THUNDER BIRD LEGEND.

Glacier Park Station, Mont-The
weird legend of the Thunder Bird, ="
long regarded as gospel by the Black
feet Indians of Glacier park reser-
walton. and much smiled at by the
skeptical White man, now seems to
be given a concrete foundation by
the recent discovery of a specimen
of the Willow Ptarmigan at the top
most edge of the timber line on the
mountains of Glacier National park.
The bird was found frozen to
death and the Indians now are la
menting lest it was stricken by the
Great Spirit, as an i'll omen to the
entire Blackfeet tribe. The dead OBJ
ject of awe to the red man was
brought to Glacier park station by
Chief Three Bears, who made the
trip over the mountains, on snow
shoes, in order to intercept Louis w.
Hill, of st. Paul, and have him take
1t to a taxidermist. to be preserved.
MIR. Hill naturally thought it was
just another of the many legendary
superstitions of the tribe, which
holds him up in a r~everential light
since making him a member of their
tribe and giving him the name of
Gray Horse Rider" in recogni-
ton of his many benefactions to
them. However, he was true to his
promise and had his private car set
out at Kalispell, Mont, in order to
deliver the sacred bird to II. p.

however, rather took the railway
magnate's breath away when, upon
examining the dead bird, he ex-
claimed: Why, Mr.. Hill, you have
got a rare specimen here! 1t is the
Willow Ptarmigan. which is of great
scientific interest among ornitholog-
lists. Chapman's Color Key shows
the Willow Ptarmigan has been re-
ported only twice in the United
States. once from Maine and once

from Massachusetts" Mr.. Hill had
not paid close attention to the story
the old chief had related to him
through the interpreter, so now he
had to send a special representative
into the interior of Glacier park to
find Three Bears and get the old In
dams story geographically.
Meanwhile, the bird is being set
up as true to life as the taxider-
mist's skill can make it and it will
be placed in the crotch of the poles
of the ~100-year-old buffalo-skin
tepee, which has been pitched, on
exhibition, in the Forest lobby of
the big hotel at the eastern gate
way of Uncle Sans newest National
park-because the grandfather of
old Chief Three Bears, who headed
the Indian council which used to
pass the pipe of peace in this ancient
shelter-relic, was the chief figure in
the legend of the Thunder Bird"
Here is the translated story of the

Bears faithfully repeats to this day

that was sitting near the edge of the

he was looking at it, then he knew

the United States leads the world in
crime. Young girls do not dare to
come here alone. Agents of the dens
of iniquity in the cities are there to
prey on them and sell them into a
life of shame.
Foreign men coming to this cOun-
try are not free from the evil in
f~iuences which beset them as soon as
they land here. And in addition. the
chances are that they will be robbed
in a short time after they have land
ed here by some of the numerous
yultures that make it their business
to exc out an existence by robbing
immigrants who have money, and
traficking in the souls of girls. The

Mrs. Corbin declared that the first
things the men come in contact with
after they land here are saloons,
which, she said, had a very demon
alizing effect on them.
The efforts of the missionary So
ciety which Mrs. Corbin represented
to save immigrants from evil in
fuences after reaching this country
were related by Mrs. Corbin. She
said that the good that had been
accomplished was beyond express

Mrs. Corbin gave some figures
which she said would show in a way
the enormity Of the traffic in souls
of foreign girls who come to this

Saws District Would Be Breaking
Faith Not to Remunerate
for Camp Duty.

Declaring that it would be virtually
a breach of faith on the part of the
District of Columbia not to pay the
men Of the National Guard while they
are in camp. Col. W. E. Harvey, COM
manding the I'd Infantry. N. G. D. c.,
has written a letter to Senator John
Walter Smith of Maryland, chairman
of the Senate District committee, di-
recting his attention to the fact that
the militia pay item in the District ap-
preparation bill was stricken out in the
House of Representatives on a point of
order recently, notwithstanding the
fact that such an appropriation has
been made regularly every year since
1902. The item In question was to ap-
propriate the sum of $4,000 for pay
of the troops.
Col. Harvey's letter. in part, follows:
This appropriation has been regu-
larly made every year since 1902, al-
though not always for the same
amount. The amount has been the
same for number of years past, how
ever.
I'm 1912 this same provision was
stricken out on a point of order in the
House Of Representatives. The matter
was debated at considerable length.
The item was finally restored to the
