To Fit the Crime.

According to popular belief, fostered
by story writers generally, Indians
look down upon their wives and make
them simply beasts Of burden. That
the 'squaw' is, however, sometimes re-
garded by them as something more
than an equivalent for so many cattle,
is shown by the following: A good
many years ago a warrior of the Pen
ohscett tribe in New Hampshire got
drunk. When he came home he wal
in a bad humor, and finding his wife
in his way be stuck her feet in the fire
and burned them. The other Indians
discovered this promptly, and tried
him by a very summary process. The
general opinion was that he should be
executed forthwith; but one of the elder
bucks interposed and gave this advice:
"No shoot him: make him live long
as squaw live; him carry squaw when
she want walk; when squaw die bime-
by, then we Shoot This advice ap-
pealed to the other men, and they de-
cided to punish the buck as the old
chief suggested. So the buck carried
his wife about on his back, whenever
the tribe moved, whenever she wanted
to 60 anywhere. However much he
disliked the arrangement, he did not
dare to ill-treat her, much less to kill
her, because his life depended on hers.
Whether the woman died first or the
man, and whether he was finally par
doned or executed, is not recorded.
