And Noah kept a abouttaf "There* room for more" and we learn from an equally reliable source that the ark was no crowded that the doc was com- pelled to stand with bla nose outside and that that accounted for too fact want a dog's nose was always cold. Although these things happened many years ago, and conditions have ffcangad wonderfully with the Inter* vening years, there fa one custom that has never changed, unless It Is for the worse, and that Is the custom of over- crowding public conveyances. If any one doubts the reliability of this statement, we invite them to board a Chicago and Milwaukee electric car on any day, at any hour of the day, at any place between Evanston and Win* netka. These cars are built to accom- modate about aigty people and they often carry twice that number. Those who are compelled to stand are not even allowed the satisfaction and sup* port of a strap with which to balance themselves. Yerkes, of Chicago street- car fame, made the famous remark tear: that they were perfectly of taking cafe of themselves and they canto bare added that they would like to have some voice to the sastter wfaen It eeme to choosing their com- •aajr.

Oliver, daeghter of former assistant BecreUrjr of War Robert Shaw Oliver. -The chief of the harvest priests flrst appeared, earning in his head a weird wind instrument, which as he swaag soaaded like the angry sough- ing wind of a storm," she writes. "Others followed carrying rattles «at.Mtha straphanger pays the divi- dend*" but the Chicago and Milwaukee haB gone that gentleman one better and has evidently figured out that by crowding their cars to double capacity, so that the passenger could net pos- sibly fall over from the motion of the «ar, they might save even the cost of the strap. Your present-day street-ear company to very much like the bad little boy who starts attending Sunday school about a month before Christmas so aa to "get In on" the Christmas tree. You can always tell when the life of their franchise Is getting abort by the splen- did accommodations given the travel- ing public until after that franchise Is renewed. Judging from the existing conditions, we are forced to believe that the Chicago and Milwaukee elee trie's franchise is, flguratlvoly speak- ing, a mere child, with a long and vig- orous life before It. However, the time will come when they will want It rone wed and then the people will pot forget what they have been forced 1o put up with for so many years. TAG. in desirable summer out- ings, tagging Chicago aldermen on an European Junket might be given tirst place. | We learn from the dally papers that Mrs. Sala Flagg Young and Mrs. Ger- trude Brltton, who are being sent by the Chicago Hoard-«f Education to atudy educational conditions in Eu- rope, were "snubbed" by a party of aldermen When they return they will be wined aad dined by the Indulgent ettv, whlca gave them the trip, and -** the first flush of their pride at being able to scale all problems pertaining to ter- minal matters, they will boast of the many wonderful things which they saw and of some of the marvelous things which they did. and the ladles who are permitted to "tMg" along with their husbands to listen to these orations will be tresed to something like this: "In all our trip, while we were con* stantly reminded that there were many civic Improvements which might be made In our beautiful city, we were conscious at every step that Europe had nothing to offer us In the way of Improving our greatest asset---the Chi- cago Woman. Her face it is the fairest that e'er the sun shone on" and so on and on with an endless line of that same old "bunk" that we all like so well even when we know It Isn't so. For you must remember that election time Is drawing near and even the women are useful sometimes. And by-the-way. we wonder if the Chicago taxpayers are asking each other Just what kind of a trip they are paying for which is "for men only." _. _^ _. ".., ^ ■----. mi*~-~--. t whfcb made the sound of faUtog rata; But what of the gallant aldermen. cUie„ had ears of com. or other, har- vest emblems. ' Suddenly I saw a I riest aseeadtog the ladder leading from the Snake klva. He was covered with a long coat, and carried a great bag, the contents of which wr;;bod and wriggled. He deposited his <*ag of rnt^T under the tepee-like altar. Just mm tfee rays ot the Betting sun struck the top rung of the ladder, sev- eral figures emerged. Now the cere- mony began. Crossing hands, they swayed from east to west with eyes half closed. After about 20 motions they hurst into deep-voiced chant. Soon some of the priests began to look half hypnotized, and sang with their eyes fixed and heads bent, "Suddenly the singing stopped and the Snake priests stood in line, single file, only every other priest bad his band on the shoulder of the one in front of him and in the other hand carried a wand of eagle feathers. Around they went, around the plaza, with a funny, high-stepping motion. As they passed the altar they paused and stamped twice on a board that was over a hole to awaken the spirits to hear their prayers. The second timo the priests passed the altar I saw them pause, but only when they had turned facing me did I realize the horror. Every other man had a squirming live rattlesnake in bis mouth! The snakes were curling themselves Into ail kinds of ....horrible shapes, and their evil heads went darting this way and that. I snw one rattler strike a man Just under tb< ear. He had to pull It loose, but took a fresh bold of the snake nearer its bead and seemed none the worse for it. "Now I saw the reason for the sec- end priests with feather wands. Their duty was to soothe the snake by strok- ing It with the feathers, and to guide the snake-carrying priest, who often looked as If he were in a trance. The snakes would hiss and try to coil and strike, but the tickling of the feathers would make them uncoil, and the priests would pick them up with about as much concern as most people would pick up n rope. Two of the Hnake priests were little boy« who could not have been more than eight years old. One of them danced with a bull snake bigger than himself, which he had to hold with both hands as well as hit* teeth to prevent it from gtsttiiiR away. "A group of Hopl maiden* now cu- tered. The priests then threw all the snakes on the ground in u grea" squirming mass at their feet, and the maidens sprinkled the hideous u-ptilos with sacred meal. Then the priests bent down arid each seized two hand- fuls of snakes, und turnliiK ran with incredible awlftness out of the plaza down to the desert, where, with a parting message to their spirit broth- ers, they left them. "1 rode back to camp • ry nth-nt, tho whole thing leavlu* mo rather dazed, It s«-omed so welril, si» unreal: and yet the knowledge that the dance was the culmination of olxteen days of fasting and pray«-r, and tho Intense religious attitude of both priests and people, impressed me inor«. than I was willing to admit. How wan it that the poison of the snakes had no effect on the dancers? I asked many the solu- tion of tills problem, and their an- swers were always the »,ime, 'We don't know; all we know la, if any trader or nheep-berdor i« bitten by a rattler, If wo can got him to tho snake priests ho is alwayH saved The cure, whether drug, herb, or Incantation, Is kept secret, and the Biiake dan guard it as a sacred trust, never to he di- vulgod under any conditions'" 1 lelnrotb to Thoa. 2 toy>.........................-fl-nt Wtoaetka, flroveland add., lot to.

TOO MUCH TANQO. When Professor 11. Ai'oi stink BMiTiLat the recent Sunday School In- stitute at the Chicago Theological seminary told of boys and Klrls doing tango steps to church music at the close of Bcrvlce, many thought he bused his Information on some sensa- tional report, but the late telegraphic dispatches Trom Atlantic City seem to bear him out in his declarations. When the authorities attempted to stop Sunday tangoing by the bathers on the beach by having the bands play Bacred music, the dancura adapted their steps to the music ami did the hesitation to "Lead. Kludly U«ht," and other religious music. Dr. Smith Boys there Is too much rhythm In our hymns, lie declared that "an overdeveloped sense of rhythm made the child a hot-blooded animal rather than a worshipful soul." Professor Smith traced the develop- ment of Christian hymns through the history of the church. Modern hymnB. he said, are expressing the new social awakening or the church, and in the hymns of modern tendency Christ Is termed "master workman." "rugged muster" and "lover of the Chicago who are like- wise being aent - by the city to study railroad terminals in open road." Discussing the decline of Interest in church hymns. Professor Smith said: "Wo can never create an Interest in the singing of hymns until we realise that a hymn is not a hit of pantry or doggerel to be sung while the win- dows are being opened or at some other period which Is not really a part of tho service."
