CHEROKEE BALL GAME.
Preceded by Songs and Dances Which
Last All Niqht,

The ball game as played by the
Cherokees is as important to them as
football or any other popular game is
to other people. The eastern band OF
Cherokees live on the Qualla reseva'
lion, iii western North Carolina.
The neighborhood in which I live,
writes an Indian girl in the Red Man,
is divided into four main sections
namely, Yellow Hill, 5000, Big Cove
and Birdtown. The Indians living in
one of these sections will challenge
those living in another to game Of
ball. They choose their players and
agree upon the time and place for
playing the game. 1t is generally
played in an open field far different
from the we'll graded field upon which
the game of football is played.
The evening before the game the In
dams, the women included, hold a
dance in their respective sections OF
the country. These dances are held in
the open air, usually near some small
stream. The women do the singing
while the men dance. In their songs
they make all kinds of remarks about
those of the opposing side. These
dances continue all night long. From
the time of the dances until after the
game the players are not allowed to
eat any food.
The following day the people from
the different sections gather at the ap'
pointed place to witness the game
They either sit or stand around the
edge of the field. The ball players
each have two sticks similar to those
used in the game of lacrosse, only
smaller. The ball is tossed up In the
center of the field, and the game De-
gins. The object is to get 1t AROUND
two poles placed at each end OF the
field a certain number of times. they
cannot pick up the ball in their hands
The players who succeed in getting inc
ball around the poles at the end OF the
field the greatest number of times VIII

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec 24.-Dr. Patrick
H. Hayes, who is 60 years old but ath-
letic, sou,dly pummelled a man in
Municipal Judge Hines court today
and was unrebuked for the surprising
attack
1t came about in this manner. When
Hayes was attacked by Edward Meyers,
an alleged pickpocket and hold-up man,
Friday night. the physician punched
Meyers until the latter cried enough.
Hayes then called policeman, and had
Meyers taken to Jail.
What did you do, doctor, when this
man tried TO rob YOU" asked the court
today when Meyers was ararigned for
trial.
Without making reply, Hayes jumped
at Meyers with the agility of a boy,
seized the prisoner by the collar of his
coat, threw him against bench, struck
him repeated blows with clinched fists
and wound up by hurting Meyers to the
floor of the court room and sitting upon
him.
"There, Judge. that's what l did, said
Hayes, as he loosed his hold on the pri-
soner.
Meyers, who is "a years old, was held
to the grand jury on bonds of $1,000.

Vote Buying Was

to the absence of railways, telegraphs
and telephones. West Union, the
county seat, is not reached by either
telegraph or railway.
In this respect it stands alone
among county seats in Ohio. 1t is
apparent that both parties have par
ticipated in vote buying.
Starting at 81 and 81, prices have
risen in recent years to $40 per vote
Much of the booding was almost pub
lie. Instances of auctioning votes
are reported. Men in all walks Of
life, and of unblemished reputation
otherwise, have been caught in the
net.
So far only vote sellers have been
prosecuted. So strong have been the
demands for compensation for their
ballots that Office holders have been
able to earn only small net stlaries.

OUR NATURAL SAvAGERY.
Il Will at Times Break Through the
Veneer of Civilization.

Veneer OF Civilization.
It's mighty short step from modern
civilization to the natural impulses of
ancient savagery. If you don't believe
it just watch some time, and you'll
see small boy--or a grown man-dfs-
cover rabbit.
The first Thought that comes into his
mind is to kill the rabbit. Quickly he
searches his mind to see where a
weapon can be found.
The second thought is to secure q
rock to throw at it, just as some cave
man might.
A man finds snake coiled in the
road. It may be a harmless snake
but it's snake, and therefore his
primitive instinct calls upon him to
kill it.
A weapon! He seeks about for
club. lust as his ancient, skin clothed
ancestors would have done, and, hav'
ing secured the club, he dispatches
the snake, his soul singing with tr1
umph.
Modern civilization probably would
have urged the man to cut a forked
stick and catch the snake by the neck
with it, then to secure 10 cents worth
Of chloroform and kill it swiftly and
painlessly. But he goes after the club
lust as naturally as if he had never
seen a steam heated fiat or ridden on
a trolley car or seen an automobile.
Children roam in the woods and eat
every variety Of berry they can find.
It matters not If they be poisonous.
They taste them all from the looks,
and the amount eaten depends on the
taste. This is probably what the cave
children did, and the modern Infants
show the same intelligent caution re-
garding what they put in their mouths.
It's that way all through. We may
have acquired more or less thick
veneer Of modern civilization, but lei
emergencies arise and we're as priml'
tive as the most primitive Of our an
cestors.-Galveston News.

MistIetoe q Menace.

Few people who know mistletoe only
as q desirable feature Of Christmas
decorations understand that the plant
is a parasite dangerous to the life Of
trees in the regions in which it grows.
1t is only q question Of time after
tnlstlntoe once begins lo grow upon a
tree before the tree itSeu W
killed. The parasite saps the life OF
the infected branches, Fortunately 1t
is of slow growth, taking years to de-
velop to large proportions, but when
neglected it invariably ruins all trees
it reaches. The only method of exter'
mination is the cutting down Of dis
eased trees.-EXchange.

The skin Of the fish does not suggest
itself as suitable material for the
making of clothes, yet it is used for
this purpose by a tribe Of Tartars In
Manchuria. They inhabit the banks
Of the Peony river and live by fishing
and hunting. During the past 100
years they have become nearly extinct
owing to the invasion of their domain
by agricultural Chinese. They are
known as Fishskin Tartars. The fish
they use is the tamara, a species OF
