when the Nayajos were having their
snake dance, he was SEM out there by
a moving-piCtuTe concern to get a
series of negatives. He did not sue

and Suspicious. but he caught some Of

some seventeen miles north of Canon
Diablo. This year he went out to try
the dance again, and took his exhibit
ton outfit along with him. Reaching
the store. he invited the Indians to see
the show. About coo of them came,
and he put up a screen behind the store
one night and shot off the pictures.
The Indians gazed at the various
scenes with open mouths, apparently
not compromising. When the moving
railway train was shown, growing
from a pin point on the horizon till it
filled the whole frame, seemingly rush

in unison and would have fed had not
the Interpreter treasured them. The
march CT the soldiers was something
that most of them had seen, but the
exhibition drill of the Kansas fire de-
partment was an u%ncanny mystery.
The climax came when the pictures
taken on the same spot the preceding
year were reproduced. Most of the
Indians had been present when the pic
lures had been taken. Many of them
almost shrieked when they saw them
selves in action as they were in the
chicken-pulling contest and in the
races of last August. Last year a pop

cheeks upon it. chattering noisily in

enduring literature in human langu-
age. There are a few standard works
in all the departments of knowledge
which stand out as mountain peaks and
catch and expose to the world the i'm

Homer, Shakespeare, Milton. Dante,
Goethe-these are the mighty spirits.
universal men, who represent the.
highest culture of the race. They are
fixed stars in the abyss of time. Add
to these other names like Plato, Bacon.
Gibbon, Carlyle, Emercon, il you have

some mountain peak in history like
Carlyle's French revolution, the biog>
raphy OF great characters like Carlyle's
Cromwell, Frederick the great, or
Robertson's Charles V. Every one who
reads and wants to know something
about literature should read these elias.
sic masterpieces. Everyone can get
them for they cost little in money. The
poorest family in the land may have
them. Better wear thread-bear clothes
and patched shoes than to economic
on books. Better to love literature
than idle gossip. Better spend less
money on clothes, not to say amuse-
ments than ITO go without books.
During the approaching holidays
r~anchers will come to town to buy
goods and Christmas presents, new
suits of clothes, a handsome set Of chi
ma, a fine bicycle, a new buggy, and
perhaps not a dollar spent for a good
book which would be of immense ser
vice in the development Of character.
We are said to have less literature in
Wyoming than in any state in the I'm
ion, but it is a reflection on our cul-
ture when among a long list of we'd
ding presents you sometimes see not
a single book of good literature.
Having read the masterpieces we
ought to read along the line of our
trade and profession so that we car be-

people are ignorant on the very pur-

often stand in stores and shops in the
midst of whole bazaars of knowledge
and know nothing about the articles
they handle except the price. The
school-teachers' profession is the no.
blest on earth, and those engaged in it
should know the history and principles
of the art and seek to improve upon
them.
We are here on this earth to do the
will of God and our reading should
help us in this. 1t should make us use

A skin-gTafting operation was per-
formed in Wilkesbarre, Pa, by DR..
Sweeney on the arm Of Katie Foy,
which was badly injured by being
crushed in a mangle at a Laundry sew
eral weeks Ago.. The arm was torn
from the wrist nearly up to the shoul-
der, and the skin is gone from all this
space. The fifteen girls in the laundry
volunteered to give part of their skin
to be grated on the injured arm. and
the first grating has been done. Five
of the girls went to a hospital and had
pieces of skin about the size Of a
penny taken from their arms and
grated on Miss Foy's injured arm.
Two places were taken from some oil
them and from others three. In a day
or two another five will undergo the
same operation and a few days later

From the Washington Post: There's
a small boy uptown who judges things
as he sees them. The square adjOin-
ing that on which he lives was roped
off a couple of weeks ago ou account
of the presence of diphtheria among
some children in a house on that
square. The boy regarded the ropes
and the white rags fluttering there
from with added interest, because one
OF the boys down with the disease was
a schoOlmate Of his. One morning last
week the y~oungster noticed that two Ct
the white rags out of the half-dozen
that had been hanging from the rope
nearest his house the night before
were missing. They had probably fall
en- off or been mischievously cut off by
some lad with a pocketknife. The
little chap hustled into the house.
Say, nav" he said, all out of breath,

~TENNYsON AND A CRITIC.


Tennyson was exceedingly ,hrry
throughout his life of replying to crIl.-
cism or clearing up obscuritics in his
works. but a letter of the poet shows
than on occasion he departed from his
customary rule, says the Nottingham
Guardian. The letter in question was
addressed to Mr.. Edward Campbell
Tainsh, in acknowledgment of a copy
of his Study of the Works Of Alfred
Tonnyson." The following lines hay
ing been cited by Mr.. Taiush as an
instance of mechanical supernatural
ism:
Though family, mcrrily, far and far
away,
He heard the pcaling of his parish
bells.
Tennyson replied: "a friend OF
mine told me hat he had heard his
own parish bells in the midst of an
eastern desert-not knowing at the
time it was Sunday. He accounted for
it to me by stating hal there was a
ringing in his ears which his old asso-
Citations nodded unconsciously into the
sound he heard. There is nothing
really supernatural, mechanically or
otherwise, in e. AS hearing bells,
though the author most probably did
intend the passage to tell upon the
reader mystiCalIy."

"You don't want to be hid forever.
do you?" asked Allen.
''Not forever, but for ever so long.
It's such fun to hear the others hunting
for you, and you all the time SO near
them, only they don't know where to
look!"
And Katy began to dance with glee
at the thought of the long search for
her small self.
"Come on" said Allen, good-natured-
ly. Til find famously tight place
for you to hide in.''
Don't hide too tight" said Nanny,
"or I'll give you up. It's no fun to be
always hunting and never hiding!"

be bound to find u.s." replied Allen.
So, under this agreement, the four
children paired off for the game.
"What are you up to, screeching as
If you thought a body deaf? Oh, you're

I'm spared, I'll have all the closets and

LUCK IN THE GRAVE.

He said that he was tired Of life! Bad luck
seemed always camping
Upon his trail to handicap all he might
undertake.
Tor many long and weary months he'd
worn himself out tramping
The rugged Colorado hills, and never
made stake.
No hill or gulch for miles around that he
had not prospected.
But not color nor a streak had met his
searching eye,
And now, most awful sick At heart and
thoroughly detected,
He sought wild secluded place to lay
him down and die!
He started in to dig a grave in which to
do his sleeping
TIL Gabriel should wake him up upon
the final day,
Emotions Of the widest sort throughout
his bosom sweeping
To think that he must quit the earth In
such beastly way.
dose Of poison he'd prepared, pint Of
cactus whisky,
Such as is kept for Indian trade down
at the agency.
And hoped that when he faced the deal
he'd feel so wildly frisky
That death would seem picnic: but 4
mortuary spree!
But Sest laid plans Of mice and men gang
aft agley, and soon he
Was whooping in a joyous way and dane
in his grave
And acting most decidedly. emphatically
looney-
He'd struck q lead of sylvanite DER which
god would rave!
He sold it to a tenderfoot fof twenty thou
sand dollars,
And life for him now carries lots of sugar
in the cup,
And at the faintest thought Of death with
fear he almost hollers,
And every time he catches cold he hunts
a doctor up.
