stretch economy to the going outside

was Il practical joke to the fore which

friends and relatives burst in on us,
out of closets and from behind cur

as these are all too scarce in a persons

Of spirits. Among some tribes they are
worn in dances which are intended to
drive away the bad spirits.
The British Columbia Indians, who
are famous for their totem poles, are
quite expert in the making Of false
faces Of exceptionally grotesque aspect.
Their strange form of construction Is
not caused by. the Indians desire to
make something which will appear
queer or funny to the white man. but
is due to his aim to create something
carrying out the ideas of the tribe about
NEUROLOGICAL characters or the animals
that are held In special regard or rever-
ence. The masks which the Zunis of
Arizona and New Mexico make are as
grotesque in their way as those of the
British Columbia Indians, though of
altogether different appearance. The
false face was a popular institution
among the IroQuois tribes, and to this
day on the reservations in New York
and Canada the false face takes a
prominent part in certain ceremonials.
At the New Years festival, which the
Iroquois observe in February, the false
face dance Is al important function,
and In connection with it ashes are
sprinklcd ON the heads of the sick to
drive away the bad spirits supposed to
be affecting them with disease.

II Ia Worn In Ceremonial Dances
and Ii often GrOtesHae.
The masks or false faces that Indians
usc in ceremonial dances are often gro
tesoue in the extreme. The specimen
shown in the accompanying picture is
one that was once used by British Co
lumbia Indians, and it has a mouth
that opens and shuts and eyes that roll
at the will of the wearer, thus adding
much to the weird effect the mask
gives when worm in the performance Of
a wild and strange ceremonial. The
average American boy would give any
thing lie possessed to have such a mask
to wear on Halloween, and, indeed,
there is some appropriateness in dom
ming such a disguise OH such an oc-
casion. for it is then that spirits are al
legged to be abroad perpetrating strange
and whimsical acts and terrifying the
wicked or s,,perstitious, and these false
faces are commonly believed by their
Indian owner to lie the dwelling places

N n Il. BOWSER had been smok-
IVA ing and reading for half an
hour when he began to hitch
around in Il nervous way and
clear his voice. Mrs. Bowser knew
that he had something on his mind, but
she let him turn it over and over until
lie got ready to say:
Il wonder what time the sun rises
these mornings:"
Somewhere around 4 o'clock, l be-
lieve."
He waited another five minutes and
then observed:

told me I Ought to try the sunrise

got, and getting up early for a week

"This is the first l have heard about
any feeling Of lassitude. II you are
feeling that way, why not go to a doc

"Why not go to a doctor and be hur-

when l must do something. I have no

AS he had come running up the steps

further developments.

"Certainly. Yes, by all mean get

a flush came to Mr.. Bowser's face
as he thought she spoke in sarcasm,
but after n moment he decided that
she was sincere, and he forgive her
and said that h. would attend to wax
ing himself up ut half past 8 In the
morning. He would try the sunrise
cure for Il week, and if it benefited
him he would expect her to walk out
with him thereafter. Things were left
in this shape, and 0 O'Clock saw the
gas turned out and the Bowscr family
