INDIANS USE OF FEATHERS
Have an intense Religious Significance
for All Tribes, Being Considered
Tantamount tn Prayer.

Feathers have an intense religious
significance for Indians, and are val
ued for this far more than for their
value as ornaments. To a HOpi a
feather. Is tantamount to a prayer,
and the use of one or two feathers in
his prayers is considered sufficient to
ensure o favorable reply.
When an Indian desires something
urgently he will tie a feather to a
stick and conceal 1t in a shrine which
he himself has constructed. This is
considered extremely efficacious.
Small, fluffy feathers dangling FIRM
the ceilings of huts by strings are
common sights. They represent pray
ers for trifies. Indians are always
careful to keep a stock of prayers or
feathers on hand, so that they will
not be caught empty handed when an
occasion or. prayer arises.
It was departure from this GUS
tom which accounts or the use of
feathers in costumes. SQuaws of tribes
whose habitat was Virginia wore man
ties fringed with feathers, and the
Colonial records also tell of coats made
of blue feathers sewed so close and
thick that the coat looked like satin.

UNDERTAKEN HAD LAST SAY
Revised Version Of Old Story Leaves
Welshman the Winner Over Ad-
mittedIy canny Scotsman.

Admittedly, this may be an old
story, but 1t has the distinction of
possessing a new twist at the end:
A person died. He willed all his
earthly possessions to be divided
among an Englishman, an Irishman
and a Scotsman. But the will was
conditional; each Of the legatees was
to place five pounds In the testator's
coffin. On the day appointed (by Fate)
the Englishman placed a five-pound
note as willed: the Irishman collected
u number Of coins -shillings,
sixpences and coppers-and made up
his contribution of five pounds, which
he placed on the Englishmans flyer.
The Scotsman then made out a check
for Is pounds and, pocketing the 10
pounds already deposited, threw in his
check, with the remark, That's east
err"
A month later, when the Scotsman
perused his pass book he was surprised
to find that his check had been cashed.
The undertaken was a Welchman.-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE legends say children were first
i To be abroad that Easter day
When morning out of darkness burst,
And angels rolled the stone away.
For children's hearts are quick to feel
The deadenmS pail Of mortal PAIN
And children'S hearts are first to heal ~
When light and comfort come again.
And they had loved the Lord Christs faces
And ON HiS knees had laughed and cried
And heard Him say the heavenly place
IL where all child-like souls abidej s.
And they had often heard Him tell
Strong men by pride and greed dehled
That they could never please Him well
Till they were humble a child.
And they had heard the tale that grievss
All little hearts: how One so dear
Was nailed upon q cross with thieves,
And tortured with poisoned spearD
And how the temples wondrous veil .
Was riven by the lightning stroke,
While, mingled with the women's wall
The earthquake and the thunder brokeS f
And how black night came down at noon, u
And ghosts from graves that opened wide
SLullked out beneath blood-red moon,
When He that loved the children died.
For two long days no girl or boy -.
In Galilee or Jordan plain
Could laugh or sing, for hope and JOY
In every little heart was slain.
But when the earth that third day morn
. :
As never since the world was born
Had come to dazzle human sight,
Then every child, the legends say, !.
Knew that the time at an end. =.
Knew that the stone was rolled away
And few to meet the risen Friend.
And long before the Magdalene
Had reached the empty sepulchre,
Or Peter heard what she had seen,
Or feet John fastened after her,
The children had gone forth and found
The Master n the Garden walk.
And scattered lilies on the ground,
And seen His smile, and heard Him talk.
No child puny, halt, or lame,
Or hungry, or in tatters clad,
But clothed as if in light they came
And all were whole, and strong, and glad.
They throng along the Kedron rill,
They thread the city through the gates,
Straight up to Joseph's garden hill,
Where He that loves the children waits.
They dance, they sing, they climb the trees,
They circle round in ring and file;
They know they cannot fail to please,
And win the guerdOn of His smile.
He lifts His hand: 81 bore the pain
Of death for men by sin defled;
rise henceforth to live and reign
Lord of the Kingdom of the Child"
They vanish, and He stands alone;
And when the women come to weep,
The gasden flames with flowers new-blown-
The children are at home asleep.
''What makes that garden spot so bright?"
The learned rabbis stroked their chinsS
They knew not yet that love is light,
That knowledge fails where love begins.
But somehow still on Easter morn
The world is beautiful again,
And IN each child-lilxe heart is born
Some yearning of good will to men
Some haunting sense, some happy dream
OF singing birds, of daffodiIs,
OF olive branches, or the CLEAN
Of dew-Shine ON the Syrian hills.
