Would you believe that men would

They had never before seen such a
thing. Finally, they waxed curious,
and sent a committee to ask me why
I did it.

l explained. "The Purple Dog affords
no tables, and the whisky is about ten
times stronger than that they hand

there is a man in this city who is a

Grant. Under the terms of the sur

Mrs. Clay thought not, and was sure
that she would have heard of it If her
husband had been brigadier. But
Gen. Garland said: II remember very
distinctly that in the last days of the

tonight, as 1 understand he is going

A little woman Turned toward the
selfish woman as the car gave an unu-
sually drunken lurch and said timdly:
''Is this seat taken?" The selfish
woman looked ignoringly out of the
window, relates the New York Herald.
A man with a child in his arms next

about it, but calmly seated himself on
the ragged edge of nothing, which was
all the space left by the selfish woman.
The car bumped the baby against the

father braced himself for a hard push
against the other occupant of the seat.
But she braced back.

ing Devices.
Especial Arizona Letter,1

GSIHE Pima Indians are not the
M & only people who have gained u
eA name by mistake. The name
Pima is simply nonsense, and if the
old Spanish writer's who first used
it had sense enough to investigate
little farther it would never have
been written. A wise old Pima thus
explained how it occurred. Said he:
when the white men first came and
asked my people who they were, they
did not fully understand what the
question meant, and so they replied:
'Pimaj.' CT do not understand!) And
as they invariably give this reply to
the same question, the Spaniards
wrote the answer that way, and so it
has remained ever since"
The Yokuts, of California, gained
their American name, so l am re-
Gently informed, in much the same
manner. When the people who lived
above them were asked: "And who
lives below here?" the answer was
given "My-net Yokut," which means
many people, signifying that peo-
pie of many different tongues anG
speech lived there. The answer was
taken as a name, and it has ever
since been applied to the people who
live on the Tule River reservation
and thereabouts. The real name OF
the Pimas, by which they designate
themselves, is Au-au-tem, which
means 1.-The men" or ''the people"
From the earliest years that they
have been known to and by the
white man, they have always been
kindly disposed and friendly. When
Zakis, Serbs, Apaches, Mohaves, Wal
lapais and Navahoes all around them
were warning with the hated white
intruder, they were attending peace
ably to their own avocations as farm
ers, basket and pottery makers, etc,
and never joined in the general cru
SADIE against the white man.
Though there is but one agency,
the Pimas are located in two sec
tions, viz, the Sacaton and the ella
Crossing. The latter is the smaller
portion of the reservation, and is
near to Phoenix, the capital city of
the territory of Arizona. 1t is
pleasant drive from Phoenix, over
the ridge into the ella valley, to the
reservation, and anyone interested in
Indian life will enjoy day spent
there.
According to recent statistics, there

quiped her business. She told her
story as gracefully as possible, stated
that she had just come from the pres
ident, who had taken great interest in
the case, and presented the order of
the president for the release of her
husband.
Secretary Stanton snatched the or
der from her hand, read it, grunted an
grily, tore the order into two pieces,
and dropped it into the waste basket
beside him. He sneered, made no re
mark, turned to his desk, paid no more
attention to her, and she was shown to
the door.
The beautiful end accomplished
woman who had been born and reared
to society leadership felt the snub and
insult mbre keenly than would zone
unaccustomed to courtesies, and it
was difficult to console her. Gen. Gar
Lard thought rapidly, as he endeav-
ored to remember where he had last
seen Gen. Clay, feeling that there was
something he ought to remember. At
last he arose rapidly and said: "Mad-
anne, have found the solution of your
difficulty. Be Of good cheer, for I know
how to secure the release Of ysur hus-

to help me in securing photographs
and he did not even wish me to ask
him to let his interpreter go with
me, as the people were SO opposed
to the camera that any attempt
would materially interfere with his
missionary work. Knowing that
what he said was true l saw that I
must seek some other method. When
Mr.. Wynkoop asked me to preach to
his Indians the following evening
Sunday l gladly consented, and
there saw what l hoped would be q
successful solution to the problem.
When evening came the little church
was full. 1t had been announced that
I would tell about the religious be-
liefs of other Indians, and l had as
interested lot of hearers as lever
had in my life. l told them of the
snake dance, the basket and flute
dances of the Hops, the Wapala or
peach dance of the Havasupais, the
origin myths and legends of Nava-
hoes, Wallapais and others. In the
course of my remarks [ explained
that it was my custom among all
these people to make 'sun pictures"
photographed them, which l then
showed to their white brothers in
the ''land of the sun rise sea"-the
east-in my lectures, etc.
Then I proceeded, "And tomorrow
and the next day l hope to come to
your homes to see you at work. I
want to tell those white men who
say you are lazy how untruthful they
are, and if they challenge me L want
to show them your sun pictures, SO
that 1 can say, Here is Pima

digging a ditch, or here is a Pima

or buckskin, or pounding mesquite
or grinding corn They tell me that
some Indians are averse to having
their sun pictures taken, but these
are only foolish people, like silly
children. Some say they fear it will
harm them. Here are photographs
of scores of Indians and they are
as well as ever. White men and
women go ana pay money 10 nave
their pictures taken. Some believe
that the sunpicture will prevent their
entering the other world when they
die, but your minister, Mr.. Wynkoop,
will tell you that I speak the truth
when [ say that is all foolish nom
sense. Now l believe that when I
get through speaking tonight all Of
you will come to me and say some
thing like this: 4 am going to be
thrashing wheat tomorrow. Come
and make my sunpicture!'
And, sure enough, it worked like
a charm. John Thomas and fully
score of leading men and wcmen
came and asked me to visit them the
next day and the result was that I
secured over 200 very fine negatives.

such a supposition would be correct,
that. however, is not the meaning OF
the name. Like many white per-
son, John Thomas has a vivid imagi-
nation as to his ''insides," and hav-
ing felt some queer movement there
at some time, one of the old medicine
men made him believe he was suffer-
ing from something which had
grown within him "a lizard, a frog,
horned toad, or something of SINH
lar nature. Hence the name.
He and his assistants had con-
structed an irrigation canal two or
three miles in length, which was to
take out water from the ella river
and convey it to their lands. The
work I saw them do was the con-
struction of the dam, and right heart
lily they worked at it. 1t was a very
picturesque sight, for there was va
riety in the workers. Some were old

men, who wore their hair long, way
down almost to their waists, and
fixed in loose strands like black rope.
One old man came in in top hat
that might have belonged to some
member of an old-time Cleveland
club. He was evidently very proud
of it, and insisted on wearing it when
l made his photograph.
Photographers generally have
found it rather hard to get the Pimas
to allow them to make their pictures
and it may prove interesting to re-
late how l got my fine and extensive
set of negatives. 1t was Saturday
when I arrived at ella Crossing, and
my friend at once took me to the
home of the Presbyterian mission
airy, Rev. D. NJ. Wynkoop. Here we
talked over the situation. Mr.. Wynn
koop said it was impossible for him

in my house one Sunday afternoon, and
