farther than we had ever presumed to
20 before. The weather continued de-
llghtfully mild-the finest weather |
have ever seer in the nortti--so we were
able to camp out and sleep in the open
air, We were lust cooking breakfast
on a bright, sunshiny morning, not
many miles from the mouth OF Wound
ed Knee creek, when we heard the
sound OF horses hoofs, and looking up
beheld a hldeously painted Sioux war
rior, clad in q torn and much eedFag-
gled ghost shirt, sitting astride an ema-
ciated and nearly exhausted pony,
which he was energeticatly beiabortng
with the end of u hackamore rope, ana
constantly kicking In the ribs with the
heels OF both moccaslned feet, In a vain
endeavor to accelerate Its speed.
How, eola!" shouted Dick.
The Indian Instantly recognized MS
voice and, sliding off his sorry steed, ran
UP to where we were standing, and, With
much gesticulatIon, began 10 recite his
tale Of woe. He related to us how the
soldiers, drawn up on two sides of the
Indian camp, began searching for arms;
how, when the Indians were all hnddled
together on the open fiat, a frenzied fan
attic had fired his Winchester at a soldier
and raised the war whoop OF the
Sioux; how the warriors, carried away
by the excitement Of the moment, had
rushed impetuously upon the leveled
rifles; and how the fury Of their on
slaught had carried the United States
regulars away before It, although most
of the Indians were armed only with
sheath knives. Our informant assured
us that he, himself, had struck down
three OF the troopers, and showed us his
blood-etained knife to bear out the asser-
ton. But Just when It seemed certain
that the day was won the Calling guns
began pouring In their death-laden mis-
eiles. The soldiers rallied and opened o
murderous cross-Are. The Sioux broke
and fled panic-stricken up Il long draw
with the bullets shrleking over ans
through them. The caivarymen had
quickly mounted and charged after them,
shooting down all that came In their
way, and making the canyons ring with
their battle cry. Remember Custer.r
He told us how, when the fight was over,
warriors, old men, women, children and
helpless babes were lying In mangled
heaps upon the battlefield or lay weller
ing in their blood In the adjacent Bad
Lands.

great fire was blazing, about which
dusky figures could be seen ittting, aud
a wild, weird chant, interpreted by oc-
caslonal Whoops and yells, was waited
TO us by the gentle bree2.
Plcketlng our horses in a little hol-
low IN which the brown, frost-hitten,
but stu nutritious alkall grass was
nearly knGe-deep we cautiously picked
our way toward the fire, Owing to u
having to make several long detours
around deep RHYMES, II was some time
before we reached destination, but
finally we clipped through the door ola
deserted los cabin and looked out upon
one Of the s]trangest sights that II has
ever been my fortune to behold, Around
n huge fire OF red cedar logs, that snap
ped and cracked and sent forth a rich,
aromatic oder, was a circle of Sioux
warriors, dancing furlously TO tho mo-
notonous tum, tum ot the rawhlde
drums and the grewsome chant Of the
spectators. I had expected to see them
stark nAknd. except for paint and
breechelouts, as when they dance the
Omaha" but though their faces were
h~ideousiy painted tn unfnlstakable war
paint, each dancer was clad in white
from head 10 foot, and as they whirled
frenziedly about the leaping red flames
they seemed, indeed, more like ghosts,
witches or gnomes than human beings.
Suddenly one Of their number fell up
on his face Ia the dust and lay like n
dead, but the dancing and singing con-
tlnued more theoretically than be-
fore. At last the Indian, who had been
lying in q death-like trance, staggered
to his feet and raised his hand In the
token OF silence. In m instant every
tongue was hushed. The persp!rins
ghost dancers ceased their mad gVra-
lions, and, seating themselves cross
legged about the nre, waited grayely for
the wizard, a wrinkled, wlzened, little
old man, to begin his revelations,

man was, when Dick whispered In my
ear: "Well, I'll be petrlhed II that amt
old White Elk! If there ever was q man

this connection It is interesting to quote
some few extracts from the Petit Par

American, has q daily circulation Of $780,
900 copies. Such n paper may not i'm

ters, Go not take ready or deep root in
this country. The constitution of the
United States neither recognizes any
religion as essential to the enjoyment
of political rights, nor does it prescribe
any one for protesting any religion or
for protesting none, and the people
have been and are in full accord wi,lI
the constitution on this subject. This
being so. why should the people toler-
ate the imposition Of any religious or
anti-religious test by any self consti-
tuted guardians of American institu-
tons? Taking it all in all, one por-
ton of the people is just as loyal and
patriotic as another, and this is so
whether they divide themselves into
one or many political parties. There
is no use for the a. P. a. in our politi-
cal affairs, for it would make false
and pernicious division of the people.

FOUR FOOTBALL rEAMs.

1t may almost be said that football
has taken the place Of baseball as the
national game. Each year interest in
it seems to increase; if it were stripped
OF some of its present highly objec-
tionable features there would be little
or no outcry against it, but so long
as it is attended with so many fatali-
ties there will be just cause for this
cutlery. There are hundreds of football
teams in the country, and it is a small
town that is without one, but there are
only four teams that are regarded as
great and in whose playing the whole
country takes an interest. These are
those of the universities of Princeton
Pennsylvania, Harvard and Yale.
Pennsylvania stands first, Princeton
second, Harvard third and Yale fourth
Pennsylvania did not meet either
Princeton or Yale. though Harvard
met Yale and tied, while Princeton lost
to Yale. The records are as follows:
