THE CLUB WOMAN'S BURDEN.
Take up the woman's burden
The world has waited long
Your touch of woman's magic.
The tender touch and strong,
Rest not in dead self-culture,
It's action life demands,
When every work of progress
Is waiting for your hands.
Take up the woman's burden
The duties manifold,
Which in the light of thought-life
Continuously unfold.
Yield up your choicest treasures;
The jewels of your mind
Remove from arts creations
On human brows to bind.
Take up the woman's burden
Turn from a Wanted ease
The gifts Of grace and culture,
The fond desire to please.
Hold not for courts Of beauty,
Nor in the fhome conceal,
But of your richest self-hood
To common life reveal.
Take up the woman's burden
For those of other name,
For hosts that ne'er will know you,
Endure the sting of blame.
Go open doors Of knowledge,
Go loosen bonds of fate.
Does prejudice defeat you,
Let patience bid you wait.
Take UP the woman's burden
Though It's no queenly reign,
Thong present need for labor
Be weary foot and brain,
In schools you viii not enter,
In homes YOU viii not see,
Results of your endeavors
Shall rise eventually.
Take up the wOman's burden
Leave triumphs of a day.
The chaplets of your weaving
Which fade so fast away.
In Self-fOrgpfful service
The charm that's time withstood.
Secure and proudly place in
Your crown of womanhood.
Take up the woman's burden
The future years appeal,
And unborn life will Judge Won
BY what you know and feel.
The beams of a new century,
Like fingers Of a seer,
Straight radiate paths of duty
From vanguard back to rear.
MAY ENGSTROM HOSS.

INDIAN WISDIGo sUrERsTITIoN.
Witchcraft Belief in Canada That Seems
to Justify Murder.

QUEBEC. Aug. lS.-A story Of Indian super
stiton and cold blooded murder has been
divulGed in Ito course OF the trial at Edmon-
ton in the North VEST Territories OF Canada.
OF Cree Indian who had brutally killed
another member of the tribe. There was no
denial OF the killing, the accused readily ad-
hitting that he had shot down his victim quito
Intentionally and in cold blood. The rsmarka-
bic defence that he set up was that his victim
was Windigo" and according to the rules OF
the tribe it was necessary that he should BIZ
killed. SO successful was this defence that the
accused was saved from the CaloHs. and upon
verdict Of simple mansleuehte will escape
with few years Imprisonment
The belief OF these Canadian Indians in
Windigoes. or Wendigoes. is ono OF tho most
firmly rooted OF their many supsrstitions
Different groups Of Indians draw different
pictures OF these fabulous beings. all being
creations OF their own imagnations. They
are always evil spirits and eaters OF men,
Some even profess to have seen them. either
in the form Of q sorcerer, Of man-eating
moose, or in that of a Cyclop. whose height
and voracity were only equaled by the Poly
phemus Of Homsric mythology. The Mas
eapees apply the name Atshem to these mon
sters and at times they brighten the selves
believing that they have seen their tracks.
uSc lHto bOiuo OtleT part Oi
tho country. Nearly all the Canadian Indians
believe that unfortunates who lose their rea-
son in the woods. or who become hysterical or
epeptic. are possessed OF the devil. and their
deaths are at once decreed on the pretence that
they max become WindiEoes or man eaters.
These are usually killed by stealth. as. for
instance. by gunshot or blow from behind
Mr.. Peter Mackenzie OF Montreal. while In
charge Of the Hudson Bay establishment at
Ungava. was instrumental In saving the life OF
a poor lunatio whose death had been resolved
upon. He induced the sufferers companions
to tie him up to a wooden frame. SO that he
could do no damage. and in q short time he re-
covered his reason.
Father Dablon. Jesuit missionary to the
Indians tells In his journal OF a disease that
was quite common In his time among the
Montagnais Indians. The victim suddenly
became a hypochondrlae. his disease de-
velopng into a mania. In It's succeed
Ing stage tho insane man was seized
with such rabid hunger for human nesh
that he sprang like famishod wolf upon all
that he met. In proportion" says the good
Father. ''as he finds wherewlth to glut this
hunger. 1t grows like thirst in dropsy. and ac-
cordinEy the Indians never fail to kill at once
anyone seized with this disease"
1t was testimony of this kind that caused the
conviction for manslauRhter only OF the Indian
at Edmonton who killed in cold blood another
Indian supposed to be Windigo.

El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-01-24

OF course 1t is unnecessary to state
that the HERALD does not believe
members of the school board inten-
tionally misrepresented the facts, as
may have been intimated by the arti-
Gle in yesterdays HERALD. It is
quite natural that they should not tell
all they know, and while we have our
own opinion about the inception of the
scheme to do away with fair competi-
ton in the matter of the plans for the
new school buildings, it would be hard
to prove the facts concern
ing 1t. Some of the members of the
school board are quite above any sus-
picion of Vaccinations for the benefit
of their political friends. Others, we
regret to say, are not quite so depend
able. To avoid any suspicion of
favoritism, it would be far better to
have an open competition, based on
certain specifications, and then award
the work to the most deserving. This
does not necessarily mean the lowest
bidder by any means. We favor GET
ting the best we can afford, not the
cheapest regardless of merit.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-01-24

THE administration, in defence OF its
uuw orthy scheme to give all the work
of designing and constructing the new
school buildings to some favorite, brings
forward arguments that have no bear
ing on the question. The admin1stra-
tion says that as it is necessary to bur-
ry the work the two weeks that would
be necessary in order to secure
competitive plans must be saw
ed, at the expense OF fairness
and possibly of excellence and judicial
expenditure. It is now January. 1t
cannot take seven months to construct
the new buildings. That is an argu-
ment without force. for while the
buildings must be ready by the first OF
September, two weeks more or less in
arranging the preliminaries can not
stand in the way of finishing the build
ings on time. The same answer ap-
plies to the statement that "the work
ers need employment and they need it
as soon as they can get it," Must
we then sacrifice our own
prudence and advantage in order to
give some men employment q few
weeks earlier than they would other
wise get it? The charity" of the adj
has in 1t ring Of insin-
certify and scheming. The plan OF the
to select auarchitect
and then give him all the work is one
d irectly opposed to common sense
methods Of doing business. 1t is not
among the architects in
matter of price that We call for, but in
matter of merit. The interests of the
schools demand this.

How to Tell Good Cattle.

Many people wonder now cattlemen
can discriminate between cattle-can
tell the good quality from the common.
There have been columns written BY
men who have spent their lives in
studying cattle, bat perhaps the best
and most lucid explanation was given
by q woman few days ago at the Den
YER stock yards, says the Denver Stock
man. She was showing some friends
though the yards and was pointing out
some good cattle. which Which
blood, and q gentleman in the party
asked how she was able to tell the
good from the bad. "Why, it is easy"
she replied, promptly. cit is just the
same as telling common people from
high toned people. All animals show
character just the same as humanity"
There is more truth to this than might
at first appear. Good blood will show
in any animal, the same IS in human
being.
Take q we'll bred Hereford or Short
horn steer and stand him alongside OF
q scrub steer of no particular breed
and study the difference. Place well
bred, cultured gentleman alongside OF
an ignorant, commoD-bred man, and
note the result. 1t will be the
same in both instances. No

In selecting the we'll bred creature in
either case. And yet, when 1t comes
to putting the difference into words for
some other person to profit by, it is a
difficult and almost impossible matter
Blood will tell, and the man or woman
who is able to pick out gentleman
from crowd of commoners, can,
with equal facility, pick out
high bred steer or COW from
herd of scrub animals. There ia
an inde6uable something about the
we'll bred animal that cannot be mis-
taken. The perfect form. we'll shaped
head, intelligent eye, and graceful
movements are perhaps 8 necessary
part of the Identification, but there ia
more than that, and while the man
who is familiar with cattle can pick
out tho we'll bred animals at glance.
few are able to say just where the
difference lies. But there Is differ
ence, and 1t is important in the animal
world "a in the human family.-COle-
