"SCHOOL'S OUT."
(School's out! With joy the urchins shout
And huil vacation days.
For two long months, with pleasure tilled,
,Thc youthful eye surveys
Two months of stretched-out happiness,
Of fun, and romp, and rest, '
respite long for little heads _
\By studies oft distressed.
Ivo more the Ijcll to lessons calls '
>o tariy tnac it seems
j|n interruption rude, unkind,
Of childhood's pleasing dreams.
JTo more the little feet must tread
'With speed precipitate
The schoolward path, lest on the rolls
*Ts marked the dreaded "Late."
lor now the hell hangs motionless,
There's 110 one now to chide;
And all the weary little eyes
With sleep are satisfied.
IN? problems hard oan eome to vex,
For hooks are put away.
The school is closed, the doors are locked, ,
There's nuugh. to do but play. ^
The golden days ot Summertime
Are filled with sunshine bright.
And in the sky the twinkling stars
Arc smiling through the night.
? *' Vrfnro rr.oelioe Atlf llf?r ltanriw
Throws open all her doors.
Brings back the roses to the cheeks,
And health and strength restores.
Vacation days! The words recall
The joys of long ago,
"JVben all the world seemed filled with" J
smiles,
And life ne'er had a woe.
Tbc time when those with heads now gray,
And years well rounded out,
fbeir books and problems threw aside
And shouted "School is out!"

2 How the Dakotas Accounted Fcr the ?
41? 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

did not tbxn know that the man with
Jher was Sape Cock.
! 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

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.

and for his aid in avenging herself.

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.?
