STRANGE CUSTOMS OF oroEs.
Eat Seeds of Pond LIIIes-Their Fav.
orite Meat PoIecat.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Matt Duhr, an Oklahoma Indian au-
thority. visited the Otoe tribe near Red
Fork recently, and these are some of his
comments:
THE Otoe dancing hall Is fit place for
heather to worship in. 1t Is a horribly
decorated round house. The orchestra
consisted of one thing. by them called a
drum. Pounding with sledge hammer
on the bottem OF an empty pork barrel
would make just as doleful noises.
THE pagan religious services last week
were suddenly and roughly disturbed by
a redskin espying Jack rabbit in the dis
lance. Most OF the Indians forgot their
worship and chased the long-eared scamp.
They pursued IL for about four hours
when the cunning animal took refuge in
the thickets on the margin of Red Rock
Creek
Lots of the Otoe squaws are now gath
ering the seeds OF pond lilies and dig the
Large quantities OF the tender pond lily
pods are gathered when green and are
boiled and greatly relished. Poecat veni-

meats eaten by the Otoes They never

ration. There is In our gospel enough OF
the plain and practical to lead us to
Christ. Beyond that there are mysteries,
and we do not deny ii, but In those very
mysteries there are truths to which some
sense deep within our nature responds
with certainty as strong and as Inn
pregnable as the certainty that we derive
from our sense of sight and touch. The
existence and presence of Jesus are no
mere phantasy to His people. II Is Nv
ing, actual presence as real to them and
as recognizable as the presence OF wife

In the darkness though you cannot see
her form. They are conscious that he is

The pastor was quick to note the failure

The usher, his heart in his work, re-
