ELK GALL A CONDIMENT Time of Plenty In Tatal For Bark to Gorge HtniHrlf with Twen ty Pounds of Meat In One Night l No Unusual Tiling Among the : :i'lnn. 1 " Thomas A. Kdltton referred to t: American Indians when he said tl ..t people were eating themselves to doath, he could And Twenty corrob oration of his theory on the reserva tions. Overeating Is c'oing more to bring about the extinction of the Sioux and Yankton Indians than race ulrlde, firewater and all the diseases which haunt the wigwam of the red man. The great tribe of Sioux Indians is disappearing. The members, it is declared, are literally eating them selves to death on account of the plenty about them. If corroborative evidence was riot cattily obtained. It would scarrtly be accepted as true that In the course of a night of feast ing, dancing and story telling the average Indian will consume from ten to fifteen pounds of meat, and if he hat an abundance of food and can make his own : -election cf the parts to be eaten he v. ill swallow without Inconvenience not less than twenty pottn-i? cf r.'.vri In d slnt!e night. Car loids of 'nr.:-.:! rr.fits are consumed by the ovi-rfH Sioux In dians, end sor:eca:i:. - .I foo.'s l-.r.ve become almost as sancd a c:s.i with the rod men ?.s th fit. r(y.r y'r-w cf old for which the Siot::: trlt;o is fam ous. Among the srietiea of canned goods eaten to exec:."., tin oyster holds first place. A hungry Indian will eat half a dozen cans and drink the liquor. Besides the harm done by eating excessive amounts of fool, the fact that It Is not properly prepared makes It the more( injurious. There Is no variety of style about Sioux Indian cookery, no French methods, no necessity for stimulating appetites already overkeen. A pot full of meat and water is put on the fire by the squaw and al ?wed to heat, but there Is no defl--"9 time for the meal to cook and "m joint in the cooking process when " !:i done. The dinner Is ready en ever her lord cornea In and mts about being hungry. If the Indian is especially hungry he may begin on the contents of the kettle by the time the meat Is fairly warm. There is never any fault find ing about the way in which the meat Is prepared, and whether It is half raw or done to rags, no objection Is made by the head of the family. The Indian knows the choicest tid bits of every animal and how to cook them. The hunt at this time of the year gives the Sioux Indian the full est enjoyment of his appetite, and during the next three months the average buck will devour enough meat to satisfy four ordinary men. Condiments are in great demand by the Indians, and the Sioux In diana probably consume more black and red pepper per capita than any other people In the United States. Their former favorite condiment was the gall of an elk. The Sioux Indians are responsible for the reputation which nearly all tribes have of eating dog meat, but there are few other tribes which ever erred dog meat, even at the feast of Important ceremonies. The Chey ennes, Shoshones and Arapahoes, contrary to reports, never touch dog meat. To remedy the gluttony of the In dians and prevent them eating them selves to death, the Indian Bureau la trying to make good housekeepers of the Indian girls. Ten times as much wheat flour is used by the Bloux today as fifteen years ago. It Is said by the agents that, where cereal and wheat flour are used by the Indians, there Is some hope of civilising them and curing them of gluttony. At the schools, among the first things In their course, the girls are taught to make bread. But these lessons have not reached the wig wam on the reservations to any marked degree. The Indian cares little for wheat bread anyway. Ce reals don't Interest him. Crocodile Worship. It was In the very ferocity and ter rlbleness of the crocodile that the lLyptlans found the Inspiration for the cult they devoted to him. They were mightily afraid of the monster, and therefore instituted in his hon or, the supposedly appeasing wor ship, as though they had satd, "Be good enough not to eat us up and we will build temples to you and bow down to you as to a god." The stud ents of early history have clearly proved that the earliest worships of every sort took the shape of offer!- u Intended to appease the elementary forces of nature, or the real er I ma in a ry. beings of whom men were afraid.

Haytl, the West Indian Inland, has been the scene of more massacres than any other place on earth. They began with the coin ins; of ColumbuM and the rab ble rout that followed him. In a few years Its 3,000,000 ot gentle, brown-skinned Inhabitants had perished utterly, exterminated by fire and sword and by forced lab or In tbe mines Nest the buccaneer seized tbe unhappy Island and wreaked vengeance on the Span lards. Presently came the French, and for a brief space there was some semblance of peace.. But in 1793 the negroes revolted and murdered practically ail the whites. On ac count of these atrocities, frightful reprisals took place when France, In due eourse, reconquered the Island. But the negroes bided their time, and presently rose again under a ruf fian named Dessellmes. This time they did the thing thoroughly. Not only were all the Europeans put to death, but all bavin any admixture f white Wood, la their veins, suffer ed a like fate. In all It Is com puted that 5,000,000 men, women and children have met with violent deaths on this island of massacres slnoe the Intruding white man first set foot oa Its palm-fringed strand.

KNEW WHEN KE WAS HAPPY. The soul of an editor who had died rf starvation was being con ducted to the Klysian fields. As they passed the portals of the in fernal regions, he asked his guide if he might not go in and look a round. The guide consented, but warned him to stay but a few minutes, as he could not wait long. A long time passed, and the editor had not returned; so the guiding angel went in search of him. He found him before a cage in which a number of doomed wretches were being toasted on red-hot griddles. Over the cage was the sign "Delinquent Subscribers." "Come," said the guide; "we must be going." "Don't wait for me," replied the editor. "I'm not coming. This is Heaven enough for me!" November Lippincotfs. A Great Novel In the November Lip pincott's. It is doubtful if the development of any of our younger writers has been watched with keener interest, or by a greater number of people, than has that of Will Levington Comfort during the pist few years. Mr. Comfort is no literary miniature-painter, but gets his effects with bold strokes. Yet while some of his passages are almost brutal in their strength, their intensity, and their vividness, he can, when he deems it desirable, depict tender ness and love with wonderful deli cacy and depth of feeling. Many who know him, and many more who know him only by his work, have prophesied great things for him, and they will surely be deeply interested in his latest novel. "Th Viper," which is published com plete in tne .November l.tppineotfs. He has chosen for his theme the struecle of two countrv vouths who come to a city of the Middle West, to bulla up their fortunes. Bosom friends at the start, they soon separate, owing to marked differences in character and teuiper ment. Both love the same girl, an this foundation the author has builded a dramatic and forceful narrative, which is pretty certain to rivet the attention of the mast blase reader. In the course of the story interestine side-liehts ar thrown on the shady methods of some promoters ot suburban real estate schemes, and it is to be hop ed that they will serve as a warning to those contemplating such an in vestment without thorough investi gation. Will levington Comfort is still a vou lie: man. and as hia fir. tion has shown constant i in Drove. ment, it is nicely that he will do even better work than "The Virv er;" but it is safe to s;iy that he has not done it yet. In addition to the complete novel the November Uppincott's contains the ' usual complement of clever short stories, speciel articles, and poems, with the sixteen page hu morous department, "Walnuts and Wine," to top off with. It is a waste of effort to try to heat one's house with hot air, A little less talk and a little more time at the wood pile. Bought, and which has been has borne the signature of Signature of OUT OF THE GINGER JAR. l'ut the lid on that t.cik of trouble. Whiskey straight makes a man crooked. As the mind is bent so is the t jngue inclined. Some people never run into debt: they jump iulo it. Don't expect' to find your field of labor full of shade trees. Many a man's dog can give him lessons in fidelity and integrity. He who abandons the farm will find too late that good fortune has abandoned him. A girl whp can manage to get three engagement rings must have a circus of her own. Some women never put checks to there purchases. They leave that for their husbands. Why is a pig in a parlor like a house on fire? Because the sooner it is put out the better. Landlady: "What's the matter with that pie?" Boarder:"It isn't fit for a pig, and I'm not going to eat it." A naughty man says that a woman has about the same feeling for logic in an argument as for cockroaches in the kitchtu. Yes, Abram, one can rtadily af ford to get married on an income of $12 a week, if he will agree to turn it over to his wife every wejk. The man who sits down to wait for fortune, too lute finds that the fickle creature went around the other way with a more masterful man. Don't give your boy a knife un less he will first promise not to swap. Swapping leads to cheating, and that is bad for the boy and worse for him when he grows up. Teacher: "You have named all domestic animals save one. It has bristly hair, it is grimy, likes dirt and is fond of mud. Well. Tom?" Tom (shamefacedly): "That's me."
