Little Bighead 



usually provided for, even before the human 

 beings, so their first care was to cut and 

 stack several tons of the meadow hay. This 

 occupied nearly two weeks. Then they 

 turned their attention to making winter- 

 quarters. 



On one side of the stream, about half a 

 mile back from the Kansas River into 

 which their creek emptied, was a woody 

 bluff. This would afford shelter from the 

 winds and also a fuel supply. Accordingly, 

 this spot was selected as the site of their 

 abode. Nature had also favored them here, 

 for they discovered a natural cave in the 

 bluff, which a few days' work made a very 

 comfortable stable for the cow and mule, 

 not to mention Little Bighead, who was 

 now the center of all the plans as far as the 

 young people were concerned. Mrs. Ander- 

 son also was as fond of him as she had ever 

 been of any pet calf back on the Indiana 

 farm.
