them and directed them to send seven
OF their patriarchs to the Chief noun

residing.
They followed these directions anc
seven OF their oldest men retired to
Chief mountain, and there surely was
the wind god. He stood at the sum-
NIT of the mountain and the wings
extending from his shoulders spread
wide over the valleys. He faced
north, east, south and west and his
wings quivered as he stood. The old
men worshiped him from afar but
were afraid to come near him to
make their prayers, and after their
long journey they went back empty
handed to their people.
Then the medicine men directed
them to send IA of their strongest and
bravest young warriors to intercede
with the wind god. These young men
also when they reached the mountain
and saw the wind god were afraid,
but they drew nearer and nearer to
him and finally they dared to touch
the skins he was wearing. They made
their prayer to him and he listened
and his wings quivered and quivered
and gradually clouds began to gather
over the plains and the rain fell as
If in a deluge. He stretched one
wing wide over the plain telling them
to go back there and they would find
the buffalo.
"The warriors then descended to
the valley and brought the good news
to their people, and they found that
already the buffalo had come back
and the famine was broken. And

among the most interesting given by
the Indians. Though some of these
redmen may ordinarily dress in the
store clothes of the white man they
are all interested enough in their
tribal dances to assume their ances-
trail garb when the dance and song
festivals occur. They look upon
many of these ceremonies as having
religious character expressive of
their beliefs. The sun dance as given
by them always has its beginning in a
woman's prayer for the recovery Of
the sick and the whole tribe come to-
gether to fulfil VOWS, to fast and to
pray, as well as to seek what diver.
sion dancing affords.
The chief dancer of these Indians is
Chief Fish Wolf Robe. He has many
handsome costumes. Some of them
are of buckskin with necklace of
many strands of beads and leggins
and moccasins ornamented with porcu-
pine quilts, Another chief may wear

The Blackfeet Indians have from
time immemorial known OF a wonder
full trail which runs north and south
along the Rocky mountains. Accord
ing to authorities who have gained
the confidence of the chiefs, no one
knows how old this trail is. 1t is
called the "Old North Trail and is
worn deep by the feet of travellers.
Though 1t is not used much now
since railroads have come, the deep
ruts still show amid weeds and
MOSES. This trail runs at uniform
distance from the Rockies, passes
near where the city of Helena now
stands and extends south as far as
Mexico.
The road has been frequented by
Canadian Indians as well as Ameri
can redmen and 1t forks where Cal
gary stands In Canada. This Old
North trail has many traditions con-
nected with it and stories are told OF
expeditions of Canadian Indians who
went south to the dark skinned peo-
pie (Mexicans). 1t took IL moons
of steady travelling.
There are many legends in Glacier
National Park connected with the
early life of the Blackfeet tribe. One
of these is associated with the beau
tiful Two Medicine lakes. Here is
the story as told by Blackfeet chief:
Many years ago there was ia
mine in the land of the Blackfeet,
which is set down by my father from
1885 to 1887. At that time the Black
feet Indians owned everything from
Hudson bay to the Rocky mountains
and in all that land there was no
green spot except in the valley that
is called Two Medicine. Even the
buffalo left the country because there
was no food for them and the In,
dams that sought refuge in the noun,
tains found no game or anything to
eat except berries.
Then the old men of the tribe with,
drew to the valley that is now called
Two Medicine and built there two
medicine lodges, so great was Their
need. They worshiped the Great
Spirit and prayed to be told what
they should do to be saved from the

branches. This is for the ceremonies
Of the medicine lodge. There Is
motley crowd of Indians on
foot and on horseback Mingling
with them are white men and women
from the adjoining country. All are
massed around a circular rope fence,
inside of which the Blackfeet Indians
are holding their annual festival with
stories and sacred dances.
IL you were in Montana last June
this is what you would have witnessed
when 1000 Piegan Indians from Can
ada and this country held at Brown
ing, the Indian reservation just out
side OF the Glacier National Park
their remarkably festival The vari-
colored tepees held members of many
tribes OF Indians. The dances which
were witnessed are old, old so an
cient that the Indian cannot tell when
they started The beaded jackets,
strange feathered headdress, medicine
bags and deerskin suits which Indian
chiefs wear cannot be purchased for
money and the strange chants are
handed down from father to son.
II you press closer to the rope
fence and mingle more freely with
The pnlookers you will see among the
crowd white men in khaki suits high
boots, sombreros, and white women
watching the dances, which last for
four or FIVE days and which afford
the Indian an opportunity to renew
acquaintances and go through religi-
Gus ceremonies.

MAKING OF A MAN
BY z. A. CLAY.

Young Fred Bamford had a ricf
mother.
She became widow when he wa:
ten years old.
AS an only child, he was made a pei
Of, the same as poodle dog.
Freddie was given his way about
everything, INDUCED in every within
and was taught to believe that money
made up for every deficiency in hui
man nature.
He had tutors and slapped their
faces and they left.
He was sent to boys schools and
ran away and came back to his tear
full mother
Y He was coaxed and bribed to go Ia
college. Aftes six weeks he found the
lessons too hard and by advice Of a
fashionable doctors, who charged 5000
for the advice. his poor brain was re-
lieved of overwork.
At eighteen Freddie was member
OF four clubs. He could play whist,
and bridge, and golf, and polo, and
OehNA 6aAhCDs AlC NOulh bWCals AAO
could smoke 40 cigarettes a day, each
one with his monogram on. AS to his
education, Captain Briggs, who was a
member of one of the clubs, had a
slight curiosity, and he turned to
him one day and asked:
Freddie, which is 1t that revolves
around the earth-the sun or the
moon?
What's the catch, captain?" was
asked in reply
There is no catch"
We'll, | never heard the question
asked before, and must answer that
l am not posted"
The captain did not have a con-
tempt for him. He realized that any
deficiency was not the young mans
fault. Later on, Fred himself asked
his mother the question, and her reply
was:
What do you want such a silly
thing to worry you for? You have
money and position, and you needn't
care what revolves around the earth.
| don't thank Captain Briggs for his
officiousness."
At twenty-one Freddie Bamford was
fast He had four or five autos. He
had bachelor quarters. He gave wine
suppers. He sent orchids to chorus
girls. He bet on the races. He was
a patron of gambling houses. He was
arrested for fast driving. He lost ten
thousand dollars at Monte Carlo. A
dozen different mammas said he
would make a good husband. Their
daughters had no criticisms to make.
Captain Briggs had never again asked
him a question in astronomy. Then
came a question from his mother:
Freddie, dear" she said, ARE you
thinking OF marriage?"

But you should be. In a year or

About the place also are ducks, chickens, geese and other evil dences of thrifty farming. "It is a fine place for taking a rest.
