LEGEND OF OJIBWAYS
BY ELMER EDWARDS.

Long ago, before even Father Mar
quette visited the beautiful upper lake
region, there was an Indian village
where the little town Of Harbor
Springs, Mich, now stands
In the days when HALL was chief
OF the village, peace and prosperity
were enjoyed by the red men. To
their very door Little Traverse Bay
brought FISH in great abundance
Halli's only daughter, Winona was
famed throughout all that region for
her beauty and goodness. From child
hood her fayorte among the young
Ojibways had been Neoma. He was re-
nowned as the swiftest runner and
the most daring hunter of the tribe
All the people looked for Neoma to
wed Winona and. when the old chief
was dead, rule in his stead. 1t was
then that trouble came to the peace
full and happy village.
A little to the east, on the bank of
a beautiful stream, a willy Indian
named MotChimanitou came to make
his home The stranger was false
hearted, and in league with the spirits
OF evil Soon he laid a spell upon the
village Halli boldly called Motchi-
nanitou to council and when the
stranger departed the old chief
emerged from his wigwam, his head
bowed and his face somber
The next day Neoma went to the
chief and asked Winonas hand in mar
riage Once l am your son o Haili,
we win lead the warriors against the
evil one at the brook" the young brave
said
May, nay, Neoma! We would be
powerless against the mighty Motchi-
r2anitou, There is only one way. II
Winona becomes his wife he will no
longer be our enemy; instead of ours
ing he will bless us"
1t was in vain that Neoma cried
out against that plan, The old chief
was firm.
For three days there was much ex-
citement in the village On the morn
ing of the fourth Neoma and his birch
canoe were gone That was not all,
Winona had left her fathers wigwam
The lovers made their way in the
canoe to a small, uninhabited island
far out in Lake Michigan There the
young warrior built wigwam From
che lake they obtained fish, and Neoma
visited the mainland in his canoe,
eTinging back plenty Of game. The

TWO were very happy all through the
golden autumn when. according to the
legends of thier tribe, Shawondasee
the South Wind, ruled the land, and
From his pipe the smoke ascending
Filled the sky with haze and vapor,
Filled the air with dreamy softness,
Gave twinkle TO the water.

ness.

One day Neoma went to the main
land on a hunting expedition He was
gone until sunset, bringing back in his
canoe the carcass of a deer The wig.
wan was deserted.
Neoma recalled Motchimanitou. He
fastened to that braves home and
soon learned that Winona was indeed
prisoner there. She was confined in
a cave, and, because the entrance to
her prison was guarded by evil spirits.
all Neoma's efforts to rescue his bride
we're in vain. Always Winona was
singing the weird death song of their
tribe. Thus did Neoma know that
hope had died in the malden's breast.
On summer morning Neoma
climbed to the top of a tall pine that
stood near the caves mouth Directly
beneath him a pool, formed by the
damming OF the brook, sparkled and
cleaned in the rays Of sunlight that
stole down through the foliage, to
touch it's placid surface with caressing
fingers. Suddenly Neoma saw an un.
usual commotion below him. From the
cave came several warriors Of his ma
tive village They bore with them a
burden, and the young braves heart
broke when he saw that 1t was the
dead from of Winona. The maiden had
died OF grief and the cruel Motchi-
manitou had given permission for her
people to carry her body away for
burial
There WAS nothing for Neoma to
live for, He began TO sing the same
plaintive death song that had been ever
on the lips OF his beloved. Still sing
ing he threw himself down, to die In
the pool below. SO sad was ii all that
the waters OF the brook took up the
weird chant and still they sing it. In
days of storm and wind the song rose
80 high that the Indians gave to the
stream the name of Roaring Brook.
Today the stream threads its way
through the woods TO discharge it's
water In the bay Near the bay the
stream widens, and there among the
gnarled roots OF the venerable cedars
crossed by decaying tree trunks, is
the spot where Neoma went to his
death II the tourist fingers there he

session the key of imagination that un-
locks the gateway to the realm of
fancy.

GARNET SHREEVE WRITES TO
LOTTiE.
Dear Lottie:

Dear Lottie:
/ arrived from Fairfield about two
months ago but by being busy with
my school work since | have neglected
writing to you. I enjoyed myself all the
time was there.
Early one morning in August pack
ed my suit case. Both went to the de-
pot with me. The train made two
stops before it reached Fairfield. The
depot is smaller than the Ottumwa de-
pot and it is not as nice The first
thing ] noticed when I got off the train
was my uncle sitting in his car waiting
for me. He is a short, fat man with
jolly looks in his face. He is as jolly as
he looks. When he saw me he got out
of his car, came up to me long enough
to say hello and then he went to the
baggage car and got my suit case. He
put it in the car and then we got in
and went to the house which was about
three miles out in the country. My aunt
was in the door when we got there. She
is small but strong woman. She is as
jolly as my uncle is. They have several
acres Of land and a five room house
They had when 1 was there, lots OF
vegetables from the garden, which my
aunt had attended to while my uncle
worked. On Saturday afternoon I got
my clothes all put away and on Sun
day we went to one Of my aunts
friends to stay all day. We went to
town one day to see the sights. The
first thing / noticed was the large
beautiful public library. 1t is also a
museum First we went down to the
museum in the basement There were
many amusing and interesting things
there. The skeleton Of George Wash
ington's horse was standing near the
front and many famous paintings, old
clothes, different kinds Of fowls and
animals.
Many people were crowding in and
through the crowd we pushed our
way. While We were there we met a
large homely woman. She had a nose
that would have served very well as a
pointer and her fingers were so long
they could have been used for pOkers
Her glasses were about half way down
her nose and my aunt said the chill
dren of the neighborhood made fun OF
her and said her glasses were halt
mast. She was a lady of society and
very aristocratic She wore high
stiff collar. Her hair was black and il
was put up in very stylish way.
Well, / must close for if l would at
tempt to relate everything ! did il
| would soon grow into long story.

MY TRIP TO PfTTSBURG
(By LA Eakins.)

Lear fr1GNO Fdu1luC.
l thought l would write you about
my trip to Pittsburg, Kan, when
went to see my brother who lives
there.
My father mother and I went. We
went around by Charlton, Iowa, and
from there took the st. Joe branch to
Kansas City. From Kansas City we
took the Frisco train to Pittsburg. We
started from Ottumwa at 1880 o'clock
Thursday morning and got in Pitts
burg at o'clock Friday morning.
AS we we're going we saw miles and
miles of just fiat rock made into
fences. We went to Lincoln park
while there. The auditorium Is very
large and beautiful building.
In this park are girls play grounds
and boys play grounds. There is a
large pile of white sand for children
to play in. At the girls play grounds
there are shoot the chutes, large iron
swings and trapeze. There are also
teter toters and long rope ladder
which extends straight up in the air
It is like the fire escapes on some
buildings. When you come down the
chutes you land in pile of sand. On
a little ways is river with many
bridges crossing it. On the other side
of the river are many trees, they are
very thick. There is place with
about six swings for babies. The
park has many pretty flowers in it.
All around the outside is hedge very
nice and very green and pretty. There
is a small green house just a little
ways from the park with many pretty
flowers in it.
The library is very nice building
too. The library is not much larger
than ours and is built something like
it, On our return home we came to
Kansas City on the Frisco but from
Kansas City we took the Burlington
and went to Quincy III. There we
changed and came up to keokuk. We
followed the Mississippi river from
there to Burlington. At Keokuk we
saw the new dam thought it was after
night The dam was lighted up and
looked very pretty. From Burlingtos
