Th Winn adherents of the rival playel reinge themselves in the rear and watc the game with intense ,interest and b rocklesely. A paleface cannot iinagii the excitement they Oppress as the black eyes follow the game. One of th Weyer& takes ten chips, one of them di tinguislied from the others by a whit ring, alid -divides them 1 into two equ piles arid carefully mixea them with th bark shavings He then grabs one pit shavings and all, in each hand an moves bis hands in a cirIcle rapidly fro' right to left, while oue of the pposit 1 side guesses in' whiCh hand he h Ids th white ringed chip, or "queen.," s it 1 called. If the guess is right, one of th tally sticks is taken -from the player' pile and given to the guesser, but i wrong the guesser's pile suffers. The guessing is done With ,deea stud and after the most earnest possibl nhitching of the aasses of the chips an 1 ie shavings from one hand to the other Each side starts with .160 sticks, an when oue side has. won them all the gam Will come to an end. The Indians trent hie with excitement, aid the ' squaw chatter excitedly among themselves con cerning the conductof the gaming opera tions and the respective winnings and losings. Bets are constantly being made not on the separate plays, but on th outcome of the game, and all will .be set tied at the same time. The bets consis of money, -blankets, horses, guns, cows herness and everything the bettors pos sess, even to the clothing on their backs Occasionally the gaming will become very noisy, and the. tribes will ensleavor to cbeer their respective tribal players and therefore help their own bete to ward winning by shouts and yells and deep guttural songs.. Fancy what a noise would be made by a lot of excited In- dians yelling the following: Hey -yo, ho -ho I Hey -yo, ho -ho, ho-hol Ayee, licelio, ayee ayeel -Mingi, Ming', Pac'hango 1 Ah, oh, a -a -a llo-yah-wah-who Pa-chan•go ! The whole assemblage -of redskins. take up this yell and continue it over and over, keeping time with their clapping hands and swaying bodies. The dealers, who are meanwhile silently playing the game of sing gamble for their respective tribal bettors, also keep time vrith their movements with the wooden chips. A dealer will seize' a double handful of shavings and thea ostentatiously, count out eight wooden chips and one black one, nine in all. Then he will click them sev- seral times and Magically 'cover them with shavings.. Then he will separate_ the chips and shavings and show two piles of white chips. In a twinkling he will 'make passes with his hands, holding the two piles Of chips about his head, under his blouse and about his anatomy so fast that a three card monte sharp would wonder at his dexterity. . The chatting suddenly ceases,, and ev- ery eye lil turned to some one of thedeal- ere who are performing all manner al rapid passes to deceive the eyes of the bettors of the opposite tribe. When the bets have been made, the dealers sudden- ly cease their passes and gyrations, and by a dexterous movement throw the chips and shavings from one hand upon the mat. If the black chip is there, one point -has been scored by the tribe that bet it was there. If it is in the other hand, the tribe has lost a point to its op- ponents. As .1 he game progresses the backers of the players, who are all intensely, almost insanely, interested in the outcome, be- cause of :having staked their worldly wealth upon it, encourage them and as- sist them In every way possible.

In the good old times, when t e squire was lord of all he surveyed in th village, his pew in the parish church a. as often a kind of sitting room. One sue pew oc- cupies the Whole of the south tr, nsept of the diminutive church at Gattoni. in Sur- rey. It has a fireplace, a low sent which extends round two sides of the room and blue tapestry decoration. Above it is an- other floor, on which are three or four or- dinary pews for the use of the squire's servants, and from it a covered a ay leads to Gatton Hall, some few yards away. There may be some truth in tee story that a former squire used to enjoy a pipe by the fireplace during the sermon and that if he became weary he 'would go out through the private door for. short stroll In the churchyard. A similar pew exists in a c urch at Col- . wich, Staffordshire. It has a staircase leading to a private door, ai d it is said that the postman came this ,ay to- con- vey letters and that the sea ant brought in cake and wine for consuna tion during the service _ The royal pew of St. Get:Age's. chapel, Windsor, is peculiar, because it is the lar- gest of its kind in England and on ac- count of its being situated above the choir, down upon which the queen can see the service from a fine oriel window. In little Benjamin church, Norfolk, is a pew for strangers and wedding parties. It was constructed by a shepherd and bears a cheerful, suggestive piece of or- namentation in the shape. of the carving of a skeleton, with the following inscrip- tion: • For couples Joined in wedlock; and my Friend That stranger is; This seat I did inteede.
