that WAY.

nAI WAL
Farmer Cuff once gave utterance
to a. exclamation bhat has become
classic to the elders Of this reser-
yation. It was away back In those
days when this reservation was
not; when the United States In
dian agency for the fChippewas
was located upon the eastern
high bank Of the Crow Wing
river, 8 few miles above its con-
fusnee with the Mississippi.
Opposite the mouth Of the Grow
Wing river was the village of
Grow Wing, the old homo of SO
many Of the present residents of
this reservations and the final
rendezvous before leaving for their
hames, of the various bands of In
dians, WHO had been summoned
from North, Ease and West to re-
ceive and acknowledge receipts Of
blankets, clothes and other art
icles Of merchandise, and the very
hard cash which the Great Father
at Wash-ton- DONG had sent out to
them in fuIflImeRt of treaties
long drawn out. Here to we're
tie headquarters of the various
traders who did business through
out she wooded and prairie re-
gions Of northwestern Minnesota
The community wss not large.
and rs usual in limited circles of
population, the interests, both
solemn and gay, were close. A
death cast a shadow In every
household and all became mourn
ers. The lowering Of the stork
over the roof Of any domicile,
brought satisfaction to the heart
Of every man, woman and child
within the village limits. For
veal o. woe, all was as one; in
evil reports and good reports all
felt IS ono the shame OF the OK
altation accompanying the good
.,r the bad act. It was in this
spirit Of union, that particularly
the sports and amusemehts Of the
ssmmanity we're entered into. A
aame Of lacrosse between the visit
inR club Of fnlls and the halfs
drew the entire community out
upon the prairie to witness the
mad scramble for victory. This
vas the occasional sport, but chat
which may be looked upon as the
regular thing was the dance.
Hardly 4 week passed but that
the open door yawned for the
nimble footed.
In later years an old store be-
oame the hall : where the dance
took place. What had been the
support Of shells being OF suffci-
mt brssdth, became the seat OF
che mighty fiddler to whose strains
musical and muscular the. dancers
ouadrilled or jisged,, for they
knew nothing Of the Partisan
waltz, or it's arm in arm allies.
And besides, of what avail would
have been such knowledge since
Joe Aaon, the eatgut scraper, did
not include compositions of three
uuarter time. in his repertoire.
And again the community was
toe strenuous to Indulge ia the
dolce farnisnte Of the dangerous
waltz.
So It was that swarthy, long.
haired, hawk faced Joe, sawed out.
only tunes to which the dancers
could nimbly capeT.
who Of us older ones cannot re-
member Joe upon his perch, play
;nr neither by note or by ear, but
-by main force. His music was
,of the parentage of Scotland,
