INDIANS GAVE THANKS
Peculiar O~bservances Older Than
White Mans Thanksgiving Day.


Omaha, Nov. 24.-Although the
first TO set a certain date for the Civ
ing of thanks to their God for the
food and comforts of the year, the
Puritans cannot claim to be the first
in America to celebrate a day of
thanksgiving. The Indians, long be-
fore the landing of the Pilgrims, cell
ebrated the harvesting of the fall
crops and the preparations for win
ter with a feast and dance in the
honor of the great spirit, according
to r. l.. Sloan of Omaha, an Indian
attorney.
The corn dances were an annual
event with the Indians. When the
corn had been harvested and dried
for the winter and the other crops
harvested and stored a day and a
night were given to the great spirit.
A feast, dances and i~ncantations were
the features of the celebration. This
festival has now disappeared, or rath-
er has blended with another into the
white mans Thanksgiving.
Another day Of celebration was
earlier in the year, in the latter part
Of August or the early days in Sep
TENDER. 1t vas the day of prayer to
the greater spirit TO send large buff
falo herds and make the Indians sue
cessful in the fall hunt. This also
has been incorporated into the one
| day Thanksgiving. No certain date
was set by the Indians for either of
these festivals.
The celebration of the modern
Thanksgiving among the Indians OF
this section probably dates back to
Father Hamilton, who for fifty years
was a missionary among the Omahas.
Father Hamilton died about twenty
five years ago. He was so years old
when he died. He had spent his en-
tire life with the Indians, could talk
their language and was one of the
few white priests the Indians ever
trusted. 1t was due to his teaching
in a large measure, that the Indian!
adopted the white mans Thanksgiv
ing day.
The Indians name for the day Ii
somewhat suggestive of the impress
sion that fingers in the minds o
small boys. The Indians call i
The Day When the White Men Have
Good Things to Eat" or merely
THE Day of Good Eating"
The celebration of Thanksgiving
with most of them has a great dea
of the religious in il. The Peote'
are the most typical of this. The!
are a sort of religious sect and take
their name from their habit of eat
ing the button" of the cactus plant
The button is the part which is lief
after the flower has dropped Off. The
buttons are about an inch in dia
meter and a quarter of an inch thick
THE taste is somewhat bitter. Thu
kind of cactus which produces thu
buttons grows only near the Mexican
border and all the buttons must b.
shipped to the Indians in the north
The Indians prepare the buttons IL
three ways. They eat them raw
make tea of them and grind them up
moistening the powder into a past
and eating this. An individual viii
eat six or eight buttons and drinl
several glasses of the tea during tn
celebration, though a man has cate,
twenty buttons and drunk ten glasse
of tea without any i'll effects.

TOO IMPORTANT TO MAIL
Special Emissary Has Message for
Swedish Ambassador.

New York, Nov. 25.-Per Ostberg,
special messenger of the king OF Swe-
den, reached New York on the steam
ship Hellig Olav from Christiania
bearing a message from King Gus
tav to the Swedish embassy at Wash
ington, which he said was too i'm
portant to trust either to the mails
or the cables. He left at ono for
Washington.
The messenger disclaimed knowl-
edge of the contents of the packet he
carried. He said that 1t had been
sealed personally by the king and
was entrusted to him only a few hours
before the steamer sailed.

JAPAN DEMANDS EQUALITY
Wants Same Rights as Powers Com
prlslnq Triple Entente.

Washington, Nov. 23.-From a high
diplomatic authority 1t was learned
that Japan has made a proposal to the
triple entente that it be taken into
their agreement not to end the var
with Germany until all of the powers
now fighting the kaiser are ready to
make peace together.
Russia and France object 10 the
acceptance OF Japan into the councils
OF the triple entente. Great Britain
has attempted to persuade Japan II
Is not fitting. The Nippon kingdom
however, insists that 1t has the right
to be there.
Japanese diplomacy apparently has
again seized an opportunity to place
the Asiatic kingdom on a plane with
the first European powers.

Minister NanDyke Returns to Amer
lea from the Netherlands.

New York, Nov. 25.-Henry Van
Dyke, the American minister TO the
Netherlands, who reached here from
The Hague aboard the steamer Rot
terdam, refused to comment on a
suggestion published originally in
Amsterdam that the time is ripe for
the United States and the Neither
lands to act in concert to bring
about peace in Europe.
He also declined to deny or affirm
the report that he is the bearer of a
suggestion looking toward such ac-
ton, from the government of Hol-
land to the United States. He SEEM
ed thoroughly conversant, however,
with the suggestion and the report.
Apparently VanDyke expected to
be questioned by reporters on this
subject, for when they boarded the
ship at quarantine and sought him
out, he said he was ready with a
statement. 1t follows
AN ambassadors first duty is to
his chief and | am compelled to re-
spect my instructions not to talk.
For the past four months | have been
having a strenuous time. My eyes
have given way under the strain OF
day and night work and have OBJ
tanned a leave of absence to come
home and see my oculist. AS soon as
my Y g are patched up, | hope TO re-
turn to my post and continue work
ing for the cause of world peace in
| the spirit of our presidents declara-
tions."
After reading the statement, Van
Dyke repeated that he would follow
his instructions and refused to dis
| cuss the situation. After PAIRING
| the i%nteryiewers for a time, he said:
When the madness that began
this war has spent itself, hope that
| America will have a great part to
play in the restoration OF lasting
| peace. wherein all the people OF the
world shall rejoice. Then the night
| mare of blood will be over and the
| palace of peace will have its oppor-
| tunity.

Bolinas, Cal, Nov. 25.-Forty-three

AS the vessel had sixty-two persons

These figures do not include, how

to have come safe ashore, but the
other three were variously reported
as aboard the McCulloeh and among

with any certainty among either the
dead or the living.

The Hanalei broke into splinters
after pounding on the reef nearly

to enable those clinging to them to
