To illustrate. There Is a little city in
the central part of Wisconsin, a beau
tiful little place. with its shady streets
and pleasant homes. It has several
general stores owned by live. wide
awake merchants, who are hustling for
business. yet are always pleasant and
ready to visit with customer. They
are not put out at any time to show
goods, taking down bolt after bolt of
cloth and maybe then not making even
a fve-cent sale. They take that as
part Of their business; they are always
willing to send post-haste TO the city
for any article they may not have in
stock that is wanted by customer:
their stocks are up-to-date and free
from shelf-worn goods. These men
make the humblest customers feel vel
come in their stores, and particular at
tention is paid TO waiting on children.
giving them even better measure and
quality than their elders would re-
ceive. And these men are advertisers.
Their ads in the local papers are
changed regularly and show time and
study. They meet the mail order man
more than half way in special sales
and clearing Of odds and ends. Here
IS an instance where there is no legi-
innate excuse for a person sending
away after goods. And the people do
not Very few articles OF general mer-
chandise are shipped into that city.
The buyer and seller are working in
harmony to their own betterment and
advantage.
But look at the other side. The city
which We haze in mind has one hard.
ware and one furniture store. Both
have fairly good stocks for the size Of
their circle Of trade, but just step into
either one OF these stores. The pro.

Why Girls Cannot Throw.

a great deal of fun is poked at
girls because they cannot throw a
stone or a SNOWFALL and hit the per-
son or thing they are aiming at.
The general idea as to why girls
cannot throw as well as boys is that
they have not acquired the knack
by practice as their brothers have.
Another explanation is given by a
medical man, which tends to show
that girls could never learn the
knack, however much they tried.
When a boy throws a stone he
crooks his elbow and reaches back
with his forearm, and in the act of
throwing he works every Joint from
shoulder to wrist. The girl throws
with her whole arm rigid, whereas
the boys arm is relaxed. The rea-
son of this difference is one Of
anatomy. The girls collar bone
is longer and is set lower than
in the case Of a boy. The long.
crooked, awkward bone interferes
with the free use Of the arm. This
is the reason that girls cannot
throw well.

AN IRooUoIs LEGEND.
Fantastic Origin Of the ranee Of .hs
Faise Faces.

TNi1r Y TANr1s
The 1roquois Indians on their
reservations in New York state
maintain many of their primitive
customs, although they have adopt
ed in general the mode Of life Of
their white neighbors. In their
famous 1ong house are held vari-
Gus ceremonies propitiatory of the
different seasons in the year, and
among the most interesting is the
dance of the false faces. It's legend
airy origin is fantastic.
According to the present version,
this earth was created by Haven't
yu before mortal man was made.
While this creator was admiring his
work monstrous head with glaring
eyes and flowing hair drifted into
view
'What are you doing on my
earth ?" cried the monster.
'1t is not yours, but mine," re-
torted Ha-wen-i-yu.
"You liew was the reply. "I
have lived here since the begin
ming of the worldw
"But / made the world!" cried
Ha-wen-i-yu.
prove it" said the monster, and
to demonstrate his own power he
beckoned to a mountain to ap-
proach. 1t moved up and took
position near by.
Now Ha-wen-i-yu asked the mon
ster to turn aside for a moment |
and at the same instant commanded |
the mountain to approach so swift |
ly that it struck the side of the |
face and twisted the fea-
lures awry, giving it the expression
of a modern false face. AT this dis
play of mysterious power the mon
ster acknowledged Ha-wen-i-yu's
superiority and begged for his life
and that of his people This was
finally granted upon the condition
that the false face people should
live forever at the ends of the earth,
where they would be unseen of men.
In return for this permission they
would aid mankind in curing the
sick upon the proviso that the lat
ter kept their memory sacred.
The Iroquois have a false face
society in honor of those mysterious
people at the ends of the earth, and
every new year they hold a dance
for them. Hideous wooden masks
are worn by the dancers, who 90

beating of a turtle shell rattle.
During this ceremony the sick re-
'eive the closest attention and are
to derive great benefit
through the medium Of the dance.

TANNING WASPs.



Directly | catch wasps | give
them hone, from my hand and then
place them in a large glass jar and
leave them to themselves for sew
eral hours. BY that time they are
generally hungry again, so, uncov-
ering the jar, | put my hand in
with some honey on it. AS soon
as they are comfortably settled on
it | withdraw my hand slowly from
the jar, so that on flying off after
their meal they find themselves in
free space. The first things to be
explored are the windows, and then,
when they have quite satisfied them
selves that they cannot get through
the glass, they fly about the room,
alighting first on this object, then
on that, until ! catch them and re-
place them in their home. The
easiest way to catch them to begin
with is by inclosing them with ones
hands as they are flying. Later on
they get so accustomed to this that
they will dodge about in the clever
est manner and refuse to be caught
in this way, but as by that time
they are generally sufficiently tanned
to be picked up gently between the
finger and thumb it does not mat
ter. If they are never fed except
from the hand they soon come to
know their feeder, and all my wasps
when loose in the room would fly
on to my hand if they were hungry
and refuse to go away from it until
fed.
As aD example of these crea-
lures intelligence l would quote
the following instance: One wasp
that had for some time and that
was exceedingly tame used to be
loose in my room constantly, and
she was so clever at lodging me
when | tried to catch her to put her
home that / resorted to the ruse of |
placing piece of blue stuff in front |
Of her so that when she unsuspect-
ingly walked on it could drop both
it and her into her home.
After a time she learned this
and would on no account get on to
The stuff. Suppose she was walk
ing toward the north. Directly I
put the stuff in front of her she
would wheel around to the south
md 90 off in that direction, but no
sooner had l altered the cloth than
3he was around again to the north.
She knew that piece of blue stuff
meant home, and so she would
nave nothing to do with it. This
same wasp would often creep down
ny neck inside my collar and then
20 to sleep there, and on several
l nearly lost her in this
way, for l would forget completely
lbout her and on one occasion actu-
lily went out of the house before I
enembered.-Maysie Black -Haw-
