To Swear Againit Pa.
Ho waa ■ mere al rfpliog of a lad He
might have been 7 years of age or he
might have been 9. Nobody could tell
by looking at his face, says the New
Orleans Tim>s Democrat The only
mark of ceriainty about thtf youthful
countenance waa the sure sign that
some of hia ancestors .had come from
old Ireland.
The little fellow walked hastily into
the office ol the warrant clerk of Re
corder Kirioegan’f court He did not
notice the lour persona standing in line
wailing to get affidavits -made out
Against aome bothersome relatives, but
the youth pushed through the crowd
and direugagcd the attention of the
clerk with Ibis odd demand :
“I want to make an affidavit against
my pa,” said he, and pushed his little
nd heed around the aide of the desk-
• You want what?” queried the clerk.
‘ I want to swear against pa,” said
tlw boy again.
‘ What liaa your pa done?”
“He has just been in a prize fight
with ma.”
■‘Well, why don't your ma swear out
toe warrant aga ml pa? My boy, you
are too young ; you won’t fill the bill.”
“My ma can't come, and she wanted
me to fix it up for her.”
“Why could she not come?” asked
the clerk, getting interested in the
youngster’s story. He could not imag-.
ino why the wife would not be only 100
willing to swear out the warrant.
“My pa and ma they got in the fight
in the kitchen. That is l>6w it haps
peoed. My pa made a drive for her,
but didn’t land, and then my nra she
grabbed up t\e rolling pin and floored
tho old man. She is now setting on
him, holding him down, and that is
why she couldn’t come to swear against
h,im. She sent me.”
War.
War produces nothing; its only
mission is to'dostroy, and even
wages rise, the cost of living advances
out of proportion A few do become
rich The close of tho last war found
a few millionaire who were poor when
it began, but it was at the cost of the
many. There is no way that it could
be otherwise. It is common today to
hear such expressions as that a war
would boa good thing, that business
would be better, and the like,but there
could be no greater delusion so far as
the welfare of the great body of the
people is concerned. If war produced
wealth, this would be a rich old world
indeed by time, for there have
been ware enough in times past to
have made all men living millionaires,
if war could have done it.—Manchest

CALLING BACK THE SUN.
'■"*
The Mogul Dane. That Helps to Cause th.
Return of Summer and HarveeU.
Dr. Tewkes of the Smithsonian instltu
tian at Washington returned recently tc
Denver from tho Moqui villages in Ari
zona, where ho attended the winter dances
of tho Indians. Ho is ono of the few white
men who have ever seen this remarkable
ceremony, and the result of his visit will
appear in a detailed report on his return
to Washington.
The danoo or cere, >ny is called the say
la-na, and is the mo. t complicated of all
thp religious ceremonies among tho Mo
quis. It continues for nine days, includ
ing preliminary preparations. It is ono of
the few ceremonies still in exlstoifce among
tho uncivilized tribes in which tho sun is
directly tho object of worship. The dance
takes place at the winter solstice when tho
sun has receded to its farthest limit in the
southern sky. Its object is primarily to
Induce tho sun to recede from its southern
inarch and retrace Its stops toward the
north, to bring joy, warmth and returning
harvests to the Moquis. Tho secondary ob
ject is to extend a peace offering to the
great plumed snake, a deity hostile to the
sun, in order that his wrath may be ap
peased and he may cease to chase the sun
away from tho Moquis.
The main dance took place at Walpai on
Dec. 20, and on tho 22d at Oriaba. It was
held between 10 and 12 o’clock in tho
evening in one of tho secret rooms of tbe
khiva. A rude altar had been construct
ed In one end of the room, back of which
was a partition of wreaths and flowers,
through which the head of an effigy of tho
plumed serpent protruded. This head was
about 18 inches long and about 12 inches
in diameter and made from a large gourd.
The upper part of the head was stained
black, the lower part whlro, and the
mouth, with a hideous exhibition of teeth,
was stained red. Behind this screen was
an -Indian, whose office it was to impart to
tho head of the reptile a swaying motion,
as if the serpent was imbued with life. At
the same time a number of Indians blew In
to hollow gourds, which emitted a strange
rushing sound to imitate the noise made
by the swift movement of a monster snake.
In front of tho altar and the effigy of the
snake appeared a warrior with a shield on
which were represented emblems of the
sun. These minor deities and the plumed
snake attacked the warrior representing
tho sun, and a battle ensued in which the
lone warrior triumphed, beating back his
enemies, and thus being enabled to return
to tho north to cheer the land of the Mo
quis.
The next morning after the performance
as the sun rises above the eastern horizon
and tips tho western hills with gold the
Indians offer up their prayers and sprinkle
holy meal in its fore, and by these simple
acts of devotion welcome its return from
tho southern skies, and with It also tho re
turn of tho kachenos, the good spirits
who bring the Moquis rain, corn, abun
dance of harvest and all tho blessings, of
life.—New York Sun.
Famous Washington Parrots.
Chief Justice Fuller has a Mexican par
rot of which he is very fond and of whose
acquirements he is exceedingly proud. Its
latest accomplishment is to call the chief
justice “grandpa.” Tbe title was not so
pleasing at first, butsinco his last married
daughter, Mrs. Beecher, has presented the
family with two grandchildren in two
years ho is perfectly resigned to tho inev
itable title, even from a parrot’s lips.
There are several distinguished friends of
the chief justice who talk parrot with him
and swap bright sayings of their pets.
For ono, the British embassador has an
exceedingly talkative and well informed
bird. His name is Jacob, and he has been
a pet in tho family for 13 years. Not long
ago -Jacob was blown from the window
seat of the dining room of the embassy
and was picked up in tho street by a boy—
a good boy, as it happened—and conse
quently was restored after about a week,
in which the family nearly went distract
ed.
The good boy was rewarded by the finest
atlas that Sir Julian could find, with his
name in it, as a reward of merit, and the
good boy is the envy of all his school
mates.
Tho wife of the Mexican minister, Mme.
Romero, has a parrot who is a fine lin
guist. Ho speaks Spanish and French
and occasionally English. Ho is a beauti
ful Mexican bird and is quite tho idol of
tho family. Miss Mitchell, daughter of J.
J. Mitchell, cousin of Mrs. Stanley Mat
thews, has a parrot of rare attainments,
who talks and sings. Judge Advocate
General Lieber also has a well trained par
rot. —Washington Letter in Chicago Trib

What’Zola Has Undertaken.
The government Is tho smallest of M.
Zola's foes. He faces an angrywiation,
which, with exceptions that hardly count
in the flood of passion and prejudice, is ex
asperated against Dreyfus almost to tho
shedding of blood. His indictment, what 1
ever may come of it, is a piece of tho most
heroic courage in tho annals of civil life.
He has had a foretaste of the persecution
that awaits him. Colonel Picquart, who
was the first to expose Esterhazy, has been
arrested and shut up at Mont Valerien. It
is rumored that M. Mathieu Dreyfus is to
bo prosecuted, and, if possible, to be bled
with a demand for damages fixed at £20,-
000. But the most conspicuous figure of
this group of brave men struggling for the
justice of an open trial is the great writer
who leads their forlorn hope. If tho gov
ernment give him an open trial, ho may
yet succeed in putting its methods to
shame. It is more probable that it will
bring his old age to ignominy and ruin.—
London News.
The Curfew Hell.
Tho Rev. Charles A. Crane, a Methodist
minister of Boston, advocates the revival
of tho curfew bell in that city. “Boston,”
ho said tho other evening, “owes it to her
self, and especially to her boys, to pass and
faithfully execute a curfew law which shall
require all children 10 years of ago and
under to bo off the streets at 8 o’clock in
the winter and 9 o’clock in tho summer.
Lincoln, Neb., was tho first city to adopt
tho cprfew law, about two years ago.
Omaha, Denver, Kansas City, Des Moines,
Topeka and Evanston, Ills., are among
tho larger cities which have followed. Tho
testimony in favor of tho innovation is
strong. Tho chief of police of St. Joseph,
Mo., says that seven-eighths of the people
give it their sincere approval.- There has
been a reduction of 50 per cent in com
mitments to the reform school from that
city. ’’
Frightening Him.
“Now, just as soon as you areinarried,”
said the experienced husband, “tho life in
surance solicitors will bo after you in
droves.”
“Is matrimony so dangerous as that?”
asked tbe candidate for nuptial honors,
with apprehension in his voice.—Detroit
