‘TIS FOLLY TO BE WISE.
“I am going to the Astor library this
very minute, and the next time Mr. Van
Schaik comes to see me he will not go
away and tell that horrid dowdy, Nell
Denham, that I'm ‘a pretty little feather-
head.” Oh, dear! Oh, dear! If he had
only said it to someone else in the world
but to that girl, who still wears four-in-
hand ties and big sleeves, as Noah’s family
did when it came out of the ark, and does-
n’t know this year’s style of sailor hat from
last year’s 1”?
And so she hied herself off to the Astor
library.
Amaryllis was looking very sad when
Frivole arrived. Shedidn’t bave Frivole’s
rose and cream complexion or Frivole’s
merry laugh. But Frivole didn’t appre-
ciate ber blessings that morning. The first
thing she did was to begin to sob.
‘‘Frivole, dear, what is it ?’’
“Oh, nothing, only I wish—I wish I
could have a little wrinkle in my forehead
like you, and then people would say I
thought sometimes.’
Amaryllis rang for tea.
‘I am so discouraged, Amyrillis.”” And
she rolled her handkerchief into a ball and
dabbed each eye.
‘I want to be sensible and serious, and I
don’t know how. I want to be clever and
improve my mind. I want to be like
you!” And sucha picture of appealing
misery the silver teapot had scarcely re-
vealed before.
Amaryllis looked horrified.
‘“‘Mr. Van Schaik, the awfully clever
one, who writes books and is a lawyer and
is going to Congress and all that you know
—well, he called once in awhile, and he
said I was a f-featherhead. Ob, what a
dreadful word !"’
‘‘And you wish to please this gifted
creature ?’”’ said Amaryllis, dropping a
lump of sugar into Frivole’s tea. ‘‘Sup-
pose you read some. Take up a course of
history. Dolly Madison is a fad just now.
Read up Dolly and the war of 1812. War
makes good small talk these days, and if
he is going to Congress’’—
“I sounds very hard,’’ faltered the am-
bitious one, ‘but I'll try."”’
‘“That’s right dear. Now I’ll confide in
you. Frivole, I want to be frivolous.”’
“Oh, Amaryllis !”’
“I'm tired of being learned, I want to
know how to be attractive and pleasant
when people are tired as well as when they
are fresh and ready to listen and argue. I
want to be like you. Now, tell me how.
You never weary people or task their in-
intellects or weary their nerves. You
amuse them and refresh them.”
‘Oh, talk nonsense and wear pretty
dresses, and when the atmosphere is sad
just curl your hair all over! I think you
are awfully foolish, though. I don’t know
much about anything else, but mamma al-
ways said a flirt was born a flirt, and I
think yon would not be half so nice if you
were frivolous, Amaryllis.”’
So they parted.
It was fragrant and softly gloomy in the
lamplighted music room, and Frivole,
looking rather white and anxious, sat bolt
upright on the piano stool. ‘
All'day she had been ‘‘studying litera-
ture’ and ‘‘improving her mind.”” Kings
and Queens were to her as so many pup-
pets. Paganism and civilization were
words to play with. She was well
up in literature. It wasa novel position
for Frivole, and when Mr. Van Schaik was
ushered in he was surprised. She didn’t
run into the hall to meet him with some
absurd welcome which he heard, misunder-
stood and analyzed as charming. She
didn’t laugh and shake her hand vigorous-
ly and then sit down with a cloud of frills
around her and chatter to him.
Alas, she did nothing of the kind! He
awoke her from a scene of carnage when he
entered, and she raised two brilliant eyes
and a flushed face from her hook, advanced
with intense suffering depicted on every
feature and, wringing his hand, said :
‘Oh, Mr: Van Schaik, how glad I am to
see you! Wasn’t it perfectly dreadful
about poor Mary, queen of Scots ?’
It was very unkind of him, but Mr. Van
Schaik went away to the mountains next
day. He declared that his nerves were
completely shaken up.
* * * * * *
Amaryllis shook the silver tea bell an-
grily, and Frivole allowed the two mean-
dering tears to caress her pink cheeks.
“Well, it’s a consolation anyhow, Am-
aryllis, to know that yon were not a suc-
cess.”
“Thanks,’’ said Amaryllis.
*‘What did they say when you tried to
be like me ?”’
“Well, I don’t like to seem rude, Fri-
vole, dear, the family wouldn’t listen.
They simply absconded. Thegirls all said
I had turned into Dodo. You remember
Dodo in the hook, who talked about her
baby as a landed proprietor and wished she
could be a Christian martyr, so that her
fingers could curl up like bacon when they
burned her at the stake !
“Then my Jaugh—you know you laugh
all the time, Frivole—well, my laugh
scared Bob so that he knocked over a vase
which father brought from Egypt, and they
all concluded that I was hysterical and had
better take a vacation.’’
“Poor Amaryllis! I'll go with you if
my gray frock comes home.”’
*‘And what did Mr. Van Schaik say after
you tried to open the conversation ?'’
‘Say ? Why, he almost fainted, and—
Idon’t think he appreciates clever, cal-
tured women. It all depends on what one
is used to, I suppose.’
And then they drank some more tea.

Sun Dance of the Poncas.
The Weird Ceremony Which This Year a White Man
Saw. Last Three Days and Nights and Works Up
the Indians to a Great State of Excitement—Tor-
tures the Braves Underwent.
A White Eagle, Oklahoma, letter to the
New York ‘‘Sun,’” says : The annual sun
dance of the Ponca Indians was held near
this place in the last full moon of Au-
gust. Nearly two hundred Indians, in-
cluding several women aud a hoy scarcely
12 years old, participated in it, and more
than a thousand Indians were in camp.
The presents were costlier and more num-
erous than had been given in years. The
dance was attended by visiting Kaws,
Osages, Otoes, Pawnees and a band of Pon-
cas from Nebraska. The master of cere-
monies was White Eagle, head chief of the
tribe, a magnificent Indian, standing 6 feet
and three inches in his moccasins. The
white tapees of the Indians stood in an im-
mense circle on a prairie east of the gov-
ernment agency building. On the north
was the Arkansas river, marked by rugged
hills and the verdure of its forests, as it
came down from the far-off mountains of
Colorado in its ever widening and winding
reaches. Faint columns of smoke from the
tepee fires rose softly in the summer air,
the tinkle of bells came faintly from the
pony herds, grazing in the valley, and
tawny children jumped and shouted at play
while the men sat smoking in solemn
groups, and the women, bearing the bur-
dens of tribal life, busied themselves with
domestic duties.
The sun dance was celebrated with three
days and nights of dancing. The Poncas,
once a warlike and powerful tribe on the
Western plains hold to the traditions and
ceremonies of this dance with great devo-
tion, although time and circumstances have
modified some of its characteristic features.
It came to the Poncas from the Sioux long
ago, but even at this day in essential de-
tails it is the same as the sun dance of the
Sioux. The Poncas say that the dance is
an invocation to the Great Spirit through
the power and majesty of the sun for an
abundance of food in the coming year and
for preservation from disease and evil
spirits. It also expresses gratitude for
whatever good fortune has come in the
past. The literal significance of its cus-
toms and of its decorations and equipments
of the dancers is difficult to learn. Even
the most capable students of the sun dance
have told little else than how it was per-
formed, advancing into perplexing uncer-
tanties when they attempted to tell why
this or that thing was doue.
The ceremony is always held on a level
plain. The tepee camp circle of the Poncas
this year was possibly a quarter of a mile
in diameter. The entrance to this circle
was from the east, toward the rising sun.
The tepees facing toward the centre. First
the customary councii of the head men was
held to decide upon the program. Only
the head chief and his band chiefs have the
right to sit in this council of their own
volition, and the honor of an invitation,
seldom conferred, is greatly coveted by In-
dians whose status is simply membership
in the tribe. Unless invited the latter are
not even permitted to approach the
council tepee. But this year a white
friend of the Poncas was invited to the
council.
‘‘We have grown to love you as if you
were a Ponca,’’ said White Eagle, courtier
and diplomat, to him. ‘‘Since you were a
little boy you have known us and been our
friend. When my people were hungry in
the cold winter you gave them food. When
our ponies were stolen you helped us get
others,” and when our children died, and
the women were weeping in the forest, you
gave us money to buy coffins. We ask you
to eat with us and smoke the pipe. On
this day and at this council we eat dog,
and in many years no white man has been
given the honor oi eating dog with the
Poncas.”’
The white man was in distress. He had
not known that the Poncas ate dog. Asa
rule, the tribe had long since abandoned
the custom, but it had survived in the de-
liberations of the sun dance council. So
dog was eaten. A plate, a cup, a spoon,
but no knife or fork, were placed in front
of each person. A steaming brass kettle
was brought in and. beginning with the
white man, a portion of meat and a quanti-
ty of soup were placed in each plate. This
was repeated in turn until the contents of
the kettle had been exhausted. Bread was
broken and coffee poured. A fat pup ahout
the size of a big coon bad been cooked.
Thanks to the squaw, the head, tail and
feet had been thrown away. The white
man drew the hambone of a hind leg, and
his task was to consume about a quarter of
a pound of dog meat. Bracing himself for
the ordeal, he seized the meat with his fin-
gers and began eating. But, so he said af-
terwards, there was worse things than dog.
The meat was seasoned with. salt, and tast-
ed not unlike young pig. The Indians ate
with gusto, aud the white man ate most of
his share and.then excused himself from
other indulgence by saying that he had
just eaten at home, and was not very hun-
gry.
After the feast on dog the dishes were
removed and White Eagle filled his red
sand stone pipe with tobacco mixed with
the inner bark of the red willow that comes
from the land of the Sioux. The pive was
passed around, and the feast came to an
end.
‘You now same as Ponca,’ said White
Eagle to his guest. ‘‘We want you to
bring your tepee and your wife and chil-
dren, and camp with us while we dance.”
Several days were consumed in prepar-
ing for the sun dance. First came the war
chase. The Indians painted themselves in
war colors, caparisoned their ponies for
battle and assembled at sunrise on a low
hill outside the camp circle. Suddenly
there was the sound of the warwhoop and
the tumult of running horses. The Indians
came charging into the camp circle at break-
neck speed, riding their ponies furiously
round in front of the tepees, firing their
guns at imaginary foes, and obscuring each
other in dust and smoke. Twice did they
ride the circle, the women standing in
front of the tepees chanting in a weird
minor key. Then checking their horses
suddenly the riders rode to their chiefs who
stood at the centre of the camp circle and
dispersed.
A committee was sent to find the sacred
tree which is supposed to grow in some
mysterious place in the forest. The Poncas
use the willow, although the Sioux, from
whom the Poncas got the sun dance, use
the ash. The tree, ahout thirty feet high,
was carried into camp with much solemni-
ty. All the branches, except near the top,
were removed. The latter were bound to-
gether with willow withes. A banner of
black cloth was fastened to the top, alter-
nate bands of bark were removed, and the
bare places painted red. About half way. | -
up the tree, and-almost at right angles
with the trunk, was fastened a bundle of
willow branches. The tree was raised and
fixed in the ground by the squaws. Then
each Indian who had signified his intention
of dancing appeared at she door of his tepee
and at a signal ran with all his might to
the sacred tree. The Indian who first
reached the tree was considered to have
achieved the greatest honor, his success he-
ing regarded as an auspicious omen. To
fall in the race meant death within the
coming year, unless the runner should be
raised to bis feet by a chief, in which case
his iife would be prolonged beyond his al-
lotted time.
Around the sacred tree the squaws built
the dance tepee, with an entrance toward
the dawn. Two concentric circles of poles
about eight feet apart were fixed in the
ground and joined together at the top by
crosspieces, upon which was laid a roof of
canvass or green boughs. This year the
Poncas used canvass; last year the roof was
built of willow branches. = The sacred tree
and a greater part of the space immediately
surrounding it were open to the sky. A
wall of willow branches was fastened to the
outer circle of poles to screen the dancers
from too curious eyes. Near the entrance
to the camp circle was raised a tepee, in
which the dancers were costumed and
painted. The fact that an Indian would
take part in the sun dance was shown by a
banner on a tall pole in front of his tepee.
Then, when everything was in readiness
for the dance, the banners were moved and
massed together near the entrance to the
dance tepee. They were of bright colors
and could he seen from a long distance
fluttering gaily in the wind.
There was dancing both in the dance
tepee and on the open ground in front of
its entrance. The dancers were naked ex-
cept for a breechcloth and a short apron.
These aprons were elaborately trimmed
with beads. Their bodies were painted red
or yellow, some using one color and some
the other. On their arms, faces and chests
were curious designs in white, black, red,
yellow and green, each dancer using one or
more of these colors, indicating thereby
some brave deed he had performed, the
tribal band to which he belonged, or the
leader under whose tutelage he danced.
Their black hair hung loosely on their
shoulders and in it were fastened bags of
“medicine.”
The dancing on the first day began at
sunrise. And as many Indians as could sit
within reach of a big drum, heat upon it
in good time, and chanted the supplicating
songs of the sun dance. Women joined in
the sipging, grouping themselves on the
ground near the drummers. Each dancer
bad a wooden whistle adorned with the
soft plomes of the bald eagle, which he
blew in time with the drum beats, raising
his feet stiffly and alternately from the
ground, and swaying his chest with a
peculiar backward and forward motion.
The whistles sounded like the calls of a
large flock of young turkeys. The dancer
did not touch the whistle with his hands
which hung loosely at his side. A few of
the dancers held shields. Each dancer
gazed steadfastly at the sun, asif in ecstacy
of adoration, and occasionally lifted high
his hands, with his palms toward the sun.
White Eagle and his head men of the tribe
took turns in harranguing the dancers, in-
citing them to be brave, and relating deeds
of prowess of Indians long dead and gone.
When the sun sank in the west and the
full moon rose in the east. silvering the
earth with a tenderer light, the dancers
continued their devotions, gazing upon the
moon which is interchangeable with the
sun in this dance.
For three days and nights the dance con-
tinued, the dancers retiring at intervals to
rest beneath the shelter of the dance tepee.
Scarcely any food was eaten. On the last
day Sits-on-the-Hill, the old medicine man
of the Poncas, his wrinkled face hideously
painted, bolding in one hand his whistle
and a small bell and in the other a small
mirror which he flashed toward the sun,
danced alone outside the tepee. He danced
in a manner that was a wonder in barbaric
ritualism. A long semi-circle of dancers,
with waving banuers above them made a
magnificent background.
Sits-on-the-Hill was a consummate actor
and the picture was as wild and unciviliz-
ed as the dream of a fetish worshiper in the
depths of an African forest. With short,
quick steps, he began the round of a circle
about one hundred feet in diameter. With
uplifted face and arms, he addressed the
sun slowly and as if in awe of some great
mystery. Again, his words came from be-
tween his teeth as a man speaks in the
stress of great pain. Several times he cross-
ed his arms over his breast. The wailing
song of the women and the dram beaters,
the booming drum and the sounding
whistles were a savage accompaniment.
The desire of the dancer is to have visions
in which he believes that he receives reve-
lations from the Great Spirit. Should his
dancing fail to produce this visionary state.
he resorted in former days to physical tor-
ture, horrible in its cruelty. The dancer
who offered himself for torture stood un-
flinchingly while an old warrior, lifting as
much flesh as he could grip on the dancer’s
back or chest, thrust through it a wooden
skewer and drew after it a rawhide thong.
The Poncas are said never to have used a
knife for this purpose. The thong was tied
and the other end fastened to the sacred
tree. Often from a half a dozen to a dozen
dancers were attached to the sacred tree at
one time. Sometimes the thong was so
short that the dancer had to be lifted from
his feet to permit its being drawn through
the flesh. There he remained until his
own weight or his struggles released him.
Often he hung suspended for hours, blood
streaming down his body and his skin and
flesh heaped and distended in a great mass
where the thong was attached.
Another dancer would tie his thong to a
buffalo skull which was dragged on the
ground until the thong was torn from his
flesh. A dancer could take his favorite
pony intoa dance. This was doneby a
Ponca in the last dance. and the pony was
tied to the sacred tree. In the old days
the thong was tied to the pony’s tail and
the pony whipped until it ran and the
throng was torn from the master’s body.
White Eagle submitted to torture in this
manner at a san dauce in Dakota in 1873.
Dancers bave frequently fainted and some
died in the sun dance torture. A majority
of the Poncas bear the scars of torture.
This ceremony was long since prohibited
by the agents of the government, but there
is scarcely an Indian tribe in Oklahoma
even at this day, that would not revive the
en.
An important feature of the sun dance is
the giving of presents. The whole tribe
participates, and families impoverish them-
selves hy their prodigality. Huudreds of
ponies, blankets, beads, necklaces, shawls
and bolts of calico were given at the last
sun dance. In several instances money
was presented. One family gave a carriage,
barness and three trunks filled with cloth-
ing, and blankets.
