Little Bison doesn't believe the race

Sitting Bull was killed A generation has
passed since then, and in reviving old Gus

and the Ghost Dance, to which solemn rites
no white men have ever been admitted,
would not form a part of our recurrent
celebrations. The last time these dances
were given was in 1879, preceding an up
rising. They are never given except when
the war spirit is abroad. There would be

The 5000 which Little Bison mentions
modestly as a sum sufficient to start this
colony would be spent for transportation
purposes and the initial expenses. There
is no colonization scheme that can show
results In one year" states Little Bison
but can do It in five l am sure"
That Little Bison is wen fitted by ap-
pearance, personality and education to be
the leader Of such cause is a fact that
is proved by a short talk with him, as well
as from the testimonials of his many
friends, He is a man OF 45 years who
looks ten years younger, lie Is stalwart

where his father and most OF his relatives
