Do They Attend Church ?

We challenge men everywhere to find
a single person who visits the saloon
and makes a business of drinking, who
is a regular attendant at the prayer
meetings or regular attendant at the
church services, or who is regular con-
tributor to the support of the church.
They are not considered as spiritually
minded, they are not considered as the
pillars of the orthodoxy, they are not
pointed to as examples for young men
to follow, and yet, in the face of this,
men elected to the legislature by the
vote of the people will say that this de-
moralizing traffic must be continued,
even in communities where a majority
want it out

GROOVES IN INDIAN ARROW
Thought by Ethnologists to Have
Been Made for Blood to
Run Through

In making the Indian arrow. three
small undulating grooves are cut on
the shaft, running down to the head
from the lower end Of the feathers.
This, says the Southern Workman. has
attracted the attention Of some of the
ethnoiogists. who gave the matter con-
siderable study and wisely concluded
that the little lines were made for the
blood to run through. or that they rep
resented lightning. An old Omaha.
who had the reputation Of being very
skillful in cutting the grooves in arrow
shafts, was called by the chief to do
that work for him on some arrows he
was making. The chief himself was a
nne arrow-maker. but he recognized the
skill OF the old man in this particular
line- While the work was in progress,
the chiefs son, who had reached the
inquisitive age. and was looking on
with wide-eyed interest. suddenly
asked: Venerable man. why are you
making those crooked lines-" The
chief gave a hearty laugh and said:
