Canvass for Accommodation.
THOUSANDS OF DELEGATES ARE EXPECTED

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for
street Meetings.

The entertainment committee for the
Christian church convention has started to
make arrangements for the housing OF the
delegates. At the last meeting Of the
committee of which Mrs. Edith ID. Garloch
is chairman the city was divided into six
districts, a member of the committee be-
ing placed in charge Of each division. This
committee woman was empowered to call
TO her assistance such help as she found
necessary and to make a canvass of each
home In the district for the purpose of as
ceftaining how many persons could be en-
tertained during the convention. which will
be In session about ten days. TIT dele
gates will pay for entertainment, but II the
convention is attended by 81 many people

tertained, the number Of men and the
number OF women, the number Of rooms

cards will be used, each color representing
a certain price which will be charged for
entertainment.

regular hotels and boarding houses will be
utilized at first and the private houses
drawn upon later. but where a delegate
expresses a preference for a private house
he will be assigned to one, regardless OF
the condition OF the hotel and boarding
house list.
In addition to securing the names and
addresses OF the people who will entertain
delegates In their homes, the committee
will secure from each hotel and boarding
house the number Of guests they can accom-
modate during the convention, with a state
ment OF the price at which the accommoda-
ton will be afforded. This hotel list VIII
be kept separate from the %citizens' list.

ARE AT WAR.
Baptlsis and Latter Day Saints
al Odds in Maine.

Ellsworth, Me-. March 10.--Down at La
moine there is a lively little religious war
between Baptsts and Latter Day Saints,
or as they are popularity called, the
Mormons There has been intense feel
ing between the two denominations for
some time. but il was confined TO church
and social circles until last week. when
II broke out in town meeting. The dis
cussion arose over the question of allow
ing religious denominations the use of
school buildings for services.
This was aimed directly at the Nor
mons. who have no church. and have held
meetings In the schoolhouse. In the dis
cussion Rev. J. S. Blair OF the Baptist
church and Elder Brawn OF the Latter
Day Saints took part Each had his
adherents and excitement was intense.
Mr.. Blair spoke at some length When
Elder Brawn rose to reply the moderator
ruled him out OF order. saying the discus
sion had already been too prolonged
The voters. however asked that Elder
Brawn be given the floor and this was
done. The result OF the discussion was a
vote closing the schoolhouses TO religious
services. The town is aroused as Il sci.
dom has been before by any matter, social
or political. The Mormons say they will
as taxpayers. demand the privilege OF the
town hall. and long hard fight is ox.
pected before the matter Is finally settled

WHY RED MEN PAINT,

The question why Indians paint their
faces so hideously has long puzzled peo-
ple interested in the habits OF the alb
origines. The other night the question
came up at club in st. Paul.
A former Indian agent said that he had
heard but one legend bearing on the point
II was sitting at a campfire one night"
said he. lin village Of Jacarilla Apaches
listening TO the stories and legends that
were being told when | propounded the
old question again. hardly expecting even
the expression OF ignorance that hides
so many OF the thoughts of the Indians
ITO my surprise. however,I received the
answere that 1 least expected. An old
fellow who had sat all the evening listen
ing TO the stories without changing his
attitude, grunted and straightened up as
he heard the question. Proceeding with
all due solemnity, he told the following
legend:
Long ago. when men were weak and
animals were big and strong. a chief of
the red men who lived I'm these mountains
went out TO get a deer. fo~~ his people
were hungry.
AFTER walking all day he saw a deer,
and shot at IL: but the arrow was turned
aside. and wounded mountain lion,
which was also after the deer When the
lion felt the sting or the arrow he jump
ed up and bounded after the man, who
ran for his life.
" lie was almost exhausted. and. when
he felt his strength giving way. he fell TO
the ground. calling on the big bear-who.
you know. Is the grandfather of men--to
save him.
4" The big bear heard the call, and saw
that TO save the man he had TO act quick
ly; so he scratched his foot and sprinkled
his blood over the man.
"'Now you must know that no animal
will eat Of the bear or tast OF his blood.
so when the lion reached the man he
smelled the blood and turned away: but
as he did so his foot scraped the face OF
the man, leaving the marks OF his claws
on the blood-smeared face.
F" when tho man found that he was un-
injured. ne was so thankful that he left
the blood 90 dry on his face. and never
washed u at all. but left u until IL peeled
on
Where the claws OF the lion scraped
IL of. there were marks that turned
brown IN the sum- and where the blood
stayed on II was lighter. Now all men
paint their faces that way with blood.
and scrape Il OF In streaks when they
