His TITLED Guests.

There were eight of us going to stop
at the same town and the same hotel in
Kansas hamlet, and we talked things
over before we left the train. Each one
registered himself as professor, judge
or general, and when the last name was
down we stood waiting TO hear any OBJ
servation from the landlord. He was a
quiet-spoken, humble looking man, and
he should have been duly impressed
with the array of names. He wasn't
though. He read them over in care
less way and then looked up TO say:
"All right. professors, judges and
generals, I'll do the best ! can for you,
and | guess most of the folks viii turn

weather is pleasant. .'-Columbian.

"The fire dance was one OF their most
interesting performances. They would
build tremendous fire, dance around
ii, and at a certain point the men would
break out and rush into the roaring
flames. dance in them, and throw the
embers madly into the air. It was then
time for JUS TO rush out ourselves, be-
cause we. might be struck by some OF
the flying brands. Apparently they
went into the fire barefooted and bare
legged. The wore nothing but breech
clouts.
might after night they had some
thing new. Another trick was appar-
entity to run knife through mans
arm and let the blood rush out. They
would entertain us for hours with songs
and dances. No admission was charged,
but we frequently made them pres
ents."
'What is the greatest trick you have
ever seen among the Navajos?"
"The growth of the corn is very
pretty trick. 1t takes place at night by
the uncertain light of the fire, which
.onfuses the eye of the spectator. A
party of Indians come in and dance,
bearing nothing, apparently, about
them. They form a ring, singing and
dancing. The ring opens, and thereyou
see growing out of the bare ground OF
the corral small plant. They sing
awhile, and the ring closes again.
When it opens second time the yucca
baccata plant is noticed. In Indian
rites everything goes by fours. 1t is
their sacred number, as three and seven
are sacred numbers with us. There are
four acts in the rite. The second is the
plant in bud. The third is the plant in
the flower. The ring closes again, and
when it opens there is the fruit, with
great beans six inches long hanging to
it. The explanation is that they bring
into the inclosure with them the various
parts of the plant, which they deftly
place in proper position while the ring
is closed during the incantations. They
use their blankets to cover the work.
