Heart toHeart
, Talks.
By EDWIN A..NYE.-
INDIAN ELoQUENcE.

INDIAN ELOQUENCE.
A striking spectacle was witnessed
near Lander, Wyo.. a few days ago.
An aged Indian chief preached a pro
hibition sermon over the grave Of hia
son. During the service scores OF
blanketed braves stood by in silence.
Wolf Bear, subchief of the Arapa-
hoe tribe, delivered the discourse at
the grave Of Leo Wolf Bear.
The young brave got drunk, lay
down on the railroad track TO sleep
aud was killed.
In the course Of his pathetic address
the venerable chief declared:
"The white mans whisky killed my
only SON."
Continuing, he said:
"You see, young men of the Arapa.
hoes, what the white mans whisky
viii do. ! don't blame the white man
for drinking his own whisky, but
hope the young men and women OF
my tribe win have more judgment
than their paleface brethren and alb
stain from firewater."
Certainly. if sincerity is the essence
of oratory, Wolf Bear is eloquent.
And if restrained feeling is a neces
sary element of a successful public
speech then this fathers stern repres
sion Of his natural emotion at the
grave of his son is the height of elo
quent self control.
The warning sounded by the old In
dian is pathetic and forceful in many
ways.
The white mans whisky has beer
the great bane Of the red mans his
tory. The educated appetite for fire
water" has lost the American Indiar
many a bargain; it has caused him Il
commit many crimes and has been a
ahe bottom of much of his race degen
eracy.
As Wolf Bear well says, the IndiaI
IS the last person who should tampel
with the white mans liquor.
Moreover
Did you note in the old mans warn
ing his appeal to the women as wei
as the men Of his tribe? That was NJ
accident OF speech.
As If TO push the race down the NOR
al toboggan slide more rapidly the In
dian women, both young and old, arr
becoming slaves TO an appetite TO
strong drink.
But here is our moral:
II the American Indian. with les
worth Of inherited character. less gain
ed ascendency Of civilization, canno
afford TO indulge in whisky. as a bey
erage without bringing upon himself
gertrude Of woe. where shall thl
white man appear?
