Indians Answer a Real Triumph OF
Quiet Sarcasm.

George vaux. Jr.. OF Philadelphia.
has been appointed a member OF the
board OF Indian commissioners. Mr.
Vaux told a reporter the other day an
Indian story.
There was a certain commission

with rude scorn One day a chief en-
tertained this man in his tepee. tell
Ing him over the tobacco many quaint
legends.
One legend concerned plague OF
grasshoppers. The chief told elo-
quently how grasshoppers overran
the land, eating the grain. and how
the medicine men averted a famine
by offering a silver grasshopper 20
the Great Spirit. whereupon all that
deluge OF grasshoppers disappeared.
But the commissioner scoffed at
the tale.

said. as to believe such rubbish
