FIRST SIGHT OF RED HAIR.

II was in Colorado in 1875" said q
resident of Cannon City, Col, to a
reporter for the Washington Post,
before the influence of the white man
vas utterly dominant. The Indians
around what is now Meeker had seen
but little of the white man and knew
comparatively nothing of him or his
ways or habits except from hearsay
and tradition. I mean to say that
there were many of them to whom the
white man was as much q curiosity as
an Indian would be to O. New York
Bowery boy. AS you see, nature saw
fit to give me q shock of carmine col
ored hair. When I first went among
the Indians they all thought it was
painted, just as they universal paint
their own bodies and faces and heads.
An old chief came up to me one day
and looked at my hair very carefully.
Ugh said he, and then turning to the
guide who had our party in charge, he
asked him to ask me where I got the
kind of paint that would color and not
be greasy or look bauby. The guide
told him that my hair wasn't painted,
but he wouldn't believe him. He came
over and once more closely scrutiniHed
my locks, running his hand over them
and then looking at his fingers. I
didn't know what he was after. Ihad
an idea that he was calculating how
nice my red scalp would look hung
about his dirty old body, and was in
clined to resent it. Our guide, how
ever, Iaughingly told me what the old
chief had said. Two or three more of
of the bucks gathered about US, and
they and the guide had q powwow.
Finally the guide asked me if I would
object to putting water on my hair
He said the Indians wouldn't believe it
waon't painted until they saw that
water wouldn't was the color out. OF
course, I took some water and rubbed
it on my hair and then showed my
hands to them. 1t took four or five
days of wandering examination to con-
vince them that 1 hadn't found some
particular fine paint and got msyelt
UP in Q bright suit of hair"
