New Indian Animal Stories
How the Ccada Brought the Beans.
BY John VI. oskison.

Long time ago, in midsummer, when
Lalu tthe cicada) began to sing, tho old
women among the Indians used TO go
out to the fields With their baskets to
gather green beans. And while tScy
were away in the fields one OF the old
men would gather the little children
and promise so tell them of how the
cicada brought the beans to the people
If the little ones would only keep quiet
until their mothers and their grand
mothers got back and had put some
beans to cook i'm the pot.
So while the little ones listened, the
old man would tell them this story:
1t was at the time the animals got
so crowded in Galun-lati Chc world
above the arch of the SKYE that they
sent the tiny water beetle down to the
world below to find some earth And
after the water beetle had gone down
TO the bottom of the water which COW
cred all the earth at that time and
had brought up a bit of mud, and after
this bit OF mud had grown to be the
earth as we know ii now, the animals
all came down from Galun-lati
Now, they were in such a hurry to
get down 10 this earth. which they
could see by looking over the edge of
the world above, that 1t was hard for
the great beaver, who was chief of the
animal people to make them remember
to take food with them. Over and over
the great beaver had to tell the ami
mails that they had to take seed to
plant on the new earth. as well as
food to last them until the seed had
had time to grow.
1t was springtime when the earth
got hard enough for the animals to
live on; and then they came down. hand
over hand, by way OF the four cords
which had been let down TO hold the
earth from the four corners of the
world above, Every animal had on his
back q pack which held food and seed
for planting.
Now, the rabbit was the fellow who
ought to have brought down the bag
OF beans for seed. But when he came
TO the edge of the world above and
looked down. he was afraid that Il. he
strapped pack on his back, he would
not BIO ablo to stick TO tho cord and

come safely down to the earth So,
when no one was looking, he took
of the pack and threw II in u pile of
brush.
And when the great beaver asked
the rabbit for tho seed beans TO plant,
the rabbit looked worry sad ana said
that the strap on his pack had come
loose and the pack had fallen before
he was half way down. They all began
TO look for it, but il was not to be
found,
And SO the animals planted their
corn and their tobacco, and their
greens ana their nut trees and their
had no beans! And then they began
to build their houses while they were
waiting for everything to grow.
The animals did not know it, but
they left behind the cicada. He had
gone TO sleep months before when the
winter was coming on; and it was not
until midsummer. long after the others
had gone down, that Lalu woke in Ga
lun-lati and found himself alone.
And when the cicada found that all
the others had gone, he went all around
the edge of I! world above to find
out whore they had gone. And he
came to tho pile of brush into which
the rabbit hard thrown the beans for
seed, and he found that the beans had
been spilled out OF the pack and were
growing.
SO. tho cicada, being very hungry.
cooked some OF the green beans and
sat down and began to eat them.
though he knew that everybody had
always waited for thcm to grow ripe
and hard. And they were good. AS
he ate. he heard noise down below
1t was the animals in council. and they
were talking about what they would
have to eat for the next winter.
The cicada heard some of the talk
and he leaned over and shouted:
"You must try some of these green
beans" And he threw down a handful
The animals tried them, and they were
goodl Then they told the cicada how
to get down
And now, whenever tho cicada be-
gins to sing, after waking from his
long sleep. the people know that the
green beans are ready to eat

Denver. March 3.-New York and
pther eastern cities are ice-bound, 2S
persons have lost their lives in the
gales and SHOWS that have covered
the eastern coast and the fate of 5000
persons on the storm-swept sea are
uncertain.
The damage to property, including
railroads, telegraphs, ships and private
lion dollars 1t will cost one tele-
graph company alone 100000 to re-
pair its system in New York and vi
cinity. Telegraph service all through
the East was almost entirely dis
rupted Monday.
Colorado enjoyed the benefits OF a
light snow which gave way to clear
sunshine
Trains are stalled in the East; tele-
graphic communication is interrupted
and many vessels are long overdue.
The heaviest snowfall since 1883, ac-
companied by gale exceeding "
miles an hour, has changed city
streets to country scenes. In New
York City hundreds climbed over huge
snowbanks in front of the customs
building to pay their income taxes
There was one lane for traffic. along
Broadway, between white hills thrown
up by an army OF workmen.
The light storm which came upon
Denver Monday was merely local, add
ing valued moisture to Colorado farm
lands. 1t extended into southern Wy
pming. Last night it was rapidly
moving toward Texas.
Several tragedies already are
known to have accompanied the
eastern gale. Near Hazelton, Pa.
James Bartnoldi left Miss Ella Swee-
ney, % years old, in sleigh, to seek
help for her. When rescuers found
her she was frozen to death.
1t Is believed the schooner Unity
has sunk off the coast Of Nova SEQ
tia. The tug which set out Saturday
in search of the Unity, yesterday was
forced to put in at Shelbourne with
out sight of the ship.
On board vessels overdue in New
York harbor there are 5000 persons,
according to estimates. The first
steamer to arrive was more than 26
hours late.
Schools were closed in northern
New York, New Jersey. Maryland
and Pennsylvania. The necessary
closing of factories threw thousands
Of men and women out of work. Dam
ages to the telegraphic fire alarm sys.
TENS placed New York. Newark and
other cities in grave danger OF con-
flagrations.
The number of known dead as the
result of the storm is twenty-eight-
ten in the New York district ana
eighteen in Pennsylvania. Because OF
the loss of tugs on the coast 1t 1s
certain that the number will be In
creased when full reports are re-
ceived.
