THE LAKE OF SACRIFICE.
Louisiana Body of Water About
Which There Is an Indian
Legend.
Lake Ca ta-o i a, the sacred lake of
the Indians, lies ensconced, as it were,
in the deep solitude of the forest
which -kirts the Attakapas prairie on
the east side Of the Teche at about
nine miles from the town of St. Mar
tinvilh. The beauty of its scenery
and its picturesque landscapes have
probably no equal in the state, says
the Now Orleans States. Its waters i
have the transparency of crystal, and
it- depth ave ages from DO to 100
feet.
The word Ca-ta-ou-la means the Sake
of sacrifice. The following legend, as !
dramatic and tragical as the Biblical j
narrative of the death of Jephtbahs
daughter, gives 11s (he origin of that ;
name.
The Tetimetchee Indians, being |
threatened with dire calamity, the na
ture of which we know not, their
prayermen consurted their oracles, and 1
were i. formed that to propitiate the I
great .Manitou and to avert the calami
ty a fair maiden of the tribe was to j
be sacrificed to the cruel god and her i
soul eirowned in the placid waters of I
Lake Ca-ta-ou-la.
The beautiful At-ta-!a, the fair
daughter of the chief, 'offered herself
as a willing victim to propitiate the
Great Spirit.
Dressed in all the finery and pic
turesqueness of apparel of an Indian
princess, she repaired to the lake in
whose waters she was to find a watery
grave, followed by the weeping maid
ens and the stern warriors of the
tribe. V
She glided in her light canoe on the
ii* nieve i Vw\ l#i 1* a , 111 r. V „ I, „ d
reached the middle of the stream, and
with her eyes upraised and hands ex
tended toward the heavenly mansion
oi the great Manitou, she offered him
her youth and her life blood as a
sacrifice to propitiate him and to
avert the calamity ,}hat threatened her
people.
With radiant smile she then,turned
toward the shore of the lake where
*
knelt the weeping maidens. She wave'd
her hand gently to them, bidding them
an eternal adieu, and plunged into its
waters, to be seen no more.
Supersitilous persons assert that
even to this day* in times of great
calamity and misfortune, when the
moon spans th sky and shines serene
in the high heavens, streaking with
silvery fringe the gentle ripples of
the lake, a shadowy form is seen gild
:ng on its waters in a light canoe, with
hands extended heavenward, and they
say that all at once, uttering a wild
and unearthly shriek, the shadowy
form plunges headlong into the waters
and disappears, while the terror-strick
en denizens of the forest answer the
shrieks with howls and lugubrious hoot
ings.
From that' time Lake Ca-ta-ou-la be
came the sacred lake of the Indians,
and every year they repaired to this
*pbt to propitiate the great Manitou
V ith their offerings and sacrifices, into
"s crystalline waters they plunged
themselves to get cleansed of their
moral and physical impurities; into its
-acred waters they dipped their amu-j
lets and arrows to avert approaching i
calamities and to protect themselves J
against the devices of the e^il spirit. [
He who could not make ihis yearly j
pilgrimage t'elt despondent and un j
"happy, and his inability to follow the
others in the saintly journey boded j
him no good.
If while performing his immersion j
iu the lake one should happen to j
drown, his memory was execrated, and j
his death was considered the Judg
ment of the great Manitou as an atone
ment for the crimes committed by
him.
The lake is still called Ca-ta-ou-la.
the lake of sacrifice, but the great
Manitou. like his Indian worshipers,
is now a thing of the past.
Frost Makes Fat Turkeys.
“Cold weather makes tat turkeys,”
said the poulterer
“Why?”
“Because in a warm fall the ground
Keeps soft, the vegetation lingers on
and the fields are full of worms and
bugs. What's the result? The result
is tht.t the turkeys, from sunrise tilt
dark, u-uu.p the tempting fields on long
forages eating the worms and bugs,
which tiffn them, and walking all their
-rf abb fine tk- i into tough, stringy j
muscle.

snows, freeze s the ground and' kills !
the huge. The;; the turkeys are not j
tempted to u nder. They loaf in the)
farmyard, gorge an abundance of I
grain, and put on flesh like a middle- •
aged woman at a seashore hotel.
"But in a warm fall, hunting the Ir- j
resistible bug. The turkeys do their IS
or 20 miles regularly, and become ath- !
!etes. For athletic turkeys there is no j
public demand."
The Lawyer.
Now. guess who it is that takes an
oath “whereby lie invokes God’s help
That he may do no falsehood nor con- j
suit to the doing of any in court; that :
he may not wittingly or willingly pro- :
mote or sue any false, groundless or
unlawful suit, nor give aid or con- J
sent to the same; that he may delay •
no man for lucre or malice, but that :
he may conduct himself with all good !
fidelity.” Guess who takes that oath. i
But you would never guess it in the \
world. It is the lawyer.—Kansas City :
Times.
Not in That Caee.
He—Do you believe that if one pwr- \
son gives another a pair of scissor*
it will cut their friendship?
She— Not if it’s a nice little pair «f
silver scissors with my monogram ml
