.toucd away, T. joined the festive
crowd and was soon on regular
tear" Ii so happened that the In
dians had been committing some
dcviltry in the neighbOrhood. and
the probability of a general outbreak
was the prominent topic of conversa-
ton. Il. considered himselfa man
of great executive ability, and as sum
dry drinks had made him rather
lively, he proposed active measures
at once, and with an Arkansas yell
suggested war dance to commence
with. The boys responded, and
soon the crowd was engaged in per-
formance that would have made the
liveliest tribe this side of the Rocky
Mountains ashamed. T. was con-
spicuous! With an appalling whoop,
he skincd his coat. Another yell.
and of came his buckskins. Snatch
ing an old saddle blanket and throw
ing it over his shoulders, he danced
first on one leg, and then on the
other; he squatted, pirouettcd, and
waltzed and jumped like an excited
savage till the crowd stopped in
breathless admiration. r. was fran
tic with delight. lie was Big Inun!
Observing an old fashioned dinner
pot standing in corner of the camp,
he concluded that it would add much
to his warlikc appearance and just
cap the climax, which it certainly
did. TO seize it and thrust his head
into it was the work of moment !;
to get his head out was another
thing. Another drink and away
went the dance led by tho now in
vincible warrior. Forth from the
iron circumference came the most
ghostly yells; the blanket flew wild
ly; Il. bounded ard leaped and
yelled, till at last in a moment of
desperate frenzy while making a cut
at an imaginary foe, the pot slipped
over the warriors nose, and there it
stayed. The crowd roared and danced
round the imprisoned chief, but in a
short time the situation became very
uncomfortable. The bottle was passed,
but unfortunately the neck would
not pass the edge of T.'s helmet.
Efforts to release him were unavail-
ing; nature had provided him with
a proboscis of extraordinary dimen-
sions, and large portion of head
was behind his cars. Stretched on
the ground,
"Hc lay like warrior taking his rest,
With his iron pot around him."
Matters were becoming serious. T.'s
lips were getting parched, his head
was swelling, but the pot wouldn't
give a hairs breadth and pitsous
groans, like voice from tho tomb,
came from the sonorous depths of
the unyielding prison. Various plans
to release the prisoner were proposed.
One suggested blowing up the pot
with powder. but T. objected rs we'll
as he was able; another proposed to
build a fire around the pot and melt
il off, bat the warrior writhei in
agony .; the idea OF having his clas-
SIC head roasted ike 4 Irish potato.
