Ing grooves are cut on the shaft, running down to
the head from the lower end of the feathers. This
has attracted the attention of Of the ethnoo-

wisely concluded that the little lines were made for
lightning
An old Omaha who had the reputation Of being
very skifuI in cutting the grooves in shafts
was called Dy the chief to do that work him on
some arrows he was making. The chief himself
was a nne arrow maker, but he recognized the
SKIN or the old man in this particular line. While
me work was in progress the chiefs son. who had
tedcheo the lnqutsitive age, and was looking on
WITH wide eyed interest suddenly asked: '"Venera-
pie man, why are you making those crooked lines
The chief gave hearty laugh and said: 'Fathar
tell him. Tor he will be making arrows himself
some day. and he should know"
EVERY sapling answered the old man. 'out NJ
