ORDER OF. THE RED EAGLE.
Something About the German Order
Recently Bestowed by Emper
or William on Americans,

In view of the numerous decOra-
tions conferred on Americans, it will
be Of interest to learn :. something
about the history of the particular
orders bestowed. The Order of the
Red Eagle, which many Americans re-
ceived, was originally established in
1908 by the hereditary prince Of
George Wilhelm Of Brandenburg-
Anspach, under the name .'Ordre de
Ia Slncerite" and Order Of the Red
Eagle. When in 1871 the markgrave-
dom became part of Prussia, the
Order of the Red Eagle was also tax
en- over by the state. King Fried
rich Wilhelm II. made it the second
order of Importance of the kingdom.
Friedrich Wilhelm III. in 1918
changed the statutes and also the
signs of the order. Under Friedrich
Wilhelm ~. and the late King Will
helm, whom his grandson calls the
great, the statutes were also extend
ed. The order consists Of five classes,
which are: Grand cross, first class,
second class with star and without
starr, third and fourth class; be-
sides these classes, large number
Of gradations and variations exist,
says an eastern exchange.
The decorations of the grand cross
consist Of a large eight-pointed white
St. Johns cross with gold setting.
The crosses of the first, second and
third class, which. differ only in size,
consist of smooth, white 5ename1ed
cross, inlaid with gold, a. white gold
shield in the middle shows in front
a crowned red eagle bearing a green
wreath in his talons.. The cross of
the fourth class has the same form,
the arms Of the same, however, are
not enameled but of silver, only the
middle shield is, enameled and like
the other classes
An order which many of the Amer
leans received is the royal crown or
der, the youngest order Of Prussia
It was established in 1861 by King
Wilhelm of Prussia, when in com
memoration of his coronation. The
order is Of the same rank as the Or
der Of the Red Eagle, and also divid-
ed into four classes. The decora-
tion consists of a plain white enam-
eled cross, having a double golden
setting. The middle shield has in
front a golden crown surrounded by
blue enameled crown, bearing the
inscription, God with u.s. on the
back is the name of the royal found
er, w. r., and the date Of the found
ing of the order, October 10, 1861.
The orders Of the first, second and
third class differ only in size, while
the order of the fourth class is not
enameled, and consists Of simple
golden cross.

WEST VALLEY.

Well, election is now over, and it
is only question which candidate
gets the most votes and the people
are themselves again.
1t appears that the people gener-
ally do not follow party lines as a
rule now, but more according to
the candidates personally, whether
Or not their fitness is taken seri-
ously into consideration is more
doubtful.

election returns, the day after cleo

Buying Speed.

An old colored man had mule
that would not move for him. He
pulled and dragged his mule until
he was exhausted, and finally he
sat down and said: Well, old fell

and a thought struck him. He
went across and he said: HAS yo'
got anything dat will make dat mule
OBJ mine go?' The druggist said:
| don t know; can try It," He
came out and punched little medi-
cine into the mules side. The mule
commenced to wiggle around, and
finally started over the side of the
hill at good pace. Sambo watched
him for a moment or two, and then
he ran into the drug store, saying:
Mister, how much yo' cha'ge for
dat medicine?" Ten cents. Has

GREEN-CORN DANCE.
An Annual Celebration of the Seneca
Indians in the Hills of Their
Reservation,

The annual green-corn dance of the
Seneca Indians was recently held in
the hills of their reservation, IS
miles east of Vinita, I. T. The
Senecas number about 200 people,
and they hold many different cele-
brations during the year, among
which are the strawberry feast, sup
per for the dead, dance for rain, war
dances and the green-corn dance
The dance occurs every year at
the drying up Of the corn, and the
time is fixed by the Seneca Indian
council. The chief and six members
Of the council meet and make prep
arations for the green-corn dance
by appointing medicine man and
a number of hunters to secure wild
meat for the occasion. A hunt is
made, and when the hunters return
the dance takes place.
The Indians meet under their large
shed Or arbor and early in the morn
ing the leader Of the band or medi-
cine man makes a speech, standing
in the center Of the shed, and talks
in a slow and solemn voice. At in
tervals he puts small bits of ground
leaves from a plant sacred to the
senecas on a slow-burning fire, and
as the smoke and the fumes raise
he makes his prayer, believing that
the smoke conveys the words to the
Great Spirit. After these proceed
ings are over dinner is ready and the
meal is served by walters under the
shed. In the afternoon the dance
commences IN the old-fashioned In.
dian style and continues for several
days -. SIS IL. -,

HOW TO PRESERVE YOUTH.
Plenty OF Pure Water, Fresh Fruits

Flesh food, especially old beef or
mutton, carries within it all the ele-
ments OF death and decay. Nuts sup

rived from meat diet and are infinite

standpoint. Fruit and nuts form an
ideal meal. Fruits and vegetables are
valuable factors in retarding age, on
account of the large amount Of water
they contain. AS years increase, the
proportion of solid constituents in the
body is greater than the fluids. This
tends to produce stiffness and dryness.
Plenty of pure water should be taken

sBUMBLEBEE Is VICTIMIZED.
The Common Hive Bee CunninEly
Swtndle,s Him Out of His Hard
Work Proceeds.

The wisdom and the extraordinary
industry of the common hive bee are
known to everybody, but it is not gen.
orally known, even to men who have
made study of insects, how cunning
and revengeful they are and how by
their attentions and compliments they
manage to swindle the big black and
yellow bumblebee out of the results
of his hard day S work at honey gather
ing. His dapper little cousin is an
adept at playing on his weaknesses,
says Nature. The hive bee is a thor
ough city dweller, living in the bee
metropolis which has its bee mechan-
les, builders and nurses, bee boards of
health that look over the ventilation
Of the city and the removal of the gar
bage-bee policemen who guard the
hive against the. moth and other honey
thieves, with the bee queen to rule
over all. The clumsy, ud-buzzing
bumblebee, however, is veritable
farmer and lives with comparatively
small family in his mud farmhouse in
the clover fields, He is such simple
soul that the hive beesFlook upon him
as a hayseed.
Several of them will meet him when
he is on his way home with load of
honey and induce him to stop and have
chat in the Bee language. Then they
pat him and rub him, and the bumble-
bee loves to be tickled. Thus they
work upon his good nature until he ac-5
tually lets them take part of his bag
Of sweets-all of it sometimes. When
he has been robbed in this fashion the
smart hive bees bid him an affactionate
good-by, acting just as if they were
Shaping him on the back and probably
telling him that he must come up to
town and take dinner with them some
day when he is not busy. Who ever
knew bumblebee to have day to
himself? Then the robbers go home
and lay their plumber away, while the
bumblebee sets out for his farmhouse,
congratulating himself upon having
such good friends.
