The officers Of the Indiana brigade hela "a

tent. Considerable routine business Was
disposed OF, but nothing Of Importance out-

upon. The question Of pushing the claims
OF indianapolis for the encampment in lS..e

looking to the appointment OF committees
was taken. Ii was brought out in the meet
ing last night that indianapolis will have

next encampment. Louisville. 50 the In

AN INDIAN RoY,s TRAINING.
bringing Up YquRs Sioux In the Way lie
chSMia e.,

bringing Up YpuRg Sioux In the Way He
Shonid Go.
The training OF the Sioux begins
when he listens to the songs of war,
the songs Of the chase, and tho songs
of the "Great Mystery" or Wakan-
tanka; and these are the lullabies
which NJ heard in our infancy. Of
course't there were some boys who were
deprived of the training they needed,
even in wild life; but the true and low
ing parents were as ambitious and
hopeful for their children as any civil
lied and educated parents could be.
Very early the Indian boy assumed
the task of preserving and transmit
ting the legends and stories of his an
cestsrs and his race. Almost every
evahing myth, or legend of some
deed done in the past. was narrated by
one of the parents or ac@ndparents,
and to it the boy listened with parted
mouth and shining eyes. On the fol-
loving evening he was usually required
to repeat b II he was nos AN apt
scholar, he struggled long with has
task; but as r3le, the Indian boy is
good listener and has good memory,
SO that the stories were tolarably well
mastered The household became his
audience, by whom he was alternately
criticised and applauded.
This sort Of teaching at once enlight-
ems the boys mind and stimulates his
ambition. His conception of his own
irresistible force Whatever there is
for him to acquire must be acquired;
whatever qualifications are necessary
to a truly great warrior and hunter,
he must seek at any expense of danger
and hardship. Such was the feeling
of the imaginative and brave young
Indian.
1t becomes apparent to him early in
life that he must accustom himself to
rove alone, and not to fear or dislike
the Impressions o. solitude, but ac-
quaint himself thoroughly with nature.
Much has been said about Indian chill
dren's ''instlncts. - To be sure. we in
herited some of the characteristics of
our ancestors, but the greater part of
our faculties we had to acquire by
practice All the stoicism and patience
of the Indian are acquired traits. Phys
zeal training and dieting were not
neglected. (. remember | was not a
lowed to drink beef soup or any warm
drink The soup was for the old men.
The general cules for the young were
never to eat their food very hot, nor to
drink much water.
My uncle, who educated me, was a
severe and strict teacher. When left
his teepee for the day, he would say to
me: 'Hakada, watch everythiH2
closely and observe its characteristics
and at evening, on my ret,fvh, he used
to cateehize me for an hour or SO. "On
