THE INCLUDED BRIDEGROOM.
Room for instructions on How to Look
Properly Happy.

From the washington Post
A thoughtful young man of Washington
was heard to decry the fact the other day
that while there is deluge of don'ts and
dos for the bride to follow-how to enter
the church, how TO behave during the
ceremony, what to wear, and so on
the bridegroom must shift for himself
There is absolutely nothing to guide a
man but his own awkward self, and It
isn't fair" he said. Prom the time a
girl is old enough to hear, she under
stands the Importance of having things
done properly at q wedding. while the
prospective groom is something necessary
to complete the picture, but a secondary
consideration. and nothing short of inspi-
ration can get a man through a marriage
ceremony gracefully.
"In order to impress the bride and spec
tators that he Is enthusiastic about 1t, he
appears with a sort of frozen grin on his
face that you expect to melt at any mo-
ment and run down his collar. If he is
too frightened to respond in a loud voice
some of the brides girl friends will whis-
per that he was unwilling from the first
again, II he replies in a loud, stern
voice, another bunch in another direction
of the church will huddle together and
express how glad they are that they arc
not marrying him, while the attitude Of
many is that they are signing away their
life and all worth living for. So l think 1t
about time" concluded the thoughtful
young man, that somebody Is writing a

POOR LOS ONLY HOPE is
HAPPY HUNTING GROUND
BY PAUL COOK.

against the dictates of civilization are
mockery. The Indian is as much out of
place in the twentieth century as the
Turk in Europe. Isolated as he is In the
heart of the great American people, he Is
like chip afloat on the ocean and he will
In the end be swamped just as certainly.
Firewater, pestilence, war, and the in
ability to adapt themselves to changed
conditions account for the rapid decrease
In the numbers of the North American
Indians Like the bison, and almost as
rapidly, they are passing from the land
which they formerly ruled over with I'M
disputed sway, and before many more
years they will live only in song and
story As they go they leave nothing be-
hind them except the names which desig-
nate so many of our states and rivers.
The Indians are essentially dying race,
a handful of simple children of the forest
whose unfortunate destiny prohibited
their being either civilized or absorbed
and doomed them to oblivion. Truly the
noble red man should direct his gaze to-
ward the happy hunting ground, where
there is stewed dog all the time and the
white man Is unknown, for there Is moth
ing left for him In America.
To one who has delighted in the legends
of Cooper and writers along similar lines,
the spectacle which the modern Indian
presents dressed in brogans, jeans, and
SLOUGH hat, with a stogy in his mouth
and a bottle of cheap whiskey in his
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1903-05-10

After taking away everything else from
the noble red man the American people
are now depriving him of his picturesque
name. Pathetic spectacle! Instead of such
euphoneous patronymics as Oldham
Afraid-of- His Horse and walk Under
the-Ground," a new crop of Smiths and
Joneses will be inflicted on long-suffer-
ing public. This is indeed the last step In
the blotting out of the North American
Indian.
The recent action of the government or
fcials draws attention again to this I'M
fortunate race and reveals how rapidly
they are passing away. Four hundred
years ago there were about l6,OOO,OOO IN
dams in this country, scattered from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Today there are
not SOC, 600, and they are huddle> together
on half a dozen reservations in the west.
Most of them are absolutely dependent on
the bounty of Uncle Sam. Bewildered by
the onward rush of progress and uncere-
moniously showed here and there by the
strenuous Americans, the red men stand
apart, existing in the the twentieth cen
fury but not of it, a mere handful of
aborigines who have been left stranded
by the flight of time.
The average Indian of today Is a cara
cature, q travesty on his prototype of
colonial times and his feeble protests
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1903-05-10

orgies with absolute Indifference to the
demands of civilization, while a crowd of
gaping tourists look on. They have little
respect for clothes and In their ball games
and other sports go stark naked, with the
exception of clout about the loins.
Yet among all The race tragedies that
this grim old world has witnessed none
has been more pathetic than that of the
Indians especially In Mexico and Peru,
where they were ground under foot for
no worthier cause than the lust of gold
In North America the white race had
more justice on its side, but who can
view the Indians sullen, bitter struggle
for the land of his fathers without lit
tie sympathy and more admiration? He
was cruel, 1t is true, and also treacherous,
but those characteristics were and are not
peculiar to him alone.
He was fighting for home and fireside,
for the freedom of the forest, that he had
called his own for we know not how many
ages before the advent of the white man.
We should excuse many things In a peo-
pie warning for their native land, their
primitive customs, and the graves of their
fathers. 1t was not to be expected that
a race Of primeval savages would observe
the amenities of civilized warfare. They
were not so much to blame and they had
much to goad them on.
The Indians in their early struggles re-
sembled the Americans in the revolution,
only the Indians were fighting against an
Inhalation and the Americans for political
freedom.
The completeness with which the In
dian race has been swept from North
America is remarkable. Nearly all other
primitive peoples have left their marks
behind them. But where is the relic of the
Indian, save a few pitiful graves and a
host of picturesque names? He has been

pocket is both pathetic and ludicrous 1t
is calculated to shock those aesthetic ma
lures who have pictured him In his former
glory.
AS a rule the modern Indians are lazy,
shiftless lot, and If 1t were not for the
bounty of the United States government
would starve to death They seem to
have reaped all the evils of civilization
and none of the advantages. They are
without ambition and are content to drift
along to final oblivion without raising a
finger.
Of course there are exceptions. There
are one or two full-blooded Indians who
are turning out very fair novels today,
and the lively young bucks at the Car
Isle school have butted the wind out of
Harvards foot ball line very successfully.
Then there are some who are successful
farmers in the west, and others have
amassed wealth in various ways. There
Is even an Indian paper published in the
Territory, called the "Choctaw Citizen"
1t is printed partly in Choctaw and partly
in English and is a very presentable
sheet. However, the Indian custom of
making the women do all the work Is
illustrated in this instance, for a squaw
does the editing.
Yet these evidences of progress are the
exception rather than the rule. The ma
jority of the Indians have made practi-
cally no advancement and are almost as
primitive as they were 400 years ago. AS
an evidence of this compare them with the
negroes. Four hundred years ago the an
cestors of the negro were bowling canni-
balls in the wilds of Africa. Today there
is no comparison in the progress of the
Indian and that of the negro.
One can go out west and see them dane
ing around half naked and decked in bar
barrie splendor celebrating one of their

swept away, leaving practically not
trace behind him. In a few more decades
he will quietly make his exit, unaccom-
panied by the applause of his fellows or
the thunders of war, marking last des-
perate struggle. He will simply cease to
exist
The place which the Indians hold among
the races of the world is a peculiar one.
They have no land, no power, no real
rulers They subsist on the bounty of a
conquering nation. They have no civill-
cation they can call their own, no laws
and no religion. They are strangely out
of place in this twentieth century, re-
splendent with brilliant discoveries, art.
literature, and the thousand marks of
progress. They have contributed moth
ing and ahve received reluctantly the adj
vantages of civilization which have been
offered to them.
Today, If North America were suddenly
returned to its primeval state and II all
trace of the white man were spirited
away the Indian would instantly return
to the savage life he loves and in fifty
years a traveller reaching these shores
would never know that the red man had
ever come In contact with the white race.
Holding proudly aloof the Indian with
his grunt, his pipe and his stoieal silence,
is passing away, leaving no foot prints
on the sand of time. He Is bound for the
happy hunting ground, which is, perhaps,
after all, the best place for him. and In
that pleasant country he will probably
have a better time than he has had In
North America since the white man first
touched its shores.
