WHERE THE GIRLS
DANCE WITH THE
NORTHERN LIGHTS
The Merry Games of the Point
Barrow Children, Who Are
Uncle Sans Own.

Uncle Sans children now live in ev-
cry cline, from lands near the Equa-
tor to regions well up toward the
of his children cannot imagine a land
where ice and snow are unknown and
the fields and trees are green the year
round, so the children of the tropics
cannot understand a land where the
water turns solid for a great part of
the year, trees are unknown and the
snow never disappears entirely from
the race of nature.
Most northern of all Uncle Sans
children are the Eskimos who live
around Point Barrow, a cape which
juts out into the Polar Sea beyond the
Arctic circle. There it is night all win
ter long and day all summer long, and
each season is about six months long
So far from becoming morose and
gloomy because of their dreary sur
roundings and their long nights, the
Point Barrow children are particular
ly bright and lively and full of mis-
chief and play.
1t is in this region that:
The Northern Lights come down o.
nights
To dance with the houseless snow.
And the girls go out and dance with
them. Frequently, in the long night of
winter. the frozen sea and the snow
covered land will be lit up by the most
magnificent displays of the Aurora
Borealis, or North Light. 1t will shoot
and radiate in shafts of purple, gold,
rose and white from directly over
head, or from some point down near
the horizon: it will wave in great
clouds and banners of tinted light
about the sky, or it will hang in great
curtains OF gold and white, edged with
purple or rose Colo curtains hanging
in folds and moving with a waving
motion and a rustling sound, as If they
were of silk and were being shaken.
All sorts Of wild forms does the Au-
rora take, and many colors does IL
show while il dances, Pickering, wav-
ing, swapping and cracking.
1t is then that the Point Barrow
girls go out to sing their song to the
Northern Lights and dance with them
on the frozen snow.
They are warmly clothed in gar
ments made of the skin OF the north
ern deer or the Arctic fox. There Is
an upper garment something like a
sweater with a hood to IL. skin trous-
ers and deerskin boots coming 10 the
knee.
They wear deerskin mittens, ana

when they sing their song to the Au-
rora and dance with 1T, they frequently
attach the tail of blue or white fox to
their belt behind.
Each dancer clenches the fist, and
bending the elbows strikes them
against the sides of the body, keeping
time to the song and stamping vigor-
ously with the right foot while spring
ing up and down with the left knee.
The song has a large, number of
stanzas aAd begins "Kioya Ike, kioya
ke," which means hail to the North
ern Lights"
when the Aurora is bright and In
an especially dancing mood the chill
dren will often keep up the song and
dance for hours at time.
In winter the Point Barrow children
have a SNOWFALL game which they play
with their feet They wet some snow
and make a ball about as big as two
fists.
The cold is so intense that the ball
Immediately becomes solid ice. Then
the player balances the ball on the
toes of one foot and with a kick and
a jump throws it to the other foot,
which catches it and throws it back.
Some of the players are so expert
that they will keep this up for num-
Der of strokes without letting the ball
fall to the ground.
The children of this "tip-end" of
Uncle Sans land also amuse them
selves in winter by sliding down the
steep banks of frozen snow which
form under the cliffs along the shores
of the frozen sea. They use no sIeds
or toboggans, or even boards in this
sport, but slide down the steep declivi-
ties on their knees!
Kneeling down and sitting well
orra mir thafr-
ankles, they go shooting along down
great steep hills of snow, laughing
and shouting, and now and then losing
their balance and getting tumble
which sends them rolling In a heap
to the foot of the snow hill
This sport is naturally hard on the
knees of the boys deerskin breeches,
and the Point Barrow mothers do
not encourage 1t.
Both boys and girls at Point Bar
row are fond of playing football, but
they seem to play 1t with no sort Of
order or system. They simply get an
old mitten or old boot, and stuff 1t
with bits of waste deerskin or rags.
and then kick it about with merry
shouts and in great confusion.
The children are very fond of dane

forward and moving slowly around in
time to the music. turning from side
to side and rolling her eyes flercely.
After dancing a while at the station
the chilren took their tomato cans
over to the village and danced and
sang there for hours.
The little Eskimos of Point Barrow
have a most mischievaous little instru-
ment which they call a ''mitigligaun. !"
II is to the Eskimo boy what the beam
snapper is to the white boy. 1t is
made of a piece of stiff whalebone
about five inches long and half an inch
wide. 1t is narrowed off and bent up
for about an inch at one end. On the
upper side Of this bent-up end is a
little hollow large enough to hold a
small pebble and the other end is cut
into sharp teeth. This Is purely an
instrument of mischief, and many a
little Eskimo boy is compelled to re-
tire with his mother into one OF their
snow huts for a painful interview be-
cause of the reckless manner in which
he uses his pebble-snapper.
The end of the mitigligaun which
has the sharpened teeth is used by the
scratching hair out of mans skin
coat when he is looking the other way.
The children who frolic by the
shores of the frozen sea and dance
with the Northern Lights even have
mechanical toys among their play
things. One is a wooden doll repre-
senting a man dressed in skins. He
holds drum in one hand and a stick
in the other. The arms are made of
whalebone, and by pressing them to-
gether at the shoulders the figure can
be made TO move as II beating the
drum.
Then they have little toy kaiaks, or
canoes, in which are seated dolls with
paddles in their hands. BY pulling a
string the doll is made to move it's
head from side to side and make a
motion as If padding.
The girls are fond of playing cats
cradle. Two little girls win sit In one
of the underground houses, or in one
of the huts made of frozen snow, and,
by the light of stone lamp fed by
seal oil, will play at this game for
hours making all sorts of complicated
figures with the string
The favorite figure, and a difficult
one, is the representation of a rein

DESPERATE STRUGGLE.
Two Alleged Postomce Robbers are
Captured ON N Train by Policemen
| -Am0ther Desperndo Escaped.

lspheming, Mich, Oct. 24.-After a
desperate struggle with trio of men
suspected of robbing the Superior,
Wis, postotiice of $4,000 in stamps
and money, six Ishprming policemen
wounded and captured two of the
men on train which arrived here
Friday. Marshal Fandrem was advised
that three men suspected of the post
Office robbery were on the train and
that the conductor would identify
them. The marshal and five officers
went to West Ishpeming, where the
train was boarded. The marshal and
two officers took the rear of the
coach and Officer Patrick Collins with
squad guarded the front.
The suspects were on the alert and
two of them began firing at the Off
GERS at the rear end of the train as
soon as they entered. Meanwhile Col
Inns and his assistants had entered the
front of the car. All were driven
back by two of the desperadoes, who
threatened to shoot if they advanced
another foot. Collins and his men re-
treated. Finding the rear door of
the car blocked, the robbers ran to
the front, where they again met Col
Inns. One of them raised his revolver
to shoot Collins, but the officer fired
first, sending bullet through the
mans hand.
The wounded man threw up his
hands, begging the officers to not kill
him. Meanwhile shots were being eX-
changed between Fandrem and "a sec
ond suspect. Finally a bullet from
the marshafs revolver lodged in the
suspects back and he surrendered.
The third suspect escaped to the
woods. Officers are now after him.
About 500 was found in the pockets
of the two men. Much of this was in
small change
