Hallo t,w * 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 er Union.

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 une. 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 Free Press. . 0 n. • Flemister & Bridges. -| Flemister & Bridges.
