The youth makes a display of arrow shooting, in which he has been assiduously trained.

When grown to I a goo, the boaster, made a bow for the lad, and with it Hiawatha brought low his first deer. The youngster who portrays the young Hiawatha proved to be an excellent shot w Ith such archaic .Instruments as a bow and arrow. The next scene shows Hiawatha to have rome to manhood. He has returned from his initial journey and ho has seen the dark-eyemaiden of the West.

Hiawatha lends a deaf ear to the teachings of old Nokomis, who the wedding of a maiden of his tribe. He wooes Minnehaha, which character was played with a native charm and modesty which fulfilled the exacting demands of the part One of the most interesting and spectacular of the scenes Is naturally that depicting the wedding. In this scene there are numerous dances; the der dance, which foretells a life of peace for the wedded pair; the snake dance, which is to appease the evil spirits, which is performed by the gambling dance, In which the latter is also the chief figure. Following is a missionary scene. As the dances ' are being concluded, s bitch-barcanoe appears from behind one of the Islands, whereupon a score of Indians hurry to the shore to give the white missionary welcome Hiawatha listens to the white mans speech, his vision having come true, and the departure of the hero is the fitting climax to the drama.

So it was arranged, and the following summer, 1900, the daughters of the poet, when they visited the Indian camping grounds on the shores of Itke Huron, were treated to the play performed by Indian actors. On this occasion the amateur actors and about seventy-five- , numbered were carefully chosen from the Shing-wauband of the Ojibways, who reside on the Oarden River Reserve, twenty miles southeast of Sault Ste. Marie, in the province of Ontario. It Is well known that Ingfellow heard the original legend of Hiawatha from his friend, Schoolcraft, the historian, into the Ojibways. who married There appears to be some doubt whether Longfellow ever visited the country himself, although the aged ni always mainChief tained that the poet visited him, and that he related the legend to him. However that may be, it has been generally conceded that Longfellow wrote of the scenery with marvelous accuracy, and also that his Indian names and words were wonderfully correct, doubly to be marveled at if be had never had the advantage of a visit to the scene. .This, however, is k Buk-wuJ-ji-- the a digression. choking . its onrushing tide of bus!- ud clouding the sky with the i of Industrial fires. human desire for gain r account for some of the Interest o to the play by the Indians, li evidently a deeper Incentive ocsible for their sppearance In with . The drama, which has been annually acted since the visit of Longfellow's daughters, usually between July and September of each year.

Heirdick is back in the Drowns outfield, r placing Hulseman, who has proyen a frost as a hitter. Catcher Demis is out of the game with an injured hand. He banged against the granti stand in going for a foul. No one was better pleased at Lushs return to batting than the Cleveland players, for he is popular with all the Jes-- men.

Express trains at their fastest, motor cars defying the iaw, cannot compare, in respect of speed, with the doings of some birds. It Is impossible to say how fast the frigate bird could fly if put on Its mettle. It has been tinted to do 100 miles an boor In calm air, but Its velocity setms to depend ujsin Its own Inclination rather than bn any limit to its powers. Among wild fowl, tho mallard covers from forty-livto fifty miles an hour, the pintail from fifty to sixty miles In an hour, the widgeon from sixty five to seventy-fivmiles, the gad wall from sixty to seventy miles, the pochard from eighty to ninety mile, the teal from eighty to loo miles. Tho common swift can fly at the rate of ninety miles an hour, clearly proving a pood title to its name. Of game birds, the speed of the pheasant Is thirty-eigh- t miles an hour, and that of the paitrldgo thirty two mih s.
