Louis to observe, and two days after its departure
actually fell in with the British squadron. But,
says the writer, the suspicious thing is that Bot
tineau, like all charatans requires large sum of
money for his secret" This however establishes
nothing, for human kind has always been wont to
seek substantial reward for its 1abors.
Three months later in the same year the French
Government, impressed by the claims of Bottineau,
looked into its correspondence with the Isle of
France as far back 1882, and found that the gov
of the island had written about him, saving
that he certainly possessed some part of the power
to which he laid claim. In the meantime Bottineau
had published letter the subject, requesting
savants to furnish him with a He wrote:

TN order to enable them to do this for me, I
must commence by giving them idea of the

approach of land five six days before it is visible
to the most powerful telescope-that is, at dis

the science may be used for the observation of ships
from the land at the distance, and it furnishes
principles for estimating the distance, and for
nouncing therefore, the time of the arrival of the
ship, the touching at the harbor. 1t can also be

Indian clown dressed in striped ticking with an
enormously padded stomach face masked to
semble an animated puffball, and armed with boys
bow and blunt-en arrows continually in evil
dence. His mirnicry OF dancers and speakers was
as comical as the performances of a circus clown.
On one occasion an old Pabakse Gut Head,
poverty stricken, lame, and white-haired who, it
seemed feature at these gatherings, hoped
out into the circle and began harangue He was
in the least to disconcert him He had a story to
tell tale of an early adventure in the Minnesota
war Doubtless he had repeated it a thousand times,
and in his half-witted mind the boots of derison
which had followed taken for salvos of applause
As he 1imped about with the movement of a monkey
holding a hat, he was followed by the clown who
teetered either leg, mimicking the old mans ges
lures and letting forth an occasional whoop which
fairly convulsed the Indian audience.

The Women Danced Alone

THE women danced alternately with the men. To
the number of hundred more, they formed
drum alone played for them They chanted to its
rhythm and danced with peculiarly jerky move
ment of the knees, shoulder to shoulder and with a
heelandtoe side-step to the left, until each had
passed entirely around the circle and stood in her
original position
At night they danced the Mandan dance of the
strong For this performance five kerosene
torches were around mystery pole in the middle
of the ground and around these the five drums were
ranged, Squatted cross-1egged in many rows, the
spectators, densely packed, filled the outer

and the gaily fringed and beaded leggngs and moe
casinS, characteristic of his tribe.
When the drums doomed their signal these dancers
to the number of forty men of middle age leaped to
their feet single man. Each man carried
stone war-club or dancing club of buffalo horn.
Beginning at the north each one faced the audience
turn, shook his ornamental club once above his
head and announced his name thus, Il am Strikes

When they had finished the drums Numbered, and
they began slow forward movement each man
facing the mystery pole-common1y but enormously
called medicine -pole-unt they had come to-
gether in a compact circle touching shoulders then
they broke away, and each danced around the
pole, part going way and part the other in a SER
pentine movement that dizzyng to look at.
For moment the drums doomed in deafening
rhythm, then suddenly ceased, and the dancers
began to chant. The effect of their measured snake
like circng and of the weird ntoning of the chorus
thrilling in the extreme After passing four times
around the mysterypole and the drums the whirling
circle parted and the took seats. Only one, APP
pointed by the master of ceremonies first to speak,
held the center of the arena. While the others,
waited on by some boys, drank soda-water and ate
canned pumpkin, the orator of the moment marched
about the drums and recited his deeds Each notable
exploit praiseworthy act was punctuated with a
boom-bom of approval from the drums.

Some Indian Oratory

THERE were some examples of good Indian oratory
on this occasion. An extract from the speech of
HollowHorn- Bear of the Miniconjous will serve to
illustrate. He had told of expedition against the
Crees in which his party defeated. The Sioux
had scattered, and each was making off by him
self, Said HOllOw-Horn-Be Bear:

Wheat stout and chesty.

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Sept. 49,
Light Minneapolis receipts turned wheat up at
the start today, and yesterdays decline
gained in part. Only 100 cars came in here
against $50 a year ago, and this, following the
light of yesterday, made the bulls feel
better. Up at Duluth there excess over
last year. I7G against Gc3. that the
northwest did not show serious decrease
after all, but there disappointment never
theless for both the bear speculG tors and the
cash grain men, for in the one case prices were
too stubborn against decline to please them, and
in the other business lighter than had
been expected. In Chicago there a
parison of 80 cars and co, but Winnipeg failed
to measure up and had 90 cars less than yea;
ago, CT 4S3 against 5S2. The weather forecast
is favorable for the movement of wheat, as is
the prevailing weather. Unexpected hrmueSs of
the cables was another cause of the firm open
ing. The demand was fair, but offerings were
only normal and trade light. The curb was Il
little noisy, but not much real business was
transacted. Liverpool closed unchanged. Kansas
