In eastern Oregon there was a few years
ago a superb family. The husband was a
tall dark eyed Frenchman. At one time fol-
quite a period he was the trusted agent Of
the government. There were three beauti-
full daughters. In grace of figure and move

accomplishments of gifted women, few could
surpass them. The wife and mother, how

their rough neighbors often remind us of
the ancient Israelites and their strange

In the tribe of Dan, Samson, the son of
Manoah, was born about the year 1856 be-

A like tale, thoroughly true, repeats itself
in the neighborhood of hundreds of our
Indian tribes. On our frontiers. when W

Spanlard, Mexican, Frenchman, English or
American. who married an Indian woman,
was called a ''squaw man." and in a few

We have hardly visited a tribe of Indians
