ed that by this time they are tasting
the first fruits of liberty. We wish
them well. 1t is highly proper for old
er and wiser heads to wag dolefully
and predict all sorts of bad ends" for
boys who run away from home, but
what man Is there of full stature who
can blame them? We all know what
the boyish wanderlust is and how it
gets into the blood at the springtime
of year. Many staid old dodgers even
to-day look about at the trees and the
meadows and feel the call of the wild,
and long for the exultation of the open
places. And many and many more
staid old dodgers, remember In a mist
OF sweet memories times when they
themselves started to run away" and
seek their fortunes In the big wide
world. little more misty and little
more sweet Is the memory of those fu-
tile enterprises which left the dirty
and penltent boy on his knees with
his head in his mothers lap sobbing
for the very joy of being home again.
We all know the wanderlust of boy
hood. 1t Is a very natural and very
commendable emotion, for 1t indicates
spirit and enterprise and ambition to
do great things alone and unafraid. We
have all felt the wanderlust In ma
turer years that called us out into life,
sometimes alone and sometimes in the
companionship of loyal friend who
shared our timorous adventures. And
how many are there of gray-haired
old men in the world to-day who would
not feel that the price of the long strug-
gle was not too dear If they could only
return again along the weary years to
sob for joy at being In the old home
and penitent at mothers knee. Those
boys are all right. They do not now
realize the aching hearts they have
left behind, but the heritage of liberty
Is theirs and they are off to the fish
Ing pools, the swimming holes, seeking
whatever adventures may lie In their
paths. Mark Twain understood the
wanderlust when he told us about Tom
Sawyer and Huck Finn. 1t is boyish
nature. If all goes well, those boys
will be back again not a bit the worse
for their premature contact with the
world of selfishness and hunger. But
under whatever skies they wander we
sigh for their opportunities. We, old
er grown, still know the destinations
of the wanderlust.

INDIAN GIRLS COMING oUT."S

I'm the early part of one September
announced among the Apaches that
my daughter, Eva, having attained wo-
manhood, should put away childish
| things and assume her station as a
young lady" says Geronimo, the ia.
nous old war chief Of the Apaches, in
the story Of his life. At dance of the
tribe she would make her debut, and
| then, or thereafter, 1t would be proper
for warrior to seek her hand In mar
riage.
Accordingly Invitations were issued
to all Apaches and many Comanches
and Kiowas to assemble for a grand
dance on the green by the south bank
of Medicine Creek, near the village of
Naiche, former chief of the Chokonen
Apaches, on the first night of the full
moon In September. The festivities
were to continue for two days and
nights. Nothing was omitted In the
preparations that would contribute to
the enjoyment of the guests or the per-
fectlon OF the observance of the relig-
ious rites
To make ready for the dancing, the
grass on a large circular space was
closely cut. When the night came the
singing was led by Chief Naiche; and
Geronimo, assisted by his medicine
men. directed the dance.
First Eva advanced from among the
women and danced once round the
campfire; then, accompanied by an
other young woman. she again ad-
vanced and danced three times round
the campfire; the next time she and
three other young ladies advanced and
danced four times round the camp
fire. This ceremony lasted about an
hour.
Next, the medicine men entered.

Then the members of the tribe join

friends Of the tribe were asked to take
part In this dance, and when 1t was
ended many of the old people retired

The warriors stood in the middle OF

The buzzing, ringing or whistling IL
the ears-tinnitus, with the accent OF
the second syllable, 1t Is called-ls
often a most distressing and nerve.
racking condition.
The occasional temporary buzzing
that one often has as an accompani-
ment Of the latter stages of a cold In
the head is disagreeable enough, but
not intolerable; but when this noise
goes on hour after hour, day after
day, week after week, without a mo-
ment's cessation, 1t grows maddening.
1t is the last thing that Is heard before
going to sleep, the first thing on wax
ing In the morning, and when a mo-
ment's consciousness comes In the mid
die of the night, there Is that same
sound-a ringing of brazen bells, 1t
may be, or tinkllng, or the slow
breathing of a. locomotive at rest, or
the shriller sizzle Of escaping steam,
or continuous hum, now bass, now
a treble. but always and forever hum
without seconds intermission.
Tinnitus Is probably always due to
some disturbance of the nervous
mechanism of the ear, and In the ma
jority of instances Is associated with
deafness. 1t may be due to the action
of certain drugs. such as quinine, but
then Of course 1t Is only temporary.
Sometimes 1t occurs only when one Is
lying down; the cause of this may be
that a faint but constant ringing be-
comes audible only when everything
is still; or 1t may be due to slight con.
gestion, the blood flowing to the head
more readily and In greater volume
then than when one sits or stands
The most common form of head
noises Is that associated with chronic
catarrh. In these cases the disease
of the mucous membrane passes from
the throat through the Eustachian
tube into the drum of the ear, causing
deafness and tlnnitus. The two go to-
gether, but the noises, being more evil
dent to the sufferer, are usually com
planned of before the hearing fails.
The treatment Of head noises Is often
most difficult, and not infrequently
battles the skill Of the most experience
ed aurlsts. The hrst and most lmpor-
tant thing Is to. determine what pro-
duces the ringing In the ears. If the
cause can be found and removed, as
when. it is due to an accumulation of
wax in the ear, well and good; but If
1t occurs with deafness due to incura.
BILE changes in the ear itself, the pros
pect OF complete relief is less encour-
aging. But even intractable cases are
sometimes cured by persistent and In.
telligent treatment. OF course this
treatment must be carried out under
the care of skillful physician, cor
there Is nothing more foolish than
amateur treatment of ear diseases-
