 fall court are approved
 As to the points on which the presiding member differs from the opinion of the majority of the court the opinion of the
 majority is approved.
 As to the further expression of his views by the same member with regard to the questions Of command on the Ynorn- ing of July 3, 1898, and of the title to credit for the ensuing victory, the conduct Of the court in making no finding and rendering no opinion on those questions is approved.

A merry time was given the pupils of the Center school Friday afternoon, from 1:15 to 2:3O o'clock. Recitations, singing and a good time occupied the fast flying moments.

In one of the rooms a Christ mas tree was prettily arranged and loaded with presents. George Zeidler acted Santa Claus to perfection, and it is needless to say that all the chil- dren had genuine good time.

INDIAN PUZZLES.

There are some things that the North
American Indian is able to do which are
beyond the skill of any white man. 1t
is quite generally believed that he sur
passes his pale-face brother in strength,
agility and endurance but I think this
belief is unfounded. I have in mind one
old-timer who tells of outstripping
whole band of Indians in foot-race
another who found, after it occurred to
him to turn his toes in, that he could
keep at the head Of party throughout
one all-day march after another: third
who could not bend an Indian bow at
all when he first tried, but as soon as he
had learned the "slight" of it could
send an arrow through a buffalo with
the best of them. AS to endurance, the
Apaches were long supposed to be in
comparable in this regard: but when
the time came, DR.. Leonard Wood and
the late General Lawton wore the
Apaches out at their own game.
There are, however, certain lines in
which the Indians have acquired
skill which seems not to be commune
able to white men; and about all of
these there is something queer, as if the
ordinary facts of our knowledge were
not adequate to explain them.
Snakes.
The Shoshonien tribe called the Moki
apparently have the power, common to
all the men of the tribe, and hereditary,
of handling venomous reptiles without
harm. Once year they gather snakes
indiscriminately from the surrounding
country, and thirty or forty Of the priests
spend week with them in an under
ground room. The ceremonies end with
public parade, in which each man carries
in his hands and mouth all the snakes for
which he has accommodations. This
yearly snake-dance is described by those
who have witnessed it as most wonder
full thing to see, and one quite past ac-
counting for.
Professor Hewett of Las Vegas once
showed me two peculiar stones, which had
the singular property OF becoming lum-
nous when rubbed by an Indian. They
were some five inches in length and two in
diameter, rounded and perfectly smooth,
and appeared to be of simple quartz,
being clouded or milky to look at, like
ground glass. One side was fattened,
and in one of them slightly followed.
They were so shaped that they could
conveniently be held in one hand and
rubbed with the thumb, and the flatten-
ing or following of the one side had
probably been effected by such rubbing,
continued through no one can guess how
many years. An Indian - or at least
some Indians in the Pueblos of New
Mexico-wOuld take one of these stones
