Chief Tells
: Story of the
Four Winds
Br fleorgeoe Fastener
THE March wind was shaking the
. trees of the forest and flapping
, against the great akin that hung aa the
i door of the wigwam, making the fire
ipuff and blow out Into the room. "The
' bear la atlll growling." aald the old
- Iroquois chief, "but he will aoon have
to go back to the northland."
"Tell ua the tale, mighty chief."
begged a email Indian boy.
The old chief drew his robes more
tightly about hla tall body and began.
"Long, long ago, in the time of the
strong onea. Oaoh, the mighty master
of the winds, dwelt in hla lodge in the
western sky. He waa so strong and
fierce that had he wandered across tne
j blue pastures of the sky he would have
torn the world to pieces. So he stayed
In his lodge In the western sky, and,
blowing a loud blast, he called to all of
the creatures of the earth to come and
heln him.
"And when he called his voice was so
loud that the echoes sounded like thun
der. When the echoes had rolled away
Gaoh went to the north tloor of his
lodge and opened it and Immediately
.the thick snow fell, like a white blanket,
, and a fierce wind shook the lodge.
And, lo! there came lumbering up the
bulky bear, Yaogah.
'Orr'-rr-rr ! Grr-rr-rr!' growled the
bear. "What do you wish me to do.
, mighty Father Gaoh? Orr-rr-rr!
Grr-rr-rr !"
, 'Oh, bear, you are strong,' said
. Gaoh. 'You can bring the white enow
and carry the mad tempest. When you
I blow your cold breath you can freeze
I tha water'and turn it into ice. You can
clasp tha whole earth in your grasp
when I bid you destroy. Therefore, you
. an&u live in ine iiuriiiitinn ana waicn
my herd of winter winds when I turn
'them loose upon the earth. You snail
'be the mighty north wind. Enter your
House.
"Next Gaoh blew a shrill blast and
the echoes came back with a shrill
, sound, and when the echoes died away
r Gaoh opened the west door of his lodge
and summoned the creatures. Clouds
- began to pass across the sky, and dark
ness came like a great black blanket
over all the earthy Strange voices
hrleked and snarled and muttered about
"the lodge. And with a noise like the
clawing and tearing apart of the
heavens, the ugly panther. Dajoji,
. sprang to the .west door. 'Mlaow-ow-ow!
I 'Mlaow-ow-ow-ow ! Mlaow-ow-ow! Mla
' ow-ow-ow ! Mlaw-ow-ow! moaned th6
panther like a great cat. And it fell
upon its haunche at the feet of the
i great Gaoh, lashing its tall from aide
to side, grinned at Gaoh and said with
a snarl, 'What do you wish me to do,
' nlrhlv IK.,.
,
".'Oh, panther, you are ugly and
fierce,' said Gaoh. "You can tear down
... tha forests and break the branches of
l.tha trees. You can carry the whirlwind
' cm .your pack. You can toss the waves
" Of the sea high into the air. and you can
nart at .the temptests If they stray
i from my door. You shall be ti e west
t Wind. Enter your house.'
The panther snarled and snarled as
i ;. he bent In obedience to the great Gaoh,
; but ha did not dare to disobey, and so
j ha bowed his head and purred, "Prr-prr-'
prr-rr-rjr-rrr,' as much as to say, 'I
am gladto obey the great Gaoh.' Then
Gaoh found. the panther with a leash
and placed him In the western Bky.
' i A cold rain fell from the sky and a
! heavy mist like a great gray blanket
-came over the earth. There came a
crackling sound like the noise of great
horns crashing against the forest trees,
and the earth trembled as Oyandone,
tha mighty moose, stood stamping his
hoofs at the east door of the lodge.
'Oh, mighty moose,' said Gaoh, 'your
cold breath blows the gray mist and
sends the cold rain splashing down upon
tha earth. With your heavy horns
spread wide you can push back the trees
Of tha forest and break the branches
and widen the paths for my storms.
You are fleet of foot and you can race
mith the winds. You shall be the east
wind. Enter your house."
"But there was still one door more to
open, ao; Gaoh threw it wide open to the
aouth and he called to all the creatures
In gentle tones like the sweetened mu
slo and the echoes answered his calls.
And when the echoes had died away
Gaoh heard the soft voices of the
creatures.
A carresslng breeze stole through
tha lodge and with it came the fra
grance of aweet flowers, the soft prat
tling of babbling brooks and the voices
Of tha birds trilling their love songs
and whispering secrets of summer. And
daintily lifting her feet, lest she tread
on aome bright blossom, ran Neoga, the
brown-eyed fawn and stood timidly
waiting at the south) door of Gaoh's
lodge, and said softly, 'What do you
wish of me, mighty father?"
, . ," Oh, gentle, graceful fawn," said
Gaoh, you walk with the summer sun
and know Us most beautiful paths. You
are kind like the smiling sunbeam and
-. you feed upon the dew and fragrance.
You will rule my flock of summer
breeses In peace and joy, and all the
red children will welcome your coming.
You shall be the south wind. Enter
your house.'
' "Today the north wind blows loudlv.
and that la why I said the bear was
growling, and when you hear the voice
of tha weat wind snarling around the
wigwam you will hear me say. The
panther is whining.' By and by the
east Wind will bring the cold, rains to
wash tha earth, and then when I see
the - mlat I ahall say, "The moose is
spreading hla breath.' But when the
' south , wind comes and brings the sweet
fragrance of the flowers then I shall
rlO out Into the warm sunshine and
aay, The fawn is coming home to her
mother, the doe.
"Oh, mighty chief, thank you for the
story;!' aaid the Indian boy. "The bear
has been here so long we will all be
glad to welcome the fawn back to her
mother."
III a Crowd
"Tell us (he tale, m ighty chief," one urged.

THE congressional party brought hack
many stories from the fighting
fronts in France.
"At a camp fcr German prisoners be
hind the British lines," said a member
of the party in Washington, "a detail
was called out for some ditch digging.
None of the British guards could speak
German,' and none of the Germans
seemed to be able to understand a word
of English.
"Under the circumstances it was dif
ficult to give orders, and the Tonr.mies'
had a terrible time showing the pris
oners what they wanted done. For this
reason they drove the niggers a little
harder, perhaps, than the union rules
allow. '
"Finally, one big German, his face
aglow with perspiration, dropped his
shovel, straightened up painfully and
said in a tone of genuine disgust :
' 'Ach ! Why in h 1 did I ever leave
Baltimore !' "

Another Atrocity
Little Ruth, who had been reading
about the German atrocities In Bel

Meseum of Arts.
"Oh, mother," she cried, standing in
front of Venu3 de Milo. ' Look what the
Germans did to this poor Belgian
woman."
Ways and Means
The C. O. of a certain battalion ap

put in for the job. "Do you understand
all about horses and how to keep har
ness clean?" inquired the C. O.
"Yes, sir," wai Paddy's reply ; "what
I don't know about horses is not worth
knowing."
Accordingly, at 2 p. m. that day Pad
dy was ordered to saddle the C. O.'s
horse, which he did, putting the saddle
on the wrong way round. The colonel
appeared, glared at Paddy and snapped :
Don t you see, you fool, that the
saddle is the wrong way round?"
'Yes, sir," replied Paddy, "but why
did you not tell me which way you were
goin'?"
Off for a Trip
An absent-minded bishop could not
find his ticket after he had t iken a
seat in the train.
"Never mind," said the ticket col
lector. "It will do just as well at the
next Btatljn."
But at the next station the bishoD
still could not find the ticket.
"Never mind," said he collector
again ; "it's all right whether you find
it or not."
"No, it Isn't." said the bishop, turnine
all his pockets out in his anxiety, "for
I want to lind out where Pm going."

While his mother was away on a

Upon mother's return there was a reckoning.
"Why didn't you say your Dravers.

1XHY are people so rude In daily life?
Perhaps women are becoming as
rude as men now that they are taking
over men's work. Such conflicts as go
on in our streets are amazing.
I was in a trolley car; the vehicle
waa slowing up preparatory to stopping.
As it moved a fierce crowd of people
moved with it and whenever it showed a
sign of stopping the crowd hurled itself
upon it with an abandonment of
desperaUon such aa can only have been
equaled by the Hun hordes at Verdun.
Heavens, I thought, what are we going
to ao? To go back was impossible ;
other people were trying to get out
back of us yet whenever we tried to get
forward the incoming rush pushed us
back. It was a struggle of men, women
and children all striving to get in or
out without the slightest consideration
for each other.
"-
The excuse that people fight to get on
the cars because they must not be late
for their various offices cannot be the
real reason, because Sundays and holi
days, when surely there are no offices
to get to, the fighting is as fierce as
ever. Who can explain these exhibl
tlons of hooliganism? I have come to
the conclusion that the cauBe Is
pathological epidemic.
A French psychologist has explained
and expounded the maladies of crowds
which are, as you know, quite distinct
from the mental or physical maladies
of Individuals. Panic Is the Btock in
stance. A crowd may lose its collective
head, so to speak, and sweep away all
separate controls and self-consciousness
In the individual. At such moments the
Individual loses himself in the crowd.
He moves, he knows not why. He fights,
he knows not whom. On recovery, he
asks himself "Where was I?" "What
was I?" "How came I to forget my-
self?" "What was I doing?" Let me
give you an instance to reveal my mean
ing.
I was with a dignified old lady a few
weeks ago. Our object was to hear a
war talk at Carnegie hall In New York.
We took the subway. There was no
hurry. We were In good time. If the
first' train was full we could wait for
the next, and so she agreed. And so she
acted till a moment later , she caught
sight of a crowd of people waiting for
tickets at the office window. At that
sight, though calm, though matronly,
her nerve and self-respect seemed to
desert her.
Handing me her umbrella and seizing
her handbag with a "Here, take this,"
she hurled herself into the crowd and
emerged a few minutes later, fortified
with tickets. I had no time or chance
to stop her. She did it on the impulse
of the moment for the love of the thing,
or because the soul of the crowd had
seized her and I must confess that i.
too, seeing her and seeing the crowd,
felt a similar fierceness, a like impulse
of savagery, sweep over me. Yes. I felt
strongly disposed to hurl myself into
the crowd for tickets.
Elemental nature asserts itself at such
moments and no one is really responsi
ble for their actions. The scenes of
strife that surge and beat about the
ordinary train or car in these days Is
not due to the shortage -? gasoline,
fewer public vehicles, fewer conductors
and fiercer ways nor is it to be laid to
the war conditions.
It had existed for all time. It Is the
primitive soul of the crowd seeking to
protect Its Interests at any cost.
Once you understand this, it is wise
to cultivate patience and self-control
enough to stand back and watch the
conflict, and be no part of it. You will
arrive at your destination, just as soon
without harm.
All Dressed Up
Young Bob was found by his father
sobbing in a corner.
"What's the matter, youngster?" he
asked.
"Why, pop," blubbered the boy, "I've
got a nickel, and there Isn't any slot
around here to drop It in."

designs are printed in several colors,
others only In. one that Is in strong

Bright green on white, butter color on

are all excellent combinations. Some
times the smock laces across the shoul

uniting the side seams. Soft sashes
of meteor or charmeuse form girdles

These lovely smocks are worn with

soft, light colored silk. They are
beautifully decorative. Odd little gar

Chinese embroidery and are worn with

More attention than usual is being
given this season to correct corseting

sports coats of taffetas and satin in in

ruchettes pinked at the edges. Corded

Taking fashions by and large, it is
safe to predict that sports clothes will
