His Wonderful Endurance

TT7HROCGH his traffic IN eagles feathers the young
Il man had come into possession OF the best bow
made entirely Of buffalo horn-to be found in the
Sans Arc village Shortly after this while on
buffalo hunt he had encounter with a Crow
Indian in which his adversary cut him across the
abdomen with a knife, inhicting wound that must
have killed an ordinary man Yet Catches Eagles
killed and scalped his enemy, sewcd up his wound,
bound himself about the waist with strip OF fresh
buffalo skin and made his way home, where he fully
recovered from the hurt.
While lying on his back the young man registered
a VOW to the Most Mysterious that upon his rccoV-
cry lie would make a dance and sacrifice por-
tons Il his flesh and that he would do this IN the
presence OF his enemies.
When it was known that the Great Mystery had
indeed made the hunter well as ever, the old
men Of the tribe agreed that a sun dance should
be called to show the gratitude OF the people Tor
the miracles performed. Doubtless each man OF
authority hoped for some great manifestation IN
his own behalf. So the Chiefs sent runners with
the peace pipe TO the Pawnees, Shoshonies, Crows,
Cheseuues and Arapahoes. All these were dwellers
on the buffalo plains. -Four tribes agreed TO come
al the beginning Of the midsummer moon: the
Crows. Chevennes, Arapahoes, and Pawnecs.
Il Was the custom in those days for each OF these
tribes once IN FIVE ten years, TO send out invita-
t.ons % The sun dance And such invitations were
sent % al the neghborng tribes, irrespective OF
whether they were friends or enemies. At the sun
dance all met together IN amity, and there was
sacred truce between the tribes which lasted not

Determines Upon the Maiden

THE visitors agreed to this dance and at the
proper time the young people turned out in great
numbers When the dance on Catches Eagles
watched eagerly for the Arapaho maiden. Pres
emily by the dress she wore he discovered the girl
When he came opposite her he Immediately left the
line and danced before her This he did three times;
but when he came opposite her for the fourth time,
the girl left her line and danced before Catches
Eagles She uncovered her face looking down
ward This She did in a fine manner showing honor
to the master Of ceremonies. Catches Eagles saw
that the girl was pretty, and his heart sang IN his
ears.
Il will marry this girl ! viii marry this girl
he said over and over to himself he danced
When the dance finished Catches Eagles followed
the Arapaho maiden and her companions to their
village He walked behind until he the girl 90
into her mothers tepee. She was the daughter Of
an Arapaho Chief.
The next morning the master Of ceremonies sent
a present Of ten ponies 10 the Arapaho our

sonal knowledge. As ii afterward proved, though
had never had any reason to doubt the Chiefs
word, able to test the truth of the story from
a number Of Oglalas who were acquainted with the
hero and heroine
a boy Of the Minneconjous, or Sans Arcs they
are better known, had miraculOusy recovered from
affection Of the spine which had kept him from
walking until he eighteen years of age Shortly
after his recovery he had the good fortune to cap
ture three golden eagles, which he tanned. These
eagles are rarely found in the Sioux country The
tail feathers Of the birds usually valued at a
pony each. As the feathers grew again after the
eagle owner had plucked his birds, he soon had
big herd Of horses and was accounted among his
fellows as a wealthy and most fortunate young man.
II il IS true that misfOrtunes never come sin2ly,
il appears to be equally that good fortune fol-
lows its favoTites and from the Indian point OF
view Catches Eagles gave proof OF the special
favor Of the good spirits.

only during the weeks OF the dance but on the
journey to and from.
So at the proper season the Sans Arcs made
cut the sun pole and raised that and semi
circular dance lodge and the tepee of preparation.
Soon the people began to come, and there was a
great concourse. BY the Indian reckon ng there
or fifteen thousand people at this gathering
They camped in a big circle around the sun
dance lodge, each delegation having its allotted
space. Their ponies were hcrded on the prairics,
and were as the buffaloes for counting They
did not dance at once. but every day they rode
inside the circle, racing their ponies, playing
games, and displaying feats of Workmanship and
Of throwing the lance and knife
Catches Eagles announced that at the close Of
the sun dance he would give away fifty feathers

end of the space from which it had been withdrawn.
Then he crawlcd into the hole, doubling his knees
against his chest, and pulled the second roll end IN
To fill the aperture at his head.
Thus he lay in a crampcd and tircsomc position,
gathering what comfort he could from chewing
tough bits OF dried beef. When the Arapaho lodges
struck, he heard the voices of the Chiefs
daughter and her young brother, who was helping
her to hitch the big horse to her travos. Presently
they began to move, and Catches Eagles doubled
like rabbit in its burrow and with his bow and
CULVER OF arrows wearing against his back, was
bumped tcdiously over the trail.
For a long time he was hauled thus through heat
and dust. Finally the Indians came to a ford and
persons lifted up the travos to keep the skins
from voting In going up bank and a steep hill,
after crossing the creek, Catches Eagles felt some
string or thong give way, and pole dragged low,
causing the load TO pull heavy. Presently the girl
discovered this and dismountcd to make the travos

Though Catches Eagles was angry, he

Beginning of Romance

CATCHES EAGLES rode at the head Of his line,
~ and at his side a slim Arapaho maiden
dressed in faWn skins, beautifully ornamented The
girl kept her face covered in the folds Of head dress
Catches Eagles admired this girl greatly. She rode
well and her figure fine to look at He desired
ardently her face, and often bent forward TO
lool, into her hood He could see nothing, however,
but pair Of dark eyes looking straight ahead.
The next day was begun the ceremonies Of the
sun dance and Catches Eagles. after dancing for a
long time with the thongs in his flesh, suddenly
sprang backward, tearing himself loose, and was
appaudcd greatly for his bravery, although other
young warriors did lust well as he did.
When they had finished the sun dance the master
Of ceremonies had his crcrs announce in all the
villages that on the morrow eve there would be
new kind Of dance. All the maids of fourteen win
tiers and upward and the young men should dance
in lines opposite each other They should shift their
positions, passing sidcWise and doubling back, and
50 each young man should dance once before each
girl in the circuit. young man might at any time
leave the line and dance up 10 the girl opposite
When he had done this four times the maid must
show him her face. 1t in this fashion that
Catches Eagles sought to discover whom She was
that had ridden the circle at his side.

Mrs. Taft's Fad.

Mrs. Taft's fad is walking. Few
Neutrality-suspicious. do not know Mrs. Taft
by sight. In all kinds of weather she
may be encountered swinging at a
good gait, sometimes miles from her
home. Walking is her panacea for all
ills, and she takes tramp Just as 9th
err women take a tonic. She is as high
a type of domestic woman as Mrs.
Roosevelt, and as her pleasures and
duties center around her home, she
is conspicuous in no other way. Mrs.
Taft loves to travel, and she has gath
cred many curios. She has pieces of
teak wood, ancient and absolutely orig
inal. She has silver which dates to
prehistoric days of the Chinese en-
pire. But one of her treasures is a
pair of lovely pearls, given by the ir-
repressible sultan of Sulu and without
the usual accompanying offer of mar
rage. When Mrs. Taft visited there
she was accompanied by the secretary,
then governor general, and his unmis-
taxable vigor might have been the
reason of the sultan's coyness.

A BIRD and a Greenback,

Bicycle Policeman McQuade has
been amusing the members of the pre-
cinct in which he does duty with a
story about a bird and a greenback,
remarks a Washington paper. Some
of his brother officers charge him
with having taken his story from an
almanac, but he denies the soft i'm
parchment and declares the story is a
correct version of what really &C.
Cured.
Il was strolling along on my beat
one bright afternoon" the bicycle po-
licepan stated, when suddenly I saw
a man pick up brick and raise his
arm as if he intended to strike a blow.
l grabbed his arm to prevent a prob
able murder, and the excited man
pointed to the upper branches of a
tree"
There was a bird in the tree with a
greenback in it's mouth. The sight of
the greenback, the policeman admits,
made him exceedingly interested, and
before he realized what he was do
ing he was looking for missile to
join. in the pursuit of the bird and

POPULAR CHINAMAN
WASHINGTON SORRY TO LOSE SIR
cElENTuNG.
Promotion Of Chinese Minister to Vice
Presidency of Foreign Office at
Picking a Distinguish
inq Honor.

Modifying the loud huzzahs of wei
come are the farewell notes sound
ed from day to day by those who
would speed the nations departing
guest, Sir Chentung Liang-Cheng, who
has been promoted from Chinese min
lister to this capital, says the Washing
ton Star, to the position of vice presl-
dent of the foreign Office at Picking.
The promotion and transfer at this
time, when the minister is in mourn
ing for his mother, is great surprise,
inasmuch as it is contrary to Chinese
custom to disturb an official in mourn
ing. In fact, such action is so rare
that history records it less than
half dozen times in more than 400
years. The rarity of the act makes
it more of a compliment to the recip-
lent of the honor, who, by the bye, is
graduate of two American colleges
of note and a westerner in all but
name and dress. He came to Wash
ingtOn on his present mission just four
years ago this month, succeeding the
pert and popular WI Ting Fang. Dur
ing his stay here he has greatly i'm
proved the legation home, furnishing
it according to Chinese custom and
adding as a marked feature person.
ally supervised garden. He is fond
of society and knows well how to en-
terrain. AS evidence of this is the long
list of dinners, musicales, teas and
luncheo2s he has engineered success
fully, with only the assistance of his
young daughter, who is not yet in
society. His favorite conceit for
table decoration is series of tiny
Towering plants set in the most ex-
| quisite vases.
As a baseball enthusiast Sir Chen

with skirts tucked up, he engaged in
tossup with his sons and their

the peer of any man in official life,
not even excepting the members of the
much talked of tennis cabinet" To
these accomplishments, Sir Chetung

STEEL STREETS IN PARIS.
Made of Harrow Points Filled in with
Fine Concrete.

Paris is experimenting with the
latest thing in pavement. They call IL
steel pavement, but it is really con-
crete pavement reinforced with steel
framework.
The trial section of it has been laid
on the rue Saint-Martin, in front OF
the conservatoire of arts and indus
tries.
The metal part of the pavement 10
a plate of perforated steel with strong
bolts of steel running through it be-
tween the perforations. Each section
has some resemblance to steel har-
row, only the prongs project equally
on each side and they are square and
blunt.
The plates are arranged close to-
gether on a bed of rough concrete,
such as is used for wood block pave.
ment. Then a specially prepared &C.
ment is shoveled upon them in soft
condition and rammed down until It
makes solid mass, with the steel
frame just leveled off evenly with the
upper tips of the prongs.
The steel prongs are so close to-
gether that the shoe of every horse
and every wheel of any width must
rest in part on them and in part ON
the cement.
It is expected in this way to Sc
cure highly durable, but distinctly
uneven surface, one on which horses
will have sure footing in all weathe7s
and on which they can secure the
necessary purchase to pull heaVy
loads.
It will be superior to asphalt in ul-
innate economy and to wood, both IN
the better footing that it affords to
horses and in the fact that it will not
admit of dangerous ruts developing.
The life of such pavement with
out serious repair is estimated at ten
wears as a minimum.-N. Y. Sun.
