The Indians Eat Peaches Between the
Dances of Ceremony.

The Indians Eat Peaches Between the
Dances of Ceremony.
No region in the United States is
more noted for its prehistoric lore and
romantic history than the Ozark Noun
returned from visit to what may be
called the wilderness of the Southwest,
where one gets fifty miles from rail-
road. While there he witnessed weird
scene that has been going on annually,
it is said, ever since Columbus discov-
cred America and no one knows how
long before There is a peak down
there called Bald Dave, which is the
scene every year of the remarkable &C.
currence referred to. The annual visit
of the Indians this year took place not
long since and the first intimation Of
it was given by fisherman and hunt
er. A party was made up to visit the
peak and observe the peculiar scene.
The peak is 1880 feet above sea level
and the only vegetation upon 1t, ex-
cept some wiregrass, is a lone peach
tree. The party reached the foot Of
the peak about dusk and peepins from
their place of vantage they saw an In
dian band Of fifteen or twenty sitting
around a camp fire. Presently one of
them arose and threw q pile Of pine
knots upon the fire, which made a
bright light. The others of the band
came up and they all walked toward
the peach tree in single file. They
were all dressed in war paint and
feathers and when circle was formed
around the peach tree the whole band
began doleful chant. At short inter
walls an Indian would take one Of the
ripe peaches from the tree and eat it
and the dance was kept up with its In
carnations until the Indians fell ex-
hausted. The watching party was awe
stricken and departed as silently as
they had come to the place. A large
party was gathered together next day.
all heavily armed, and returned to the
place, but when they reached the
mountain there was smoldering camp
fire and many other signs of the great
powwow, but the Indians were gone

has been going on every year In the
autumn time for hundreds Of years.
Among the party were many old-timers
who were familiar with the story, but
had never observed the occurrence as
the party above referred to did. This
is but natural, for the place is much
isolated and the Indians go there, it IL
supposed, at different dates to avoid
having their secret discovered. No
one knows what the significance of
the weird gathering is and tradition
does not enlighten any one upon the
subject.-Springfeld (Ndo.) Leader.

the rectorship OF one of the large
churches IN New York City, and sew.
eral clergymen were talked about for
the position. Two prominent women
who Were members Of the church call

impressively:
when you get home pray that the

Ghost to given women the grace to at

follow her example, and welcome the
husband and his cigar in every room
in the house. How many husbands
and sons have found their way to the
public house through the protesting
wife and mother?
Yet surely their comfort, their well
fare is more than the new lace cur
tains? Apet from this wives some
times forget that the husband earns
the bread and pays the rent and,
therefore, should have an equal share
in the comfort Of home.
There are a thousand and one other
things like the cigar. Therexre wor-
en- whose strong point is housekeeping.
To be meat and tidy" to brush and
scrub, to have order in every chair leg,
system in every meal hour-how many
such things there are! And a woman
may-yes, she may If she be not care
ful-iDsist so strenuously in having
her housekeeping way that it drives a
wise man away from his home.
There are women, too, who shut up
their "best room" from their children;
think more of a new carpet than their
boys moral welfare and forbid the
neighbors' children ever coming in for
a frolic.
What Is the home for if it is not to
use? Where may man expect to lay
aside his cares, if not at home? And,
surely, it is better for the son that he
should smoke at home, even if the cur
tains are spoiled, than that his whole
future be ruined by the influence of
the clubroom.
Naturally a woman loves a pretty,
neat home, but she loves more the hap
piness of her husband and children.
Therefore, it behooves every true wife
to make home "for use for the comfort
Of those l love, for all that 1t Is
worth"

WICkLYS WOODS
BY n. w. TAYLOR



Unfolding her enveloping shawl far
enough to free her right arm, Lizzy slip
ped her right hand with a rapid move
ment and a certain sense Of exhilaration
that must have communicated itself to
the arm which it gently clasped.
How very agreeable to have your
hand upon my ARM" he said, turning his
animated face toward her so that she
had last opportunity to see 1t clearly In
the cone of light that had turned with
them as far as it could; it turned and
now vanished, leaving the darkness dou-
bly, intensified.
He had made a short pause, in which
her answer ought to have been made; but
Ia which she was looking at his face and
studying It so intently as not to be able
to withdraw her attention sufficiently
from the man himself to catch at once
the full import of the words.
If they were more than mere empty
compliment! That could have been de-
termined by his manner, if she had
studied the words and the manner to-
gether. But he seemed to feel that he
had not begun this part ~ tn, colloquy

has any one else---it is the road that l
used to hurry back and forth upon from
Sandtown to the biologists camp, you
remember"
He laughed in such a light, mocking,
careless way, as it appeared to Lizzy,
that all the exhilarating anticipation of
this walk through the midnight woods
went out, as the light of the dark lam
tern had gone out of the road behind
them.

English Rector Once Preached a Ser

Apropos OF the crinoline scare,
must relate quaint story told me by
a gentleman old enough to remember
the age OF STEEL and who was inti-
mately acquainted with the country
parson who preached the sermon he
quoted from.
His church was very small one,
and his congregation large and
fashionable one. The rector was
neither narrow.minded nor behind
the times. and his taste vas catholic
enough to embrace even the crinoline
of the early COS. He did not find fault
with their appearance, only with the
undue space they usurped.
On one memorable Sunday morning
he electrified his congregation by dis.
coursins on the subject He dealt ten.
