could desire and was titled with idols Of

through Egypt he commanded the priest
to bring his daughter before him. This

The Religion of the Osages

From the New York Times.
No tribe of American Indians has
more refined religion than the Osages.
Its teachings are kept alive In these later
days by secret society known as the
Wah-ho-pahs, or the Order of the Dove.
The Wah-ho-pahs relate that the spirit
of man came upon earth seeking incar
nation long after It was inhabited by
birds and beasts. The spirit wandered
through the forests crying out to each
animal il met, "Io, elder brother. the
children have no bodies.' The fox sent
the spirit to the beaver, and the beaver
sent it to the bear and the bear to the
redbird.
The spirit found the redbird sitting In
a cedar tree by the river bank. and re-
peated to it the plaintiye cry for incar-
nation. "Ho, elder brother, the children
have no bodies" The redbird granted
the spirit its prayer saying: Il will give
your children bodies My blood shall be
their blood, my bones shall be their bones.
and they shall see with my eyes. My
feathers shall cover their heads but
their legs shall be bare as mine are bare
SO the children of man came and dwelt
under the cedar trees by, the river, and
every animal of the forest in the begin
ming was their elder brother. The bear
they claimed as their grandfather. and to
them he was the embodiment of physical
strength and prowess. Even Osages now
living are often heard to address pray
er to their "grandfa theT" the bear, for
physical strength to overcome sickness
and death. In this they do not attribute
to the bear divine strength, merely ply
sicah and moral strength; the redbird. or
dove, alone having divine attributes.
If warrior lost his scalp, which repre-
sents the feathers OF the bird conferred
upon him when he was first 'incarnated
he thus lost all connection between the
mortal and the immortal. For such there
could be no immortality. for when they
took up their journey after death and
came to the parting Of the trails, they
would grow confused and take the wrong
trail followed by.aan who offend the
Great Spirit-the trail that had no end
and led to no place. an eternity OF wan
dering. And this was all the punishment
the osages believe will fall to the most
abJect and vicious of mankind.

signed to the tending of the fruit and
flowers in his masters garden and from
her window Zuleika watched him as

monolith the eyes Of Joseph had rested

beauty of the stone, but it's associations
that held me spellbound and set me again
to dreaming. 1t was in the City of Or
that the second chapter of the love story
of Joseph and Zuleika opens.
The sun was about to set when the
caravan which we last saw in the
moonlight entered Heliopols. Joseph's
face then shone brighter than the mid
day sun; and as the new light from
the east shone in the city and cast
the shadows toward the declining sun,
all the women and damsels ran out
upon the terraces or to the windows to
see the cause of the strange phe-
noraenon.
The following day Joseph was Of
King and all the wealthy ladies of the
city sent their husbands or relatives
to bid for the beautiful youth. but he
was purchased by Potiphar, the Kings
treasurer, who was childless and de-
signed making the handsome stranger
his adopted son and heir. The Arabs
say that the treasurer's name was Aziz

quet to which she invited all the ladies
who had blamed her and at the close of
the feast when the fruit and the wine
were brought in. an orange and a knife
were placed, before each guest, and at
the same moment Joseph was inducted
into the room. The ladies were so aston
ished at his transcendent beauty that in
keeping their eyes fixed upon the lad,
they cut their fingers in mistake for the
fruit until the table was deluged with
blood.
"This,'' said Zuleika, rs the youth on
whose account you blame me. 1t is true
that loved him, but he spurned me and
love is now turned to hate. / shall have
him cast into prison"
This she had done and she managed
to keep Joseph seven years in prison by
having her friends lay against the youth
the same charge that sne had preferred.
At last the kings baker, Mnlilib, and
his butler, named Kamra, were incar-
cerated with Joseph upon a charge of

ambassador to attempt to poison Pharaoh

claimed. He repeated to the butler the
names of the ladies who had attended
the banquet of Zuleika and to whom she
had confessed that she loved him and
asked that they be called as witnesses
before the king. Pharaoh agreed, the
ladies were interrogated and related all
that had been said and Zuleika herself
confessed the truth.

the love story for the Jewish and Mus
salman traditions give Zuleika quite a
different characted from the one at
tributed to her by the holy scriptures.
Joseph had been made chief treasurer
in Potiphars place and one day as he
rode out of town to inspect his mag
azines and storehouses he observed a
begrar woman whose appearance was
most pitiful and he approached her
with compassion, holding out to her a
handful of gold. The beggar hesitated

which was the first step on the
ladder by which thou mount

Then it was that Joseph recognized in

husband and was told that shortly af-
