Owl Tea House
SIX BARS SILK SOAP CSC.

held on Monday and was witnessed by
Major Edwards and DIR. 4. NJ. Hen
derscn. The only others in the tepee
were the patient, Knee Shirt and his
three young assistants, whose function
it is to provide the noise during the
treatment.
The patient in the case is a con-
sumptive, and consequently is proba-
bly, none the worse for the Cure"
He was first rubbed about the chest
by the medicine man, and much Of
the sickness was thus taken out by
hand. 1t was then held tightly clench-
ed between his fists by Knee Shirt and
DIR. Henderson was asked to witness
the fact that he had it. The remain
der of the cure was then administered
by the healer sucking the rest of the
disease from the sick mans body.
After necessary gyrations on the part
of the medicine man accompanied by
suitable noise from the assistants, the
cure was finished.
During the giving of the treatment
the words and singing of the medi-
cine man and assistants were taken
down by phonograph. and the records
will be retained by Major Edwards as
a reminder of the occasion.
After the consultation held Mon
day, it was decided Knee Shirt should
no longer continue his practice. Ac-
cordingly, the first step towards his
removal was taken when, upon orders
from the agent. his long hair was
shorn. Naturally this was hard
blow, and one which alone would
have ended the efficacy of the cures.
However, it was subsequently follow
ed by orders to leave the reservation.
In compliance with these instructions
Knee Shirt, the medicine man, and
his three young helpers, have since
| folded their tents and silently stolen
away. AS a result Nhere is now no
medicine man upon the Umatilla res
| ervation, and DR.. T. NJ. Henderson Is
left in undisputed control of the Sly
uation.

Knee Shirt, medicine man among

has been barred from further practice
within the boundaries of the reserva-
ton and thereby hangs a tale. 1t is
the old story of the passing of former
Indian customs and practices, and the
substitution of the white mans meth

Knee Shirt is White Salmon Indi-
an, and he has been making a habit
of visiting among the different tribes
in this section. This is the second
time he has been among the Umatillas
and IL was once too many for the
more civilized members of the tribe,
in the skill of DR.. Henderson, the
agency physician, than in the magic
of the medicine man.
1t was because of this complaint
from the Indians themselves that
Knee Shirt has been ostracised. How

But recently the work of Knee Shirt
was brought before Major Edwards
in such way that it was decided to
make him give up his practice. How
ever, this was not done without CIV
ing the medicine man a hearing. and
in order to demonstrate his system
the aged healer was induced to give
an exhibition of his work. This was

BOOKS FOR GREAT COMMANDER
Library Napoleon Ordered Comprised
 Many Subjects.

In 1908 Napoleon formed the idea of having travelling library in order to make his hours of intellectual recre ation independent of the exigencies of campaign or the delays q a courier.
 The proposed library was to form about thousand volumes. The books were to be of small duodecimo size, printed in good type, and without mar gins in order to save space They were to be bound in morocco, with flexible covers and limp backs. The boxes for their conveyance were to be covered with leather and lined with green velvet, and were to average 50 volumes apiece, in two rows like the shelves In library. A catalogue was to accompany them, so arranged that the emperor could readily find any desired volume The distribution of subjects was as follows: Forty volumes on religion, 40 of epic poetry, 40 of the drama, 60 volumes of other poetry, 60 volumes of history and 100 novels.
