THE INDIAN XO PROBLEM. 3 



prolonged even to permanence, the results would surely have 

 been a complete transformation. Practically the same presen- 

 tation of results, from the same cause, can be shown in every

Carlos Montezuma is a full-blooded Apache Indian. "When 

 he was thirteen years old he was captured by the Pimas and 

 brought to their camps, where he was offered for sale, a horse 

 being the price asked. A traveling photographer, who hap- 

 pened to be in the Pima camp taking photographs, became 

 interested in the boy and offered $30, the price of a horse, 

 which the Indians accepted. He brought the boy East, and 

 had him with him in his gallery in Brookljm, Boston and 

 Chicago. He sent him to the public schools, and finally, 

 through the interest of a lad\' of means, he entered the Illinois 

 University. He developed special aptitude for chemistry, and 

 when he graduated a place was found for him in a drug store 

 near the Chicago Medical College, where, as a clerk, he sup- 

 ported himself and earned the means for carrying himself 

 through a course in the college. He graduated in 1888, and 

 under the advice of friends, put out his sign in Chicago. 

 After a year or so he yielded to the request of the Commis- 

 sioner of Indian Affairs, and served most creditably for sev- 

 eral years as an Agency and school physician under the Indian 

 Bureau East and West, but returned to Chicago, and for a 

 dozen or more years has been in successful practice in that 

 great city. He knows nothing of his native Apache lan- 

 guage, nor is there a trace of Apache superstition or custom 

 to be found in him.

 captured her when she was about fifteen j-ears old. She 

 became the wife of a 3^oung Comanche of some importance.
