NEW CHIEF ELECTED.
Installed in Accordance with Ritual
Old as the Hills.
Sac and Fox Tribes, Who Are SUN
WOrshiPers, Cling with TenaeIty
TO the SuperstitiOus Beliefs
OF Their Ancestors.

With all the ancient and mysterious
rites of the sun worshipers, the Sac
and Fox tribe of Indians who live on
q reservation in Oklahoma, have in
stalled new medicine chief into Office.
The new chief is Ka-wan-so, and he
takes the place of Wa-pa- -ke-sek, who
sickened and died in the growing sea-
son. The dead chief had only been in
Office few months, and it is thought
he was poisoned by jealous opponents.
Looking Glass, the chief medicine
man of the tribe, says that evil-spirit-
ed redskins gave Wa-pa-ke-sek arsenic,
which mixed in with his whisky,
and that several young men of the
tribe are strongly suspected of being
the guilty parties. A few weeks ago,
when the sun beat down upon the
plains of Oklahoma and the whole re-
seryatiOn of these Indians took on an
appearance of summer. Ka-wan-so
was made medicine chief of his tribe of
sun worshiping Indians.
One morning, when the sun had
scarcely peeped over the treetops, Red
Eagle, a minor medicine chief, came
bounding from his tepee blowing
tiercely upon his medicine whistle.
As Wa-pake-sek had died a drunk
ard he had naturally left his curse
upon the tribe, according to the In
dams way of thinking. Two days had
elapsed since his death and he had
not appeared in ghost-like spirit 10 in
form Red Eagle as to who should be
his successor. Finally, Red Eagle gave
up that the dead chief was going to
appear owing to the fact that he had
been assassinated. So he announced
that he would choose Ka-wan-so to act
as new medicine chief of the tribe.
As master of ceremonies, Red Eagle
ordered all of the braves to put on
their black paint and assemble at the
burial grounds of the tribe at sunrise
for the purpose of laying away the
body of the dead chief and inaugural
ing the new chief into office.

of allowing each Indian to eat berry

TO PRESERVE CUT FLOWERS.

Never place cut flowers in a draught
or in sunlight.
IN cutting the ends, snip them off at
righs angles to the stalk.
Do not allow the ends of the stems
to rest on the bottom of the vase.
Do not place flowers near or under
ights-gas or lamp-when it can be
avoided.
Change the water each day, and at
the same time again cut the ends OF
the flower stems.
The ends of the stems of all flowers
should be cut off before they are
placed in water. It is better to strip
the leaves from that part of the stem
which will be immersed.
Maidenhair fern should be kept
rolled up in moistened paper and on
the ice, OF, with the stems in the wa
ter, in a cool place, until ready for
use. In this way it viii last for some
time.
NGgnonette is generally grown in Il
cool house, and for this reason often
droops when first placed in a heated
room. 1t is well to put it in the ice
box in water, for n time, when it
will revive, harden" and, if properly
cared for each day, asst a long time.
Many flowers do more satisfactorily
if placed in water with the chill off
until the stems have become filed, and
are then allowed to stand in an ice
chest, or very cool place, for time.
Roses viii asionally revive if placed
in ice water-always with the ends Of
the stems previously cut.

Clicked by Imagination.

The fact that the throes of the I'M
agination under great nervous excite
ment often produce a corresponding
physical frenzy was illustrated recent
" in the case of man who had gone
to sleep with his artificial teeth in his
mouth.
Waking suddenly with choking
sensation he found his teeth had dis
appeared. He concluded they must
be far down his throat.
Choking and struggling he hammered
on the door Of friend sleeping in the
house, who, seeing his critical condl-
ton, vainly tried to draw the teeth
out of the sufferer throat. He could
feel the teeth, but had not the strength
to extract them. He ran for black
smith who lived few doors away, but
the blacksmiths hand Was too big
to put into the mans mouth.
A doctor had been sent for, but he
was so long in coming that the victim
of the accident seemed likely to die
of suffocation before the physician ar
rived. A little girl of 10 years was
brought, under the impression that
her small hand might reach the obsta-
Gle and withdraw it, but she got fright
ened and began to cry.
The sufferer became black in the
face, his throat swelled out and his
friends expected every moment to be
his last, when finally the doctor ar
rived. He heard the history of the
case, and cast his eyes seriously upon
the floor.
There he saw the whole set Of teeth.
He adjusted them in the jaws of the
patient, told him to breathe freely
and every symptom of sutfocation dis
appeared.

MAGIC AMULETS.
Thought 10 Bring Good Luck TO
Their Chinese Owners.

Their Chinese owners
II is the desire of every Chinaman's
heart to possess pair of magic brace
lets. Arm rings or bracelets are
thought n great deal of in the Celestial
empire, the custom Of wearing them
having been handed down from time
immemorial. Usually made Of jade
stone, the Chinese arm ring OF today
is Of one invariable shape. 1t looks
like a large martingale.
The Chinese word for jade is ngook-
seu and for jade arm ring or bracelet
ngook-ak. The custom in China Is to
place the bracelet on young mans
arm Just before the hand stops grow
ing. A tight fit is usually secured, and
once placed the amulet arm ring Is
worn throughout life. At death, II the
bracelet has proved n lucky one and
If there is son whom It will fit, the
bones in the old mans hand are bro
ken and the bracelet removed.
Many are the marvellous tales told
by the Chinese Of the wonderful quail
ties these amulets possess. There Is
tradition that a certain Chinese en-
Deror who was stricken with paraly-
sis wore upon his forearm a magic
bracelet, which kept life in that mem
Der for many months and allowed him
to make known his desires and DEGREES
by writing. At last. when death
claimed the emperor, something even
more wonderful took place. Dead three
days and lying in state. his body was
being viewed by the priests. The adj
visibility of removing the bracelet was
being considered. when the hand was
lifted up and gave Il signal which they
interpreted to mean the bracelet
should go with its owner to the tomb.
Among other wonderful properties
good amulet is said to act as n fairly
reliable barometer. - Cincinnati En-

The Honesty Of Men.

Speaking about honesty among
men, said postofice official, IL will
give you fact or two which may prove
interesting on that point.
when it comes to an army of work
ers, those employed under the postof-
fee department seal Of celebrity, GER
tainty and security make the other
branches of the government, including
the army and the navy, respectively
look like dwarfs.
I'm the first place, there are over
10000 postmasters, over $4,000 letter
carriers, over $500 railway mail SER
vice clerks, about $1,000 clerks IN
postofices, 22,8O0 star route drivers,
100 mail messengers, about l47 900
persons in all, and with others not en-
ployed under these approximate emu
merations constitute probably an army
of about 10000 men and women,
Thousands of postmasters are OF the
latter sex, and several hundred more
are employed here in Washington in
the department.
"All of this great force of workers
is directed, controlled and managed
by less than 800 officials and clerks in
the big granite building opposite the
home of The Star.
"Yet out of this vast army but 292
were arrested last year for violations
of the postal laws, of whom ll9 were
postmasters, 90 assistant postmasters,
48 clerks in postofiices, s railway mail
clerks, 80 letter carriers, 80 mail mes
sengers and 10 employed in other po-
sltions. There are many of us who are
so constituted that we cannot with
stand temptation. The knowledge that
the public uses the mails for the trans
mission of money is always more or
less of temptation to this class. These
figures, which will surprise those VINO
read them, reflect great credit upon the
personnel of the service, made up as it
is Of all sorts, kinds and degrees Of
men, as well as bear evidence to the
honesty which is a characteristic of
American life. = Washington Star.

The new city council of Mounds
vile, w. Va, recently passed an or
dinance raising the price of saloon
licenses to $500 in spite Of a vigorous
protest by the saloon men. The IL
censes expired April 3Oth. Next day
saloonkeepers met and combined. The
eleven saloons all became stockholders
in one big saloon to be situated in the
center of the town. The $500 license
will be taken for this saloon. The
saloon men will be bartenders, and a
general manager will look after the
business. A competent accountant
will make an estimate of the business
done the past three months by the
several saloons, and on the basis OF
this the profits will be shared and the
stock in the combine issued. The city
stands to lose $4,000 by the plan.
