1t was a bold. bluff game that John
Morgans. colored. tried to work, but
he certainly did not reckon upon meet
ing the astute Patrolman HeZekiah
Peters. He now languishes, a confessed
thief, in the West Side police station,
awaiting hearing, and all because the
bluff" was too carefully carried out.
The arrest was made early yesterday
morning, I'm fact at Ais o'clock, as the
docket indicates. At an hour when
only such persons with intentions as
Morgans had and patrolmen are sup
posed to be abroad.
1t was much after this style that this
colored man. with a propensity to get
chickens from others without their
given consent, met with an abrupt
call" Down the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western tracks from the
Mt. Pleasant breaker tramped Nor
gans. over his shoulder he carried an
old-fashioned army musket, suspended
from which was a heavy bag. Across
his other shoulder was slung a powder
horn. Concealed about his clothes was
a hatchet and large carving knife.
Tired, dusty and wthal confident,
MOrgans approached the West LaCka-
wanna avenue crossing. Soon he would
be at Kelly's domain, on Scranton
street, where he made his home. His
pleasant reverie was disturbed by the
salutation of Patrolman Peters. Say,
what kind of game have you?" 1t was
a startling question, but Morgans was
| bound to see the thing out. "Oh, a
couple q birds, sar," said he. A short
interview followed and Patrolmen
Evans and Peters decided that the
! game had been Illegally taken,
! Morgans was placed in a cell, and
| his game bag emptied. 1t contained
/ five plump. white Brahmins and three
! equally fine Plymouth Rocks. Each
! fowl had it's head severed. The bloody
! and feathered knife indicated how.
Later in the day Morgans told PATROL

He will be given a hearing this morn

MOrgans has a record, although he

who read The Tribune, how about two
years ago John Marshall, a colored lad
had his left legtshot off by discharged

Der of the feathered tribe. Mr.. Scott
Leighton, the Boston artist, tells the
story Of a pet gamecock which he kept
in his studio. Having at one time to
paint the portrait of a large-sized
game-cock for a patron, the pet suffer
ed a great deal from the domineering
spirit of the larger bird, and got SO
that he never could see him without
flying into a rage. After the picture
was completed and the feathered mod
ell had been removed, the canvas re-
manned in the studio, standing on tie
floor.
One day the little gamecock was pick
ing has way about the studio, when he
suddenly caught sight of the counter
felt presentment of his former enemy.
With a scream of rage he gave one
leap, and, flying at the picture, struck
his spurs into it again and again. The
next time that he was given an oppor-
tunity, he repeated the attack, and 1t
became the almost daily amusement
Of the artist and his friends to witness
these impromptu cock-tights between a
live bird and a dummy.
At last one day the little fellow, rest
Ing a moment after an unusually spir-
tied attack, happened to cock his head
on one side SO as to get a look behind
the picture. For an instant he was
dumfounded. He looked In front and
saw his old enemy, as large as life; an
other glance behind, and he was more
than ever puzzled. He then deliberate
ly walked behind and around the pic
ture several times, carefully surveying
1t, and with a spiteful firt, and with
an air of disgust that would have done
credit to a human being, marched away
and hid himself.
Never after that could he be persuad.
ed to attack the picture, or, indeed. to
pay the slightest attention to 1t. He
had penetrated the sham, and would
have no more of 1t.

What then could afford a better tar
get for the camera than this perfect III
man animal? He has an individuality,
1t Is true, and q name, but his animal
instincts are predominant from the be-
ginning. His mother gives him his
name at birth-a name that is never
told, but is kept as secret as the sacred
name of the Almighty. The boy gets
his name from the skies and the girl
from the earth, rather paradoxical, to
be sure, but l have tried In vain to con-
vince the Indian mothers that it should
be the other way. When 1t Is known
that the boy is the delight Of the
father, and the girl looked upon only
as a chattel which will bring value
later in life, it is not so paradoxical
after all.
1t Is not an easy matter to photo
graph an Indian baby. They are
hedged about with superstition in most
cases, and avarice in others. The
mothers, until they learn the ways Of
the whites, are much afraid that some
harm will come to their little mes If
they are shot with a camera, and after
they find out that 1t does no harm, they
place an extraordinary value on the
privilege. The little one themselves
learn this money idea early, and it is
not an uncommon thing to see a whole
squad of them fleeing at the top of
their speed just because they were not
paid as much as they thought they
were worth for the few minutes of
posing.
There Is one kind of game which l
have never been able to photograph
among the Indian children, and that Is
the kind where kissing M In as part
of the pleasure. The Indians do not
kiss. Story telling is a fayorite amuse-

II you see a group of them gathered
about some old crone and listening
with rapt attention, you may be sure
that they are hearing a ghost story or
that she is telling them of the "Kitchi
Manitou," or bad spirit, who carries
off and eats bad Indian boys, just as
the mythical bad man" that our
nurses used to terrorize us with was
supposed to put bad little white boys
in his sack and carry them off. The
difference between the two races ID,
however, that while the white boys
