AN INDIAN LEGEND.
The Grandfather of All Mosquitoes
and His Giant Descendants.

The Grandfather of All Mosquitoes
and His Giant Descendants.
There are pretty big mosquitoes In
the world, but If report be true they
have greatly degenerated In size and
strength since the days when this leg
end was believed 10y many tribes OF
Indians
The grandfather OF all mosquitoes
lived in the neighborhood of Onondaga,
n. y. When he grew hungry he would
sally forth and eat an Indian or two
and pick his teeth with their ribs. The
Indians had no arms that would pre-
vail against this monster, SO they call
ed upon the holder Of heavens to come
down. Finding that he had met his
match In this person. the mosquito few
away. He flew around the great lake,
turned eastward, sought help from the
witches that inhabited the Green lake
and had reached Lake Onondaga when
his pursuer came TIP and killed him.
AS his blood poured forth on the
sand each drop became a smaller mos
quito. They gathered about the hold
er Of the heavens and stung him SO
cruelty that he half repented the serv-
ice he had rendered to the Indians.
The Tuscaroras say that two Of the
mosquitoes stood on opposite sides OF
the Seneca river and slew all who
passed Hiawatha killed them. A res
ervation stone marks the place where
the holder rested during his chase. and
tracks were until lately seen south OF
Syracuse alternated with the footprints
OF the mosquito. These footprints were
shaped Ike those Of a bird and we're
twenty inches long. These marks were
revered by the Indians for many years.
