THE BUFFALO (With Original Drawing). 
BY BROOKS RED EAGLE (AGULA), 
An Indian boy of 14, from Pine Ridge Agency, Dakota; only sixteen months in the East; now at the Educational Home, 
West Philadelphia, Pa. 
I have seen a great many Buffaloes before I came here. The buffalo has two horns 
on the head and it has two eyes and has big head. The buffalo has four feet and four 
legs and a tail and has teeth. It can eat with teeth, and has two jaws and one chin. 
The buffalo has lots hair on the body; it makes them warm when the winter time, and 
the buffalo has two ears; it can hear with it, and can drink water and eat the grass 
every day, and the buffalo can run very fast when the Indians hunting. The buffalo 
has one tongue and has sharp horns; it can kill somebody and the buffalo lives out the 
west and the buffalos hair grow on the winter times. Buffalo has a nose, it can smell 
with it and they eat the green grass in the summer times, so they are fat, and the buf¬ 
falos like to lay down on the ground when they are tired and they can swim on the 
water and can walk on the ground and some buffalos kill man and sometimes kill each 
other and the Indians like hunting the buffalos.

vation, and illustrated, when possible, by original drawings.
