DANCE LIKE ORIENT
FEATURES OF SACRED RITES
OF ALASKAN INDIANS.
Striking Similarity Between Their
Style Of Dancing and That of the
Natives Of Eastern
Countries.

Like many other tribes OF Indians
the world over, the Indians of south.
eastern Alaska have their sacred
| dances, but ii Is strange fact hard
to account for that their dance is like
! the dance of the orient which was ex-
| plotted at the Chicago Midway by
Little Egypt, and which at rare inter
walls can be witnessed in Hawaii.
After season of prosperity In
either hunting or fishing the Alaskans
VIII assemble at an agreed time and
place, and II there are no white peo-
pie present members of the tribe,
trained from very young girlhood for
the ceremony, will give the dance
with without a yestige of clothing.
When, as Is sometimes the case, white
men are present at these abdominal
muscle dances, the performers out Of
respect to the conyentionalities don a
semi-ciYilized costume, and thus at
tired will move in curious measures
for the stipulated time.

before II died AS it was with the
song OF the swan, so 1t was also with
the native dance they said, it was
sung just prior to the dying of that
beautiful bird. and so 1t will be with
the dance. The barbarous rhymic
gymnastic rite is only observed In the
afterglow of eyentide, when the big
log fire will cast its shadows from a
large fireplace in mystic shapes e,ross
a dark room.
The Indians do not make a practice
of Boosting Of their dance, but they
love it, and only favored few in the
upper council of the chief are invited
to these functions. None of the
church people will ever see them. or
will any of the many tourists. 1t is
left for the Indian TO choose, and not
for the white man to want, as to who

There never was more absurd

Of the distinctive issues to decide
which the war had been undertaken,
was settled or even mentioned.
"Of the impressment of American |
seamen not word was said. The |

The rights of neutral nations were
left as undetermined as before. OIL
free trade and sailors rights which |
had been the battle-cry Of the Ameri,

The principal articles of the com.

The Mules Understood.

A story is told of Senator Knute Nelson, who spent some of his early years in logging camp. He there discovered the necessity of certain emphatic language in order to make mules move. "All varieties" of tongues were in demand in that camp: Scandinavian, German, Italian-but none of the words used seemed to have the explosive force to adjust the tempo of the mule to the desired pace Along came a strapping Irish man, who used some popular exple. tives, usually indicated in print by blank, blank. or - The mules moved!
