Probably one the heartiest laughs
which the duke of Connaugn., now
governor general of Canada, ever en-
joys, says ths Tattler, was that oc-
casioned by the remark of an Irish
peasant. who one day while the duke
was driving in Dublin with the duch-
ess ran alongside the carriage and
kept up with 1t in an astonishing fash
Ion. SO persistent was the man IN
his endeayors to keep pace with the
carriage that at length the duchess
had the veisc'e stopped and asked the
man what he wanted. He said that
he was anxious TO get good look at
their royal highnesses. Tho Ouch
ess was much fiattered and asked him
how he managed to keep up with
them. "Oh." he said, "shure. haven't

KEEP TRIBAL CUSTOMS
sARcEE INDIANS DISREGARD
MARCH OF TIME.
History, Intended for Posterity, stiII
10 Recorded In Crude Fashion on
the Hides OF Steers-OId Men
Tell of Adventures.

Within twelve miles of Calgary, a
city of $4,000 peori e. and with tele-
phone communication with that city,
tho Sarcee Indians pursue their lives
and observe exactly es their forefa-
therG did the ancient habits and GUS
toms Of thei- tribe, says the Toronto
Globe.
Two years ago there was great
festival at which seven OF the oldest
chiefs related the stories of their ex-
ploits, which the painter of the tribe
preserved for posterity on two Inn
mense steer hides. These hides are
now carefully preserved at the office
TIL Indian lad relies for his history
on campfire stories and well-tanned
steer hide covered with queer char
acters. painted crudely with sort OF
ink made Of the juices >of plants.
These records are not haphazard.
but they are not altogether regular.
When several chiefs and medicine
men of the tribe are growing old an
assembly is arranged where the IA
nous indian interpreter and painter
meets the aged men. One by one the
old men stand forth before the people
an6 recount the stories of their lives.
They tell thrilling tales Of the bat
ties In which they have fought, Of tho
scalps taken, and the horses they
have stolen. These three achieve
ments are regarded els the three most
honorable and valorous exploits OF
the great men. Compared with these
the white mans election to parlia-
ment. his appointment to high Office.
and his great commercial achieve
ments are as nothing.
Sometimes their meetings last sew
eral days. The old men are enthusi-
astic In their descriptions Of by
gone days; thep recite rapidly and
gesticulate much. The members Of
the tribe. sitting about them, listen
eagerly, storing the details to be told
over and over again to their sons
sons. until they are tribal traditions
Of the long past. AS they talk the
painter sits upon the ground with mis-
steer hide spread before him and
paints with his rude ayes pictures to
illustrate the incidents.
A circle represents a barricade or
encampment; awkwardly drawn pic
lures Of animals stand for the, horses
he has stolen; a galloping horse, with
man on his back, suggests the story
Of wild fight across the prairie be-
fore pursuing enemies; a flag may
mean bloody battle won; tadpole-
like mark. a scalped Indian. The
figures are very crude, the drawings
no better than those four-year-old
child makes on its slate. But some In
genuity is exercised In the grouping,
and each sketch is. in way, key
to the thrilling tales which In time
become history.
