the Sultan of Turkey present of a
life-siZe figure of a Sioux Indian chief.
The figure will present chief arrayed
for war dance, i'll war blanket and
moccasins, his costume decorated with
profusion of beads. If the sultan had
picked war chief at the height of his
glory from the band in Dakota, he
would not have more realistic speci-
men than the one prepared for him at
the Smithsonian institution.

stitution made trip to Turkey, i'll the
summer of 1896, he was accompanied

alist. The sultan presented them with
several albums of magnificent photo.
graphs, and intimated that he would
be only too glad to send contribution
to the national museum.
1t was naturally thought proper that
these courtcsies should be reciprocated,
and Secretary Langley came to the con.
clusion that there could be no more ap.
propriate gift than one that would be
typical of the aboriginal life of this
country Orders were given to con.
struct the figure of a Sioux chief, and
this, after long care and study, has
just been completed. The figure will
be boxed and shipped to the sultan this
week. 1t will be accompanied by q
number of articles used i'll domestic
and martial liz, by the Sioux.
