FEATS OF INDIAN MAGIC.
An Entertainment by PaWnees on an
Open Prairie.

r. H. Tibbles, ,vice-presidential can
didate on the Populist ticket in 1904,
has spent years and years on the
frontier and among the Indians, and
he can tell some good stories about
Indian magic. Here is one OF them.
"Once during the border days ]
found myself camped near village
of Pawnees. The Pawnees paid our
camp formal visit, and to amuse
them one of our party, who was quite
prestidigitator, did some simple
tricks with cards, etc. The Indians
smiled and invited us over to their
village next day, where they said they
would show us some Indian tricks.
1--WE went. The day was fine and
sunny and about noon we were in
vited out on the open prairie to see
the tricks. AS far as we could see
there were no preparations whatever
We stood around in big circle out
lined by the chief
Finally tall Indian walked out
into the centre of the ring and haran
gued the crowd for a few minutes.
Then another Indian came over tC me
and asked if | wanted to examine
deer's head, freshly killed, which he
had brought. | looked it over care
fully 1t was all right. l was then
told to take the head into the ring to
the magician.
THAT Indian didn't have stitch
of clothing on, but on the ground ly'
ing near was a red blanket. | picked
up the blanket and examined it. 1t,
like the deer head, was all right.
took good look at that Indian, too.
81 then paced out to the edge OF the
circle, keeping my eyes on the Indian
and the deer head.
"This head was an ordinary sized
one, and had two big antlers on it.
And that Indian picked up that head,
stuck one end of an antler IN MS
mouth, and right before us all grad
ually swallowed it. 1t took him flvc
minutes to get it down, but it grad
ually went down his throat, or some
where else. But, remember, he was
entirely naked, and there was no
place to hide it.
After finishing the head the In
dian turned around and bowed to the
four points of the compass. And then,
suddenly, there stood another Indian
beside him. Where that second In
dian came from none of us could tell
He certainly did not walk across the
open circle.
''The second Indian reached down.
took up the blanket from the ground
and cast it over the first Indian. The
blanket gradually sunk to the ground
and lay fiat.
I'VE white people were beckoned
to come forward. | picked up the
blanket. There was nothing under
it. The first Indian had disappeared
and in his place stood the second In
dian, who was not at all like the
first.
"Now, all that took place right out
on the open prairie, and in the centre
of ring of whites and Indians. J
had myself examined the dcCr's head
had shaken hands with the Indians
had lifted that blanket from the
ground. 1t was the greatest piece OF
magic | ever saw
The modern Indian has, to great
degree, lost the power to do these
feats of magic, which the old-time In
dian was versed in, and the best he
can do is a few sleight of hand tricks
which can be done by almost any per
son.

Julius Caesar Up-to-Date.

One of the famous orators of Texas
was Col Tof Bouie, an unlettered
genius, who had much language at his
control and a few facts.
Bouie referred to the assassination
of julius Caesar in one OF his
speeches. This is what he said of
that historic incident:
Zone beautiful summer day, when
julius Caesar was walking down the
streets of Spain, happy and free from
care, along came Brutus and snuck
up behind him with stealthy tread.
Then Brutus drew his bowie knife and
plunged it into the immortal ribs Of
julius Caesar, and that grand old
man, completely taken by surprise,
turned on Brutus, and in tones of thun-
der said: rs that you Brutus, you

A Worldwide Movement and

Are We Doing Our Part.."..,".
y NE of the most significant and

@NE of the most significant and
far reaching changes ever
~ made in the public school
course is the result of con-
tinued effort on the part of farmers
the world over, eliminating in recent
years in the placing Of agriculture in
the schools.
This movement is not local. 1t is
practically worldwide. 1t is felt with
great force in Germany, France, Rus
sia, Italy, and Switzerland. Echoes
of it are heard from South America
and Australia, and it seems that no
part of the civilized world where the
public school prevails has escaped it.
In the United States there has been
legislation introducing agriculture in
to the schools in many States. We
now found it taught in North Carolina,
Alabama, Louisiana, Virginia. Ten.
nessee, Washington, California and In.
diana, and in many schools also in
Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Mis-
souri,
The hold that this new subject is
getting on the world is shown by a
glance through the pages of the Ex-
pertinent Station Record in the past
seven numbers alone, where we find
recorded such things as these:
agricultural education in Belgium
is administered through the colleges,
the agricultural secondary schools, az
ricultural schools for women
"At the Department of Superintend'
cnts of the National Education Asso-
citation in Kentucky the afternoon of
the last day was devoted to industrial
training" This took the form Of "a
discussion of agriculture in the schools.
This discussion was led by supcrin-
tendents from Illinois, Kentucky, Con-
necticut and Oklahoma, showing the
wide interest in agriculture"
"a Peoples High School, including
a modern farm and museum of agri-
culture, is maintained at Otterbach.
Lectures are attended annually by
from three to four thousand farmers
sons"
'lHSlIucllOI III uSliCuilulc III Nh'
tigua includes lessons in agricultural
sciences and practical work in the
school garden"
The two last quotations indicate ac-
tivity concerning this subject in foreign
countries.
"The State Normal School at Okla
homa has recently established a De-
partment of Agriculture and PhysioS-
raphy. A bulletin on agriculture is
being issued"
Sac City, Iowa, High School has an
enrolment of ffty-siX pupils. The
