children if the earth - and the world
was a world of smiehMs; and birds
sang the jear through, tbe fruit grew
on the trees and fishes filled the
streams and everywhere was happi
ness and prosperity.
Jn these days there were no wars
snd no peetllesce; no hatri and no
envy. Rut everywhere tbe redrnen
ruled in, Joy, and hunted and fHhed
ss thy pleated ami there was no
work to be done and no fields to be
cultivated and no meat to be dried,
for In those days the corn ripened
throughout the year, and buffalo were
plentiful at all time, and fresh meat
gSBtd be tiad for the asking.
But by and by evil spirits came
among tbe people, and they told tale
of wickedness. They laughed at the
Manitou and defied his power and
they ealled Mm "Old Woman" and
laughed at his kindness. These evil
spirit Influenced the Indians, and the
Indians, too. made fun of the Mani
tou, and they defied him to punish
them and de'lared that he had lost
his power and that they no longe1
need w orship him.
At length the Manitou became angry
snd sorry: snd he called a council of
tne chiefs snd told them that his heart
was sore, and asked that they one-e
more accept his rule and give him
their worship. Rut they only laughed
and so the Manitou eie-iared that he
woul'l remove the mm front the heav
en as murk of his power.
Ry and by the s in began slowly to
change its route, and each day It be
ci iij l(s and lend In the heaven, and
the tribe. men were much afraid. Cold
wlri'ls swept the earth, and snow fell
snd the leaves on the trees 'lied and
fell to the ground, ami the streams

Impossible to fish. The buffalo ills
ppesred and the rabbits and the
bears were unsble to come out on ac
count of tl, great snow. e
Among the Indians sickness pre
vailed, and many elled anil great sor
ro was upon the land, until finally
two old chief! went out Into the snow
and climbed many miles to the top of 2
a greel mountain and there they S
prayed the Manitou that he should 9
give Ihern aid. ami make his face to
shine otoe mor upon the world.
The Manitou heard their prayer anri
was moved, and slowly he sent the
sun bach upon Its course, unci once
tnor thp grass was green, and the
streams sang, and tbe birds returned
0 their homes And tbe Indians who
wi-re sick and starved and hunirry re
gnlneel their strength and their health r
ami the world was happy once more y

far of tbe Manitou.
Hut when the summer time hao
' ernne, then the Manitou appeared to
tbe tribesmen and hed council with
them, and he said to them:
"Von have doubted my power. Yon
have scoffed my strength Von have
Overlooked my kindness And so huve
j I punished you. From this time forth,
each year, will I withdraw mv face
for a period: and the land will become

"So most you prepare yoiirselvs
and work unci labor tbut eluiing the
long period of winter your lodges

Shall have plenty of fuel."
When he had said this the Manitou
diss ppsa red in a dead. And from that
time on the winter hss come each
year, with Its cold snd Its desolation
Bach year the tribesmen know that
i It is a warning to then of the power
