Continuous Indian Dance.

The Cheyenne and Arapahoes are
holding their annual squaw dance at
this place. More than 5000 Indians
are encamped at the city park. The
dance is continuous one day and
night and will last for several days.
The bucks and sQuaws all take part
in these festivities, and the little
ones can be seen initiating their elders
by dancing around all the time the
tomtom is pounded. The garments
worn by some of the tribe are things
of beauty, bedecked as they are with
feathers, beads and other ornaments.
Some have bells on their wrists and
ankles and the movements made by
them seem to be for the purpose of
getting as much noise as possible out
of these things.-Watanga Herald.

FIRST VISIT TO THE COUNTRY.
humorous Comment Made by Little
Visitors from the City.

The questions and answers of little
boys and girls upon their first visit to
the country are often truly amusing
One little boy from the city slums was,
with great difficulty, coaxed to go. He
said he heard there were "thrashing
machines" in the country. and he
didn't want to go there to be thrashed.
The same little boy. when asked why
the chickens interested him SO great
ly. replied. I've only seen them that's
been peeled in the city" Another lit
tie boy once went to the country on
visit. Seeing his aunt plucking the
feathers from a chicken that evening,
he asked: "Auntie, do you undress all
the chickens before putting them to
bed?' The COWS were favcrites with
Lottie, little girl Of eight. She begged
to be permitted to milk, and, finding
herself rather Unsuccessful. thought
she'd better begin on calf first"
Lottie also wanted to know if you had
to buy gum for the cows to chew on
and whether the milk that came from
n separator was the same that came
from the cows. She thought II was SO
funny, too, that all hens ate with
their noses" l.a.

TEARS OF THE CROCODILE.
Belief Said to Have Origin in an
Ancient Fable.

The phrase crocodile tears" owes
its origin to the Imagination of some
of the old travellers, who invented the
fable that the crocodile weeps over its
prey. One of the earliest English
globe-trotters to mention this fiction
was Sir John Vaudeville, who in his
Travels" Q499. speaking of "Aethi-

PUT TAX ON BACHELORS.
State of Argentine Republic Was
Harsh on Those UnWed.

Although much has been written in
modern times in earnest and in fun
on the taxation of bachelors, there are
not many corners of the earth where
such a system of taxation is intro
duced as was done in the state of Cor
doba, in the Argentine republic, at the
beginning of the twentieth century.
There every male who has passed his
twentieth year is considered fit for
marriage, and the state enjoins upon
him the duty of finding companion
for life. If he remains single till the
completion of his thirtieth birthday,
he must pay for his freedom tax OF
1--WE dollars month Then the tax in
creases $40 a month at the age OF 30,
and even to $50 month from the age
OF 35 to so. From the age of 60 the
tax gradually decreases. Widowers
have only three years given to enjoy
their liberty, after which they have

Used PIow on Shipboard.

A common, everyday farm plow was
used in unloading the cargo of the
Ammon at San Francisco. The entire
hold was filled with 1900 tons of inter,
which had frozen into one solid mass
and very hard. Explosives could not
be used, and picks and shovels were
too slow. AS joke bystander sug-
gested they better use plow. The
captain. however, decided to try the
plan, and bought a good-sized plow.
and by means of block and tackle
and steam winch pulled it back and
forth the length of the hold. The
plow loosened the inter as fast as a
big gang could shovel it into the steel
buckets. This is probably the only in
stance on record where a ships cargo
