A TOBACCO LEGEND.
The Story Of the Way In Which Man
Obtained the Weed.

The Story of the Way In Which Man
Obtained the Weed.
An ethnologist tells an interesting
story as to how tobacco was first OBJ
tanned by man, according to the ira
ditions of the Menominee Indians:
"One day the god hero. Nanabozo,
was on journey, when he perceived
delightful odor. 1t seemed to come
from crevice in the cliffs high up on
a mountain side. On going closer he
found a tavern which was occupied by
giant. In fact, the giant was the
tenant Of the mountain, and from the
mouth Of the cave passage led down
into the very center of the hill. where
| there was large chamber. Around
the chamber were stacked great quanti-
ties of bags filled with curious dried
leaves: From the leaves proceeded the
delicious fragrance.
"These leaves were tobacco. Once
year, the giant explained, all Of the
spirits came to the mountain for the
purpose of smoking this exquisite
weed. But it was not possible to give
any Of it away" said the ethnologist.
Nevertheless Manabozo watched for
an opportunity and, snatching up one
of the bags. fed, closely pursued by
the giant. The thief leaped from peak
to peak, but the giant followed SO fast
as to finally overtake him. So Mana
bozo turned upon him and, upbraiding
him for his stinginess. transformed
him into grasshopper.
'That is the reason why the grass
hopper is always chewing tobacco.
Manabozo took the bagful of leaves
and distributed them among his
friends. the ancestors Of the Indians Of
today. Since then they have had the
use and enjoyment Of the plant"

A Queer Custom.

Between the mountains Of India and
Persia is a powerful tribe among
whom an extraordinary custom pre-
walls. Women's rights have apparent
~ received full recognition, for the la
dies Of the tribe can choose their own
husbands. All single woman has to
do when she wishes to change her
state is to send servant to pin q hand

her fancy lights, and he is obliged to
marry her unless he can show that he
is too poor to purchase her at the price
her father requires.

Work and Worry.

It is a common mistake that to wor-

pucceed is to work and not to worry;
the way to fail is to worry and not to
