legend Of st.naing Rock.

The Indian legend of the stone from
which Standing Rock gets its name is
as follows:
Years ago Q buck and his squaw were
on a journey down the Missouri river
to visit some relatives at a distant
point. Where Fort Yates now is the
buck saw a young suuaw Of surprising
beauty. with whom he fell desperately
in love. In spite of the tears and en-
treaties of his lawful wife he refused
to proceed on the journey or. in any
other direction, but resolved to stay
right there. The deserted squaw ex-
hausted her e%ntreaties and her tears
and finally arose to leave the place
alone. AS she did so she stepped back
in the spot where she had been sitting
and turned to stone. There she has re-
manned ever since. a standing reproach
to her faithless lord and master and to
all his kind BY a faint stretch Of the
imagination the standing rock from
which the agency gets its name a be
made to take the outlines of a woman.

The indian creation Legend.

The earliest source for the religion
Of India is .-he hymns OF the Rig Veda.
the date of which is fixed at about
LOCO B. c.. In one of these hymns we
encounter as the creator Purusha, who
IS simply a .'magniied man. A pam
theistic turn, however, is given to this
conception under the influence of
which Purusha becomes the "all in all,
and is identified with the universe,
with what has been and what shall be.
All gods. animals and castles are parts
of him. The moon is his mind. the sun
his eye, from his mouth sprang Indra
and Agni and from his breath Yayu.
space from his navel. heaven from his
head and the earth from his feet. This
emanation theory when freed from its
primitive elements becomes pantheism
pure and simple. In accord with this
view the source of creative activity is
carried back in other hymns to de
sire" We read in Vedic literature that
'desire is the seed of the mind."-Mor-
ris Jastrow. Ir.. in Harper's Magazine.
