He Looked t n The Wine.
A Boston minister says that not
long ago he was dining with a
friend. Another gtest present was
a young nten from Kentucky, and
the minister was much pleased by
the youth's somewhat diffident, yet
self-possessed manner. He also
noted that the young man had left
his wine untouched.
"Don't you drink wine, Mr. Clay
ton?" the charming danghter of the
host asked, lifting her own glass and
smiling across at the young man.
"No, I never do," he replied,
blushing.
"Oh, but I am sure you will this
time Just one glass with me?"
she Insisted.
"No, thank you," was the resolute
reply, nnd the minister looked upon
him with growing ndmlratlon. The
young lady very nearly achieved a
pout.
"You won't, then?" she asked.
"No," was the firm reply, though
the blush of embnrrassment deepen
ed on his cheek. "I never drink
wine," he added, "but If er you
have got n little old Bourbon. I

Agricultural College, Amherst. Mass.:
"At the present time we have
seven senior students who are tak
ing work In a course which I term
the 'Physiology and Pathology of
Shade Trees.' So far as I know,
this is the only course given In this
country or anywhere else, and we
are turning out quite a few young
men who are especially trained to
fill intelligently such positions as
city foresters or helpers In parks.
"Many of our men at the present
time have established -firms for tho
..care of trees, and all of them are
-meeting with remarkable success,
some of them employing as many
as 200 men. I started this course
10 years ago at the request of stu

the way In which it has developed."

"Candy boxes for tho holiday trade

said L E. Barry. "This is saying a
great deal, In view of the fact that
there has been a steady elaboration
of the candy packages.
"The practical and ornamental Is
being combined, however, In the se

package is one that can be used by
the ladles for a glove box or pin

Mythological Tales of an
American Indian Tribe
The Carnegie Institution, of Wash
ington, has issued a collection of
mythological tales gathered by Geo.
A. Dorsey, curutor of anthropology
In the Field Museum of Natural His
tory, from tho hereditary story tellers
of various bands of the Pawnee tribe.
These may be divided roughly Into
these classes tales which are be
lieved by the Indians to be true and
which especially concern the super
natural beings of the heavens; hero
tales which tho Indians believe mny
or may not be true, and "Coyote"
tales, none of which are supposed to
he true, but nearly all of which point
a moral. Here Is one which describes
a contest between a poor, boy and a
witch, In which the boy was victor
ious: "A young man wandered away
from his village. He came to another
village, and when he entered It he
was taken In by the chief of the tribe,
and Eyes-Wide-Open, a Coyote, came
and Invited the boy to eat with a
witch woman. The boy was told to
eat nothing that the witch might give
him, as It was all human flesh. The
boy went, and the witch offered him
something to eat, but the boy would
not eat. The witch said: 'My grand
child, I want to play a game with
you,' and the boy said: 'Tell me what
it is.- Perhaps I shall play with you.'
The old woman Bald: 'To-morrow I
should like you to go down to the
creek with me. We will both dive,
and whoever shall come up first from
the water shall be beaten.' The boy
said that he would dive with her. She
said: 'If you come up before I do,
then I take your life." The boy went
home and told the people. The nex.
day, early In the morning, Eyes-Wide-Open
came nnd told him that
the old woman was ready. The peo
ple all went down to the stream. The
boy and the old woman went Into the
water and waited until they were in
the middle of the stream and then
dived. In a few minutes the boy
came up. When the old woman
heard the shouting and calling by the
people she knew that he must be up,
and she came out of the water and
took the boy to her home and cut off
his head and placed It among the
skulls she had. She told Eyes-Wide-Open
to watch through the village
for some other young men.
"The boy had a brother at homo
who was the very image of the one
who was killed. He went o the vil
lage hunting for his brother. When
he arrived Eyes-Wide-Open invited
him to the lodge of tho old woman.
When the iioy entered he saw his
brother's head among the skulls. The
woman said: 'My grandson, I want
you to dive with me to-morrow, if
you come out first, you shall take my
(ifo and the lives of all my people.'
The boy then said: 'I am willing to
do this if the chief and his people
will be on my side.' The old woman
sent Eyes-Wide-Open to the chief and
asked him if he and his people would
be on the boy's side. The chief said
that he woi 'd.
"That night the boy asked the chief
where the old woman had her place
for the diving. The chief told the
boy where the place was. The chief
went home and left the boy at the
place. The boy then stood upon the
banks of the water and cried. A lit
tle beaver came up from the water
and asked the boy what he was cry
ing about. The boy said: 'I am cry

old woman. This woman has killed

water and said: 'My brother, follow
me, and then whatever I do, you do
also." The beaver dived into the
water. The boy followed, and he
soon found himself in the lodge of
the beavers. Then the beavers told
the boy that they had decided to take
pity upon him and were going to help
him kill this old woman. The beaver
then told the boy thnt when he
should dive he should select the place
on the west side, and as soon as he
dived he should swim up to the lodge
and enter It. There they would keep
him as long as the woman remained
under the water. The boy was thank
ful. The old beaver said to the
young beaver: 'Lie down while I cut
your leg off.' The young beaver lay
down and :iis leg waB cut off. It was
placed in a pot and boiled, and after
the meat was cooked they took It out
and fed the boy with the meat of the
leg of the beaver. When the boy ate
of the leg the old beaver took the
bone of the leg and threw It outside
of the lodge Into the water; then the
old beaver said to the young leaver:
'Oo and bring your leg back again.'
The young beaver went out, dived
inio tne water, and when It came I
back It had its leg on again. The
boy was told to go home and to be I
ready to dive with the witch the next
day. The old beaver then gave the '
young man blue mud with which he
was to daub himself all over. The
boy went home and went to bed.
"Early In the morning Eyes-Wide-
Open came and said: 'Young man, tho
old woman is ready to dive with you.'
Then Eycs-Wido-Open cried through
the village and told the people to go
down to the stream of water; that
the young man and the old woman
were going to dive. When they ar
rived at the water the boy selected
the west side and the old witch stood
on the east side. They walked down
to the water, waded in, and when
they reached the middle of the stream

Arabian homes are more apt to bh

white horses because they are more
conspicuous than darker animals. It

to the Shire and Clydesdale of Eng

and they have a springy walk.
This is due to the mixture of Arab

The biggest, finest and whitest

Vienna and Budapest the carriage
and coach horses are all big iron
grays, but the running horses are
generally sorrel or light bay, with an
occasional black. In Berlin the coach
teams are bay or brown; in France
the carriage hen-ses are bay and
hrown, but heavy coach and team
horses are gray. In England bay,
Mack and b-own predominate, ex

are, as everywhere, mostly light bay,
sorrel or chestnut.
The late Queen's great coach team
were eight gray creams with white
trimmings. In the army dark colors
are preferred for cavalry and artil
lery, as they are easier groomed and
less conspicuous in battle. There Is
no other so beautiful a carriage team
as white horses; the trouble, though,
Is to mate them, as no young horses
are ever white.

that the climate of Holland Is Just

In the fen district of Lincolnshire
there are many acres of land devoted
to the growing of narcissi, and so
successful has the Industry become
that several Dutch growers have paid
England the compliment of buying

The Patch Told The Tale.
A New KiiRlnnder recently had oc
casion to engage a gardener. One
morning two applicants appeared
one a decidedly decent-looking man
and the other of much less prepos
sessing appearance and manner.
After very little 1 hesitation the
man of the house chose the latter
applicant.
A friend who was present evinced
surprise at the selection, asking:
"Has that man worked for you be
fore?" "No," replied the other; "in fact,
I never saw either of them until
today."
"Then why did you choose the
shorter man? The other had a much
better face."
"Face!" exclaimed the proprietor
of the place, in disgust. "Let me tell
you that when you pick a gardener,
you want to go by his overalls. If
they're patched on the knees you
want him. If tho patch Is on the
seat of his trousers, you don't.

these Indians are the remnants of
