Cooking Utensils,

'ouno an Exciting Use For the
Cooking Utensils,
The Indian. however ayerse he may
De to any kind of useful labor. Is moi
slow to avail himself of a new source
OF amusement This was shown some
years ago when among the supplies
sent by the government TO a certain
agency In the west were several hum
ured large frying pans with long ham
dies.
These the Indian agent found In
STOCK when he took possession. and at
the end OF the year the number had
not been diminished. Thinking that
perhaps he had not discharged his
whole duty In the matter of supplying
Uncle Sans wards with these culinary
utensils, the agent began making spe-
cial efforts to induce the red men 10
use them.
AT first 1t was hard work, but by the
time he had given out about two dozen
there came sudden change. Not a
day passed in which the agent did not
have applications for at least a dozen.
and some days he disposed of twice
that number.
When the supply was nearly ex-
hausted he noticed among the appli.
cants some to whom he had previous.
ly given pans. and naturally enough h.,
became triae curious to know what
use they were making OF them. He
questioned several OF the men to no
purpose. bur at length a young buck
more communicative than the rest gave
him to understand that IL he would
visit certain part OF the reservation
not far away he would find his in
quiry answered
The next day. therefore. the agent
rode out in the direction Indicated.
About two miles from the agency he
noticed on the crest of a narrow spur
of the mountain three or four Indians
who suddenly disappeared on the OPP
posite side of the ridge. at the same
time he heard family the cry OF many
voices
On turning the point Of the ridge he
saw crowd of several hundred In
dams who were shouting as 1: greatly
excited. He noticed also several oh
jects. which he at 6rst supposed to be
powders. descending the side of the
mountain toward them with tremen.
dous rapidlty.
Instead OF fleeing from these moving
objects the Indians simply applauded
and shouted. Soon he saw other OBJ
jects like the first descending, and in a
short time the whole situation was
plain to him.
Having selected a long. smooth slope
of the mountain where there were no
stones. the Indians had converted IL
into a sort of earthen toboggan slide
and were utilizing the frying pans as
toboggans. Seating themselves in the
pans. they grasped the handles with
both hands; then. crossing their legs
over their arms. they went spinning
down the slide with great rapidity.
The agent let them have the few pans
that remained In the storehouse. but
did not order a new supply. -Harper's
