Teaching the Indians 
(Continued from pngt* 1421) 
lift le ones, count u-ueiug shortly after 
birth and until about three years old. on 
their hacks, being held there by the blan¬ 
ket the mother wears as a wrap. This 
heavy carrying makes the mothers 
stooped and worn appearing, but it is 
much easier than arm carrying.. 
Some of the squaws have been good 
students and have tried to learn, are fair 
housekeepers, and a very few might even 
he called neat, but the majority—oh. 
my ! We wonder how they can exist. 
They very seldom have more than onr 
medium-sized room, and this is always 
large enough to accommodate the whole 
family, no matter how large, and then 
there is plenty of room for any number 
of visitors I hat may happen along. The 
slove is usually the only article of furni¬ 
ture in the room. The beds are nests on 
the floor, and if they do possess a table 
it is it useless ornament, as they prefer 
to eat their food from the floor, all sil¬ 
ting around in a circle, and one dish is 
the only dish, as individual dishes are un¬ 
known, and the coffee pail travels from 
one to the other. 
These people will eat anything. If a 
rancher on the outside loses a beef from 
any cause whatever away go the squaws, 
and they "pack” it home on tLeir backs; 
and dog-eating is not fiction. One day 
at recess some remark was made about 
“dog soup," and a I G-y car-ohl full blood 
turned to me and said: "Say, if I 
brought you over a plate with both dog 
and chicken on it. and you ate it, I bet 
you couldn’t tell by the taste which was 
dog and which was chicken" So accord 
ing to that statement, dog is still in 
vogue among the Cheyennes Neither is 
it a fairy tale that tlu* squaws do tin- 
work. for they surely do They cut tin- 
wood, and if at the store they make sev¬ 
eral purchases the squaw pit s the stick 
ott hpj- hark, while the husband trudges 
along with his hands in his pockets, and 
whether they drive a lumber wagon or 
a Ford truck the squaw is in behind on 
the bottom. 
Their names are peculiar, and I have 
been told that in past generations the 
names of animals were their surnames, 
and each one is given a verb or adjective 
for their given name, making Yellow 
Bear. Little Wolf and such tiutnes. hut 
this generation seems to be fond of spell¬ 
ing book names- If this be true, how did 
.Taek-Kieked-a-Hole - in - i he - Sky, Rem 
Comes Out, Tangled Yellow Hair. Bob 
tail Horse and many others earn tln-ir 
names? 
Quite a number of the men and a few 
of the squaws have been sent to different 
Indian colleges, some at Fort Shaw and 
others to Carlisle, and among the Car¬ 
lisle students is White Water, the star 
football player of 1002-1004, After he 
had won many laurels on the gridiron lie 
returned to his native haunts and mar 
ried an Indian maiden. After a few 
years he became weary of her and applied 
to the Indian Court to give him a divorce, 
the com plaint being that she put too much 
billing in the starch water for his shirts! 
The court thought the cause sufficient 
and granted hint the separation, and la* 
then married a field matron in one of the 
outlying districts. lie is now a peyote 
fiend, and his chief employment is driv¬ 
ing his wife’s conveyance from house to 
tepee and from tepee to tent, and we won¬ 
der if ou rln-sr monotonous trips he is 
thinking of the happy days when he 
traveled by special ear from city to city, 
or if he is wondering how he will manage 
to smuggle in his next supply of peyote. 
Peyote is the flower of a Mexican cactus 
and in looks, when dry, resembles an 
overgrown button. This is to the Iudian 
what opium is to the Chinese or mescal 
to the Mexican. It is strip l.v forbidden 
on the reservation and can be seized if 
sent through the mail, lmr even at that 
they manage to smuggle it in and have 
their peyote feasts. They like to claim 
that it is a religious feast, similar to 
communion. They meet, place the peyote 
on the creseeut-shaped mound inside the 
tepee and pray, sing and pound the drum 
and then take it up. One will eliew for 
a while and then pass it to the next, 
somewhat similar to the small boys chew¬ 
ing gum. DOROTHY DAY. 
Easter Lilies in th8 Garden 
T hope that II. E. P„ page 1284. will 
not he quite as wasteful of the Easter 
lily bulbs and throw them away after 
they have bloomed in tbe house, as all 
florists are of the bulbs of any sort they 
force. They will grow readily in good 
soil afterward and bloom several years. 
The lilies are much more satisfactory 
than the other spent bulbs, for they will 
practically all bloom the same Summer, 
after they are thrown out of the pots. I 
have a good sized bed of spent Easter 
bulbs that bloomed profusely, a trifle 
late, to be sure, but some of a year ago 
came our early, so that I have had them 
all Summer There are still two blos¬ 
soms (October 2S) on the bed, after 
some pretty good frosts. I shall not 
neglect any chance of adding to this col* 
lection. All that we have against these 
lilies is that they cost inure than most 
bulbs tlo. They will not. as a rule, last 
forever, though the old Tiger variety is 
practically everlasting if fairly well taken 
care of. I had some this year that grow 
about as high as my bead, and were a 
mass of blossoms. I raised most of them 
from bulblets that are borne in tbe axils 
of the leaves of this species. J.w.c.

Keep Christmas with a Kodak 
While Far too excited to dress, little Jane has 
popped into bed again to pose for a picture with 
mother’s new Kodak. 
And that only starts the fun. Even now father 
and Uncle Stan are renewing their youth in a snow¬ 
ball fight—and there’s another picture. 
Kodak is a gift that slips out of the holiday box 
into the spirit of Christmas.
