same opinion. The difficulty in making

Is that there are SO many people who

BEAR WAS HIS INDIAN WIFE.
Where the Hunter Shot Her is Now Called Bears
House.

Along one of the branches of the Cheyenne
river in South Dakota there stands hill called
Matou Bears House. Tradition tells this
Indian legend about it,
Once upon time an Indian hunter out
the chase He wandered for many a day
through forest and plain, hill and dale, till
he finally came to spot where Bears House
now is. Here he hunted for while until one day
he met a beautiful Indian woman.
AS soon he saw her he wanted to marry
her Long and hard was the wooing. for the
Indian unwilling to marry the
stranger At last she consented but she made
the stranger promise that he would never In the
future hunt or kill the bear. This animal was her
totem. sacred to her and an object of her wor-
ship. The hunter faithfully promised to obey her
wishes and to hunt all other animals and leave
the bear unframed, Then they were married
and lived In happiness and contentment for
many a day.
Once 1t happened that the hunter started on the
chase. Early he went and roamed all through
the neighboring forest without killing a single
thing At last he became weary and tired from
the chase and resolved to return to his wigw2m.
AS he was approaching his home he in the
dusky twilight the dark and shaggy form OF
huge bear making straight for the wigwam
Now my wife will be lost" he thought, for
II the bear reaches there before me he will
surely kill her

sent straight to the heart laid the animal low
When the Indian came near he instead of
the bear the lifeless form of his WIFE The hill
where they lived is still called the Bears House.
