, THE DECISION OF DEATH
T^O\V, when the Manitou created the
Red Man to rule over the world he
created him in his own image and
made him walk upright with his eyes
to the sky—and he was not forced to
watch his feet, as were the beasts.
But when the Red Man was created
and had lived for years In the peace- j
ful valley the Manltcu found that lie
was too strong and too brave and that ;
he had been created too much In the '
Image of the Maker of us all. So he
decided that It would not do for the
Red Man to live too long, else he
would become as wise and as great as
Maultou himself.
} So one day the Manitou appeared
to his daughter, the mother of the
Red Man, and to her he told his fear*.
And ns n remedy he suggested that
the Red Man he allowed to live only '
for an allotted span of years, and
that then he he supplanted by Ids
children and his children's children
until time ended.
But first lie thought lie would give
the Red Sian a chance to determine
how he was to live. And so, in com-
pany with his daughter he went to the
valley, where lived the Chosen People, !
and he called forth the wisest arid old- J
est chief of them all to be the judge.
In Ids one hand he took a buffalo j
chip and In the other a stone and
with the chief and Ids daughter he
went to the bank of the stream to make
the test.
First he tossed the buffalo chip into j
the stream and the chip floated for
awhile until It struck the rapids uqd
then it submerged for a little way
and again it floated and again it sub- !
merged, until finally it disappeared ■
from sight around n bend la the i
stream.
Aui! so the Manitou ruled that t'm
Red Man should live for four y s
and then die and remain dead fo- our
years, following which he wou'd again
come to life for a similar period. And
the old chief was pleased and accepted
the ruling.
But the daughter of Manitou. the
mother of all the Red Men, was not
pleased and pleaded with her fntlier

that some other urrnngement might
be made. Ami the Manitou. who loved
his daughter dearly, listened to her
pleading and agreed that there should
.be one more test made and that the
result of that test should stand for-
ever, mid the method of the test he left
to his daughter.
She, seeing that the Manitou had
not yet thrown the stone, and thinking
that perhaps the stone had some magic
unknown except to the Maker of us all
suggested that he throw the stone In
the water.
The Manitou, taking her at her
'word, tossed the stone far out Into .‘lie
stream, and It fell with a splash Into
the water and sank out of sight. And
thus was the fate of the Red Men de-
cided.
The Manitou ruled that each Red
Man should live In the valley an al-
lotted span of yenrs. and that then he
should die and his body should perish
from the earth and should never more
come to life In the valley.
! But In order that the Red Men
should not be hopeless and forlorn lie
promised that those of them who kept
the faith and prnised the Manitou and
;hls good work should live again In the
happy hunting ground above the Peak,
■where there would be no death and
where there would be no war and no
trouble. And so the ruling stood. The
Red Men were made mortal, to die
when their time came, but knowing
of the promise of Manitou they felt no
:fear of death. And so It is today. We
all must die. hut living well, we live
again In that great hunting ground,
where all is happiness and peara.
Note.—This legend hears a marked
similarity to a legend of Death told by
the Blackfeet and credited to Nahl, the
semi-human God of earth, who, ac-
cording to the Blackfeet, is a second-
ary god to Manitou himself, flrlnnell
In his "Blaokfoot Legends" has quoted
this story, although no mention Is made
of the after-life find the test Is made
In n distinctly different insnner.

THE LEGEND OF
CAMERON’S CONE
T IKE those of us of little faith who
" followed through the years, the
Chosen Race was brave when smiled
the Maultou. and laughed and played
with happy hearts. But when he hid
his fuce ualong the mists, and sent no
word unto his people, they waxed
afraid nor dared to chase the deer nor
plant the maize up'll the clouds were
parted and his face smiled forth again.
For they were small of faith and knew
not how to do their work unless they
could soe before them on tile Peak the
face of Manitou.
So they sent an embassy unto him
to pray that ever they might have his
face In view, unhid by mists or clouds
—by day resplendont in the golden
light of the creative sun. at night
bathed in the radiance of the silvery
moon.
Four ancient chieftains, hold of
heart and purified by fasts and holy !
rites, they chose to take the message
up the mount that rose to heaven's j
gate. But Manitou was wroth when j
he beheld this ancient four who dared I
to tread upon the image of Ills face, j
And anger seized him when he saw j
how small the faith they held in his
good works; and in ids heart a mighty
anger rose, and clouds turned black,
and storms came down the Peak, and
in Ids anger he seized upon the than,
derbolls and hurled them toward the
earth.
In deepest darkness all the land was
wrapped save where the flames ran
down the mountainside. Terrific
winds were loosed to do their harm,
and scourged the trembling plains
with blinding dUMta. The lain fell
through tin* darkness and a grievous
1 all fell on man and liens!. And with ;
gigantic sounds the bills were rent in
twain, while the Chosen People hid
themselves in the valleys and the
canyons to escape the rage of Manitou
For four days the mount was hid
from human eyes. At last the storm
was spent. The Manitou seized arid
hound the winds, and nil the thunder- ,
bolts were ltdd away, the sun came
out once more and through the clouds 1
the distant summit of the sacred
mountain was hatlied in light and sun-
shine once again. But those who
j looked were stricken dumb with fear.
The summit of the mighty peak was
gone!
i The Manitou. so the fathers say, had
| In his wrath snatched up the mighty
peak, and breaking off its summit,
cast it down the slope upon the heads
j of the ancient chieftains there, bury-
ing them In rock and earth where they
stood, half way 'twlxt summit and
the plains below. Ami as it fell it
formed another mountain not nearly
so high as the sacred mount, hut black
. with fire and rain. Twisted and torn
j It lay there where it fell, hurled from
the hand of Manitou himself as putt-
\ Islipient to those of little faith who
sought to climb from earth to heaven
that they might make their wishes
known to him who was their father.
As for the peak which once hud led
to heaven—mi longer tall and stately
did it show, hut tora and twisted,
blackened by fire, its nigged sides im-
possible lo climb. No longer could
the Chosen People look up and see
the face of Manitou. lull only ii moun-
tain. vnst In Its grenrness, stretching
Its head to heaven, but falling short
of that great goal. And since that
| time the Manitou, still in the heavens,
sees no more of earthly things. No
j longer can his people, in their faith,
eliinh the peuk to talk with him, hut
each must wait Ills turn to puss be-
yond the plains Into the happy hunt-
ing ground above.
The peak Is there, pointing the way
to heaven, hut shutting off ail hope
of climbing to the hunting ground
above.

Mahogany Leads Among Woods.
Among cabinetmakers and users of
furniture, mahogany is easily the most
favored wood. It lias beauty of sur-
face, it is easily carved and It Is not
swftjert fb changes In fashion. ANn It
Is adaptable to any nriicle of furni-
ture.
Tradition lias It that mahngnny'a dis-
covery was quite accidental. A car-
penter In Sir Walter Raleigh’s shop
In 1595 saw some of the wood, experi-
mented with It. and convinced of its
value, made use of It. Mahogany Is
found extensively in Africa, hut the
greater quantity used In the United
States cornea from Cuba. Mexico and
Central America.
