Meadow and Mountain 



A lone tepee on the prairie is worth your while to see. 

 The Indian family within are happy in their home. Some 

 signs of their own adornments may be seen, but these have 

 largely been displaced by the conventional stripe and check 

 of the white man's civilization. But these are not the only 

 checks that the white man has put on his tawny brother. 

 We must also believe that he has helped him forward some. 

 As to the native inventions of our brother in red, it must be 

 conceded that he (or she) has produced some beautiful things. 

 Many of their beads, bows, blankets, baskets, and orna- 

 mented sandals are things of beauty. In some quarters it is 

 noticeable now on the white man's wares that he has caught 

 a hint or two from these people of the wild.
