The White Father Pays His Indians ‘"Treaty Day" Means a Cash Bonus, Rejoicing and a Powâ€"wow for the Braves, and Their Families up at Lost Lake. It took two suns to pay the treaty money at Frenchman‘s Head, on an arm of Lost Lake, Northern Ontario, this year. And when it was overâ€" storyâ€"telling by the old men, the visitâ€" ing, the courting, the feasting that kept up day and night, and the games the youths playedâ€"the various bands gathered up their belongings, pulled down their tents, and paddled away in their canoes or "motored" in gaso line boats to the far rgaches of the waters that form the sole highways of this pleasant land of the Ojibways. All Indians are picturesque and colâ€" orful, the Ojilbway most of all. And whether at Grassy Narrows, down on the Lakeâ€"ofâ€"theWoods, up in the Peace River country, far down the majestic MacKenzie, or among the peaks of the Rockies, there is no more romantic, beautiful spot for Treaty Day than Frenchman‘s Head. Once, long ago, tradition has it, Indians put a French coureur des bois to death there after intolerable persecution at his hands and left his head hanging on a pole as a warning. The site is a muskoday, or meadow, covering perhaps four acres at the tip of a point extending Into Lost Lake In the background begins the dark forest, and up the lake, half a mile, which resembles a wide river at this point, a tiny wooded island stands like a sentinel guarding the way to the north, where the voyageurs and "black robes" of old traveled toward Hudson Bay and the modern voyageurs and argonauts speed in airplanes or power boats to the Red Lake gold fields. An ancient, narrow trailâ€"a foot wide and in many places a foot deep â€"extends across the Frenchman‘s Head treaty grounds, the pathway of Indians to the shore of Lost Lake for untold generations. On the north end of the tentâ€"covered meadow, a few feet from this ancient trail on a high embankment back from the lake twenty yards, the Indian agent for the Dominion Government, Captain Frank Edwards, and his assistants pitched their tent. With the British flag flown to the breeze, Treaty Day payâ€" ments officially began. No bank ever need fear a run from Ojibway Indian depositors. If whites, negroes or any of the other races with white man‘s ways were to be given money for the mero asking, they would have been lined up like fans at a world‘s series ticket window. But not the Ojibway. He is proud, d O eral _ hundred _ Indians leave thelri camplfires, babbling among themâ€"| selves, and saunter up the trail to the treaty tent. It is a contest, really.t to see who will be last. They gatherl in front of the tentâ€"perhaps half a' dozen of themâ€"and stand silently,| except for a monosyllable in underâ€"‘ tone now and then. ‘ The Indian policeman selects onei of them, and he steps up to the Cap-‘ tain‘s table and presents a square red card. It bears his name, his bandl and other data. "Peter Dawn the Day," says the interpreter. But! Poeter can speak English, and the inâ€" terpreter rests for the moment. Peter: bas a wife who cannot speak Enl-l lish, he tells the agent after a pause. "And how many children?" asks the agent pleasantly, as unhurriedly as any Indian. He has avquired the Indian‘s ways after years among them, though with white men he is alert, brisk and energetic, Peter hesitates. "Five," he smiles, revealing firm, large teeth. He waits for more than a minute as he tries to remember their names. There‘s is no "let me think" or "let‘s see, now," from him. He bas no little tricks of speech. He stands silently. There is profound mystery in an Indian‘s black eyes that a white man never can penetrate. The clerk counts out twelve crisp twoâ€"dollar bills and eleven ones, and hands3 them io Peterâ€"$5 treaty money for each member of his family. The Ojibway takes it gravely and walks away. He does not intend to esunt it untll he gets down among ehild‘s | peculiar "Good for you, Peter; give your children an education," says the agent warmly. There were no deaths since last treaty day and no sicknoss of any acâ€" count. David Dawn of Day had measles last September and Billy was sick, too. _ But Poter, the father, doesn‘t know what ailed him. Peter owns his home. Likewise a canoe and a gas engine, two guns, a fish net, sixtyâ€"seven traps and two tents. Last year ho raised fifteen bushels of potaâ€" toes, but no other roots, such as turâ€" nips or carrots.

It would be bad mnnen.l he thinks, though the agent‘s clerk,| who is also a constable who is neveri called upon to make an arrest, says: | "ount it, Peter." | Comes an aged woman, Nancy Petawawa. She has braided hair, a magentaâ€"colored shawl, a light blue dress and wears mooseskin moccasins. Ososotum the terrible (tuberculosts), carried off seven members of her famâ€" ily and she is all alone in the world. Nancy has attended fortyâ€"eight of the fiftyâ€"six treaty days since that first one in the Northwest Angle, Lakeâ€"ofâ€" theâ€"Woods, in 1873; f Except for ten traps, Nancy answers "coâ€"wain" (no) to all the questions as to possessions. "How does she live?" one asks. "Does she work for white people?" The agent answers: "Oh, she fishes, picks blueberries in season, makes moccasins, catches a few minks and muskrats and snares a rabbit now and then. An Indian is seldom too infirm to trap a little. And if the old ones are destitute in the fall we give them flour, pork and tea. We send them to their chief and he gives them to them as required, to guard against waste or improvidence. Also, we furâ€" nish them free medicine and a doeâ€" tor‘s services if there are no band funds." There is some irregularity in Jim Two Foxes‘s marrlage to the widow of a Cree from "up North." It takes an hour and a half to straighten it out and determine where the children of two different faiths shall attend school. The Anglican Canon, himself half Ojibway, there to watch after the interest# of his people, is called into consultation. Over and over and again the agent, through his interpreter, a breed, explains the nature of an bath to the Indian. "Why does this white man want me to kiss a book?" is written on the red man‘s impassive features. "I don‘t lie. Only bad white men tell les." The agent never loses his patience. The picture of the mother trying to induce the ailing child to take the spoonful of medicine comes to mind, Finally, Jim Two Foxes yields. He raises his right hand, puts the book to his lips and gives it a moist, reâ€" sounding smack. "A white man always believes another one when he makes an oath," the agent says in a relieved way. "If it isn‘t true the man is put in jail." Only thus indirectly does he imply that the same rule would apply in the case of an Indian. \ _ Suddenly there is a hubbub and & murmuring among the Indians and the first quick move of the day occurs | as swiftâ€"footed Indian youths race for ‘the shorae of the lake. One of the only two white men attending the treaty, a young trapper from Ogoki River country, has fallen into the water while testing a motor he has reâ€" paired for an Indian friend, The inâ€" terpreter and the policeman â€" rustb down to help also, and treaty pay> | ments stop until they return. "How are you, Joseph?" the agent greets Joseph Sapay. Many of the Indians in the Frenchmen‘s Head district _ worked for the Indian agent at one time or another when he managed a trading post on Lac Soul, and Treaty Day is a joyful occaâ€" sion for the tribesmen. "Where is your white brother Tom?" he conâ€" tinues. "Tom got jJob with Hudson‘s Bay Company ‘up North,‘" the Indian reâ€" plies. _ Tom has missed four treaties. "Give him my regards when you see him," says the agent, as Joseph walk away smiling and happy. He is proud to have this white man so friendly. If Tom Sapay misses another treaty ho will bhave some difficulty collecting the five annuities, ‘"We always let them havoe it," the agent remarks, "but it takes a little time." Under the heading "Religton" in the agent‘s book thera are a surprisâ€" ing number marked "pagan." In some of the districts the Indians are mostly Roman _ Catholics, while in others they belong to the Anglican faith. But whoether they belong to one or the other or none at all, the Canadian Government is scruptlousâ€" careful to respect the Indians‘ belief. "Canada _ emulates the _ mother country," says the Canon,. "Britain never blunders when it comes to & man‘s faith, and she has a thousand races and religions under her flag." There is pride and love of country in the Canon‘s tone and manner, "Britâ€" itsh fairness!" he adds, with emphasis, invariably does it. | | _ _A strange Indian from the Cree | country presents his card at the agent‘s table. None of the chiefs or counciliors know him. But his card l is regular. He is given only $4 beâ€" ‘cause of treaty regulations in effect in his district. He came down with , furs after "the breakâ€"up" in May and is going back to his band. He travelâ€" _ed 400 miles and made fiftyâ€"two portâ€" ages, several of them two miles long. A dozen canoes are out on the lake in half a minute. But they may as well try to save an otter or a beaver, The trapper swims ashore and there is much rejoicing. "Not 10 per cent. of these Indians up here can swim," says a member of the staff, as the excitement dies down. "That‘s why they are such dependable canoe men. They won‘t go where there is real danger, An Indian will shove off into roaring waters where a white man would hesitate, though the latter is an exâ€" pert swimmer, while the Indian canâ€" not swim a stroke. _ But he knows what he can do in his canoe and he invariably does it. ' Some of the tribesmen spent §15 4 mt Ske w in & idttisN.00k or more to reach Frenchman‘s Head for their treaty money. Few Indians are willing to miss this greatest of all days in the Indian calendar. It is Christmas, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July and Mardi Gras all in one to them. You cannot get cocoanuts, bananas,baker‘s bread, chewing gum, candy, ketchup, readymade cigarettes and fancy cakes in the forests. Beâ€" cause bad white men had smuggled whisky into other treaty grounds, no soft drink of any description can be purchased. It would be easy to disâ€" guise whisky as soft drink, the Govâ€" rrnment has found. But there are other good things for sale and plenty of money to pay for them. And old man Billy Sky Maker can tell wonderful stories. He is more than a hundred, they say. A story of the old days that always amuses the children is the one about the young brave that scalped a baldâ€" headed man and of how the other Indians twitted him gver afterward about It. It was a great "joke" on the young brave. Toward sundown an approaching thunderstorm ends treaty ceremonies for the day. The Union Jack is lowerâ€" ed and the Indians scurry to: their reâ€" spective tents. The storm breaks suddenly, furiously, with wind, lightâ€" ning and a torrent of rain. While the squaws and children, unafraid, recline on blankets inside, Indian men and youths hurriedly tie loose ropes, set tent pegs and make things safe and comfortable for their families before they themselves seek shelter. The warlike Sioux used to call the Ojibways "rabbits," and taunted them, saying, "go home and put on your squaws‘ dresses." But they are chivalâ€" rous and gentle, and stealing among Canada‘s 20,000 Ojibways is almost unknown. A part of an Ojibway‘s treaty money always is given to his children. After the shower and before the darkness settled, campfires were light:| ed and feasting resumed. Old men; walked about from fire to fire vlsitlng.f And a few young men "had talk" wlthi fathers of pretty squaws. If the father was satisfied, the young couple | married then and there without furâ€"| ther ceremony than "I will follow | yopu, my husband." i It is recognized as legal by the Govâ€"; ernment, and sometimes at the next| treaty day a Christian marrlage cereâ€" | mony is performed along with a chrisâ€" tening, The Government is trying, tactfully, to break up this custom. It wants all marriages performed by priests or ministers. The formality of a marriage ceremony is good for the Indian, who loves ritual and the solemnity of religious service.

If the garden is situated close to the rear of the house, as it should be, and with a door opening directly into it from the living or dining room, it may be made to serve as a summer living room, & charming place for breakfast or luncheon, and a cool place in which the housewife may perform numerâ€" ous emall tasks in such comfort as to make their doing something akin to pleasure. If one is planning to use the garâ€" den as an added summer room, one must consider carefully the subject of furnishing it properly. The needs will be, of course, comfortable chairs, a table or two, and in way of ornament, there might be a sundial or gazingâ€" The garden furniture must be sturdy, weatherproof and essentially comfortable and decorative. Furniâ€" ture of rustic cedar or white birch construction is inexpensive and may be made comfortable by the use of cushions covered, of course, with oil cloth or some other waterproofed maâ€" terial. Deck chairs, with painted wood frames and seats of colorful canvas make excellent garden chairs. The garden furniture should not be scattered aimlessly about the garden, but rather placed in groups in a seâ€" cluded, shaded spot. The sundial will add greatly to the interest of the garden. In the small, semiformal gardens so popular today, the sundial is not infreuently used as the central figure. There are great varieties of sundials to be had, and some are easily made at home of wood or sheet tin mounted on upturned logs, marked with paint. English ivy or lowâ€"growing deciduous vines are often planted about the base of the pedestal of the sundial, and have a softening eect The gazingâ€"globe affords beautiâ€" ful pictures, providing the globe is situated in a garden overflowing with bloom. Not the least important of the garâ€" den accessories is the birdâ€"bath. To have birds about the garden is deâ€" sirable, not only for their song, but also for their freely given help through their eating insects. Birdâ€" baths may be bought in various deâ€" signs, ranging in price from less than $5 to many hundreds of dollars. A very simple but effective birdâ€"bath may be made at home. It consists merely of a shapely log, about 10 inches in diameter, topped by an oldâ€" fashioned earthenware pie dish, 10 to 12 inches in diameter and four to five inches deep. No other dish than an earthenware one should be used. The heat of a metal pan would keep the water tepid, which is not at all reâ€" freshing to the users of the bath. Very fine reproductions of the old birdâ€"bath found in famous Italian and French gardons may be had in white cement at a reasonable price. These are, howoever, hardly in keeping with a small, informal garden. A word might be said as to the situation of the bath. For the safety of the birds, it should be placed near a small tree. It is best to have no thick rlants within five feet of the bath. Dense foliage at the baso of the bath would serve only too well as an ambush for cats. The professor was lecturing upon the internal arrangements of reptiles, and, looking round his class, he said: "If we dissect any small creature, we can see bow wonderful and beautiful are the ways of nture, and how perâ€" foct are her designs. 1 have, thereâ€" fore, brought the body of a frog, and we will proceed to examina It toâ€" gether."

Mr. Loigh : was reading aloud at the other end of the room to Lady Katharine and Mrs. O‘Brien, while Winnie and Harry were deep in & game ‘of‘ draughts. 1 "Please, Nir. Bertram, I don‘t think I could help it," said Grace, apoloâ€" gizing. "I have been getting to know the things." r "What things, Grace?" "The homes and <cradles of all the creatures," said Grace, "I have seen where «e limpets live, and the fish. I have seen them browsing 0n the sea weed on th rocks, and glancing in and out of the tiny forests under the sea, just as the birdg do in the woods on the land. Some of the tiny trees in the pools bave little crimson branches, as if it was fairyland, and they were cut out of precious stones, and little creatures with heads like stars come and sit among them, and sway their little starry orowns about, and look so at home and happy. If you keep still, and look down and ; down, it is wonderful what you find | out in those clear pools. _ Being in| another world, I suppose the crea tures do not mind us, and so are not‘ frightened, but let us look into the | middle of their homes, and see them1 at work and at play. .. ... "And what other cradles and homes have you found?" he said, â€"__"Those of the flowers," she said, "the kind of green banksâ€" that the primroses love, and the violets, by roadsides and in deep lanes, and in all the hedges, and on the edges of woods, and in all kinds of sweet, homely, everyâ€"day places. And then| the ferns; and the largeâ€"leaved waterâ€" plants breasting the brooks, bathing in them and enjoying the delicious wet, always flowing round them, and over them, and through them." "And what else, Grace?" "I have seen the cradles of the rivers themselves," she said. "I know one which bubbles out of the hillâ€" side, in a very tiny cave with a roof of lovely mosses, and has a little floor of sand and pebbles, and then trickles down and begins to sing at once. And I know another more like a baby river, scarcely able to speak at all. You only see it by the green of everything about it, and you only hear it, if you listen very quiletly, making a very little soft purring: around the roots of the grasses. So now I know what I have always wishâ€" ed to know, what kind of a cradle the river at home comes from, and what kind of a world it is going to in the great sea. And those will be such delightful things to think of always. Indeed I have had no time yet to draw, Mr. Bertram. Painting, even beautiful painting, seems only to give such a little bit of the outside of things, just the beautiful color and |shape, _ And there are such bundâ€" |reds of other beautiful things about everything, besides color and shape. |All the rustling in the leaves, and the |coolness of the rain and dow, and {then all the delicious smells and 'tast(‘u of the air, the salt sea tastes, |and the smell of the old fir trees like ‘incense in the sunshine, and of the |gmsa just mown, and of the earth ‘(when it has been raining, to say noâ€" |thing of the flowers, so sweet, and every one of them different." . . . "I see," said Maurice at length, "you do not mean to draw any more, until you can find some kind of brush or pencil that will paint wetness and |coolness, and salt sea tastes, and the smell of roses, or of newâ€"mown hay. |When you are at home again then, |Grace, will you care no more to see |the landscapes in the academy?" "Oh, ten times motre than ever, Mr. Bertram," she said. "I shall feel the fresh air, and the sweet smells, and everything now, whenever I look at those pictures of the sea, and the rivers, and the birds‘ nosts." "‘But you will despair of painting yourself ?" "I do not think I shall," she said.

The bags sag, the pipes are disconmected, and the truck is driven off to clean more chimneys. S00T AND SaALVAGE. No dirt gets out anywhere, either in the house or around the truck. It is all stored in the bag and carried off. Since it has been found that many people still cling to the idea that the chimney is an excellent place for storâ€" ing valuables and odds and ends, one furnace company has decided that it ‘p.ys to sift the contents of each bag before disposing of it permanently. The list of articles which have been salvaged from the bags after a "sweep" include money, razors, nails, tacks, pencils, erasers, needles, shoo buttons, watches, and on one occasion It is said that threeâ€"quarters of the dirt in the modern home comes from outside and oneâ€"quarter from the heatâ€" ing system if it is in good condithon. When the chimney becomes clo? with soot the amount of dirt in the |house is, of course, greatly increased. |\ The soot from a chimney, moreover, |is considered by housewives the worst |\ kind of dirt, as it smudges everything it touches. A coat of goot on the walls of a chimnmey also reduces the efficiency of furnace or stove. THE OLD CHIMNEY SWEEP I Romantic writers, especially those \ on the Continent and in England, ‘have made frequent references to the chimney sweep. From some of the | descriptions and caricatures he must \havo been a picturesque Fellowâ€"face streaked with so~t, chimney pot hat lon his head, ands carrying brooms, a live kitten whose hearthside slumâ€" bers woere rudely interrupted by the sudden suction of the 40â€"horsepower engine.

A black hood extended down the back of the neck to protect the head and ears; sleeve cuffs were turned in, trousor legs wore strapped and a huge black cravat was wound around his neck.
