WHY THE PIGS TAIL is CURLY.

Many years ago, when the world on
which we live was first made. and only
few people lived here. the Good Spirit

ferocious beast. and, stopping. said.
who made you?" my maker IS the
all powerful" answered the beast.
What were you created for7''
ITO eat man and his children" was
the reply.
Then the Good Spirit. knowing this
must be the work OF the bad man OF
evil spirit, told the beast that he was
going TO change him. At this II started
to run away. but the Good Spirit caught
him by the tail. and. wrapping II around
his finger in a curl. pulled him back.
Then he struck him on the snout, and
bending his head to the ground. said;
"Henceforth man shall eat you, End
not you man. You must dig in the earth
with your nose for your living" This is
the reason that the pigs nose inclines
to the ground and his tail is curly.

INDIAN LEGEND OF THE GREAT DIPPER

IT HIS is the story I heard a Siouz
father telling his son upon the
reservation north OF Omaha. II
is a story which had been told him by
his father, who had heard It from his
father, and so on back as long as there
were any Indians.
II you look at the Great Dipper at DIFF
ferent times of the year you will notice
that part OF the handle is not ALWAYS
in sight. At times the end drops be-
low the horizon. and this gave the In
dams their idea for the story. And here
it is Just as 1 heard II:
The Bear is represented by the four
stars which compose the bowl of the
Dipper, and behind II are seven mighty
hunters not afraid TO follow and at
tack IT, small as they are in size. These
seven hunters form the handle of the
Dipper. Close beside the second hunter
is little star. That is a pot Which the
second hunter is carrying on his arm
to cook the bear in when they catch
him.
Just above these hunters is a group OF
stars, something like pocket in shape.
