Without doubt the minds of college students

of high ideals is very real If students receive with
their education grounding in moral principles, if
character, if it gives them appreciation of things
that noble and beautiful, if it gives them such
understanding of the mmutable laws of nature
and of morals that there is revealed to them the
value of living life in harmony with these laws,
then they will gain education whose value cannot

the collection of legends which she gathered from

for the purpose of comparing with her own stock

down few of Louies stories

that the schools than before have need to
be awake to the demands of the times and vary

If we are facing, as believe we are, period when
there are to be lines of political cleavage and

it is of enormous Importance that shall have men

Here is story in point, in which the expression
of face and the lively mimicry of gesture must be
imagined 1t is an example of Louies vivid and
realistic manner of narration:
IKroMI NIGHT JAR
Once Iktomi wished very much to be night jar. He
wished to dart downward from great height making
loud with his mouth Iktom felt very deeply about
this. He about watching the night jars Gh-o-o-g!
said night Jars They dared upward and scared aoft
very prettily.
also wish to dart downward making the boom-boom
noise" said Iktomi.
He aloud and often the birds Presently one of
them heard Iktomi speaking: This one took pity on
Iktom Thus understand, said this one, you wish
to be of us that you wish to dart downward-so:
'Gh-o-o-g!'' said the night jar.
"Gh-o-o-o-gl Gh-o-o-og!' said this night jar Come
thus, Iktoi. Lie here upon your back this rock
Gh-o-o-og will make great wnd-Gh-o-o-o-g, gh-o-o-g
ek-kek, ka-a-a-ak' said the night jar. Gh-o-ogNhe
indeed made great wind
Iktom felt this wind blowing all about him. Suddenly
he felt himself borne alot Gh-oo-og, ekkek ka-a-ak
said lktom
Thus, they say he became night jar.

a literal translation, has of course nothing in 1T
but the story telers mimcry of the birds, and
this rendered in his art of per-
lection.

XII lINI upon Oully I1lll, oi HIS
- toric fame in Indian war, with
~ the butte of the Devils Heart
looking over my shoulder and in my
front the broad expanse of North
Dakota's Inland Sea, | have lis
tened to many stories of Indian folk
lore, tales which the Sioux have told
in their tepees for perhaps hundred
generations.
l have heard how the Great Turtle
heaved himself out of the mud of a
salt marsh and took his stand upon
the hill, while bitter waters rolled in
upon the marsh, forming Lake Mini
Wakan, or what is known by poor
Interpretation as Devils Lake. Mini
Wakan means simply Mysterious
Water" The Big Turtle remained
upon land, threatening to devour all
the tribes of the Dakotas, until the
brave Mato Tameheca cut off its head
with stone Ratchet.
Again | have listened to stories of
Iktomi the spider, half fairy, half
devil, who has played pranks from
time immemorial for the delectation
of all Dakota lovers of the marvel
of Unktehi, the under water monster
who lies ever in wait to destroy the
unwary; of Double Face, the treach-
erous liar and deceiver; of 1-ya the
giant, into whose vast belly whole
tribes of people are tumbled at a
gulp; of the powerful thunder people
whose arrows are zigzag bolts of
lightning; of the whirlwind and the
meteor folk who cough up stones
and spit them upon the earth; of
the Master of Snow and Ice who
rules the winter seasons; and of all
the many workers of magic besides.
And there were quieter tales-prop-
erly fireside stories-of the fox, the
wolf, the laughing gull, the eagle and
buzzard, and of hundred other
birds and beasts, each shrewdly play
ing its human part more or less in
keeping with its real character.
And the teller of these wonder
stories was Tantanka Main, or St;
of the Sisseton Sioux, who is kno

LOUIE THE STORY TELLER

Louie Myrick is to-day the chief re-
pository are of value, except to the
ethnologist. Many of them in fact
are untitled for translation-worthy
as they are of Rabelais at his
worst. Others are monotonous
and tedious recitals of the endless
journey of a mythical subject. But
there are many stories of a really
striking character, we'll wrought out
in detail, and of an art not to be
overlooked in summing up the
worlds story telling Many of the
tales of Iktomi, for instance, serve
to instruct or to point a moral for
the young Iktomi is in fact the
scapegoat of all Dakota fancies, and
stories of him are numerous enough
to fill several ordinary volumes of
fiction. Next in order in volume
are the tales of Unktehi and the
thunder peope. These alone would
make a respectable library of the
fiction of marvel After them come
the animal and bird stories, and
there would indeed be quite a IL
brary of these.
And what of the teller of these
stories, the inimitable Louie? He is
rather a striking person, tall, trap
per like in build, with a mobile face,
easy manner, 1.-THE swinging gait,
and an address that is altogether
pleasing.
In his story telling character
Louie is particularly pleasing His
powers as a narrator are of the
first quality and belong to an art
which has long ceased to be cul-
tivated among people whose chief
mental recreation consists in the
reading of printed books. Louie tells
his story with an eye to effect, not as
aposer, not as simply desiring to figure
as brilliant story teller, but with the
apparently sole purpose of convinc-
ing his hearer as to the truth of the
narrative. Naturally he is a mimic,
employing all the powers of trained
voice, expression of face and gesture
to complete the art of his tale.
