Little boys can be reasoned with. II one
only knows the way to do it. The other
evening on One Hundred and thirteenth
street, reports the New York Times, two
young women were taking an evening stroll.
when. without warning, a herd OF small
boys, about eight in number. averaging
from 10 to ~ years old. surrounded them
and with diabolicalieers refused to let them
pass.
You're our prisoners shouted one.
"An' we amt never goin' ter let you
pass" announced another.
They held hands firmly and in spite Of
the efforts Of both young women resisted
the feminine strength.
But not feminine tactics. A right"
said one Of the girls, "we'll stay with you
as prisoners-but you know the rule Of this
game. II you play IL right. and. Of course.
we wouldn't play It any other way-it is to
make us each kiss the boy we think is the
prettiest. Now, I think ! like"
But there was a scufie, a yell Of terror,
and the young women were left standing
alone and free-witH the vanishing backs
Of eight small boys tearing madiy dow the

There is a family in his goodiy borough

clings to an old country custom OF ito fore
fathers. The custom has been the source OF
much satisfaction and no little internal con-
graduation in the past, but It Is a question
whether IT is. not in danger NJ falling l-to
'innccuous desuetude." For all the years
OF the family life It has been the practice
to lay down in q barrel OF brine, in winter,
q quantity Of beef and pork for summer use.
And the good wife has been envied greatly
by her friends and ~neighbors because Of the
high quality Of her corned beef and salt
pork. Last week a brother Of this good wife
came from an interior town to visit her and
his. sister told him II he would 20 down into

THE INDIANS
THANKSGIVING

HE interest in Thanksgiving day
and it's observance is just as in.
| tense these days among the res.
ervation Indians as in college
towns where great football
games are scheduled to occur, saws the
New York Times. Especially is this
true in the southwest, where the In.
dams have had an opportunity to be-
come thoroughly civilized Of late wears.
The white people find nc more enioy-
ment in this day of universal good cheer
than do these same dusky redskins.
1t is day of feasting, playing and
gambling, with big dance at night
Such sport only comes once a wear to
them nowadays, when they have had
to forsake the scalping knife for the
pillow. Their wild nature rebelled at
the idea of work, and it has been with
much difficulty that the government
agents have made farmers ont Of tho
young braves. A day Of rest and
amusement is considered good for their
better nature. and the government au-
thorities are willing that THANKSGIVING

reservation wards of the nation.
The Kiowas and Comanches who
have but recently been placed on al
lotments, will have forsaken many of
their wild plans of amusement this
Thanksgiving. owing to the fact that
they have been cut off the free list of
beef issues. They have arranged to
draw grass money on Thanksgiving,
and goodly portion of this will be
spent in purchasing food for a grand
feast. At night they will take part
IN green corn dance, at which pray
ers will be offered to the Great Spirit
for the good crops which they have had
the past season. The spirit of thank
fulness pervades the Indian celebra-
tons.
The Osages hold big feast at Paw
huska, their capital city. All members
of the tribe are invited to take part in
the festivities. At the beginning and
end of each meal-and there are many
the aged missionary who lives among
them is invited to deliver a short pray

good things which the agent has sent
to them. The food is cooked by the
squaws, and, while it could be pre-
pared in a much cleaner and more
tasteful manner, the cooking is an i'm

gone
The Apaches and Cheyennes are in
the habit of holding a pony smoke.
Often the Osages indulge in this ex-
pensive festival. A pony smoke is
friendly meeting of two tribes and is
especially appropriate for the occasion.
The tribe giving the smoke is sup
posed to bear all of the expenses. They
provide the best game and vegetables
in the market for their guests, and at
the end of the first days meeting they
present good pony to the head of
each family visiting them. AS tribe
consists of from 800 to 500 families,
the expenses soon mount high. The
Osages. being the richest reservation
Indians there are today, can better at
ford to hold pony smokes, and. COM
bined with their feast day, they gen.
orally invite several hundred guests
from the POncas. Tonkawas and sur
rounding tribes. Those accepting the
ponies are supposed to return the gift
with equally expensive ones later on.
but few of them can do so.
The Poncas hold every Thanksgiving
as beef issue day. If the agent does
not come forward and present them
with herd of cattle for this occasion,
they mortgage their property and buy
cattle Of some neighboring ranchmen.
A beef issue is the most typical of the
redskin and also the most picturesque
Of Indian Thanksgiving celebrations.
For years the government has forbid
den the issue of beef after the manner
of an old time issue, but on special
occasions they are allowed the amuse-
ment of killing their own meat. 1t Is
said by the government officers who
succeeded in having the practice stop
ped that beef issue tends to make the
Indian wilder and more difficult to
civilize.
A hundred cattle are turned loose in
large pasture. The young men of the
tribe are mounted OH mustangs. and
have shining field guns. With the good
wishes of the sQuaws and medicine
men ringing in their ears they ride out
to kill the cattle. The beasts have no
chance for life whatever. The chase
Is accompanied by an undue amount
Of wild yelling, while excitement grows
intense in the camp. The smell Of fresh
blood makes the sQuaws wild, as it
were. After all of the cattle have been
shot down then the killers give sig
nal which means that all of the tribe
are at liberty to rush forth and secure
their portion. a half beef is awarded
to each squaw. The beef is cleaned
and cooked on fire on the open plain.
while the medicine men dance their APP
prevail and the warriors sing in their
glee. The feast follows, with more
dancing, and the whole day is thus
spent, ending late at night with final

ment of these complaints is anything
but cheap. OF course, no fancier Of
canaries would be content with one

and the cost of some of these will GER

dollars per annum could easily be spent
in this manner without very big show
for the money.-London Taller.

The Worlds LarEest Crab.

How would you like to have crab
like this squeezing your toe when you
go bathing? The gigantic Japanese
crab, measuring twelve feet, is proba-
bly, the largest crustacean in the world.
The specimen is type Of the spider
crab, which inhabits the waters Of the
group Of islands forming the empire
of Japan. The body portion is the size
Of half bushel measure, while its
two great arms or "feelers'' could cas-.
lily cncircle the figure Of man. Its
eight arms or legs resemble huge
bamboo poles and are extremely elias
tic, and if strung into one line they
would reach to the top of four story
apartment building. One of the ex-
Gaordinary peculiarities Of this crab
is the faculty of assuming a disguise
by aftixing pieces of seaweed and
sponges to the body.
