Anthony Comstock, at a luncheon In
New York, said of certain tabooed
books and plays:
"The motive of these works was
perhaps all right ' But the expression,
the form, was bad. And that spoiled
the motive completely.
"Expression form, you know. Is ev
erything. Consider how the lack of
it Bpoiled the mason's speech.'
"A mason at a memorial service said
of a bricklayer who had been acci
dentally killed:
" 'Yes, gents, I looked out once on
the beauties of nature, and all was
ca'm. Our friend, deceased here, was
layin' a brick. I looked out once
again, and still qil was ca'm, but our
friend, deceased, was no more. He
was layin' a corpse.' " Washington

i In planning your reading for the
long winter months, it is a good thing
to have some definite idea in mind
some particular line along which you
would like to add to your store of In
formation. It may be history, biogra

that you would like to know more
about animals, or bug or birds. If
you take pains to plan your course of
reading carefully, you may In a few
months' spare time accomplish a great
deal.
Suppose for example, that you are
principally Interested in birds. There
are enough books, magazines and oth
er literature devoted to these pretty,
feathered friends so that it will be
easy to find material for the whole
winter's work on this one subject
Of course you should make notes as
you go along. In this way you can
save for future reference any scraps
of Information that you may glean
from the sources at your command,
and you will find, in a short time, that
you have accumulated a vast fund
of definite knowledge on the subject
For convenience you may divide
your notebook into several sections,
under such headings as follows:
1. Classes of birds., 2. Their nests
and nesting-places. 3. Their habits
and food. 4. Description and classifi
cation of common birds. 5. Birds
that are rare or extinct 6. Miscel
laneous notes and anecdotes.
Any subject may be divided in a
similar style. By following some
such methods one is enabled to put
knowledge Into definite shape, which
helps one to remember and make use
of vastly more than when it is left
a mere Jumble of odds and ends.

Little Willie Hinson, a sixteen-year-old

found a gold watch and fob, lost by
Miss Alice Barnes Shaffer, and with
out consulting anybody raced as fast
as his legs would carry him to the
Classon avenue station house and
there deposited his find with the lieu
tenant on the desk, saying: "Will you
see that this gets to the lady what
lost it?" .
Were It not for the fact that Mrs.
Jessie F. Barnes Schaffer, mother, of
the young woman who dropped her
watch and fob, had advertised her loss

avenue, the home of Mrs. Schaffer,
with the news: "Lady, I found your
watch at Lafayette and Classon ave
nues, and I gave It in at the station
house." , A phone call to police head
quarters confirmed what Willie had
said. . .
Mrs. Schaffer gave the boy a sub-.

"It is not the trouble for which I

STRANGEST of all the Indian
dances are those that take place
in secret lodges under ground.
No outsider Is ever permitted to
witness these and their charac
ter can only be surmised from the
dances that take place in the plazas.
Dr. Herbert J. Spinden, of the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History, has
recently returned from a four months'
sojourn among the Pueblo Indians of
the Upper Rio Grande. He was espe
cially interested in the Tewa Indians,
as his studies on this trip were almost
wholly ethnological, and the rich myth
ology of the Tewas offered him a mine
of material.
Not All War Dances.
"Most persons think of those dances
of the Indians which were really war
dances as being the only ones which
were practised," said Dr. Spinden. "As
a matter of fact there are numerous
dances, extremely interesting and very
old, in which women as well as men
participate and which have nothing to
do with warfare. Few of these are
wholly social, although some of them
have that element Practically all of
them have a religious origin and to
day retain a religious significance.
"The Tewas are a simple,, agricul
tural people and their homes are doubt
less the oldest of any In the United
States.
"When the Spanish came they con
verted the Indians to the Roman Cath
olic religion, and nominally these- In
dians are still Catholics." i
But while many of the Tewas . re
tain many of the beliefs and ceremo
nies of the Catholic religion, they com
bine with them many of the myths
and observances of the religion that
antedated their acceptance of the
Christian. It was because of the early
opposition of thu Cothcllc priests to
this adherence to the old rites and cus
toms that the people sought secret
places under ground In which to prac
tice them. And, although the neces
sity for the secrecy has passed,, they
still hold these secret meetings, have
danceB that no white man has ever
seen and keep up other traditions with
a constancy and seclusion incompre
hensible to men of a different race.
Some white men say they have pen
etrated to these underground lodges
and have seen what was done there,
but Dr. Spinden does not believe that
they have ever been present at the
jarefully guarded ceremonies. The
most that they have done is to see the
vacant room or perhaps some dance of
no great significance. So cautious are
they that when thoro is to be one of
these Important conclaves at one of
the villages an Indian Is sent with a
roll of cloth to cover the windows and
doors of the house In which the teach
er, who Is much loved and respected,
lives In order that she may not see
anything that goes cn. Of course she
Is not permitted to go out of the house.
Formerly eome one was left on guard,
but they trust her pow sufficiently to
content themselves with fastening up
her house. Any stranger who was In
the neighborhood would bo Jealously
watched lent he should get any Inkling
of what went on In the underground
room. i
These lodges always contain an al
tar, and although most of them seem
to have no connection with the out
side world except the obscure en
trance, they have a splendid system of
ventilation. The participant In these
underground dances are always
masked.
. , While the American (whom they call
the red neck, not the white man, by
the way) may not penetrate to the un
derground chambers and witness the
most sacred dances, he may see in the
plaza dances of great variety and in
terest, deeply significant, each one a
little drama In itself. The Tewas, be
ing an agricultural people and depend
ing largely upon the amount of rain
that falls in a given time for the suc
cess or failure of their crops, put their
heart and their skill into the dances
which they perform In the hope of
drawing the beneflclent moisture of
the heavens down, to earth. One of
the dances takes Its name, tabllta,
from the curiously shaped "little tab
lets" which the women dancers wear
on their heads. -
These tower high above the straight
hanging black locks of hair, tbe ends
being tipped with soft feathers simu
lating clouds. The men wear very lit
tle clothing, the women appearing In
the customary black dress, sometimes
ornamented with some bright bead
work or embroidery. The dancers
scarcely lift their feet from the ground,
but keep them moving rhythmically
In time to the music. 'The most of the
motion Is confined to the knees, hands
and arms. In their hands they hold
fruits, leaves or flowers, a' favorite
branch being that of the sacred pine,
which Is reputed to have grown In
the underground world.
There are many dances represent
ing animals, that of the eagle being es
pecially - dramatic. The man who Is
to take the part of the eagle is won
derfully made up.
. Over the head Is drawn a sort of
sack of black cloth that covers the
hair and Is pulled forward to form a
beak.. A red line running around the
mouth and curling up on each cheek
gives the mouth of the eagle. On the
body there is little clothing except a
short apron and patches of eagle down
attached by a gum to the flesh. The
arms are made Into wings by means of
a cord strung with long hanging feath
ers stretched from hand to hand across
the back and a bunch of feathers at
the back make a tall. His hands are
painted yellow to look like claws. He
Is lured forth by the dropping of corn,
and as he follows this trail he uses
his arms as the eagle does his wings,
and with his entire body he sweeps
and moves like the bird he Is pictur
ing, but always In time to the wubIc.
In another dance a man represents
a dog. He Is made up to look as
much like one as possible, a'nd Is led
forth by an Indian maiden who has tied
her aash about the body and leads him
forth as a woman does her poodle on
a leash, except that they are both
keeping time to the steps of the dance.

mountable obstacle," said she. .
"How so?"
