HE passing of the red man has
been commemorated in song and
story, but one local tribe remains
whose dirge is enchanted, whose glories
are unsung. 1t is tribe doomed to
speedy extinction. owing to the race
genius of It's members and the evolu-
tion of San Francisco's tobacco stores.
For many, many years the tobacco
store Indian-the flesh and blood kind,
not the wooden .one-has been with US,
but the decree of dissolution has gone
forth and we that knew him once shall
see him now no more. Time has
crooked his limbs and cracked his voice
and dimmed those eyes where danced
the light of yesterday. and not even
the thick coating of his bravest war
paint can hide the burrows in his brow
or fill the hollows in his cheek. Sunset
has fallen on his career and his feet
are set In that inevitable trail that
leads to the happy hunting ground Of
forgetfulness and rest. The time is
ripe for the great poet yet to come who
will recount in undying lines the his
tory of the tobacco store Indian.
The tobacco store Indian was and is
a nomad. He had a name-usually
nickname-but never. has any one ac-
cused him of possessing local habita-
tion. He must sleep somewhere, but no.
body ever saw him asleep. He wanders
up and down the cocktail ways OF the
city and makes long pauses at all the
tobacco stores en- route. There he leans
ever cigar counters and shakes dice un-
til luck shakes him.
The origin of his name. tobacco store
Indian has been shrouded in mystery.
Several explanations are commonly Of
fered, the most convincing of which was
given me recently by a prominent to-
bacco dealer. This tobacco dealer was

ships. In 1s4s. shortly after landing
here. and having established himself
as a carpenter. he built barge. or
lighter. on which to convey freight
from the vessels to the shore. 1t was
a profitable venture. for at that time
the freight charges on the bay were
about as high as present day trans
portation tolls from New York to San
Francisco. The barge brought in a
profit Of $50 a day. williams sold II

the idea of building a far larger
lighter. There was little lumber on
hand and that OF the very fimsiest.
