SACRED ARROWS THE ISSUE
Cheyennes Lost Them to Pawnees so
Years Ago and Want Them.

More than sixty years ago. in a.
battle on the banks of the Platte
river, in Nebraska, the Pawnee In
dianS, then one of the most powerful
tribes in the entire west, captured two
sacred arrows from the Cheyennes,
who were then also at their strongest
in numbers of fighting men. During
the battle Pawnee warrior, who had
previously been crippled and who pre-
ferred death to the suffering caused
by his wounds, had stationed himself
far in advance of other Pawnees in a
clump of bushes. AS he continued to
pick off numerous Cheyennes with his
arrows it was found necessary by the
Cheyennes to dislodge him, and ac-
cordingly party Of warriors OH horse
back made a dash for the clump of
bushes, their sacred arrow keeper in
the lead. The sacred arrows, four
in number, he had fastened to a long
spear, and as he struck at the crippled
Pawnee the latter lodged to one side,
grasped the spear and wreSted it from
the Cheyenne. Almost simultaneously
with the charge of the Cheyennes a
party of Pawnee warriors, seeing the
danger of their crippled brave, rushed
to his assistance. The Cheyennes
were routed before they could recover
their sacred arrows.
Ever since, or during the many
years that the two tribes have lived
in peace, the Cheyennes have been
trying to recover these sacred arrows.
Last summer 400 members of the Dog
Soldier band Of the Cheyennes visited
the Skedee band of the Pawnees, and

Englishmen are Eliminated

1t has been noted as a curious fact
that at the present time no party in
the English house of commons is led
by an Englishman. The prime minis
ter, the leader of the opposition and
the leader of the labor party are Scots,
and the Irish and Welsh contingents,
Of course, have their own leaders.

no more wonderful to be Rhine maiden than to be

Dragomir? All the sweet of her liberty and her
adventure were singing in her veins, all the sweet
