ANCIENT INDIAN RELICS.


According to Charles Gibson, InSsssa
journalist Of Eufaula, the two most
sacred relics Of The Creek or Muskogee
tribe are in the keeping Of the To-ka-
par-chee clan. One Of them IL the treaty
made between the Indians and Great
Britain in the time Of George H.. says
the Kansas City Journal. When . GUS
todian Of the relic is dying he appoints
his successor by viii. The Indians look
upon this relic as next to brass or copper
plates that To-ka-par-chees own
these plates are hard to describe. as they
are kept In = very sacred vault where
none are allowed to enter except the
medicine man or some old chief. The
history OF these plates Is as follows:
One old. medicine man Who had been
noted for being the greatest among the
Greeks. before dying, told some Of the
other medicine men that SO many days
after the day Of his death. II they would
meet him on the highest mountain peak
naming the mountAin-hew would bring
them something very sacred and 1t would
strengthen their medicine and add to
their happiness. The medicine men then
appointed day and waited. When the
last stick was thrown AMY each wendell
hisway to the top Of the mountain. They
waited long and well. When the sun
became low In the west great snake
came from the west and darkened the
country around about the mountain.
The medicine men were frightened, but
stood their ground. Then came claps Of
thunder and flashes Of lightning that al
most blinded the old men. Then dark
cloud appeared. and all ut once there
appeared out Of the dark cloud bundle.
which was handed to the old men. The
hands holding the bundle were all that
could be seen, and resembled the hands
OF the old medicine man who had died.
As soon ~ the package containing the
plates Was delivered the cloud moved
away and there was = clear sky. The
old men took their charge back to their
square house and hid II until the time Of
their annual celebration, or greenScorn
dance. when the plates were introduced
Into their festivities That Is some thou
sand years ago, and they are still in pos
session of the Creeks.
The custodians OF these plates are
what are called the Wild clan. There are
. great many Of these plates, and the
largest ones have characters Of some
kind on them. They are exhibited only
on state occasions. once year. Each
one has = beautiful sound or ring. It Is
said, when they are used in the dance,
making sweet music After the dance
they are taken ont. one to each man. and
are secured very bright and placed away
until the next year. It IL said that In
the polishing process the work hands
are very cautious, rs It II known that

LIGHTNING PHOTOGRAPHS.
