a FINE sPEEoH BY AN INDIAN.

The speech of Chief George
Moses of the Nez Perces at the
conclusion of the war dance was
a model of Indian eloquence.
Prefacing his remarks by stating
that the war dance just complet-
ed had been given with q desire
to assist in the entertainment of
the guests of the Lewiston Inter
state Fair, Moses said
In the circle of warriors back
Of me, who have just given a
war dance for your pleasure, are
the sons of those chiefs and war
riors of the tribe who SO wears
ago welcomed the intrepid ex-
plorers, Captains Lewis and
Clark, when they had crossed
the Bitter Root mountains and
entered the land of the Nez Per
ces. Their forefathers then re-
ceived the white men as friends.
OF their few goods they gave
largely. The Indians slender
stock of camas and couse, of
dried roots, berries. genison, elk
meat and fish was depleted that
the starving party of whites
might be fed. The party was
guided to safe camping places.
The Indians assisted in the con
struction of canoes in which the
party of white men made the
voyage down the Clearwater.
Snake and Columbia rivers to
the sea. All this was done in
loving friendship.

that. If you are satisfied with
opportunity thrust upon you,
whether it is desired or not,
am not. We borrow from a
world we do not make, and we
pay back to generation we shall
not see. We toll, more from
social habit than from social
duty; since it is considered a
shame to be idle. Even gener-
osity and kindness have become
social habits, because anything
else does not pay so well. We
are thus driven by force out
side of ourselves, that sets up
and pulls us down like puppets.

Mr.. BRIGHT: You are worse
dreamer than any of us Think
a minute What else could be
the arrangement for living
things that take their origin
from others, then grow, then
mature I? Without continual re-
moval there could be no really
effective life. If we can mature,
then must it be that we can pass
beyond that point and SO cumber
the ground. This is material
view, but true of leaves and true
of us. am content to go even
if my share in work is small. 1t
is real to me, and | give it gladly
to greater than myself-the
race that owns me, that saves
me from unthinkingness, that
serves me in the things and
deedssof the past and nerves me
to a confident giving of effort
towards things that are to be
but whose glories mine eyes
shall not see.
Rev. Mr.. CLEAR That is al
most my thought, dear eager
soul. Think of the dignity of a
man or a woman given up to
great causes. Think of the com
pelling grandeur of association
with some great, age growing
ideal of humanity, in every least
endeavor swelling a tide that
sweeps along towards better
condition. This brings to sight
the greatness of the least who
do their little in purity of motive.
Worth is not measured in the
spiritual world by millions nor
by acres The leaf flutters down,
without sense of rendering back
a trust. We feel more than that;
life had Great Source; the end
of life is AN accounting. Spirit
ual life is more than that; it is a
consciousness of never ending
with the Great Source
and with the Prophets, Seers,
Masters, Teachers, who have
spoken of Him to listening

good, honest Winter nor fruitful,
Autumn. The feet do, ofcourse,
make a cheerful rustling in the
leaves, and a fragrance arises
from the ground; yet the sights
and sounds spell Death" to me.
Give me the sibilance of the wind

and the scented breezes of Spring

/ shiver at it and not from cold.
Mr.. BRIGHT Yes, yes; it is
the very image of dying. But
the trees remain Only the
leaves have fallen. The leaves
die but the tree lives more abun-
dainty. They breathed the sun
shine and air into its being; they
gave out purity to a breathing
world of creatures. Their work
has ceased, but it is not ended;
for their toll, by natures wond-
erful alchemy, stands fast in
terms of tree-strength and puri-
fed air. / think it fairer and
pleasanter to think of the dying
year as lull between activities;
not death but rest; not oblivion
but change.
REV. @. CLEAR There is a
parable 10 the sere and golden
leaves as they lie in my path.
They are to me a voice of deep
things, things that go far below
surface being. What is the out
ward and visible but a vanishing
thing ? 1t is the hidden and
spiritual that endure. The out
ward leaf is nothing; its invisible
work is all. Why weep over it !?
AS with every living soul the
deed done and the motive thereof
are the realities of life. / grant
that you, Miss Littlegray, grasp
the poetic sadness of the dying
year, but the idea is untrue to
the great facts of life, where is
no real sadness except that
which comes from making no en-
deavor to share in the great
worlds work.
Miss DIFFERENTIATION par
able is then that the leaves are
human beings and the tree is the
great over-soul of one human
family; that we live best who
give ourselves unmurmuringly
to this great conservator of
doing. That is an encouraging
idea for us women, but rather
cold comfort too. We serve our
day even more humbly than the
men. We have not even the
semblance of recognition. Poor
women They are less than the
least of the leaves swirling in
the wind outside tonight. The
papers are full of the deeds Of
men and the misdeeds of women,
but who chronicles the real work
of women +?

does. The deeds of women make
the deeds of men. Is there an

years the Nez Perces as race
have held the white man in blood
brotherhood. AT all times have
the great majority of the tribe
been willing to protect and de-
fend the family of the white man
as his own. With this undisput-
ed history of the Nez Perces'
peaceful and friendly associa-
ton with the white race before
you, we ask that you look upon
our fading race with respect.
We ask your friendship and as
sistance in fitting ourselves for
the duties of American citizen
ship. Help us to the benefits of
free schools and churches and
other good gifts that white men
enjoy and profit by. We are
ready to appreciate the benefits
of citizenship and would willing
ly exercise the voting privilege
in assisting in securing good
government. But we are still
children in com prehension. The
complex objects and aims Of the
white mans government are to
us mysteries. We only know
the rule of the chiefs and patri-
archs-the law making of the
council fires. with the execution
of its DEGREES on the warpath,
marked with the bodies of the
scalped and slain"
"Oh, white man p continued
the orator, standing with out
streatched right arm, the hand
grasping an eagle feather, while
with the other arm he folded
about him his blanket robe of
somber color, "look at these war
riors, the few feeble remnants of
our once all powerful armed ar
ray. You see in them only the
faded shadow of a once all pre-
vading power among the savage
nations of the northwest. Time
was when we ruled these hills
and valleys and no man came or
went save by the consent and
desire of the tribe. This point
where now stands this prosper
Gus city, trading and trafficking
for wealth, was once the meeting
place of all the scattered branch
es of our people. Here we as
sembled on each recurring aut-
umn to offer thanks to the Great
Spirit for his watchful help and
to supplicate the continuance of
his favoring smile.
Then the Nez Perez was a
king-free as the bird whose
winged fight the river mirrored.
His thought was of the highest
of which he knew. Kind to his
friends. severe to his enemies,
he gave of his best to the Great
Spirit ungrudgingly. And yet
the white man came, was receiv-
ed as brother and the glory of
the Nez Perez departed, never to
return. The sun no longer gilds
the deer skin tepees on thous-
and hillsides; the warrior does
not count the scalps he has TAX
en- in battle and ambush by the
eagle feathers in his war bonnet;
the modest Indian maiden no
longer has the Great Spirit for
a brave husband, nor the young
wife make offerings for hand
some boys. With the conquest
of the white man has apparently
come to the Indian only the vices
OF the conqueror. And yet I see
the light of better days to come.
The remnants of the race will
know and appreciate the good
ambitions of the white man, and
will follow them. When this
comes, there will be the dawning
of a new and better day. The
old glories of our race will not
return, but better glories will
have taken their place. The
boast of the Nez Perces hun
dred years ago We have CON
quered our enemies, will be
changed to the happy cry We
