G. Fungus Tamarac, Brule Sioux who
is spending the summer with us, drank
bottle OK iodine that / got In Pitts
burg for my rhumatiz.
Those who opened him with suitable
exercises said that on the inside he
looked like q Mardy Graw, whatever
that is.
want you to become refined and get
pay for the bulk OF your education, but
l want you also TO learn etiquette and
roulette while east. Our table manners,
too, here on the Cherokee Strip are very
tart and taeky, l find. Even Black
Hawk, the great orator, while dining
with Lord Baltimore, am told, put
sugar and cream on his olives and blew
the pits across the room at mark.
IL is such things as these that have
kept the Indian back and induced people
TO hesitate about inviting him 10 the
annual dinner OF the bong tong.
Sitting Bull was just beginning TO OBJ
tain social recognition az Washington
when reaching across the table one day
at the White House 20 help himself 10
the Presidents kummel he dragged the
corner OF bis Pullman blanket through
the butter by mistake, and then, with q.
merry laugh. wiped IL on his hair.
This afterward imblttered his whole
life, and he hardly went out any more
after that, regarding life AZ the capital
as hollow and artificial.
1t has been the unfortunate history OF
orr eminent red men that whenever
their talents have thrown them into
good society they have almost uniyer-
sally corked themselves. Look az Red
Shirt, in Paris, and Poor Dog, in London.
Ii Is out a repetition OF our sad history
as a people.
Red Shirt during the engagement OF
the Wild West show in France was In
vited TO dine with President Carnot and
Ferdinand de LesSeps-pronounced do
Les seps-at the restaurant OF Brabant,
the French Delmonico, and when tho
pale green pistache ice cream came on,
and the finger bowl, Red Shirt, thd
great warrior, who looks almost exactly
like Napoleon, the first Emperor, In or
der to show Carnot and his gang that he
had travelled and observed great deal,
evidently took the leo cream brick for
cake OF CASTLE soap and bathed with
IL freely In the finger bowl, coming cot
after awhile 10 run along the bank ana
restore his circulation.
My dear son, the Indian nation has
suffered on account OF these things, FOR
they get into the papers and hurt Us.
You must learn not only the habits OK
the Modes, the Persians and the Free
Will Baptists, but how 20 bold your
knife at table. That is what you ara
there for. That IS what | am beeting
the old COW for. That Is what / am
going TO wear your old baseball suit
next to me this winter for. That Is why
your mother weeps at night ahd wears
your pajamas by day.
Poor Dog hurt our people as much ia
England rs Black Hawk did us good by
his speeches. lie WAS invited 20 dine In
the royal grounds, they tell me, and
while the party was strolling through
the grounds, the Queen having been
frightened by mouse, Poor Dog, think
ing to show his gallantry, gave chase 20
the mouse, ana when he caughtit under
tho chair OF the Princes Alexandra ate
IL In order to show her majesty that
there was no deception about 10.
These matters OF history connected
with the rise and fall OF the red man
give me pain In the neck. You may
redeem your people. my son, and aston
ish these pilgrims who came hear TO our
country because they couldn't make Il
living in Europe, and who now ask US
to work for them and take an order on
the store.

hand OF Demi.Johnson, and he grows
weary with much writing, so Iwill soon

Ing you once more to weigh well what l

As said at the beginning, | am an

race. You can do II II you will. Como
