that Professor Freud IL one of the

hardly be. fair to interpret the garden

In the analysis OF another dream in

No normal person need fear to

ZUNl INDIANS FLEET-FOOTED
Remarkable Racing Tournament In
Which Runners Usually Defeat
Mounted Competitors.

The Zuni Indians of Northwestern
New Mexico occasionally hold rae
ing tournament In which a number of
the fleetest runners of the tribe con-
test for prizes to he given those who
first complete on foot a circuit fully
20 miles In length, after a week of
severe preparatory practice. The con-
testants are compelled to kick small
stick the entire distance of the race.
Sometimes they bare the right foot
and grasp the stick between their toes
so that in taking a step they can fling
1t surprising distance In front of
them as they run.
stick Is never to be touched by any
part of the body other than the foot.
The contestants may get into severe
difficulties when the nomadic piece of
wood happens TO fall into the midst
Of one of the large thorny clumps of
cacti which abounds In that country,
or II the river has to be crossed in the
race. So extraordinary are the en-
durance and speed of these runners
that they often cover the entire %
miles In little more than two hours.
Sometimes Indians mounted on
swift ponies enter the race against the
foot runners. At the end of ten miles
the horses begin to show signs OF fa-
tigue. and when Is or 20 miles have
been Travelled they have often to be
withdrawn from the race. The foot
runners are almost always able to win
the race over their mounted competi-
tors, and seem to suffer no serious
effects from the great muscular strain
to which they have been subjected.

THE ROADS OF HAPPINESS.
By EDGAR A. GUEST

The Roads OF Happiness are not
The selfish roads of pleasure seek
Ing.
Where cheeks are flushed with haste
Lnd hot
And none has time for kindly speak
ing.
But they're the roads where lovers
stray.
Where wives and husbands walk to-
gether
And children romp along the way
Whenever II is pleasant weather.
The Roads Of Happiness are trod
BY simple folks and tender-hearted.
BY gentle folks that worship God
And want to live their days un-
parted.
There kindly people stop and talk,
Regardless of the chase for money.
There. arm in arm, the grownups
walk
And every eye you see Is sunny.
The Roads OF Happiness are lined.
Not with the friends or royal splen-
dor,
But with the loyal friends and kind
That do the gentle deeds and ten
der,
There fame has never brought unrest
Nor glory set mems hearts to aching,
There unabandoned Is llfe's best
For selfish love and money making.
The Roads of Happiness are those
That do not lead to pomp and glory,
But wind among the Joys and woes
That make the humble toiler's
story.
The roads that Oft we used to tread
In early days when first we mated.
When hearts were light and cheeks
were red.
| And days were not with burdens
freighted.
