A Wonderful Little Beast When Moving
Day Comes.
The travaux pony furnishes the sole
means of transportation of the Indian
camp, except sometimes a dog hitched
to diminutive tranieau, and, weight
for weight, drags on his tepee poles
more than the best mule in Uncle
Sans service does on an army wagon.
When camp is broken the squaws strip
the tent poles Of their buffalo skin COW
erings, and it is these poles which fur
nish the wheels of the Indian vehicle.
The Blackfoot makes the neatest
trappings for the travaux ponies and
pack saddles The pony is fitted with
huge leather bag. heavily fringed,
and gaudy with red and blue flannel
strips and beads of many colors. Over
this goes the pack saddle, which is not
very dissimilar to the riding saddle. and
has perpendicular pommel and cantle;
and in the pommel is notch to receive
one end of the tepee poles. which are
sometimes bound together two or three
on each side. and trailing past either
flank of the pony, are held in place by
two pieces of wood lashed to the poles
just behind his tail In the socket so
made rides the pardeche, sort of raw
hide trunk, and this receives the camp
utensils, plumber, children, sometimes
an old man or woman, puppies and all
the other camp impedinenta; while a
squaw rides behind the pack saddle on
the pony, indiiferently astride or side
wise with her feet on the poles, and
perhaps youagster bestrides its neck.
Thus laden. the wonderful little beast,
which is rarely up to fourteen hands,
plods along all day. covering unheard-
of distances. and living on bunch grass,
with "a mouthful of water now and
again.
There are apt to be several ponies to
carry the plumber of the occupants of
one tepee. and often one of them is
loaded down with the rougher stuff,
while a second may be decked with the
fnery and carry only one squaw; par
ticularly if she happens to be a new
purchase and favorite of the chief.
A squaw is usually about as good a
horseman as her buck, and rides his
saddle or bare back with as much ease
as city woman rocks in her chair.
Indeed, it is not uncommon to find
women in the fighting ranks and doing
mans full duty Col. T. A. Dodge. in
