LEGEND EXPLAINS WHY IROQUOIS FEAST SEVEN DAYS EACH YEAR J. N. B. Hewitt Tells Mythical Story of Ancient Rites, Festivals of Tribe Have Origin in Creation of Indian Life. This is the story of Teharonhie- wagon, allas Athzoockuatoriaho.

How the Legchd Originated. The legend of Teharonhiewagon goes back to the days when “the waters covered the earth,” as de. scribed in the first chapter of Genesis. There was no moon nor stars. But somewhere in the sky there was a beautfiul land, lighted by giant white flowers of a great tree of life. In this land dwelt a race of infinitely power- ful mandlike creatures—the gods. Above them all was the great God. _ Now one day this great God becaime angry with his spouse and cast her {out of Heaven. The hale she_came through in_her fall is the sun.” The waterbirds noted her falling and took rd of these | pity on her, for she would drown if she fell in the water. So they dived to the bottom and brought up bits of earth in their beeks, These they placed on the back of the giant turtle, Low in High in Quality August The Month We expect to win many new friends by offering carloads of Good Furniture at more than reasonable It will pay you to have us furnish your Summer Prompt service home delivery—or sent pre- paid to all parts of Maryland and Virginia.

This is the earth; and it still rests on the back of the turtle. Boon after she landed she gave birth 10 Teharonhiewagon, the creator of Life. It was he who created all Hv- ing things on the earth, except, of course, the birds and the turtle. Teharonhiewagon remained lo: the creatures he had create finally vanished—just how is ot | clear. At any rate, before his vanish- ing he informed his people that he would makq a path for them across the world, and at the end of the path they ‘would find a mound of earth from which three plants woyld sprout. This farewell of Teharonhiewagon, says Mr. Hewitt, is curigusly similar to the words of Christ; “I'am thew ¥, the ressurrection and the life.” The Indian Messiah's path led to the mound of earth—the grave. But it also led to the profhise of certain res- surrection—the growing things sprout. { ing from the grave.
