Redman or Two

There are pretty big mosquitoes IN
the world. but II report be true they
have greatly degsneraisd In sire and
strength since the days when this le-

Indians
The grandfather Of all mosquitoes
lived In the nsighborhood OF Onon-
daga. N Y. when he grew hungry he
would sally forth and eat an Indian
or two and pick his teeth with their

would prevail against this monster. SO
they called upon the Holder OF Heavens
TO come down. Finding that he had
met his match in this person the mos
quito few eastward. sought help from
the witches that inhabited the Green
lake. and had reached Lake onougagA
when his pursuer came up and killed
him.
As his blood poured forth on the
sand each drop became a smaller mos
quito. They gathered aboa, the Hold

vice he had rendered 10 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

where the Holder rested during hi
chase. and tracks were until lately
seen south OF Syracuse altesnated with
the footprints Of the mosquito. These
footprints were shaped Ike those OF
a bird. and were 90 inches long These
marks we're revsred by the indians FOR
many years.
