She §ikt (Eoirntg Ijmomt «• *«C. ■TOOP8. «4>tor umA FroprUto* PETERSBURG. t INDIANA. Nottvmp stranger than Indian folk tales rhave ever been told, and thvy have an .unusual charm for the average American •reader. In George Bird Grinnell’s new .book. "The Indians of To-Day.” pubdished by Herbert S. Stone Co.. Chicago, •there Is given an unusually large number of exceptionally interesting ones, many of which were told to the author by the Indians themselves. One of these is the story of “The Young Dogs Dance,” as related to the author by Pipe -Chief, of the Pawnees, and is reprinted • below by permission o. the publishers of athe book. - TJfllS was Pipe Chief's story, told as we sat by the tire and smoked •through the long w inter evening: Many, many, years ago, when I ■was a boy, there lived in the Tillage of Pawnee Loups a maii named Medicine Chief. He was lame. When Medicine Chief was young, he bad gone to visit the Rees and had lived with them for a long time. While .he was living in their village, the Rees told him the story of the ‘Young Dog’s Society and Dance.' and how they had first learned about it, and had come*to practice it. 5 _ In those days when a Eee wanted -eagle feathers to tie on his shield or fiance, or for a war bonnet, or to tie in his hair, he used to go out and catch the eagles, and this was the way he did it: On the top of the hill where the eagles used to come, he dug a pit in the ground and then covered it over with a roof of poles and scattered grass on the poles so as to hide them. He put a piece of meat on the poles, tieing it ■down so that the eagles could not carry it away, and then, stripping off his clothes, went into the pit audwaited there without food or drink until the eagle came down to the bait. When the eagle had alighted and was standing by the bait, the man reached up between the poles, caught the bird by the feet and drew it into the pit and killed it. Sometimes the eagle would not for a long time, and the man -would begin to think that he was not going to catch any, and would be very --unhappy.

A long- time before Medicine Chief liad gone to the Ree village, a certain Ree brave had gone out to catch eagles. <■ ‘X)ue night, while he was King in the pit, praying for good luck, he heard the sound of drums beating a long way off, but he could not tell from what direction the noise came. He kept listening and all night he heard the sound of the drumming. The next night as he lay there he heard the drumming begin again, and he got out of the pit. and walked over the prairie trying to follow the sound and learn where it tcame from. lie followed the sound till at last, when.it was nearly morning, he . -came to the edge of a great'deep lake. All day he stayed by this water, and kept crying over his bad luck and praying for help. When night came, the ‘drumming began again, and. after a time* he saw many birds and animals in the water, and coming to the shore and walking out on t he land. He could see ducks and geese, and dogs and beavers and otters. These and many "Other animals came out of the water. For four days he stayed by this lake, -crying to At ins Tirawa (Spirit Father) and.praying to him for help, and at last on the fourth night he fell asleep, for he was very tired and very hungry, because he had had nothing « to eat for long time.

While he slept something must have happened, for when he awoke he was In a large lodge in which there were many people. Some of them were dan--cing and some were sitting about the : walls on their robes. Some of the robes were made of bear and buffalo -and beaver and wolf skins, others were of the skins of birds. Now, these people who were in this lodge were the animals that he had seen swim- | ming in the water. They had changed their shapes and had become persons. Not long after this ltee man awoke •one of these people who saf at the hank of the lodge—a chief—stood up and spoke to him and said: “My friend, we know how unhappy you feel and how long you have been praying. We have listened to your prayers, and we have talked about you, and have made up our minds that we will take you in here and you shall be like one of us, for we feel sorry for you. You -see all these people here in this'lodge. They stand for the different animals. 'You see me; I am chief of these animals, and I am a deg. The Spirit Farther who lives away up iirthe sky likes dogs. He has one Himself. I like your /heart, and that is why I have taken pity on you and want to help you. You -shall be like me. Wherever you may be. my spirit will be with you. and will help you and protect you. Y’ou see this -dance which these people are dancing’? This dance I give to you. Watch It carefully and observe just what is done. I give you this dance. Take 'it home to your people and let them learn it and dance it. It, will make **tnem lucky in war.” When this man, the Dog, had finished speaking to the young man, he turned to the others in the lodge and ^said to them: t “Brothers, look at this young man; jrou see him and you know how unhappy he is. Take pity on him and .give him your power, for I have pitied him and have given him the power ^that I have. Try to do what you can 3for him.” Then he sat down.. For a little while no one said ar.y

thing. All sat there looking ut the ground, or at the fire that blazed in the middle of the lodge. At last the Owl stood on his feet and spoke to the chief, saying: “I also will do something for this young man.*’ He turned to the young man and said’ to him: ‘•\Vhea I go about at night. I do not care how dark it may be, I can see as well as If It were day. You shall bp like me in this, for in the night you shall see as I do. Wherever you may go at night I will be with you. Take these feathers and wear them tied to your hair.” As he said this he gave him some feathers from his back to wear on his head. Then the Owl sat down. .The Buffalo Bull sat next to the Owl. and after s little silence he stood up and spoke. He said: “You shall be like me, too. Wherever you travel about my Bpirit shall be with you. You shall be strong and you shall not get tired. You sh%U be brave, top. If you see your enemy right before you yon shall not be afraid, but shall rush upon him and shall knock him down and run over him as I do.” Then the Bull gave the young man a shoulder belt <of tanned buffalo hide, saying: “Wear this when you go into battle.** Then he sat down. . After a little while the Porcupine stood up and spoke to the young man. He siHl: “I will also do something for you. I have th,e power to make my enemy’s heart like a woman’s, and in this you shall be like me. Your enemies will fear you. and when you fight with them you shall overcome them and kill them.” He gave the young man some quills from his back to embroider the leather shoulder belt with, and then he sat down. When these people were speaking everyone else sat quiet, saying nothing, but listening to the speeches, while the pipe passed from hand to hand and the fire flickered and the posts cast black shadows and the smoke rising toward the smoke hole spread out and made a thin blue haze in the top of the lodge. At length the Eagle rose to his feet and stood looking about him. while everybody waited to hear what he would say. When he began to speak he said:

“Everybody knows me, and knows that I am lucky in war. When I go out to tight I kill my enemies, and all the others run away. Now 1, too. will be with you wherever you go, and you shall kill your enemies as I do mine. Take courage, therefore, for you shall be like an eagle.” He gave the young man some eagle tail feathers to tie on his head, and to tie on the shoulder belt that the Buffalo Bull had given him. Next to the Eagle sat the Whooping Crane, and when he got on his feet tb speak he stood up very tall, and his head reached up nearly to the blue sjmoke that hung under the roof. His voice was loud and clear when he said: “1 know how to scare my enemies, and in this you shall be like me. I will be with you wherever you go. When you attack your enemy, whistle on this, and he will be afraid and will want to run away.” The Whooping Crane took one. of the bones out of his wing and gave it to the young man. and showed him how to make a \yar whistle out of it and how to blow it when he went into battle. Then the Deer stood up and spoke to the young man and -said: “I shall help you. too. and I shall be with you wherever you go. I can run so fast that no cue can catch me. and you shall be able to run as fast as I do. Take this rattle, and when you come close to your enemy, strike him with it and count a coup^> So the Deer gave him the rattle, a string of little fawn hoof sheaths, strung together on a cord of twisted sinew.

.Next spoke the Bear, big and with a gruff voice: “Everybody knows nae and that I am hard to kill. If I am wounded I know how to cure myself. Even if I am very badly hurt 1 can make lmself well again. You shall be like me. When the bullets cr the arrows of the enemy hit you. you can save yourself. You shall be able to endure even great hardships.” The Bear then gave him a strip of fur frcm the roach of his back for a belt to wear about his waist. After the Bear, many other animals spoke to the young man, and each one that spoke gave him his power or helped him in some way. And after they had all taken pity on him, and told him al* ♦hese things* he fell asleep again. When he awoke and looked about him. he saw that he was at the same place where he had lain down by the big lake in which he had seen the animals swimming. For a long time he sat there, thinking of what he had heard and seen, and then he got up and went home to the camp. When he reached home, he called the young men together and told them what , he had seen and heard.; and showed them the dance as the animals had shown it to him and the different things that they bad given to him; and he told them that this dance would make them lucky in war. While he was showing theim the dance, the young man did many wonderful things before the people. So the young men formed a society which they called Young Dogs, and many were taught the dance. Any young, man who wanted to join this society was taken into it and shown the dance, and the ornaments were put on him, as the animals had put them on the young Ree when he had been in the animalsV lodge. It was a long time after ail these things happened that Medicine Chief was visiting the.Rees, and he stopped for a long time in their village. While he was there he saw this dance, and he liked it, for it was a war dance. He was taken into the society, and the Rees gave him the secrets of the dance. V * *

So, when he got back to his own tribe, he told his people, the Pawnee Loups, about the dance and advised them to take it up and learn it. All this hap* pened before I was born. When, I was a big boy, growing up, almost a young man, old1 enough to go to war. Medicine Chief was the leader of the Young Dogs society. was a very old man. When 1 considered this society, I saw that those who belonged to it were the men 1 wished to be like; they were great warriors, men who had but one heart, those whostood foremost of all men by their victories ;over their enemies. They took many horses and were rich. Now a man who wanted to learn the seiprets of this society and how to practice this dance had to go^hrough a hard trial. He had to dance for a long time without food or drink, until he was very tired,' and hungry, and thirsty, and he had to have his flesh pierced and oords tied to his skin, and he had to pull himself free from the cords by tearing them out of his skin. He had to endure the sufferings that a warrior bears. I had a friend named Big Spotted Horse who belonged to the Young Dogs society. At the time he was dancing and fasting so as to learn the secret of the dance, the Sioux came down to tight us. and we all went out to meet them. At this time he was wearing the ornaments which belonged to the dance. In the fight Spotted Horse, who was in the front of the battle, was wounded in the arm. but even though he was wounded he rode right over his enemy and struck him. Soon after this he got the secrets of this dance, and after that became a great warrior, and every time he went on the warpath against his enemies he would bring back many horses and scalps. At last he became a chief. I used to talk with my friend Spotted Horse about the fiance, for I had seen with my own eyes the great things that he had done and hpw fortunate he had been in war ever since joining it. and I had thought a great dealabout joining it myself. He told me that all his luck came from this dance, .and that he believed that the dog which lived up above with Tirawa was taking pity on him and helping him. and he advised me to join the society. At length I made up my mind that I would do this, and I went to the old man. Medicine Chief, and said: “Grandfather. I am Tery poor in my mind’ and want to be

taken into this socim'. I am willing to do whatever musflfte done, for I do not care what becomX of me. for I am very unhappy and have always been unlucky.” On the day when I was taken in we began to dance, I and 14 others. We were obliged to dance for four days and four nights without eating or drinking, and Medicine Chief told us to fix our eyes on the Sun as we danced, and at night to look at the Moon. On this day, while we were dancing, there were in the lodge with us people belonging to the society: some were making shoulder belts, others tying up owl feathers to Avear in the head, others making ready eagle feathers, and four women were putting porcupine quills on the belts. The man whose duty it was to pierce the breasts of the young braves for this suffering was named Pahu Katawah (knee print by the water). He was a great warrior and had struck his^enemies many times. Pe pierced my breast and put the wooden skewers through the skin and tied them to the ropes and st rung me up. While he was doing this Pahu Katawah was praying to Tirawa, asking that he would take pity on me, as he had taken pity on him. So I began to dance and to try to break loose, and I kept dancing day and night. • On the fourth day. which was the last of the dance. I tore loose from tha sticks that were through my breast and Pahu Katawah led me around the ring four times, and then had me stand in frbnt of Medicine Chief, who put on me the different ornaments., one by one. in the order in which they%ad been given by the animals to the Ree brave who first received them.

t>ome tune alter tnis nance was over Spotted Horse determined to make a journey to war and he led us about through the village, dancing, to get 'us ready. We started, and went far up on the head of the South Platte river, close to the Rocky mountains. As we were traveling alcng we came to a trail where a number of people had passed, and this trail led into the mountains. We followed it. and when it became fresher Spotted Horse sent me with another ahead1 of the party to follow the tra!l and see where the camp was. We followed this trail, and at length, when we looked over a hill, we saw close to us a large herd of horses, and beyond them the camp. Then we turned about, and came back to our party and told Spotted Horse what we had seen. Here we held a council to decide what we should do. whether to attack the camp and try to kill some people, or to drive off the horses. We decided to take the horses. The people of this camp were Cheyennes. Before we started we prayed and made sacrifices to Tirawa and to the sun and moon and stars. After night had come we went down to‘the camp, and while the young men gathered up the horses that were on the hills older warriors went into the camp and cut loose those tied in front of the lodges. We drove off these horse*—about 300— among them many spotted horses and mules. All that night and the next day and the second night and day we rode very fast, but after that we went more slowly. On the seventh day we sat down in a circle and divided the horses. So Tirawa had taken pity on us and helped us through the power of this dance. Not Eager for a Song. Patience—Won’t you ask her to singf for us? You know she’ll never do anything that 1 ask her. Patrice—Th^n I’d rather have you ask her.—Y outers St a tesznaa.

ABUSE THE MARKETS. i Om a* Naked Plea of Overproduction Disaster Has Bees Forced l poa the People. The alarmist has a poor vocation. Men. generally speaking, who are engaged in active industries, are much given to discounting the prosperity whicn Seems apparent to almost everyone who is not profoundly thoughtful oh the conditions necessary to and the interruptions which are a constant source to the necessary conditions. Therefore it is that the honest masters of trade are constantly on the lookout for an interruption of the essential conditions which insure prosperity. Were these dependent on supply and demand it would not be difficult to gauge the relations, between the producer and the consumer, and if honest principles were in control between the two forces, production anti consumption, the crisis would in most instances be averted, or certainly controlled within the smallest space of the business affected. A large, intelligent lesson has been taught in the last few weeks to those controlling the productive market. It it a notable fact that prices of stock in all the actives had sailed into the skies, and insatiate grCed was doing its full pari to keep them to their flight. The conservative buyers fully appreciated the situation. They felt that the speculators had taken a fearful hold on the manufacturing industries, and the result could not be anything but disastrous. They would not be losers. They could hold their holdings. They could give warnings and thus prepare the public for the slump. They could go still further. They could punish ^ the vicious clement which had assaulted prices , without just cause, and who, it was claimed, Here amenable under the law. Within a day the slump came. Thousands of people were ruined. A great enterprise which had involved $100,000,000 to perform a service which only required 50 per cent: of that amount ($50,000^)00) was strugglingwith bankruptcy.

I here were other means of disorder which could have assailed the “Steel and Wire trust” other than the one which did. Either of them would have been as effective in destroying the prosperity of the concern. A strike or a lock-out would 'have been highly injurious. Or a combination of the controlling interest in the stock and other securities of the “trust” would have worked deplorable damage. On the naked plea of overproduction this disaster was forced on the people. It could not have been so done bad not its principal officers countenanced the movement, and thus gave the strength of their names to the reduction of values. It seems strange that no legislation can be enacted which will insure punishment to those commercial outlaws. That it is not reflects severely on the class of people whom the public selects for the discharge of legislative life. The lesson taught in the above described illustration is one which it is wisdom t^> heed. The labor, the wage-earners, are less given to the destruction of established industries than are the men who are in possession of the securities, and who speculate to illegitimate returns on the capital they have invested, even though it be of a liquid character.—Cincinnati Enquirer. points and Opinions. --“At the close of the Bryan campaign,” shouts a republican, “the gold in the treasury was only $97,■000,000; now it is $420,000,000.” And every dollar was taken out of taxpayers’pockets —half of them democratic taxpayers. —Chicago Chronicle. -As the trusts are already forwarding5 contributions to the republican campaign fund, it is not a violent presumption that they are entirely satisfied with the anti-trust resolutions of the republican conventions.—Helena (Moat.) Independent. -The political situation in the far west may make it necessary for Mr. McKinley to again journey toward the setting sun before the summer is over. The republiean campaign managers are hearing unpleasant news from the region beyond the Mississippi.—Boston Traveler.

-Had the McKinley administration observed the pledge of congress and made Cuba free and independent —withdrawn the troops and allowed the Cubans to govern themselves—it could not be charged with responsibility for the Havana postal scandals.— Grand Rapids Democrat. -Relief from the trusts through a republican congress that openly approves every piece of legislation authorizing these commercial brigands to put their hands deeper into the people" s pockets is as hopeless as trying to bale out the water from the sea with a sieve.—Kansas City Times. -The reckless manner in which money has been squandered in the administration of Cuban affairs as well as stolen by favorites of the white house and of Hanna does not give encouragement to look forward with approval to th£ passage of the act turning the Philippines over to the president with a free hand for the next six months.—Boston Post. -It is still said that’ the paramount issue of the presidential campaign will be the reelection of William McKiniey. Is William still a saint? Have not some of the exposures of the Avar with Spain, and some of the more recent startling revelations, done a good deal to dim the McKinley halo? Or will the people be satisfied with the assurance that the cabinet is diurnally considering the post office frauds with great gravity and that the president is still a dear, sweet man?—Cincinnati Enquirer.

NAIL THE GUILTY ON The Xatloi la Responsible air th* Loatlag of the Cabas P> M Moo. Unless congress shall take b hand the Cuban post office frauds an j thefts, whereby the Cuban people’hi re been robbed of hundreds of thousands of dollars by appointees of Prestden McKinley, and the United States has .teen put in the position of an unfaithfu trustee, the facts of the crime are lik ly to be smothered in the interest of McKinley’s reelection. At present the purpose of the administration setf as to be to make a show of activity ir dealing1 with one or two of the culjj .Hilts, and* then treat the whole subject as no longer of public concern. ' hen the plea will be offered that the ; wrongdoing was liable to occur unde amy administration, and that, when -detected, it was vigorously prosecuted;, An answer like this, however, does not cover the case. There 1 a,'re been dishonest officials, it is tru \ under democratic as well as republ ican rule, although it is equally under able that dishonesty on the part of p ihlic men has been much more frequ nt in republican administrations than in democratic, and that the era c;' flagrant corruption came in with the advent of the republican party > power. These Cuban frauds, howe’ er, have a turpitude all their own. They belong to that most odious class t f crimes— breaches of trust, and—wors of all— they constitute breaches oi rust not only on the part of those in Mediately guilty, but of the national government. As an employer is responsible for the acts of his agent, so President McKinley is responsible, and the. nation of which he is the head is responsible, fo^ the looting of Cuba’s post office treasury by knaves whom McKinl ey selected and appointed. It is, in one sense, as if a m inister or ambassador of the United States, admitted to a foreign couth; on the strength of his credentials, should steal the purse or rob the ieasury of the sovereign receiving him. The only way to clear the honor of the United States, which las been marredi and tarnished by 3 [c Kin ley’s Cuban carpet-baggers, is f »: congress to make an honest and es i mstive investigation, and fix the guilt and the responsibility where they :>elong. no matter how high the offenders. The cry of the democrats in con j ess should be that of Gen. Grant, when some of his trusted associates pro ed to be scoundrels: “Let no gui.ty man escape!’’ ■

THE PEOPLE APPEALED TO. E*v*y» of * Nation Stra tfllaf (or Freedom Ignored by 'tie Republicans. A Chicago McKinley orga n, the Tribune, anxious, lest the Boor envoys fall into the error of appealing to the people directly, instead of through the government, .expresses its lear that in' so doing they are in danger at the outset of becoming the plaything of a democratic political gathoying. It is a trifle surprising hat- the foreign envoys of a nation st uggling for freedom are not entitu«j to receive the sympathy of the Affie lean people or of that part of them allied to the democratic party. The suspicion is excited that if, in the leginning of the South African war, \ 1 ten the British were being mowed d( I n like grass with the Boer scythe, an English deputation had appeale^to the sympathy of the republic;® party it would have been grantee wfth a iervor enhanced by large contributions of money. That indeer was the republican sentiment ur. Mncealed by the republic^ press and Official Anglomaniacs. The real fear of* tie republican managers is not that the-' Boer envoys will fall into the hands'of thehe^fS^* uratfc Philistines, bnt Ix'Rause the policy of the McKinley administration has put itself so far at t of Jine with free government, whet r?r abroad or at home, that it sees slipping away from the party the allactions of a freedom-loving America i. people, and cannot avail itself of any expressed sympathy for a struggl ng. people, to add to Mr. McKinley’s chances of reelection

Since when is it thai the American people are not free to express sentiments adversj? to the pj 'fey and practices of the party in >nver? Is not chat^ a greater right in the people of this country than it is t ie right of the party in power to ad > :>t a policy in direct opposition to th<>. people and injurious to their interests? IVe might bring on i terrible war. TVrhaps, but would it rot be in a better c^se than bringing on an equally terrible war at the request of rioncombatants to collect a few paltry thousand dollars attend to be due from Turkey on ace.:i nt of highly overvalued second-ha: e wearing apparel?—National Democrat. The Republics.a Policy. It is melancholy hi these closing weeks of a session whi ch promised so much of solid advant: | e to the nation to look back and se how little has really been achieved mid howfmueh of that has been inexcusably bungled. It is so obvious as to bt tndeniable that in this congress tht democratic minority has thus far m rpassed the republican majority ii ;the two vital qualities of skill and Vand.” We have had, not perhaps a was ted,but certainly far from fruitful, session. The popular feeling toward republican congressional leadership ils one of-uncon-cealed discontent. It may easily become a feeling of dis» ist if affairs are not considerably be t ered before adjournment. For fivu months the republican policy in couifjress has been in large part one of ten { orizing, compromising and surrender.—Boston Jour* nal (Rep.), « ■

It Arrived Practically mm the Ere •* the Death of the Traeavaal He* VuMIc, and wu Received * altk Years aad Thaaka-Smlth wu V'emly Ceacreiwtotet. Philadelphia, June 2.—The North American has received the following cable message: “Pretoria, May 29.—By stress of dire circumstances the message the school boys of Philadelphia to President Kroger, delivered this day, has the tone at sympathy and sorrow at the final misfortune which is about to wipe tit* South African Republic from the roll of independent nations, rather than of encouragement to a people fighting for liberty—for the fight has been 'ought—and lost.

JAMES FRANCIS SMITH, la the Executive Chamber. “The message was delivered in the executive chamber ' at 'the capiiol, through the windows of which came the sound of ox carts and general confusion attendant upon ths evacuation of the city by the families of the Boers. The British are reported tc lie approaching. An Impressive Silence. r “There was an impressive silence in the chamber as the stern and venerable president of this doomed republic bent forward to receive from Messenger James Francis Smith the packet which the boy had traveled 12.0GQ miles to deliver into his hands. „• A NMMte ReverittiJ, “ ‘Caesar, >|orituri Te SalutamuV quoted Secretary of State Reitz, as tht president accepted the message. Then he added a bitter epigram: ‘On this occasion the message is reversed. Cat-sat greets those about to die.’ “This reference to the United States, and the message of sympathy from America to the president of a dying sister republic profoundly- moved everyone present. - Kroger Sited Tear*. “Tears glistened in the president's eyes as he took the packet from the messenger's hands. “In presenting the message, Smith made a manly speech, informing President Kruger of the nature of his mission as courier of the school boys ef Philadelphia. Secretary of State Reit* translated Smith's simple sentences as they were spoken. The “Xorth American" Book. “Then the book from the North American, containing the narrative ol the movement that culminated in th« dispatch of the messenger, and the ^ewspaper clippings expressive of th» sympathy of the people of the Untied States with the Boer cause' was presented. “President Kruger’s reply Wi gravt and courteous. He tendered hearty thanks to the American people, anc particularly to the liberty lads «.I Philadelphia, fer their sympathy, and charged Smith to return his greetings to the good people of America.

Smith Congratulated. “Then, with fatherly kindness:, he shook hands with Smith, congratulating him upon his completing his long journey in safety, and expressing, the hope that he woftld have an equally sate return,to his distant home. The entire group was then photographed.’* MUST PAY THEIR POLICIES, Judgment Against Insurance .Compauivs for Gold Requisitioned by the Boers. London, June 2.—It is the judgment of Justice Matthews, in the queen’s bench division of the high court of justice, that insurance companies will have to pay their policies on gold requisitioned by the Transvaal just prior to the outbreak of the war.
