the necessary ingredients were not to be found, many attempts were made to put it up in permanent form, all of which failed until Dr. DiIi Crosby discovered means and methods, the result of which is: Natures Cure compounded in the laboratory of Common Sense.

REV. MIR. POTEAT INDIGNANT.
Sarcastic Denunciation of City officials
for Seeing the sparring Match.

for Seeing the Sparring Match.
 The Rev. Edwin M. Poteat has come out in a characteristic denunciation of the sparring match at St. Patricks T. A. B. society's hall Tuesday evening. His sarcastic commentary on the game as reported is as follows:
 And the president of the board of aldermen was there, and members of the board of police commissioners were there, along with some 800 specta- tors.
 And why not? Here was a noble public function, and the city govern ment could not afford to let it pass without honoring the occasion with it's representatives.
 And the crowd cheered the two men the boxers-to the echo. And the mayor applauded? That is not said. But why should he not? It is a pleas ant sight to see the blood squirting from the mouth of a plucky young brave as he staggers backward to the ropes. And why should not the mayor of the city of New Haven clap his hands?
 Nero covered Christians with pitch, strapped them to poles, and made torches of them for the illumination of his gardens. But Nero was brute. "It conveys sense of qualification to the staid citizenship of New Haven to find our first citizen encouraging the refined and altogether humane glove contests of local club, and leads us to believe that when it comes to some thing really bad he will manfully throw himself into the breach and save the civilization and honor of the city from reproach.
 With the wish that my contribution to the tax returns may afford his honor many a pleasant evening, I am, MT.

OUR FIRST POSTAGE STAMPS.

'Josh DillinEH'" Father WINS the First
P~urchnHer, just Fifty Yenrs Ago.
FIFTY years ago--in July, 1S47-
Uncle Sam issued his first postage
stamps" writes Fannie Mack Lothrop
in Ladies' Home Journal. "In Eng
laud, seven years before, Rowland
Hill, father OF the penny post intro
duced the sticking piasters,' as the
stamps were contcmptuously called.
John NJ. Niles, our pOstmaster-gcneral
ut h n time, tried hcroically, but in
vain, to move congress t. authorize
stamps for this country. His successor,
Cave Johnson, was more fortunate, and
the bill desired was approved on March
3, 1S47, the stamps not being issued,
however, till August, though the time
appointed was July !. Only two values
of the new stamps were introduced in
lSi7-a five and ten-ccnt stamp, bear
ing, respectively, the portrait of Frank
lin in II bronze tint and Washington in
black.
THE first purchaser of stamps in the
United States was Henry Shaw, the
father of Henry Wheeler Shaw (bcttcr
known as Josh Billings the humor-
iSt). Mr.. Shaw was in the postmaster
generals Office OF August G.. 1917, when
Mr.. johnson entered with the printer
from whom he had just received sheets
of the new stamps. Mr.. Johnson passed
a sheet to Mr.. Shaw for inspection.
After giving the stamps n hasty glance
Mr.. Shaw, perhaps with un'eyc to; flu
turc fame, took out his wallet, counted
out Is cents and purchased one of each
variety. The five he kept as n curl
