LEGEND OF THE IRoouoIs
Canadian Indians Have Their Own
Way Of Accounting for tho Five
Races Of Men.

The 1roquois Indians Of Canada, in
their efforts 10 account to themselves
for the existence Of the i've races Of
men with which they are acquainted,
have shaped the following legend: In
the beginning the Great Spirit, in or.
der to people the earth, went about
making man Of each nation. He
took q lump Of earth and nodded it
into q man. This first man was q
negro. Then he took another lump
and nodded another man. This was
a Chinaman. Then he made an Indian
in the same way. and gave life to all
three.
But two men, Frenchman and an
Englishman, remained to be created,
and no earth was at hand wherewith
to make them. What was to be done?
The Great Spirit reached out his arm
and seized the first animal that came
in his way. It was a butterfly. The
Great Spirit clipped OF its wings.

1t to give 1t q soul and set It down
in q corner Of the earth. This was
the first Frenchman.
Again extending his arm, the Great
Spirit seized another animal. It was
an ant. 1t was treated as the butter.
hy had been; It was given the face
and soul Of a man. and was set down
In another coner Of the earth. This
was the first Englishman.

story, why the English and the French

way 30 easily about the earth. Made

the new ruts of the wheels. We

We pressed our horses tanks and :
the animals broke into trot. Now
we were entering upon the great for

an hour or more we logged along bri-
