There are four girls to q side. The
leader of one side takes the three
sticks in her left hand, holds them also
with the right, leans over the center
stone, and with quick jerk throws
them down upon the rock. AS they
fall every eye eagerly scans them, and
in a moment the voices call out zone"
"three," "ten," or whatever the num-
Der may be. The thrower places her
counting stick one, three or ten points
ahead, while the leader of the other
side makes her throw. Her count is
recorded. Now the game may be once
around, or five times around the circle,
and as it is purely game of chance,
there is no knowing how it is going to
come out. And if it goes against them,
how excited they get. I have seen
players rise in their anger and dash
the sticks upon the center rock in un-
controlled fury. Otter the players will
rub the sticks together, breathe on
them, kiss and caress them in order to
induce them to fall so as to count
''high." Then, if they fall ''low," they
will throw stones at them, chide or re-
buke them, and, am ashamed to con-
fess it, sometimes swear at them.
Sometimes the sticks will fall by the
side of a rock or stone, SO that it is
neither white side up nor red up. Now
it may be that if it can be made to fall
"white," it will change count OF
"two" to a count of "ten." Who can
wonder then if the excited player

Then perhaps, one of the men who
is passing; or who lives close at hand,
comes and takes a hand. He sits or
stands and attempts to listen at first,
while all the players yell at him at
once. He tries to get the straight of
the story by insisting upon one talk
ing at a time. One begins, but others
break in to correct her. At last, de-
spairing of getting at the facts, he
gives a kick, which demolishes the

he bids them begone and quit playing

HINT FROM DICKENS.
In an Amusing Way the story-writss
Tells Us That Thought without
Action IL Waste.

Those who have read Nicholas
Nickleby will remember the school at
Dotheboys hall, and it's master, Mr..
Squeers. Mr.. Squeers' method of in.
struction, it will be recollected, was
to connect thought with action. "Spell
horse Horse. That's right. Now,
go out and rub him DOWN. Or, 'Spell
clean Clean. Now you take and
clean the winder, and then you'll not
forget it!'
Mr.. Squeers' other met hods with his
pupils were such that his system. as
a whole, was deplorable in it's results.
But in this one respect he had per-
ceived a great truth about young
minds-that to know thing should be
to put it into use. Education, it it
teaches us only to think and dream. in
stead of to do, is fiat failure. The
Young man who can spell duty, and
then do it, is better educated than tho
one who translates Greek into Eng
fish at sight, but fails to translate
thought into practical useful action
for himself and others.
1.-THE end of man." says Carlyle, "is
an action, not thought" knowledge
is power only as it transmutes itself
in act, The true thinker sets things
moving, and leaves behind him some
thing accomplished, something added
to the worlds stock. And psychologists
tell us that "barren impulse" use.
full thought never put into deed. recoils
on the mind, and weakens it by just 50
much; while every active impulse OF
good, carried ont, reaeys for strsagth
and sanity. Dickens has given US,
laughingly, valuable hint. We win
do well to take it.-Wellspriug.

old proverb. But how old is
the saying? Long before language had
it's being our ancestors played and had
fun to relieve the monotony of their
lives. The Indians, later develop
ments, did the same. We to-day keep
it up, and as we wander into the wiids
and find the Indians of to-day, we dis
cover that they are as full of fun and
frolic as we now are, or perhaps the
monkeys used to be. Of course, to
describe all the games have seen at
different times among the Indians
would be to fill large volume. can
give only two or three. The Navahoes
of Arizona and New Mexico have a
game which finds its counterpart
throughout the civilized world. The
Havasupais of the Canyon of the Blue
Water play the same game, and as my
photograph illustrates them, I will
describe their Playing of it instead OF
the Navahoes. They call it Hui-ta-
qui-chi-ka pronounced we-tah-quee-
chi-kah). A circle of stones is made
Gao stones), divided into four sets of
ten. In the center of this circle large
fat stone is placed. As many play as
can sit around the circle, or as few as
two. There must be two sides. Each
side has counting stick-any twig
will do-with which it counts the
stones of the circle according to the
numbers it wins. One side counts
around the circle to the right, the 9th
er to the left. The 'sdice" are three
sticks about two inches long. These
are painted red on one side. The other
side is white. Three whites count ten;
three reds five; one white, two reds
three; two whites, one red, two.
Now we are ready for the game,

for the red paint used on the acorns
by the Indians and thus brought the
game home.
returned sailor will teach his friends
and his boys (f he have any every
thing of interest he has learned on
his voyages. Hence one lad learning
the game would soon teach it to his
comrades, and in short time it
would become common.
Another game, played by the Man
dams, and also by the Navahoes, whom
I have seen enjoying it again and
again, is called by the former
"tchungkee," and by the latter "nan-
zhoh." The implements needed are
hoop, and each player must have q
long pole. The Navahoes generally
make theirs of alder, each natural
fathom long, and in two pieces.
These pieces overlap and are tied to-
gether with long strip of rawhide
or buckskin from which pendants
hang thus adding to the picturesque
ness of the game. Other small leath-
er pendants are tied upon the pole q
suita BILE distance apart. Sides are
chosen, and any number can play.
The two leaders start off. The hoop
is trundled ahead of them. The skill
of the game consists in the players
so throwing their sticks that as the
hoop stops it will fall over upon one
or the other with one of the little
leather nobs or pendants inside the
hoops circle. These have different
counts, one, three, five or ten. II
either player fails to score the next
man of his side advances. Each one
who scores throws the hoop and con-
tinues to play SO long as he wins. Il
is far more interesting and excit-
ing game than this meager descrip.
ton suggests, and when the betting
is heavy, as it often is, the results
are as serious as those of the great
horseraces of the civilized whites.

TIE yishinam indians Of Californis

The Nishinam Indians Of California
used to play a game called "ha." 1t
is still played exactly as described
by Powers: 'The ha is q game OF
dice, played by men and women, two.
three or four together. The dice,
four in number, consist OF two
acorns split lengthwise into halves.

painted red or black. They are
shaken in the hands and thrown
into a wide, fat basket, woven
in ornerental patterns, sometimes
worth ST.. One paint and three
whites, ere vice versa, score MOTH
ing; two of each, score one; four
alike score four. The thrower keeps
on throwing until he makes blank
throw, when another takes the dice.
When all the players have stood their
turn, the one who has scored most
takes the stakes, which in this game
are generally small, say 'bit" (121a
or Is cents). AS the Indians say:
"This is quick game, and with good
luck one can very soon break an
| other
Now, strange to say, Mr.. r. E. G.
| Stearns discovered that fifty or
more years ago this same game was
played by the boys of Boston, the
dice, however, being the money-cowry
shell, cyproea moneta, instead of the
split acorns.
They called the game ''props." Mr..
Stearns then asks the very pertinent
questions: Did the pale faces of the
Atlantic side learn the game from
| the red rlep Of the west coast, OF
vice versa? Did the little invention
have a separate and Independent
birth in each of these widely remote
regions?
Then he goes on to show that the
game was undoubtedly brought from
the Indians by the white traders who
visited California from 1891 to 1916
and later. Readers of Dana's "Two
Years Before the Mast" will remem-
Der how he describes the trading
that went on during those days, and
it is most probable that the white
men, coming in contact with the In.
dams, saw them play the game, and
as acorns would soon be destroyed,
they used the shells they found there
and which were even easier to obtain
than acorns, stuck piece of red
sealing wax into them as substitute

But where was Soledad?

1t came Federico's time to strike.
"But where is Soledad?" all were
now crying.
'She will come" said Benjamin.
But he could stand no more; he grew
dizzy and went away.
Amid shouts of merriment, Federico
tied the cloth about his eyes. The
crowd gave way, leaving the rooms
center free, making circle of excit-
ed faces and many colors all about
him. Yonder by the farthest door
stood Roberto. He did not grow diz-

Once the strong arm of Federico
struck out with the stick and hit the
air. A cheer went up. He struck
again, but only tore away the poor
dolls skirt. He raised his arm and
struck once more, and crash was
heard. The pieces flew wild, but the
