Mocking Voice. FAll back in the misty past the \yhoop tornat] country had no homos but^vigwarns, 110 people but Indians. The answering haloo grew fainter and finally died away, leaving the hunters pnzzlod to account for it. They asked their cluefs, and this is the explanation as the generations of time have changed it: Turtle Dove, who lived years ago in Bear's Caleb, in the Black Hills of the Dakolns. had one little babe,' a boy. whom she called Sage Cock, and a girl f five named Ohoteu. It was her custom when she daily gathered seeds in tbo valh?y to carry Sage Cock about on her back, as Indians do. but one day ahe grew no tired of her burden that she laid Sage Cock, who was fast asleep under n sagebrush aud told Ohoteu to watch him. Turtle Dove went further aud furth ?r down the gulch, and while she was mway an old witch, who had been watching lier chance, came hobbling VP"Obotcu, is the little boy your brother?" she asked in a cracked voice, which she vainly tried to make pleasant. She knew without psking that it was Sage Cock, but Ohoreu. who had lieen taught that witches were more Kic ly to tarry off boys than girls, though frightened, answered quickly: "So, it is my sister.'' tTbe-n the witch, although bad enough "herself, scolded ihe trembling little maiden ft * her lie and changed herself Into so terrible a shape that Ohoten was so frightened she could not interfere when the witch-ran off with her little brother, taking him to her home on'the side of a distant mountain. ^This old witch was so tfcly that no ' mnnn would iii.'irrv her. ?he had do dded that her only course was to cuptnre a husband, aud this was her>rea eon for wanting Sago Cock. When she , reached her cave she began transforming the baby intojt full grown-man. First she pulled at" one limp, tiien 'au?ther, until each was the size of a jnaifs. ' ' Finally Rage Cock, cf n man's size and with a man's strength, stood before her. She at last had a husband. But, In spire of his size. Rage Cock in , ihis heart and brain was stiff a baby, and apt to do the same foolish things a'baby would do. The witch had to teach him to hunt ami fish and to eat 4rk?d buffalo,meat, and as it was a long time before his mother found him lie had then learned to shoot well. t?ll ;was not long after the kidnap-! pin;: of Sage Took before Turtle Dove hail all the seeds she could carry, and. * returning to the spot where she had ; left, her children, she met Ohoteu crying and was told what had happened. Ofcoteu soon had other reasons for crying. : Bui punishing the girl did not lessen the mother's grief for the loss of her. baby. In great sorrow she started immediately on the long, hopeless search for Sage Cook. Her brother. Eagle, because he was a great trnvp'cr offered to aid her, and, by flying very *wiftly and without rest, lie visited a igreat deal of territory. But it was 1m cnlntl f^tn \Trltr*)l TTf?

But when he told Turtle Dove of what he had seen she started at once With him for the witch's mountain, { sure that u the man was her boy transformed by the wicked magic of the witch, he would still recognize her voice. When the two liuuliy reached the neighborhood where the witch had previously been seen Turtle Dove ,.1 ir.il.rul intr. <1 1 pr>i? sin<l eviprl nlrind most mournfully, while Eagle, from another tree, keenly watched the effect on Sage Cock, who immediately recognized the voice and cried repeatedly'to the witch: "I hear my mother! I hear my mother!" But the witch only laughed and told him to hide in the stomach of a mountain sheep which was lying near, a trophy of the hoy-man's skill with the bow and arrow. Obedient Sage Cock crawled into the sheep, so the, legend goes, and the old wit eh followed him. Turtle and Eagle were puzzled at the sudden disappearance .of the two, but had no thought of Investigating the interior workings of the dead mountain sheep, atfd were more wretched in their disappointment than at any time since the long search began. They wandered aimlessly about for several days, when Eagle decided that the missing pair, and particularly Sage Cock, who was half a baby, would soon be so hungry they would have to come out of their hiding for food. He killed a rabit and huntT It at the top of a small pine tree. peeled.:the tree of its bark and limbs, that it might be next ?to impossible to climb it,-and then from the branch of a great tamarack he watched developments. It was but a few hours.before the witch appeared, as Eagle had expected. And when she saw the rabbit, which was the nearest food at hand, she began awkwardly climbing the* tree. So slow was she that Eagle, who had seen her emerge from the sheep, had'time to pull Sage Cock out-of the sheep's paunch and carry him off. while the witch was grunting and hugging the tree, her eyes lixed on-the rabbit above. Eagle carried his prize to the same spot under the sage bush from which Sage Cock was stolen, and so soon as Sage.Cock, now a man. touched the earth he was instantly transformed into the same baby be had been when he had disappeared. As. Eagle's track^ were washed out by rainstorms, when the witch dlscoveml her loss she was unable to trace him. - But she saw some^ feathers which she knew were Eagle's, and at once divined what had happened. She decided to go to her grandfather. a rattlesnake, for .-protection and for his aid in avenging herself. J lit* Vt'Iienilill' rqnui'i niutrcouu^i;, with whom she was by no means popular, was drowsing in a glare of sunshine, on a big flat rock. and. vexed that she had awakened hini. he told her roughly, "Go away. I don't want to see you." ; But ; as she stood there pleading Eagle appeared. She was badly frightened,^but as she did not lose her wits when,Rattlesfiake.cried, "Hide, hide," she jumped right into;the old fellow's iiioutli 'and slid down to his middle, which gave old Rattlesnake such a pain that he begged the'witch to crawl out, and when she refused, in hls-.paroxysms of anguish he slipped out of ol'Jn Jao rlnrr t ho tvltnh within If. When Eagle called out, "Where are you. old witch?" in a threatening ton? she answered hirn derisively from her peculiar quarters, mocking what he had said. As she-feared no disturbance in such an abode, she has lived there ever since, and glorying in her seclusion her voice Js often heard, always deriding and mocking people.? Sioux City Journal.

While"the pea canning industry has not yet reached the extent of'the tomato canning'industry, there is every indication that within a few years it will rival It in point of shipments. r Indiana now stands second in the list of States as a canning centre, and furnishes twenty-six per cent, of the canned goods pur up annuauy m luc United States. Maryland stands first, having a slight margin over Indiana, and New Jersey is third., The canning industry started in Indiana in anything like a big way about six years ago. It was at first confined almost entirely to tomatoes. * Beans were then added. Then came corn, and then a combination of pork and beans.
