courtshIp Among Animals.

Another human trait that seems
almost universal among the lower
animals is the coyness and reluc-
lance of the female in her relations
to the male. Her first impulse is to
refuse and to flee She is negative
as the male is positive. Among the
birds there is something like regular
courtship. there is rivalry and jeal-
ousy and hostile collision on the part
of both sexes. With the birds, the
propagating instinct in the female IL
evidently not subject to the same
law of recurring intervals that it is
among mammals. Hence the female
must be stimulated and won by the
male, He addresses himself to her
In a way that is quite exceptional. IL
IL occurs at all, among mammals. His
aim seems to be to kindle or quicken
her sexual and mating impulses. In
tire case of mammals these impulses
recGr at certain periods. and no
courtship on the part of the male is
neoessary.--John Bpree.ghs in Out

While charging over the PROSTATE sol
der, pinioned beneath his dead horse,
the chief received wound from the
bullet OF a 45-caliber revolver, which
burrowed the flesh on the right thigh
for about four inches. running dag
onally upward showing 1t to have
been fired from beneath him. Shortly
after he received another wound, the
bullet entering the back of the left
knee. Rain-in-the-Face dismounted
with difficulty, and In order TO remove
the bullet from the wound used his
scalp knife. In doing so he severed
the tendons of the leg. which depr,v-
ed him of its use forever.
Rainin-the-Face did not fight ali
his battles upon the field. Some were
fought upon the hearth. He admits
having had seven wives. few of which
lived either long or happily with him,
and the final chapter of his domestic
life, il domestic 1t can be called, clos.
ed with the violent death of his last
spouse. The unfortunate seventh
was found dead in his tepee with her
throat cut from ear to ear. When
asked about the cause of her death,
he denied all knowledge of the matter
and calmly went about his business.
OF course it would be upjust to as
cribe this sad ending of his seventh
venture to Am without proof More
strangely still. and paradoxical as It
may appear, he is now an Indian POI

Probably the most interesting n
not the most famous, Indian in the
annals of the Sioux Is Rain-in.the-
Face. For many years he was a
war chief of note and later an exile
in Canada. AT present he passes
his days on the Standing Rock reser-
walton in North Dakota. the last OF
the great Souix leaders. He is a
full blooded Unkpapa Sioux, and was
born some 90 years ago In the north
ern part of South Dakota, one of the
family of six brothers, the most ceie-
brated of whom, excepting himself,
was Iron Horse. Physically he is OF
splendid proportions and remarkably
striking in appearance although
wound In the right leg necessitates
the use of crutches. Time mas dealt
kindly with him and he shows but
few traces of his years. His career
has been strenuous one from the
time of his birth until our last trouble
with the Indians at Pine hdge
With the hope of adding something
new and cer,alnly at first hand to
