the way of a large bag. "Here’s a fine
one," lie said. "The best alligator bag
you can get. Only-"
“Look heah, boss,” interrupted the
darkey impatiently, “I done toie yo’

With a smile for your loved ones true?
Come, tell me, now, is a churlish frown
The best that they get from you?
Do you rise in the morning merry,
Or gloomy and cross and sad?
Do you growl and snarl at your morning
meal
Because the coffee is bad?
Don’t do it, for life has troubles.
Ah, many, and greater, too.
For the simple tilings in the morning
hours
To bother a man like you.
Got up with a smile and wrhistle;
Get up with a cheery word;
For a morning grouch, when you think
of it,
My brother, is so absurd.
Reserve your growls and your bitter w'ords
For the time when a real grief frets youi
What chance have you in life’s big affairs
If a trifling thing upsets you?

THE INDIAN WAR DANCE
The Chippewas, of White Earth Res
ervation Preserve Tradition.
>•——-— -- ———- — ■
Keith Clark, In St. Paul Dispatch.
! The dance is held on a high hill.
1 overlooking the trading post of White
Earth to the east, and overlooking the
Tar-stretching, down-dropping hills of
the reservation to the west. A flag
pole stands in the middle of the ring,
carrying aloft the American flag,
where once it was like a totem pole
that carried the Chippewa flag, a long
pennant made of eagle feathers, like
a w'ar bonnet. About the foot of the
flagstaff are squatted the drummers,
four, six, or eight, as the energy of the
dance demands, each with his drum
stick, the drum itself, a large six-foot
expanse, rich and low in note. Each
drummer has but one stick, for he is
expected not only to beat the tom-tom,
hut to sing, high or low as emotion de
mands, this hi-yl-hi-yi of the dance
song.
| And you cannot believe, until you
hear it. the infinite possibilities of the
single drum-note, of the single word
phrase.
| -
| The dance begins at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, lasting till sundown. The
Chiefs and the warriors gather slowly,
coming by ones and twos and threes,
ifrotn the tepees that dot the hills for
a mile and more about, bright splashes
in their gay array of buckskin and bead
work, with many a modern color
1 worked into the caparison. As they
come across the hills they are wrapped
in bright blankets, or more often, in
ithe very patchw'ork quilts which the
squaws are making us deftly as the
white grandmothers did: indeed, the
; patchwork quilt fits into the picture
i perfectly. And the braves are close
I
on the reserve, tall, slender, an Intelli
gent face, the finest example of what
civilization does and does not undo.
There was Nay-ah-tah-wab, of the
Red Lake band, for the Indians of this
reservation come down to make merry
with the White Earthmen. Nay-ah
tah-wab Is stout and joyous, quite the
life of his very lively hand, and not at
all hearing out his translation of "Man
who-sits-alone.”
There was Pl-pl-ya, a Sioux, whose
name translates into The-one-who
does-things. And indeed he does things,
for while the Ojibways are u. worthy
people and their dunce full of grace
and meaning, It Is the Sioux who dance
the best, the Sioux who are the orig
inal dancers.
For this very dance we are watching
was borrowed less than 30 years ago
from the Sioux, It is the Sioux who
discovered the tom-tom, who Invented
even the squaw dance.
And that squaw dance! It Is the
Christmas of the Indian. For no one
dances In the circle but those who have
given each other gifts. Men may give
to men, women to women, but more
often It Is men and women. The one
who Invites crosses the ring, throws the
gift at the feet of the Invited, returns
to the ring, and the other must follow;
they make a rlow shifting foot move
ment about, shoulder to shoulder, some
times hip to hip, with just a suggestion
of ancient Egyptian motion—may I say
hoochee cooehee? The gifts vary from
maple sugar cakes, calico strips, hand
kerchiefs, to shawls, blankets, quilts,
rings, pipes, bead work, rlfies, even
ponies are brought into the ring and
given.
IN BUI
Old Resident Bug: “Whew! This i
• boy!"
1 wrapped, the blanket covering even the
head dress, and coming down to the
moccasins; they seek the effect as pos
itively as masquers who throw aside
the domino.
Must I confess that I saw but one
headed buckskin shirt? For "bucks”
| cannot wear buckskin when bucks grow
I scarce. There were gay calico shirts,
and one of royal purple, which I might
venture to call taffeta silk. There were
a few pairs of painted legs on the very
j young bbys, and there were several
suits of pajamas serving as "glad .rags”
! In this ceremony. But generally the
' warrior wears the white man’s shirt
and trousers, putting his gorgeous
| beaded double bags, his beaded clout
j and belt, his beaded knee garters and
i leggings over these, but wearing still
the grand headdress of eagle’s feath
I ers—if he is entitled to eagle’s—paint
ing his face in ancient, honorable fash
\ (on, and carrying tomahawk or club
! Into the ring w ith him.
1 The ring becomes a wonderful kalei
doscope of rainbow colors, with 40 or
SO warriors dancing about the tom
tom, repeating the hi-yi-hi-yi of the
drummers, very dignified and full of
Intention, the step restrained, only the
I young men lifting the foot much from
j the earth, and only the younger men
I bending the body backward and for
i ward. For the young braves have the
I joy of living in them; the old chiefs
have long memories of what has been
and will not be again.
There was Chief Mah-ge-ke-geshieg,
still chief of the tribe, in spite of the
fact that tribal relations are no longer
recognized, a magnificent old man, be
tween 80 and 90, who would attract
attention anywhere, splendid in much
green and many beads, and an eagle
headdress as chieftain.
v There was Chief Joseph Charette,
Wain-che-mah-dub in the Chippewa, a
poetic figure in Ills bright scarlet, the
long flowing hair, touched slightly with
i gray, as beautiful as though he had
just stepped out of mediaeval romance,
us beautiful as French salon ever saw.
There was Ojib-way. father to Peter
Parker, the old man of such age as to
have lost all relation with years, the
younger man. a vigorous brave of mid
dle age, In spite of the fact that he
served Minnesota in the civil.war.
There was young John Lufkins, dls
I clplinarian of the school at Ponsford
5VILLE.
s th’ wust storm we’ve had since I was
There is no one so generous as th®
Indian; no where is socialism so strong
ly entrenched.
They are dancing yet, this very aft
ernoon, most of all this very evening,
up there, on the reservation, so much
farther from us than a mere 250 miles,
as far as White Earth was from Gran
ada hack in 1492. Most of all they art
dancing tonight, for the beginning last
Monday was only the beginning, all
this week they have been on with the
dance, each evening later, each day
more madly, each time with more gen
erous surrendering of those gifts, even
the very trappings from their bodies,
which marks the final frenzy of their
meeting.
Yes, I should like to see the danc®
tonight, when after a week's slow
sloughing off, they have dropped civi
lization and are come back to that
state which was theirs long ago, even
if only so short a time as 30 or 40
years.
The sound of the tom-tom is irre
sistible. Perhaps if you have heard it
only on exposition grounds, where these
wilderness folk have been brought for
show, heard it mingled with the sound
of “civilized” noises, you will not be
lieve. But to hear it far from this civilil
zation, in its place, to hear it sounding
over the hills, faint, just suggested, to
be drawn by it willy nllly, to find your
self standing there for hours 1s—is per
haps to find that you, too, are aborigi
nal.
Somewhere, back In an apparently
unsullied ancestry that runs to Ameri
can beginnings, 1 am convinced that I
must have crossed hands with the first
folk. For not the fate motive of Wag
ner's "Nibelungen Ring," nor the Eove
Potion motive of "Tristan and Isolde”
commands me more, or more definitely,
than the hypnotic tom-tom-tom of the
OJibway dance ring. Do you remember
that final drum which closes all the
music drama of "Tristan?” Then, per
haps, you will understand the tom-tom.

HERE’S A WAY TO SAVE DOCTOR
BILLS.
Fhyalclnna Give Free Advice b»
Which I'urenla May Profit.
It’s a matter of general Interest Just
now how one’s physical condition can
bo got into shape to best receive the
benefits of the summer season. Espe
cally Is this true of the children. They
have become run down by a winter of
unnatural manner of living because of
ill-considered food and much time
spent Indoors. Spring comes with lt»
sunshine, Its fresh vegetables and all
else Invigorating, but the children are
In no condition to receive nature’s
, remedies.
Many parents call in the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage of what the physician told
them when he was first called in con
j sultation. All good family physicians
i say: “Give the children Castoria."
| Healthy parents know this remedy of
old, for they took It themselves as
' children. It was more than thirty
years ago that Castoria made a place
for Itself in the household. It bore
the signature of Charles H. Fletcher
then, as It does to-day. The signature
is Its guarantee, which is accepted In
thousands of homes where there are
children.
Much Is printed nowadays about big
families. Dr. William J. McCrann. of
: Omaha, Neb., 1b the father of one of
these much-read-about families. Here
is what he says:
“As the father of thirteen children
I certainly know something about
your great medicine, and aside from
my own family experience I have, in
my years of practice, found Castoria
a popular and efficient remedy in al
most every home.”
Charles H. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same esteem
for Castoria that Dr. McCrann has.
Not only do these physicians say they
use Castoria in their own families,
but they prescribe It for their pa
tients. First of all It is a vegetable
preparation which assimilates the
food and regulates the stomach and
bowels. After eating comes sleeping,
and Castoria looks out for that, too.
It allays feverishness and prevents
loss of sleep, and this absolutely with
out the use of opium, morphine or
other baneful narcotic.
Medical journals are reluctant to
discuss proprietary medicines. Hall's
Journal of Health, however, says:
| “Our duty is to expose danger and re
cord the means for advancing health,
The day for poisoning innocent chil
dren through greed or ignorance

He declared himself a firm optimist.
