NOT QUITE THE SAME THING
Little Grace Meant Well, But Her SUBJ

Little Grace Meant Well, But Her Sub
stitute Was Not Welcome.
Grace is 4 years old, and has just
begun her religious education in the
infant class of the Sunday school. 1t
is a. custom of the teacher Of this par
ticular infant class to give each OF her
pupils card containing short text
which the child is expected to memo
rize during the week. In passing
them out she charged each of the
children to be sure to keep them care
fully and return them the next Sun.
day, that they might be passed on to
the other.
Grace is not very careful little
girl, and though fully impressed with
the duty of returning the card, she
neglected to put it in place Of safety,
and even before she had reached home
she discovered that she had lost it.
The thought worried her considerably
at first, until a bright idea came into
her head, and, strange to relate, il
stayed there all the week.
She said nothing to her mother
about the lost card, and the next Sun
day went off to Sunday school happy
as usual. The infant class assembled
and the teacher called on the children
to return their cards. When it came
Grace's turn, she arose and said, TIM
idly: II am sorry, but lost my card
before got home. Papa gave me one
to play with, and. I've brought you
that. It's lots prettier. than the one
lost" And she placed it with the
rest
The young woman who was teach
ing the infant class stared in mute as
/ tonishment, while several unregener
ate adults in different parts Of the
classroom bit their lips to keep from
laughing.
The card which Grace had rendered
was a somewhat dilapidated queen ol
hearts.

excavating the remains of the temple

Campo del Giardino, near the shores

that he hunted up the records and,

decided to search the lake for the

surely 1900 years old and very pos
sibly two or more centuries older
still.
The relics were procured from the
bottom of the lake nine years ago by
Signor Eliseo Borghi, an italian arch
eologist, who was working on his own
account with no assistance from the
government His discoveries made
great sensation and some account OF
them appeared in the newspapers at
the time. : The immediate effect OF
publication was to make the Italian
government step in and Interfere
with all further investigation.
Nemi is a picturesque little town in
the Alban hills, twenty miles out OF
Rome, familiar to all, travellers IN
Italy. It has been painted time and
again by artists, and is known partlc-
ularly through Turner's charming en-
craving. The lake of Nemi is the
most beautiful spot that is seen in the
Allan trip from Rome. 1t is the crater
of an extinct volcano sloplng down
abruptly, so that the water becomes
very deep a few yards from the
shore Close ia the lkes Ee the YES
tiges of an old temple of Diana.
From time immemorial the tradi-
ton has existed among the peasants
of the district that somewhere in the
lake a Roman galley was sunk. The
legend ascribed it to Tiberius, whose
name is attached to many classical
antiquities by the fancy of the people,
and the mythical galley was called
the nave di Tiberio, name that may
suit it as we'll as any other. Classical
scholars who followed up the myth
came upon a story Of the Emperor
Caligula's building an immense vessel
on the little lake, wherein he held MS
orgies. It was structure of extraor-
binary magnificence; some held that
it was built of stone in the lake IN
the form of a ship, but modern arche-
ologists agreed that, whatever truth
there might be in the story, the ship
or the building had disappeared long
ago and that it was folly to talk OF
recovering any part Of it. This in
spite of we'll authenticated records OF
beams and other debris drawn from
Lake Nemi by fishermen and others.

cries became known the Italian gov
errment stepped in. 1t prevented the
removal Of the objects found for a
long time, during which they were sub
jected to exposure to the weather and
other perils. Much of the wood re-
covered-Signorj Borghi says 1t
amounted to 1900 feet-decayed or
was plundered by the neighboring
peasants, who used it for frewood.
Exploration of the ships is now at
a standstill. The Italian government
sent a marine engineer to Investigate
and he recommended the draining OF
the lake to below the level where the
ships are stranded. This will require
much money and will involve great
deal Of litigation with the riparian
owners, and as the Italian government
is very poor the ships in Lake Nem1
are likely to remain undisturbed for. a
long time.
It is interesting to note the concur
sion to which Signor Borghi has come
with regard to the character OF these
ships in the course of his researches
According to him there is no question
of pleasure yachts of Tibekius or OF
Caligula; in fact, the art of the sec
ond ship points back to the time Of
the republic. He believes that the
vessels were connected with the TEN
pie of Diana.
Diana's temple at Nemi was long a
place of pilgrimage. It was the tenn
pie in the grove that gave the, names
to both the villages near the lake
Nemi is from Menus, the lake is Ne
morensis, while Genzano, near by, is
from Cynthiana, lone Of Diana's names
There is proof of the, great magnif
cence of the temple on shore. and
he holds that for some sacred reason
these vessels were built and decorated
splendidly as part of the sacrifcial
worship Of the goddess. The theory
is more plausible than that which at,

INDIANS AT SCHOOL.
WHITE MANS INSTITUTION is
LIKED BY, THE MOQUIS.
Little Ones Climb Down Immense
Rock to Get instruction, and Teach
ers Praise Their Good Behavior
During Lesson Hours.

The home Of the Oraibi branch of
the MoQui Indians is a mesa 500 feet
high, upon which the old Indians prac-
tice the snake dance and other favor
tie ceremonies of the tribe. But it
is probable that the coming genera
ton, or, perhaps, the present one, will.
grow out of these things. The white
man, with his school house and other
usages of civilization, has found the
young Indians and made friends OF
them.
A few years ago these Indians Of
the mesa were considered hostile be-
cause they exhibited more opposition
to the influence of the whites than
did the other Moquis. When it was
proposed to build school house at
the base of the mesa and to place all
the children in school, the parents
stubbornly refused to permit it. But
house was built, and after long and
persistent effort; every child OF prop
er age was enrolled as a pupil. The
Indians, who had SO vigorously op-
posed at first, became jealous friends
Of the school as soon as they saw the
results of it.
The enterprise has been very sue
cessful, and now one may stand near
the school at o'clock in the morning.
and looking up at the plateau, 500
feet above, see suddenly curious
thing. Little children, looking Ike
dolls, begin to appear over the edge
of the mesa. One child comes into
view behind another, and soon the
face of the great rock is alive with
the little creatures as they descend, in
single file, the steep, Zigzag path lead
| ing to the base of the mesa and the
school, The little folk seem to be
hanging to the wall of the immense
| rock as they slowly descend the face
of it. They keep pouring over the
edge at the top. and the head OF the
line has reached the school on the
plain below before the last of it leaves
the mesa.
When the struggling line comes
fully into view, it is nearly half
mile long. A fanciful person might
see in it's convblutions on the pain
some resemblance to the movements
of a snake, and think OF it as the
| snake dance with which the young In.
dams have replaced that Of their
| gran dfath ers.41 ...-~
In this school there are ITS children,
| and in regularity Of attendance it IS
said to head the list of Indian day
schools in all the country. A fine
| large new building, costing between
$4,000 and $4,000, has taken the place
| of the first schoolhouse. New clothes,
i such as white children wear, are sup
| piled the pupils when they enter
school. The children are fond of their
| lessons, ard the teachers have but few

INDIANS SHOW CRAFT
CLEVER SCHEME BY WHICH
TRIBE SECURED PoNiEs:: =
Treaty Prohibition Kept in the Letter,
but Evaded in the Spirit---Arrange-
ment That Was Profitable TO the
White Men.

"Have you ever heard how a treaty
between the Modoc and Pit River In
dams, way out in eastern Oregon, was
nullifed?" asked M. T. Rogers while
discussing frontier and early day ex-
periences 1.-THE two tribes were at
constant warfare with each other
long years ago, and the fortunes of
war varied. Some seasons victory
would be With the Pit Rivers and at
other times their hereditary enemies,
the Modocs, would subjugate them.
Upon one occasion the Modocs man
aged to capture the entire band
through some strategy, and when they
counted noses it was found that cap
tors and captured were about equal
in number. When the necessary
guards were supplied to keep the pris-
oners from escaping it was found that
there were not enough Modocs left
to do the hunting or go on the war
path
Finally council was held and the
chiefs reached an agreement for a
treaty of peace between the two
tribes. The condition of the treaty
was that the Pit River Indians were
never again to own horses, this being
required because the ModOcs could
easily keep them under control with
out horses to do their maraudlng.
The captured band returned to their
hunting grounds and established vii
lagos, but were without horses for a
number Of years. - -
ATTRACTED by the excellent sheep
range territory, ranchmen from North
e1n California invaded the Pit River
country and brought with them large
herds of ponies to be used in round
ing up. The Indians looked with long
ing upon the horses and finally the
ranchmen learned the band was with
out ponies. When the fall weather
came and corrals were found neces-
sary, the ranchmen entered into an
agreement for the services of the In
dams to supply rails to fit up corrals.
The Indians refused pay for the work
done, but took ponies instead. They
also refused to accept full pay, in
sisting upon owing the ranchme1
balance upon each pony secured, so
that the title remained in the name OF
the whites.
1.-THE Modocs, learning that their
enemies hsAal been supplied with
ponies in violation of the treaty, made
a raid, but we're informed that the
ponies were not the property of the
Pit River Indians, but belonged to the
white men. Through these methods
the ranchmen secured the use OF val
liable grazing ground for many years,
and the Indians found a way of get
ting around the treaty. "-Milwaukee

PAPER NAPKINS IN THOUSANDS

Made in This Country in Great Mum
: bers and of Fine Appearance.
y Up to within ten years all Of the
many millions Of paper napkins an
nually consumed in the United States
were imported from Japan or China,
but now a large proportion of them
= are made here. This proportion Is
constantly increasing, and now Amer
lean paper napkins are exported tc
Europe. .'*<s~
Some Of the napkins produced In
this country are printed with designs
Japanese in character, but the great
bulk are original in every way. They
include napkins printed with various
flowers, which are reproduced with
fidelity to nature, both in drawing
and in, color, and which are also n
many cases arranged with most ar
tistic effect upon the paper.
And then there are napkins with re-
productions in color of playing cards,
and others with the flags of various
nations. And then there are napkins
upon which are printed yacht flags
and napkins printed with music, and
napkins with other designs.
There are still other napkins that
are plain white, without ornamental
ton; and then there are napkins
printed with some simple design in
one or two colors, and there are nap
kins with a pattern embossed, and
napkins with border printed with a
pattern in gold or in. silver; and gold
and silver are used also on some Of
the napkins printed in colors to en-
nance the decorative effect.
These napkins are, in short, pro
duced in scores Of styles, many Of
which are artistic. In fact, to any
body who had never seen one, the
sample book of an American manu-
facturer of paper napkins would be a
surprise.
Some American napkins are solo
for less than any imported, while
