PROFESSIONAL EATERS.

An Outcome of the ProverbiaI Hospital
ity of the Devils Lake Sioux.
o. a. Wright, of Madison, Wis, Su-
pervisor of Indian Schools. brings an
interesting story to Washington con
corning the professional eaters of the
Sioux Indians on the Devils Lake
Reservation in North Dakota. The
professional eater among the Devils
Lake Indians, according to Supervisor
Wright. pursues recognized profes-
sion which entities him to distinction
and eminence. measured largely by
his capacity. The more capacity the
more eminence and distinction.
The Sioux of Devils Lake are a hos
pitable people. a guest must be fed.
and the table placed before linn must
be bountifully supplied. If not, it is n
gross violation of Indian etiquette.
which subjects offenders to harsh
criticism. The obligation on the part
of the guest is equally binding. Very
often the latter is the unfortunate vic
tim of too much kindness. If. how
ever he should fail to dispose of all
the food placed before him his offence
would be as great as that OF the host
whose larder failed to respond to the
demands Of the prevailing social usage
among these Indians.
The capacity of some of these pro
feSsional eaters is phenomenal They
arc said to be carefully trained TO
their calling, and the returns for their
services are certainly very remunera-
tive TO the Indian mind. one who Is
about to make n call and who feels
that he will not be equal to the occa-
sion secures a professional eater. The

"The Father Of His Peop1e p,

The decOrOus conduct of the walters

and admiration to all visitors ever
since the opening day. The French
papers in this connection have very

greatly TO the Emperor's credit and
juStlhes his pretentions to being the

The scene was laid in the imperial

men were gathered i'm the Emperor's
private study. After a prolonged and
apparently satisfactory scrutiny, he
said briskly:
