Very little attention had been gwen the Indian, except 10 rid the country ef them as rapidly as possible, until within the past few years, when We began 10 realize that a race of peo- pie who have been so cruelty treated afs fast becoming extinct Too little Is known of the Indians, hence the be- lief thai sasagery Is their chief instinct. Let me say right here, that, many n mother of today could learn a good les sen from the savage squaw and her illtle papoose. The youngsters in an Indian wigwam are the dominating factors. Such love and tenderness for the otfspring Is seldom shown among white mothers. Twas this love and tenderness that was bestowed on the white squaw, or rather white papoosa, when rthe heroine Of our staIy at the age Of four was found by the Chippe- wa, Miehabo, alone in the forest hy the side of her dead father, and taken io his wigwam, where he and his sqoaw, Ampata. who having no chil. dren, loved and cared for her as their own, hiding her when white people came around fearful That she might be taken from them. The N hite Sqaaw reaches the age of eighteen without having seen white woman, that she can remember. The first one to come under her obserS ation proves to be her sister, who is of decidedly different fype-beiag a beautiful blonde. The two sisters being in love with the same man, the sacrifice, and the love of Jacques 1autier for the white squaw, gives Us a play. though clean, full of comedy, heart interest and exception ally strong dramatic situations.n
