Cali WISCONSIN Their Birthplace.

Call Wisconsin Their Birthplace.
Madison.-In the mythology Of the
Winnebago Indians, the story which is
now being recorded by DR.. Paul Radin,
the tribe has, in it's weird, ancient
story-narratiye, which has been hand
ed down through the ages, much that
is as mysterious and wonderful as In
the story of the childhood of the hui
man race that comes from the Garden
of Eden.
Doctor Radin is sent out by the
chronological bureau Of the Smith
sonian institute at Washington to de-
vote certain space of time each year
to certain tribes. He has been at
work among the Winnebago three
seasons and has boxes Of written
stories, nearly completing the won
derful tale as it has come down
through the years. Some time this
will be printed by the government
and become an endless source OF To-
cal color for authors.
Ethnologists, from a study OF Ian
guages of cognate tribes and other
sources, had concluded that the Sioux
nation, of which the Winnebago are
a tribe, migrated from the Atlantic
coast about the Piedmont or the Blue
mountains of Virginia and North Caro-
lima, down the Cumberland gap and
the Ohio river, before De Soto discov-
cred the Mississippi river. Neverthe-
less the old Winnebago traditions per
sistently claim the genesis of their
race as occurring in the beautiful oak
openings and prairies of Wisconsin.
Those who may be disposed to be
skeptical, may suppose the tribe as re-
siding upon this beautiful boundary
so long that their story has become
gradually changed as to location, yet
they believe in it all as firmly and per
sistently as do those millions who ad-
NIT the Bible as their source of his
tory as to the raising up of Adam
from a pinch of dust and Eve from his
ribs.
The Christian race is not SO for
tunate, however, as their dusky
brethren. For no one pretends to point
to the place of the white mans be-
ginning, while our dusky brothers
think they can locate their Garden Of
Eden They are certain 1t is in Wis
consin. They are certain it is along
the eastern border near Lake Michi-
gan, and in fact one clan, the Bear
clan, came up from the spirit world
out of Lake Michigan as bear, and
shaking the waters from his long hair
on the shore, and looking about on
this beautiful land turned into hui
man being.

McGovern Urges Support for Fair.
For the first ta-nc in the his

Volunteers are needed to impersOnate

whereby special transportation facili-
ties for the state fair will surpass
