So antagonistic to all that modern
civilization means were the ancient
custom and lore of the American In
dams that like their believers they
have fast disappeared-have almost
passed out of the memory of modern
man. Some of the customs, however,
are so beautiful that at infrequent in
tervals they are revived and one such
resurrection of the lore of the dead
past bids fair to become a society fad
in the near future. 1t was an ancient
tribal custom among certain of the
Ameri an aborigines that all maidens
should wear single feather of the
eagle as part of their headdress. A
very impressive ceremony at the time
of a girls marriage was the break
ing and scattering to the four winds
of this symbol of girlhood. The pic

Nov that Christy Mathewson's best

is beginning to take golf more serious
ly. AS a golfer, it is doubtful il he
will ever attain the heights he
reached as a pitcher, but Matty is at
all times dangerous player. He hits
long. low ball off the tee, but his
direction is little uncertain. and he
still fubs his shot occasionally.
In his desire to get distance with
his wooden clubs, he pulls himself
up when at the top of the swing with
a motion that is entirely "out of or
der" but his good eye saves him
from the fate that usually follows this
fault Most players who do this either
hat the turf behind the ball or hit the
ball on the upstroke and spoil the
shot. With The cleek end the mid.

Construction Work on Pennsylvania

Beaver Falls, Pa.-The Pennsylvania
Railroad company has been making a
fill of the Beaver river between New
Brighton and Rochester with the in
tention of changing it's main line be-
tween the two points to eliminate a
long curve. The fill requires hun
dreds of carloads of cinders, which are
loaded into the cars while red hot.
When unloaded they retain their heat
for days.
This has made the place winter
resort for hobos At all hours the
entire embankment, mile or more
in length, swarms with heteroge-
neous crowd of old and young men,
who eat, drink, make merry and sleep.
On the hot cinders the tramps
make coffee and cook the fruits of for

scoop out a bed in the warm ashes,
and after carefully removing the
clinkers burrow down in the yielding
mass and sleep in comparative COM
fort on the coolest nights, with only

From this distance the champions
hole out with almost mechanical pre-
cision in two strokes, or three at the
most, whereas the average golfer is
well satisfied with a three and often
takes four strokes. Matty is no ex-
ception to this rule, and loses more
strokes either on or just off the green
than in any other part Of his game.
His putting is onl.- average, but this
can be improved by his taking more
care in surveying the contour of the
