  The

  goes

  [The 
  Bear 
  Man'ido 
  is 
  angry 
  because 
  the 
  braves 
  are 
  dilatory 
  in 
  going 
  

   to 
  war. 
  The 
  sooner 
  they 
  decide 
  upon 
  this 
  course, 
  the 
  better 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  

   for 
  the 
  Mide 
  as 
  to 
  his 
  fee, 
  and 
  the 
  chances 
  of 
  success 
  are 
  greater 
  while 
  

   the 
  braves 
  are 
  infused 
  with 
  enthusiasm, 
  than 
  if 
  they 
  should 
  become 
  

   sluggish 
  and 
  their 
  ardor 
  become 
  subdued.] 
  

  

  THIRD 
  DEGREE. 
  

  

  The 
  structure 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  third 
  degree 
  of 
  the 
  Mide'wiwin 
  is 
  con- 
  

   ferred 
  resembles 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  preceding, 
  and 
  an 
  outline 
  is 
  pre- 
  

   sented 
  in 
  Fig. 
  25. 
  In 
  this 
  degree 
  three 
  posts 
  are 
  erected, 
  the 
  first 
  one 
  

  

  resembling 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  de- 
  

   gree, 
  being 
  painted 
  red 
  with 
  a 
  

   band 
  of 
  green 
  around 
  the 
  top. 
  

   (PI. 
  xv, 
  No. 
  1.) 
  This 
  is 
  planted 
  

   a 
  short 
  distance 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  

   middle 
  of 
  the 
  floor. 
  The 
  second 
  

   post 
  is 
  also 
  painted 
  red, 
  but 
  has 
  

   scattered 
  over 
  its 
  entire 
  surface 
  

   spots 
  of 
  white 
  clay, 
  each 
  of 
  about 
  

   the 
  size 
  of 
  a 
  silver 
  quarter 
  of 
  a 
  dollar, 
  symbolical 
  of 
  the 
  mi'gis 
  shell. 
  

   Upon 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  this 
  post 
  is 
  placed 
  the 
  stuffed 
  body 
  of 
  an 
  owl— 
  K5-ko- 
  

   ko-o'. 
  (PI. 
  xv, 
  No. 
  2.) 
  This 
  post 
  is 
  planted 
  a 
  short 
  distance 
  west 
  of 
  

   the 
  first 
  one 
  and 
  about 
  midway 
  between 
  it 
  and 
  the 
  third, 
  which 
  last 
  

   is 
  erected 
  within 
  about 
  6 
  or 
  8 
  feet 
  from 
  the 
  western 
  door, 
  and 
  is 
  

   painted 
  black. 
  (PI. 
  xv. 
  No. 
  3.) 
  The 
  sacred 
  stone 
  against 
  which 
  

   patients 
  are 
  placed, 
  and 
  which 
  has 
  the 
  alleged 
  virtue 
  of 
  removing 
  or 
  

   expelling 
  the 
  demons 
  that 
  cause 
  disease, 
  is 
  placed 
  upon 
  the 
  ground 
  

   at 
  the 
  usual 
  spot 
  near 
  the 
  eastern 
  entrance 
  (Fig. 
  25, 
  No. 
  1). 
  The 
  

   Makwa 
  Man'ido 
  — 
  bear 
  spirit 
  — 
  is 
  the 
  tutelary 
  guardian 
  of 
  this 
  degree. 
  

   C'eilar 
  trees 
  are 
  planted 
  at 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  outer 
  angles 
  of 
  the 
  structure 
  

   (Fig. 
  25, 
  Nos. 
  6, 
  7, 
  8, 
  9). 
  The 
  sudatory 
  is 
  erected 
  about 
  100 
  yards 
  due 
  

   east 
  of 
  the 
  main 
  entrance 
  of 
  the 
  Mide'wigan, 
  and 
  is 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  size 
  

   and 
  for 
  the 
  same 
  purpose 
  as 
  that 
  for 
  the 
  second 
  degree.
