These bitter were the^Jtts?*to oomeupon the scene, and were dressed in bright colored embroidered kilts, fashes, anklets and beautifully tanned yellow foxskins hanging down behind the body. They bore small rattles in .ooo hand, while in the other was held ai ?tick, *^ which w<?8 fastened couple of tarko/ feattbej^; ?TSupsIack^they claim, carries the necessary protection, of one's Bfo and lets the snake's tutelary god know that none of his progeny will be tn j tared cr carried to remote lands.

After they had arranged them? selves properly, in a state of extraordi? nary, exaltation, the .snaie :men? came. in to bound across the mesa with a single stride,. These dancing men, like their prede cee^irs,Imade four circuits around ? large rock which stands in the center of . the place. They then faced the chorus and a song was gone through with. Af - ter this ceremony the snake men were divided into groups of three, and one from each three went into the cotton? wood shed and extracted a snake from one of the loga, and after putting it into his mouth and firmly: ?sing it there Kritik his teeth, he s carted -on his round A DISGUSTING SCENE. . Hrs companion, with his arm around Iiis neck, kept the tail of the snake in position with his left hand, while with Ids right, in which he carried a stick W^f?^^fe^hersatta^hed, he kept the serpent from' becoming entangled in the hair of the dancer. The snake, af ter , being carried asoioK^i&? t?rele, -was '; thrown from the month, when the third tnember of the group gathered it np and carried it for the rat'of the dance. At times tbe serpents would try to make their escape and would make a dash for liberty through the crowds which surrounded the dancers, and the spectators would scatter in all directions ?rt?^^^^^s^^^jga?)ture? by^ the , The visits to the shed were continued untn at least 150 snakes had been ' brought from the inclosure, and all ap? peared to be in excellent condition, judg faigffvr?an the manner in which they re sirtecf capture '?h er they had" been di ?7-ped frc m the i?outh. Two or three instances were noticed of large, bull snakes being held by the neck and twin- ' mg their bodies around the legs of the dancers. In ene instance the snake had so entwined himself around the per? former that, he was unable to move for fear of falling? Thia predicament caused ? % great outburpt 0/ laughter,: but it looked ^jj?^g?fbat /un?y ?tp; t]b> dancer. Those who danced with the snakes sot infrequently had three or four in the mouth at t1 ? same time, which, of all the .perform e, was the most re? pulsive.' * To see- these naked human be? ings going around with, the face com ple^y hidden behind a mask of twist lag and sq airming snakes was enough tn make the stoutest hearted man shud? der with disgust, yet the other members of the tribe greeted these manifestations with applause. SNAKES CHEWED rv HALVES. The applause of %he; spectators urged the dancens. to^greater feats, and as the dance proce^?e^blexwrformauce became most hom we to behold. Some of the dancers would take two large rattlers in the mouth at the same time, and as they slowly swung around the circle would chew on the living snakes until, in some instances, the serpents would fall to the ground completely bitten in two. One dancer, who appeared to be a leader, at one time had six serpents in his mouth, and tiie swinging ends of the reptiles made a gorgoa appearance of his head as be wraped tJ????. the outer edge of the ?freie. This ceremony lasted two hours, and when the dance was over the partici pants were thoroughly exhausted. While during the dance they had been upheld by the ecstatic condition, the reaction was terrible, and while there was no permanent injury to the darners, it took several days for them to recuperate, j This time was spent in sleeping and 1 drinking a weak sort of broth made from the dead snakes which had per- 1 ished in the ceremony. During this ! dance there is a peculiar luster of the body and eyes which would indicate that the performers had been medicated and prepared for^.the ordeal through which they were al It was sufc*>seg by game that the rat? tlesnakes hsfn^eea rendel harmless by the extractjo? *>? ?heir fangs, but to show that? ?icn was*nbt" the case a dog was brought into the circle and was bit? ten by a snake.
