Bird Sacred to Indians

The ptarmigan, like the Indian, 10
susceptible to civilizing influence.
Since the Indians of the Glacier Ma.
tional park reservation took up agri-
culture, this mountainside bird has
come down into the valleys, even to
mingle with the barnyard chickens and
eat of the Indians wheat.
The ptarmigan turns pure white like
O snowshoe rabbit In the winter time,
and the Indian has a sacred regard
for the feathered creature in this i'm.

Cajun Justices Not
Ruled BY Blackstone

The old cajun Justices Of southwest
ern Louisiana were important person
ages. The trials, which were held at
the Justices homes, were made all-day
affairs, the neighbors driving in from
miles around. Evidence was taken in
terminably, although the verdict was
usually based upon the Justices point
OF view rather than upon any mere
point Of law.
For example, I know of a planter
who brought suit against one of his
tenants for the recovery of calf. His
ownership being proved, he was
awarded possession Of the animal.
Next he was ordered to pay the costs
Of the court.
"But," objected the planter, II have
won my case. The loser should pay"
