among the most interesting given by the Indians. Though some of these red men may ordinarily dress in the store clothes of the white man they are all interested enough in their tribal dances to assume their ancestral garb when the dance and song festivals occur. They look upon many of these ceremonies as having religious character erpressive of their beliefs. The sun dance as given b them always has its beginning in a woman's prayer for the recovery of the sick and the whole tribe come together to fulfil vows, to fast and to pray, as well as to seek what diversion dancing affords The chief dancer of these Indians Is Chief f-'isli Wolf Robe. Ho has man handsome costumes. Some of them are of buckskin with necklace of many strands of beads and leggins and moccasins ornamented w ith porcupine cuills. Another chief may wear a war bonnet of feathers tipped with stained horsehair. Otter and mink skins are woven In and out and the animals tails hang down behind. Hraeelets and leguins of tanned deer skin ornamented with porcupine quills art common. The Hlackfeet Indians have from time immemorial known of a wonderful trail which runs north and south along the Rocky mountains. Accord ing to authorities who have gained the confidence of the chiefs, no one knows how old this trail is. It is callefl the "Old North Trail" and is worn deep by the feet of travelers. Thouuh it is not used much now since railroads have come, the deep ruts still show amid weeds and mosses This trail runs at a uniform distance from the Rockies, passes near where the city of Helena now stands and extends south as far as Mexico. The road has been frequented by Canadian Indians as well as Ameri can redmen and if forks where Oal gary stands in Canada. This Old North trail has many traditions connected with It and stories are told of expeditions of Canadian lndian who went south to the dark skinned peo pie ( Mexicans). It took 13 moons of itnartj traveling There are man legendi in Glacier National Park connected with the early life of the Hlackfeet tribe One of these Is associat d with the beautiful Two Medicine lakes. Here Is the story as told by a Hlackfeet chief: Many years ago there was a fa mine in the land of the Hlackfeet. which is Sei down by my fat Ihm from to ItSI At that time the l'.lack feet Indians owned evervthing from Hudson bay to the Rocky mountains, and In all that land there was no green spot except in the valley that is called Two Medicine Kren the buffalo left the country because there w.i. no food for thru and the India?is that sought refu re in the mountains found no pfae or anything to eat except berries "Then the old men of the tribe with drew to the valle; that is Two Medicine and built medicine lodge: . so great neesl 1 hey worshiped Spirit and prayed to be now called there two was their the Creat told what th .-hould do to be saved from the which is more than 2.000 miles an hour, makes a great disturbance in t ho atmosphere and creates air waves which, of course, are invisible to the naked eye.

famine. And the fJreat Spirit heard them and directed them to send seven of their patriarchs to the Chief mountain, where the wind god was then r siding. "They followed these directions anc seven of their oldest men retired to Chief mountain, and there surely was the wind god. He stood at the summit of the mountain and the wings extending from his shoulders spread wide over the valleys. He faced north, east, south and west and his wings quivered as he stood. The eld men worshiped him from afar but were afraid lo come near him to make their pra. ers. and after their long journey they went back empty banded to their people. "Then the medicine men directed them to send 1 1 of their strongest and bravest young warriors to intercede with the wind god. These young men also when they reached the mountain and saw the wind god were ufraid, but they drew nearer and nearer to him and Mnally they dared to touch the skins he was wearing. They mad their prayer to him and he listened and his wings quivered and quivered and gradually clouds began to gather over the plains and the rain fell as if in a deluge Me stretched one wing wide over the plain telling them to go back there and they would find the buffalo. 'The warriors then descended to the valley and brought the good news to their people, and they found that already the buffalo had come back and the famine was broken. And ever afterward the valley was called the Valley of the Two Medicine la memory of t.ie medicine lodges that were there erected to the (ireat Spirit in the time of famine." Witty Retort. Curran was on terms of intense enmity with Lord Clare, the Irish lord chancellor, with whom when a member of the bar he fought a due l, and whose hostility to him on the bench he alw.:s said caused him losses In his professional income which he could not estimate at less than 30.000. The incidents attendant on this disagreement were at times ludicrous in the extreme One day. when it was known that Curran was to make an elaborate statement in chancery, Lord Clare brought a large Newfoundland dog upon the bench with him, and durin the progress of the argument he lent his ear much more to the dog than to the barrister This was Ohsen ed at length by the entire profession. In time the lord chancellor lost all regard for decency. He turned himself quite aside in the most mate rial part of the case, and began in full court to fondle the animal Curran stopped at once. "QO on. go on. Mr ( 'urran," said Lord Clare "Oh. 1 beg a thousand pardons, my lord, 1 really took It for granted that our lordship was employed in consultation." Ra Meat Juice Cure.

Recalling the Bbody War of the Broken Egg W ASHINGTON. The subject of eggs came up at luncheon time in the senate restaurant. The proyeettlon of efficient economy was under discussion when 8c .;'rr Carrcll S Pae made the startling statement that in ine

that would ;iert the smashing of 1" per cent, of the eggs laid by the American hen. The farmer's boy of years ago can recall the time when eggs sold at from five to ten cents a dozen, and even under those conditions the smashing of an egg was a real calamity. The omnipresent egg on the breakfast table recalls the story told by tne late Senator Allison of a broken egg that led to an Indian war in Minnesota In 1 v ' - severai Sioux Indians appeared in a farmer s dooryard ami saw a nest of eggs with a hen sitting on it, as an industrious hen is wont to do. An Indian pickedip one of the eggs, and his companions warned him not to break it as it belonged to a white man. Having a general contempt for all pale-faces, the brave could not resist smaahUlf the egg. He proceeded to break the others in the nest, while another Sioux shot the hen, scared Irom he r nest. A thid Sioux, to show his heroism, sent a bullet through the farmer's cow, which brought the farmer to the door, rifle in hand; and a fourth Indian, to show his supreme bravery and his contempt for the white man, shot the farmer dead. This bloody outrage was completed by massacring the farmer's wife and children. Thus from a bit of mischief started by a broken gg, there followed a revolt at the Indian reservation.

Chance Must Have Been a Little Too Caustic RBPRB8BNTATIVK ADAM80N wrote to M. O. Chance, chief clerk of the postofllce department, a little while ago in behalf of a clerk. A. K. Moody, a colored man from Georgia. He said to Mr. Chance that the clerk was a

pretty pood fellow, so "if he h:is done wrong don't discharge him. but CtteS him out a bit." Wellt In a few- days along came a letter from Chance to Represent ati ve Adamson, saying that the CUaatng-OQt process mast have bee n a little to caustic, for the clerk had realgned leaving a letter informing Mr. Chance that a minister of the gospel had flown from their midst. This is the letter: ' Hon. Mr. Chance, Chief Clerk of the

Postofllce Department. Dear Sir: I do hereby end in my resignation to you. I truiy hope that you will received it. Please your honor sir: 1 am a gospel minister. 1 have been called a long time ago to preach the gospel by the (lod of heaven and earth I cannot do It succ essful and hold my job In the government services, and I will pray for the blessing of Cod to rest on the Postmaster Ceneral and his cabinet in the Post Oftice Department. Hut I may miss the envelope that is handed to me twice a mouth from the disbursing clerk, Mr Mooney. but. I rather missed that than to miss eternal life. Woe be into me f 1 preach not the gospel, lor it is the power of Cod unto salvation into every man that believe I know that my white friends of N'ewnan.

Uter which Representative Adamson wrote "Brother Chance: I hae your favor of the 1th instant, Inclosing copy of a letter from Rev. Blank I ras not aware of the fact that he was a minister, nor do I know whether IM has verified his eall to the ministry or not. If he has correct achice in his credentials from on high you people in the pogtoflloi department are in a bad fix."
