CLING TO OLD SUPERSTlTlONS
Hard to Make Civilized Indians Givd
Up Their Beliefs in Magic
Soul Transmigration.

Civilized Indians are very reluctanq
to give up their belief In magic. The
idea of worshiping objects is quite a
settled one among the tribes, and
some stories which connect corn and
flowers with beneficent deities are very
pleasing and attractive.
Animals, too, are spoken Of in al
very singular and superstitious man.
ner, and the different sizes of the
beasts which are hunted is accounted
for in a story of the creation, which
has many variations, but always
agrees that at the time of the creation
all of the beasts clamored for priority
in size.
Each was vain and dictatorial, and
one after another was humbled by be-
ing made smaller than hated enemy,
the idea being that everything human
and otherwise that was born had a
prior existence and came into the
world with the benefit of the expert
ence thus derived.
Indians in many tribes believe in the
doctrine of transmigration Of souls,
by which is meant that they believe
souls, after the death of the bodies
of animals that they have inhabited,
pass into the bodies of others.-De-
troit News.

count of the life of blackmail and
slavery now led by the members of
the old regime. the Orioles extinction
was far less painful to Herbert than
his father supposed; and the latter
wasted great deal of severity, in
sisting that the printing press should
be returned that very night to Uncle
Joseph. Herbert's heartiest RETROSPECT

press had been returned to Uncle 10

enough to carry it over. His mother
or l will go with him."
Herbert bore much more than this ,
he had seated himself on the third
step Of the stairway in the hall, and
maintained as much logged silence az
he could. Once, however, they got a
yelp of anguish out of him. 1t was
when Cousin Virginia said:
"Oh, Herbert. HERBERT How could
you make up that terrible falsehood
about Mr.. Crum? And, think of it !
right on the same page with your
cousin Florences pure little poem"
Herbert uttered some sounds, totally
incoherent but loud, and expressive Of
a supreme revulsion. The shocked
audience readily understood that he
liked neither Cousin virginia's Gliding
nor Cousin Florence's poem.
Shame y said his father.
Herbert controlled himself. II
could be seen that his spirit was not
broken, even when Aunt Fanny
mourned, shaking her head at him,
smiling ruefully:
"Oh, if boys could only be girls !"
Herbert just looked at her.
1.-THE worst thing" said his father
that is, If there's any part of 1t
that's worse than another-the worst
thing about it is this about Noble

"Why, walked up from downtown
with old man DILL" said Mr.. Atwater,
land the Dill family are all very much
worried. 1t seems that Noble started
downtown after lunch, as usual, and
pretty soon he came back to the house
and he had copy of this awful paper
that little Florence had given him"
"Who gave it to hlm?" Aunt Fanny
asked. "Who"
Little Florence"
"Why. that's curious" Cousin Virgil
mia murmured. 81 must telephone and

The broodng Herbert looked up,
and there was a CLEAN in his logged
eye; but he said nothing.

Florence looked at him trustfully
and said nothing. 1t seemed to her
that he suspected something; she was
not sure, but his conversation was
little peculiar-though not in the least
sinister. Indeed, she was able to make
out that he had more the air Of an ac
complete than Of a detective. Never
theless she was convinced that far, far
the best course for her to pursue, dur
ing the next few days, would be one
of steadfast reserve. And such a course
was congenial to her mood, which was
subdued, not to say apprehensive;
though she was sure that her recent
conduct, If viewed sympathetically,
would be found Christian. The trou-
BILE was that probably it would not
be viewed sympathetically. No one
would understand how carefully and
tactfully she had prepared the items
of the Oriole to lead suavely up to the

To FORTUNE
SHOWS Up AFTER
LAPSE Of Z YEARS
Irishman Learns of Claimants
in Almost Every Cline
and Country.

Montevideo. Uruguay.-(Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-After
a lapse of u years, an heir to the
5000, 600 fortune left by an Irish
peer has appeared in this city in the
person of Don Eugenio O'Neill, a Uru-
guayan subject, who is employed by
the Agricultural society of Uruguay.
Mr.. O'Neil, who is IS years of age
was first made aware of the facts of
the ease by a London friend, who read
in a newspaper a list of the great for
tunes held in the Bank of England in
trust for their legitimate heirs. Once
in possession of the antecedents of the
case, the lucky heir-presumptive took
steps to set the law in motion to as
sert his claim to this vast fortune. He
has been deluged with letters of con-
graduation from all his friends. and
nan others who claim to be, and the
only fly in the ointment is the discOv-
cry of the existence of other O'Neills
in Chile, Portugal, the United States
and Argentina, to say nothing of a
| possible claimant from Queensland
Australia.
In spite of this, however. Dor
| Eugenio is convinced that he alone is
the rightful heir to this respectable
fortune, and the progress of his claim
is being watched with much interest
in this city.
