been discharged as not suitable for the
experiment. Out Of the 1875 individuals,

of patients being 2.92 to family. The
report shows that the average resi-

Long time ago, II was the old men
who told the little boys about the ami
NAL people and the Yunwi Tsunsdi. 1t
was in the long winter evenings. as the
fire died down from tall flames to
Goals with gray dust all over their
heads that the boys would hear most
about the Yunwi Tsunsdi-the little
people," or fairies, that lived away
out in the wood.
But almost any time the boys would
hear the stories OF the animals, and
this one was told to them when they
were eating supper. 1t was only neces-
sary for one little boy to call out that
he wanted more grease on his beans
to start the old man on that story
about the time the rabbit went TO have
supper with the bear.
1t was this way, as the old men
told 1t:
Once the rabbit was sent out as
messenger to call all of the animals
in council to decide about where they
would plant their corn that year and
where they would plant their beans.
All day the rabbit went from one
house to the next, and just as the sun
was going down the came to the bears
house.
"Siyu!" (helloD said the bear, you
look all tired out and hungry"
Yes" said the rabbit. the road up
to your house is very rocky, and be-
gan to get a blister on my left hind
foot about two hours ago. I tell you,
the fellow that gets reputation for
going fast is always kept on the
jump" And as the rabbit limped 10
chair beside the door, he blew out his
cheeks and shifted.
What you smell cooking in there
are BEANS" said the bear.
And that reminded the rabbit Of his
message, and when he had told the
bear to be sure to come to the council,
he got up and made as If to 60 away.
"You must stay and eat supper with
me-" said the bear. and the rabbit said
he would II the bear would only give
him plenty Of grease in his beans.
