Indians Fondness for DANCING.

Like all The rest OF his red skinned
brethren, the Crow Indian dearly
loves the dance An Indian Will drop
his hay.ng in the face Of a thunder
storm TO 90 to a dance, and a squaw
will forget all her hifalutin college
education at the prospect of keeping
step to the magic beating Of those
tomtOmS.
The music of the dance represents
the summons of the ages-it is the
call Of the wild which the Indian can
not resist The best and most indust-
rious succumb to its wiles.
The Government is trying to stop
Indian dancing on all the reserva-
tons. for the reason that an Indian
will do nothing but dance when he is
given free rein. Crops and blooded
stock and all the higher ideals of civil
llzatiOn would soon go to smash on
the reservation if the Indians were
allowed to dance when and where
they pleased. So, beyond a few
dances, given e. stated intervals, and
a big dance fest" at the time Of the
annual fair, the Crows have very
little of their favorite enjoyment, un
less one counts the dances that are
held on the sly.-Denver Republican
