Last Tuesday six ancient and queer
looking Indian friends of the United
States were permitted to shake hands
with the president. They were Pueblo
Indians and live in a town of their
own at Isleta, Mexico, The governor
of the town, Vicente Jirom, headed
the six Pueblos. Three of the six
were wise men of the tribe and car
ried with them walking canes pre-
sented to them i'm 1858 by President
Lincoln. The canes are never brought
out except on state occasions and to
frighten offenders. Even farther
back than the CO.'S the Pueblos were
good frit nds TO Uncle Sam, and aided
in suppressing uprisings of other In
dians. President Lincoln recognized
this friendship by ordering three
silver-headed canes to ba made for
distribution to the three leading In
dams of the tribe. TIE canes were
appropriately inscribed. They are
held in awe and reverence by the
Pueblos, who look upon them as
gifts from the "Great, Great WhitS
Father" Ifa ayoung Pueblo becomes
vicious he is quickly curbed by the
governor bringing out the cane.
