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

Preceded by Songs and Dances Which
Last All Night.
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
C%herokees live on the Qualla reserva-
ton, In western North Carolina.
The neighborhood in which live,
writes an Indian girl in the Red Man,
is divided into four main sections
namely, Yellow Hill, Soco, Big Cove
and Birdtown. The Indians living in
one of these sections will challenge
those living in another to a 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 well 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 be-
gins. The object is to get it 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 the
ball around the poles at the end of the
field the greatest number of times win
the game.

OUR NATURAL sAvAGERY.
II Will at Times Break Through the
Veneer of Civilization.

It's n 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'n
see a small boy-or a grown man-dis-
cover a rabbit.
The first thought that m 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 a
rock TO throw ut It, just as some cav
man might.
A man finds a snake coiled in the
road. 1t may be a harmless snake.
but it's n snake, and therefore his
primitive instinct calls upon him to
kill II.
A weapon! He seeks about for a
club. just ms his ancient, skin clothed
ancestors would have done, and. hay
Ing secured the club, he dispatches
the snake, his soul singing with tri-
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
just as naturally as II he had never
seen a steam heated fat or ridden on
a trolley car or seen an automobile.
Children in the woods and eat
every variety Of berry they can find.
1t matters not II they be poisonous.
They taste them all from the looks,
aud the amount eaten depends on the
taste. This is probably what the ave
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 a more or less thick
veneer OF modern civilization. but let
emergencies arise and we're as print
tive as the most primitive Of u an.

absent She yielded possibly TO her
mothers wish. The boat was taken
out. and the guest Of the house. with
the %listless girl. ugaln left the bunga-
low.
Tomlinson bore the references to
Mlekleiohn. gritting his teeth. but
making no reply. His object was
rather to draw Alice's attention away
from this remarkable man to other
subjects from which he might the
more easily direct II to himself. He
exerted whatever lady killing faculties
he possessed for an hour. at the end o.
which time his companion seemed
really to haze plucked up some inter
est in her surroundings. Then for al
hour she failed to mention the lost one.
Tomllnson was encouraged.
Two weeks passed. each day being a
gradual drawing away Of Alice stet-
son from a man who was absent to a
man who was present. All the deli
cious little hooks which bordered on
the lake wee visited again and again.
and at last Tomlinson chuckled to
himself:
Nov bring on your M%ieklejOhn.'
One bright morning they were drift
ing idly through some PUSHES. There's
nothing like some rushes, some smooth
water, a little brush and a few over
hanging trees. with a man and a girl
in a boat. to make a picture OF young
love. Tomlinson was making an effort
to complete the shattering of the sa-
cred image-Mieklejohn. he overshot
the mark and made use Of the word
Glove" Had Miss Stetson been sitting
at the other end Of the boat from him,
possibly what happened might not
have happened. at least not then. But
they were sitting side by side. Alice's
head fell on Tomlinson's shoulder.
What could he do? He completed the
transition. The burden was removed
from the shoulders OF the dear de-
parted and placed upon those Of the
newcomer.
This is n letter written by Alice Stet-
son to her bosom friend Molly Bawn
announcing her engagement:
"You see. dearest, mamm knew
from Mrs. Tomlinson that Ned was be-
set by a lot Of society girls of that
class which is trying to live in swell
dom without having the means to do
so. Mrs. Tomlinson was afraid some
OF them would get him and, knowing
what a plain. modest. unassuming girl
I am, without a bit of deception in my
nature, she asked mamma to invite
Ned here, hoping he and might make
a match. Mamma said he wouldn't
look at me after all the fine ladies he
had met. This set me to thinking. and
/ determined to be as unlike them as
possible. When he came l pretended
to have just parted with somebody
else-a Mr.. Mieklejohn, | called him
talking about what a fine fellow he
was. how l missed him. and all that.
sill Ned got so mad every time I men
toned his name that / thought he
would murder me. Now I'm afrai'
he'll murder me when he finds out that
Mr.. Mieklejohn is a myth.
Were going TO be married during
the holidays, and l wish you to be my
first bridesmaid. We're not going to
have Il splurge wedding. but quite gay
enough to warrant the prettiest gown

Il Fills Mexican Poems With Some
thing Like Delirium Tremens.
Water bugs and worms are among
the tidbits in which the Mexican peon
delights. He catches his bugs as they
skim along the top Of fresh water
ponds, drying them and then eating
them with as much zest as an Amerl-
can boy eats peanuts. As near as the

nut, but as no white man has ever
tried eating water bugs, or If he has
doesn't dare confess it, the exact taste
of these Mexican morsels can't be de-
scribed very accurately.
The poems dote, too, on the nice,
fat pulque wormA This insect is about
two inches long and half an inch thick.
They fry the dainty In grease and
pack it in brown paper packages Of
q dozen worms, which fetch 2 cents
a paper. An industrious pulque worm
collector makes a good living.
The worm inhabits the maguey or
pulque plant, from which is distilled
the aqua mlel, or honey water, Of
Mexico. After twenty-four hours fer
mentation 1t is very intoxicating. Aft
er the Mexican has primed himself
with several drinks of aqua miel and
has smoked half a dozen cigarettes
made OF the dried leaf OF the merri-
huana weed and brown paper he is
ready for any crime of violence.
This combination Of stimulant and
narcotic has the effect Of deluding the
victim into thinking that his enemy
and every peon has a choice collection
Of enemies-is n pygmy in stature. At
the same time It gives him an idea
TINT he IS tremendously strong and
wonderfully brave. SO he sallies forth
to make mlncemeat OF his enemy or

local calaboose.

rihuana smoking is to dlstort the size

nous size and horrible shape. The
smoker is filed with a horrible fear,
something like the horrors brought on
by delirium tremens. A kitten or q
PUPPY TO his distorted vision appears
as some terrible creature. A common
sight in Mexico IS to see n swarthy
"greaser." armed 10 the teeth, Gee I'm

would fearlessly attack any man Will
