lavish living. High class Italians have
no objections whatever to dwelling over

later she went to South Carolina; as

Ability OF An Indian.

The simple facts in the biography Of
DR.. Charles A. Eastman, author of "ln-
dian Boyhood" Mcclure. Phillips & Co..
make the strongest possible brief In the
case for the recognition of the native
ability OF an Indian.
Mr.. Eastman lived for the first fifteen
years Of his life as member Of Sioux
! tribe in what we are pleased to call
"sayagery." Then brought into ciyiliza-
ton by his father. he was educated in
the white mans way" and lives that
way" today.
The significant facts.of his life are
these: that he was trained as an Indian
: fOf fifteen years, and as white man for
nearly the same length of time. Begin
ming without word Of the English
language OF civilized conception, he
prepared for college in nine years. The
average white boy, with all his advan-
tages, takes twelve. He never attended
q Government, school, but spent twelve
out Of the years of his school and college
life in leading institutions for the high
or education. Neither he nor any Of
his forbears were agency" Indians, nor
has he ever received rati0ns or annuities.
He has been for many years citizen
and a voter, as was his father before him.
Ally OuosWuU IodtlS Ills UUOkS Will W T0duy
TO admit that his literary attachments
are Ear beyound those of the ordinary
writing white man; but writing is only
Mr.. Eastman's vocation, for by profess
ion he is physician and has for many
years been Government surgeon con-
nected with the Indian Bureau.
Mr.. Eastman has succeeded through
his own efforts and through his own
superior mental equipment, and the
outcome OF his. life suggests that "Lo,
the poor Indian" isstoO~loRg an express
sion by just 80 much as the adjective
'po0r."
