TETON" STOUX MUSIC

This is not entirely similar to the preceding songs, as it is a per- 

 sonal rather than a society song, but is placed hero as it may be 

 supposed to have been sung prior to the departure of a war part}^. 

 In some respects the words of this song resemble those of Red Fox's 

 war song (Xo. loo), yet the idea is exactly the opposite, for in this 

 song a reluctant boy is being urged to ])rarery ])y his older brothers.
