STRANGE CUSTOMS OF OTOES.
Eat Seeds of Pond Lilies; Their Fla.
vOrite Meat Is POlecat--An Ex.
citing Rabbit Hunt.

Matt Duhr, an Oklahoma Indian au-
thority, visited the Otoe tribe near Red
Fork recently, and these, says the Kan
sas City Journal, are some of his COM
ments:
"The Otoe dancing hall is fit place
for heather to worship in. 1t is hor-
ribly decorated round house. The or
chestra consisted of one thing, by them
called drum. Pounding with a sledge
hammer on the bottom of an empty pork
barrel would make just as doleful noises.
"The pagan religious services were
suddenly and roughly disturbed by a
redskin espying jack rabbit in the
distance. Most of the Indians forgot
their worship and chased the long
cared scamp. They pursued it for
about four hours, when the cunning ami
NAL took refuge in the thickets on the
margins of Red Rock creek.
"Lots of the Otoe squaws are now
gathering the seeds of pond lilies and
dig the nicely tasting roots of the ia
nous plants. Large quantities of the
tender pond lily pods are gathered when
green and are boiled and greatly rel
ished. Polecat venison appears to be
one OF the favorite meats eaten by the
Otoes. They never eat possum or cells
and give pretty good heather reasons
for their repugnance to or generation of
these creatures.
"Faw-Faw, chief of the Otoes, dresses
in costly civilized apparel, a huge tur-
key feather adorns his enormous
slouched hat, and each of his cheeks has
a large blue star tattooed therein"

MEALS TAKEN IN DRINKS.
People Who PatrOnize the Soda FOun.
tains Want Either Som hing Sub
stantia7 or Something Novel.

Everyone interested in Che matter of
sane living must wonder at the things
the average person drinks. It's ques-
ton whether people seek to save time
by drinking foods or are merely crafty
ing their TASTE Half an hour passed at
any well-patronized soda fountain, says
the Philadelphia Record, will show the
great majority to be indulging in egg
mixtures, or others in which fruits, ice
cream or other food is placed.
A cup of rich chocolate is a small
meal. It's a wonder people live at all,
considering the insanity displayed in
eating and drinking. AS for the crav-
ing for novelty, the average person will
eat or drink anything he has never
seen, tasted or heard of before. Ex-
pert and lightning mixers of drinks
count that day lost whose low descend
ing sun sees no new drink achieved.
They add the name to their list, and
every other person jumps at the chance
to taste this new mystery. The good
part of it is that so many live
through it.

TRAINING A BRONCHO.
Real Education Begins After He ue.
Been "BrOken"-"Busters" Are
the Heroes of the Plains.

After being broken" the bronco's
real education begins, writes Minnie J.
Reynolds, in the Four-Track News.
He must learn to wheel or to stop in
stantly, while rushing at full speed, by
the gentle pressure of a finger on his
rein. He must learn to brace himself
and stand stiff when COW is roped that
she may not pull him. He must learn
to skillfully avoid an enraged "cow
brute" rushing full at him, intent upon
impaling him upon her horns. Many a
man who can break a horse has not the
sense to educate him afterwards; and
some broncos, left too long upon the
range, until their wicked ways are
fixed by age, can never be broken.
Bronco busting" is fascinating occu-
patton, and the best man at the trade in
cow country is something such hero
as the king of the ring in bull-fghting
countries. But it is killing work, and
If no crazy BRONX" fresh from the hills,
puts the horse-breaker out of business,
rheumatism, settling in racked joints
and muscles, does the job before many
years.

The madness of suicide as a relief
from mental anguish was wildly illus
trated years ago by an incident which
occurred in an Italian town. Moretti,
a tailor, was sent to prison on a charge
of fraud. His sweetheart called upon
the police officer to ask how long Mo-
retti was likely to be confined and was
told that it would be probably for
many years. The policeman had been
instigated 10 say this by the girls
mother, who disliked the match. Over
whelmed with grief and thereby driven
to despair, the poor girl put an end to
her life by poison. A few days later
Moretti was released from custody,
the accusation against him having
been proved false. He returned home
to find his affianced bride a corpse
Frenzied at the sight, he, too, destroy
ed himself. The lie wrought double
tragedy.

A New Yellow Peril.

A correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco ArgOnaut who dates his letter
Kobe, Japan, claims to have discov-
cred very real yellow peril. He found
shoe factory at Osaka turning out
10000 pairs of shoes a month! 1t was
using machinery made in the United
States. The writer's idea of the peril
is this:
These people import our machinery and
have cheap labor, and these two things
combined FORM according to my ideas, the
real yellow peril. 1t is not the japanese
officers drilling Chinese hordes in the art
of warfare, but Japanese brain using our
machinery and conquering our markets in
the orient-the worlds largest dumping
place at present. wherein I see the peril
which menaces us. The idea was brought
home to me more keenly when repre-
sentative Of a San Francisco hardware
concern sert out here to look into the con-
ditions Of the market" told me he had
