INDIAN WAS NOT HEATHEN
In Ills Primitive State In Weird,
6trasnge Way He Worshiped
God.

Charles Gibson disputes the
assertion that the primitive Indi-
an Is heather, says the Kansas
City Journal. Says Mr.. Gibson:
The Indians green corn dances
are hooked upon az wild, savage
proceeding, but in reality these
annual festivities are species OF
religion. The Indian is more seri-
Gus, sober and on good behavior
at a 'husk' than at any other time.
The reason Tor THESE annual
festivities is the ripening of corn,
which is two-thirds of an Indians
living. When he has corn in his
crib he has plenty to live on.
These dances were originally held
at the ripciling Of all fruits. In
fact, it was the custom To ccle-
brate and in simple way give
thanks to the Great Spirit for
granting the privilege Of feasting
upon the fruits of nature. The In
dian has always in his simple way
worshiped God.
THE square grounds wherein
these ceremonies are carried on
are very sacred, when the customs
ar carried out properly. For in
stance, drunken man is not al
lowed inside the tucho, as the
dance ground is called. No loud
talking or boisterous person is
allowed TO come within thu.
grounds; furthermore. no woman
with a cloudcd reputation is al
lowed to come into the grounds
night or day. The ceremonies are
very solemnly carried out and no
foolishness is allowed. 1t is also
custom not 10 allow any four.
footed animal to come about the
place, as they are looked upon IA
unclean.
The man, woman or boy who
had eaten green corn before these
ceremonies were concluded was
not allowed to take part at the
'husk. as their taking a hand
would destroy the great virtues
to be received from the Great
Spirit. The person who ate green
corn before the black drink WAS
administered at the regular 'husk'
was considered backslider."

"Ffnc laccs," said w. ". Chaee,
to Louisville Herald man, con
stitute one of the most readily sal

is imported to this country, and it
il source Of wonder that Amcri-
can genius has not devised some
way In which TO meet this demand
with a domestic article which will
serve the purpose and can be sold
at something like the same price.
"Isut it has not" he continued.
"iye have had many machines in

lace which is naturally cheap, and

Wanted to Make Sure Of Spending
His Own Money Him.

'In the west said Mr.. William
Sturgis, Of Cheyenne, Wyo., nc.
cordfhg TO the Washington Post,
"the people take very slowly to thu
notion that government should
busy itself in the cndeayor to reg
ulate public morals.
"For that reason, although we
have a pretty stiff anti-gambling
law, the statute is of little potency.
and the boys gather in the old Ia
miliar ccntcrs to bet their coin
against faro, roulette, hazard or
poker.
Not long ago one Of my clients,
IF the cowboy tribe, who had de-
posted 81 900 with me, made a trip
TO town, and for several days got
me to let him have 800 per diem.
| thought he was trying his luck a
faro, and finally, when he had
'pent just half his capital, ad
vised himthat the writing of checks
was getting monotonous and that
if he meant to keep on playing to
withdraw the remaining $500 in a
imp, so that he need not bother
% hunt for me- 81 the same time
| advised him in strong terms to
stop then and there and take no
chance in losing the money he had
required throughmonths OF patient
toll on the plains. He heard me
through with The utmost pa
ticnce, taking no apparent heed of
my rebuke, and then said: "Iknow
what you say is true. Judge; but
supposing should die right sud
den and get no chance to spend
that other $500?'"

this would make good showing for

the Republican Party make good its
threat to attempt to have Southern
Representation cut down, on the

Mississippians rally to the polls, for
this probability grows strong, with

The little feathered beauties

young birds, and they are very
tame.
The feeding place consists of a
cOnical vessel Of metal, made in
imitation Of some flower, fastened
NJ the top OF pieces OF wire foot
or more in length. The wires rep
resent the stems OF flowers.
There are several of these recepta-
cles on the piazza and in the flower
garden nearby. The birds will
take sip Of the sirup and then
fly to the trees in the yard. return
