Money on Person—
Andrew Olsen, who committed

He left word that

no person of that name lives there.
created him In ids own Image end
made Mm walk upright with his eyes
to the sky—and he was n«*t forced to
watch Ills feet, as were tlie beasts.
But when the Bed Man was created
and Imd lived for years in tlie peace
ful valley th>- Manitou found that lie
was too strong ami too brave and that
he hud been created too much In the
linage of the Maker of us uli. So he
decided Jhat it would not do for the
Red Man to live loo long, else he
would become us wise and us great us
Manitou himself.
} So one day the Manitou appeared
to his daughter, the mother of the
Red Man, and to her he told his fears.
And ns a remedy he suggested that
the Red Man lie allowed to live only
for un allotted spun of years, nnd
that then lie 1« supplunted by Ids
children and Ills children's children
until time ended.
But first he thought lie would give
the Beil Man a chauee to determine
how he was to live. And so. In com
pany with his «laughter he went to the
valley, where lived the Chosen People,
and he called forth the wisest nnd old
est chief of them all to be the judge.
his one hand he took a buffalo
and In the other a stone and
the chief and his «laughter lie
went to the bank of the stream to make
the test.
First he tossed the buffalo chip into
the streum and the chin limited for
awhile until it struck the rapids and
then It submerged for a little wuy
and ngaln it floated and again it sale
merged, until finally It disappeared
from sight around a bend in the
stream.
And so the Manitou ruled that the
Ited Mun should live for four years
and then die and remain dead for four
years, following which he would again
come to life for a similar perlud. And
the old chief win pleased and m-cepted
the ruling.
But the daughter of Manitou, the
mother of all the Ited Men, was not
pleased nnd pleaded with her father
that some other arrangement might
be made. And the Manitou, wlio loved
bis daughter dearly, listened to her
pleading nnd agreed that there should
be one more test made nnd that tlie
result of that test should stand for
ever, and the method of the test he left
to his daughter.
She, seeing that the Manitou had
not yet thrown the stene, ami thinking
that |M-rhaps the stone had some magic
unknown except to the Maker <tf «« alt
suggested that lie throw the «tone In
the water.
'Hie Manitou, taking her at her
word, tossed the stone far out Into the
stream, ami it fell with a splash Into
the water and sank out of sight. And
thus was the fate of the Bed Men de
cided.
The Manitou ruled that each Bed
Man should live in tho valley an al
lotted span of years, and that then he
should die and tils body should perish
from tlie earth and should never more
come to life In the valley.
But In order that the Bed Mon
should not be hopeless nnd forlorn lie
protniseil thut those of them who kept
the faith and praised the Manitou and
his good work should live again in the
happy hunting ground above the Peak,
where there would be no death nnd
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 canie. but knowing
of the promise of Manitou they felt no
tear of death. And so It Is today. We
nil must die. but living well, we live
again In that great hunting ground,
where all Is happiness nnd peace.
