Ate Their Gods.

The gods of most South American
tribes of Indians are generally looked
upon as sacred, but when the gods be-
come a nuisance 1t is time to put an
end to them; at least, that is what a
certain tribe along the Zabari river
think. They worship the iguana and
monkey, but as soon as the iguana
started eating chickens they thought
1t time to stop worshiping him and
to eat him in place of the chickens he
had eaten This they do, and they pre-
fer iguana stew to chicken frfcassee.
