HOW INDIANS MADE HISTORY
Truth Of Their Traditions lnstaneed
BY One story From Annals Of
the Beavers.

II We could only get at the facts OF
the history OF our Indian tribes, It
would be OF interest to compare these
with what is related as the fortune
Of most civilized nations. It Is only
in tradition that the history OF the In
dian lives, and only one version OF
the story is ever heard. Sometimes
this is SO true to nature that no room
for doubt can be found. Such is the
following chapter, from the annals Of
the Beavers. a Canadian tribe.
One day a young chief shot his ar
row through a dog belonging to anoth-
er brave, The brave revenged the
death OF his dog. and instantly a hun
dred bows we're drawn. Ere night
had fallen some eighty warriors lay
dead around the camp. the pine woods
rang with the lamentations OF the
women: the tribe had lost its brav-
est men.
There was a temporary truce. The
friends of the chief whose arrow had
killed the dog yet numbered some
sixty people. and 1t was agreed that
they should separate from the tribe
and seek their fortune in the vast
wilderness lying to the south.
ln the night they began their
march; sullenly their brethren saw
them depart. never to return. They
went their way to the shores of the
Lesser Slave Lake. toward the great
plains which were said to be far
southwark, by the banks of the swift
rolling Saskatchewan.
The tribe OF the Beavers never saw
this exiled band again, but hundred
years later a Beaver Indian, who fol.
lowed the fortunes OF a white fur
hunter, found himself in one OF the
forts of the Saskatchewan. Strange
Indians were camped about the pals
AIDES; they were members of the great
Blackfoot tribe. whose hunting
grounds lay south of the Saskatche-
wan. Among them were few braves
who. when they conversed, spoke a
language different from that of the
others; in this language the Beaver
Indian recognized his own tongue

Parker Is Kind to Bryan.

Baltimore, June 2G.-The feature of
last nights session OF the convention
was the speech of Alton b. Parker as
temporary chairman. The crowds as
sembled slowly, and the convention
was a half hour late in getting down to
business. Even her the attendance of
the public was small, less than a
fourth Of the gallery space being filled.
William j.. Bryan did not attend. He
had an engagement to attend a frater-
mai gathering and had some work with
the resolutions subcommittee.
Judge Parker was cheered mildly as
he assembled the platform from which
he was TO address the convention.
Later on being introduced he was
greeted with an enthusiastic demon
stration. This was increased, inc the
convention showed a growing friendly
feeling for the temporary presiding of
fcer when he conplimented Mr.. Bryan,
asked the indulgence Of the convention
for his late adversary and urged the
convention TO honor Mr.. Bryan with
the craftsmanship of the committee on
resolutions.
The session vas opened by the Rev.
H. ID. Davis, pastor Of the First Con
gregational church OF Baltimore, who
prayed for peace and brothsrly for
bearsncs and then asked the conyen-
ton to join him In repeating the Lords
pray
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-06-26

I'VE have had a little tiff here to-
day." said Chairman Parker. "but
nothing was said to hurt the feelings
Of anybody"
The temporary chairman ended his
speech at 0:15 p. m, and the work Of
making a permanent organization was
quickly finished. 1t became evident
that the delegates do not want this
convention to be q long drawn out
affair. When Chairman Parker an
nounced that the standing committee
would meet at 10 o'clock this morning
there was a yell Of protest, and a
Michigan delegate shouted an objec-
ton and moved that the ~credeatials
committee meet Immediately after the
adjournment of the convention. Judge
Parker lost the motion in the confu-
sion and called down:
81 can't hear you"
ooh, yes, you can," said the Michi-
gander. Just try a little harder.
Don't keep us here a week. We have
no perquisites to pay our board"
On a viva yoce vote, the committees
were ordered to get busy.
A motion to adjourn the convention
until 2 p. m, today vas knocked out.
