INDIAN SIGNAL TALKS.
SIX Methods by Which They Send
Long Distance Messages.

LOAR Othtt1ACc NAGSSAkC Ss
American Indians have a universal sign
language without regard to tribal dialects.
Long distance signals are sent with light
ninglike rapidity, and messages so be-
tween distant points quicker than ordinary
telegraph messages with the messenger
boy attachment. The especial war signals
are in six divisions--the pony, the blan-
ket, the mirror, smoke, fire arrows, flint
and steel, and we might add drawings and
sketches. On a distant bluff pony and
rider begin to run around in small circle
or ring, racing for dear life. AS if by
magic, the plain becomes alive with red
men, who seem to come out Of the ground
with the commotion Of an army Of ants.
The signalman holds up his blanket by
each corner. meaning attention; then,
wigwagging his blanket, he says, 1.-THE
enemy is discovered 1000 strong" At
last he holds up his blanket as a sign for
the warriors to disperse, and they at once
melt into the earth like falling snow in a
lake.
Another signalman, on a distant hill
overlooking the village, flashes the news
with small mirror 80 the old men, war
women and wives, not forgetting, how
ever, to flash 1t to the tepee of his sweet
heart, who suddenly finds it imperative to
60 for firewood in the direction OF the
well known flash. Two straight lines OF
blue smoke going upward indicate VIC
tory, two being the Indian lucky number,
or maybe at night tenderfoot notices
some falling stars in pairs. Burning ar
rows, said our guide.
Among the red pipe clay beds and the
bluffs Of the Big Muddy river strange
sketches of tomahawks and broken pipes,
drawn with the points of knives in the
soft and pliable clay, appear at intervals,
letting us know that war Is on. Suddenly
coming upon village, we find that the
bucks have returned in the night very
quietly, the Indian method of admitting
an overwhelming defeat.
In speaking Of the mirror signals, an
Indian said: Surprising few of us were
at talk in the lodge. We got hungry.
One said So-and-so had plenty to eat. ]
go to his tepee and hint that it might be
well to cook something, and when all is
done I go outside and flash to each friend
that it is ready. They come in one by
one, as if by accident and, of course, are
