She Apache Indian has decided objection
90 posing as an artists model He does rot
understand the process, and thinks il to be
come sort Of ''nedicine7 work, the moro
avoided the better. i young gentleman Of
this city, an artist by profession, went up TO
ut. Vernon a short time ago 20 see what he
could see. He was delighted to find that the
Indian prisoners there present subjects rich
il barbaric contrasts of form and color; they
pose in @ savage kind Of way, and altogether
make pictures which an artist would De glad
70 reproduce on canvas. But they strongly
object to sitting for the portraits; in fact,
whenever tee artist came near their tents
they quickly and silently disappeared. There
might be dozsas of them in sight, but at once
they would vanish, going into their tents or
fleeing TO the bushes for cover. For couple
Of days the hunt for subjects was always
bafiied Ia this way. The Indians did not,
however, have SO great an objection to being
OF all o. their chief Ccn-
be tells OF one curious inciden: in connec-
ton with his attempts to secure painting
OF some Of the Sages:
Coming across very striking group Of
Indians, seated in 4 tent playing cards, got
on my eolors and proceeded TO paint the pic
ture. There they were squatted on the
ground inside the tent, the fiaring doorway
held back By a long pole, their brilliant red
and blue blankets on their shoulders or on
the ground Their faces all coppery and
swarth-they were Just what 1 had been try,
ing TO find for my canvas.
'Nel, as soon as l got to work they got up
and left the tent. This was q decided hint,
so 1 packed up my things and moved also.
When they saw l had gone they returned
and resumed their game. I returned also,
and resumed my work Seeing that l did
not intend to be done out Of my picture, one
Of the men got up and fastened the blanket
over the entrance. Then they continued
their card playing.
- had not finished working in the tent
and the green foliage which surrounded it,
so kept my place, while a number of In
dams gathered around and watched my
operations. When / COMPLETED all l wanted
Of the tent, and concluded did not care TO
finish ii up with blanket over its doorway,
the idea struck me l could sketch in the In
dians from my recollection of how they were
posed inside the tent, SO | went to work and
obtained the group.
u was startled by a loud exclamation Ut
tered above. 'Ughr 'Hir VIOLA wallar'
'Ughughr and 50 on, the Indians being
very greatly surprised that could paint the
people l could not see. Soma of those who
had been looking over my shoulders speeded
IN 10 the tent to tell the card players that it

plainly see right through a blanket. Then
one of the players crept from underneath the
back of a tent and making a wide circuit
came around behind me to satisfy himself
that this report was true He uttered loud
'Hy-yehr and went off to report. With this
the card players all crawled from under the
tent and took to the woods. They were
determined I should not paint them I, hav-
ing sufficient of outline work, closed pro-
ceedings and returned to my lodgings."-
