says the Philadelphia Times. she is a

Of the instincts Of her tribe. For instance
she is very fond of bright colOrs and will
sit for hours sewing on pieces OF gay silk
ana strlng1ng beads. Although only
three years Of age, she Is proficient In the
first accomplishment Of good wife; she
can sew on a button.
Her story is one Of great interest and
pathos. She was found on the battle
field Of Wounded Knee Creek in her dead

General Colby was at that time in COM

protecting the frontier. He took the baby
and arranged with Yellow Bird TO have
it cared for until he should be able to
