THE INDIAN VISITING HABIT.
Effort of the Dureau TO Break 1T Up
I'm South Dakota.

I'm South Dakota.
From the New York Evening Post
Sioux Falls, S. D., March 9.-The Sioux
Indians are determined that the WASH
ington officials shall not break up their
old-time custom of visiting a neighbor
until they have cleaned out his larder.
Although the Indian bureau has issued
strict orders against these visits. the In
dams have found a way to get around
them. se4
Visiting between tribes, nations ana
families Is an old custom with the In
dians. An unwritten Indian law is that
the guest shall stay as long as he likes.
and that as long as the guest remains the
host must provide food. To-day each In
dian is given his food by the government
every two weeks, and II must last him
that long IL il does not, he has to go
hungry until next ration day, or get food
from another source. Few OF the Indians
husband their food In the majority OF
cases in less than three days after the
food has been distributed Little of II Is
left, for the Indians fairly gorge them
selves. 1t Is then that the improvident
visit the more prudent members OF the
tribe, who laid by a portion of their sup
ply.
The recent order Of the Indian bureau
says that this visiting must be stopped,
but says nothing against the Indians
holding a council or ''pow-wow'' when
ever the spirit so moves them. IL so
happens that the spirit so moves them
about the time that a number OF big
chiefs get hungry, and cannot hold Off
until ration day. IL also happens that
the council Is called to meet with or near
a fellow-trlbesman who Is known to have
a fat larder. The length OF the delibera-
lions depends upon the stock of goods
which the Indians may have on hand

these old books should be lost Is one of the most deplorable happenings we have to consider And knowing the existence and loss of this wonderful literature and poetry, makes more miraculous and shows more strongly the power of the God, which rules us, in saving for the present world the old part of the Bible.
 The excavators of the University of Pennsylvania have brought to light more than 4OoO of the most interesting tablets of the olden times, and in the his- tory they exhibit Is to be found the lives and actions of moro than fifteen kings who ruled before any of those mentioned at length in the Old Testament. One of the tablets found in the excavation of the freproof vault in the store of prominent firm of merchants shows guarantee representing an emerald ring of twenty years.
 In concluding the lecture, Dr. Penniman said that the work of the university in accomplishing the results 1t had been able to do was the most picturesque, most in- teresting, most remarkable, and most striking ever undertaken by any institu- tion, and that the pride felt in it by the members of the university was for that reason justifiable. This work accom- plished much in pushing back the history of civilized man coco years and If 1t had done no more, that one fact would be req son for pride.
