CHICAGO, June 26.-"We will make

These were the words of George W.
Perkins, supporter of Col. Roosevelt,
and one of the leaders in the third

plies the vast amphitheater for the
merrymaking, while the white breth-
rem will come from far and near to
make the necessary vast audience, for
the Indian loves ceremony and pic
turesque surroundings and in conse-
quence takes his enjoyment more
heartily when he occupies the center
of the stage.
Among the Sioux tribes there has al
ways been a custom Of making pres
ents on occasions Of ceremony and
when great numbers are gathered. In
former days, when thousands were
sometimes assembled for the hunt, the
waiting time In camp was often en-
livened by people in one band making
presents to some In another. The
'giveaway" was also practiced at
funerals by the relatives Of the de-
ceased, with the general result of beg
caring them. The best gifts went to
those who walled the loudest. When
visitors from a distance came to see a
man the publicity of the event acted
on him as a stimulant. just as publici-
ty does with white people. Under this
stimulus the host sometimes gave his
most valuable property to his guests.
While this custom is in general prac-
tice throughout all the Sioux tribes,
there is no hard and fast rule for car
rying it out. Each Indian strives to
make some striking and unusual dis
play Of his generosity. There are nc
committees to apportion the gifts or to
dictate in any name whatever how
one shall dispose of his property. The
popular voice, however, has much to
do with ones satisfaction in giving.
Woe unto him who undertakes a sneak
of any sort. Each giver must, to gain
applause, give the best he has. And, as
a rule, the one who gives with the re-
hottest hope of reward Is acclaimed the
loudest. While a professional orator
is always on hand to announce the
gifts where the g1vers are too t1mid to
do SO, one who can make his own
speech always receives applause. In
late years visiting bands Of old heredi-
tary enemies have carried away the
greatest prizes. An Indian loves to re-
ceive gifts so well that some compen-
satory feature must balance his loss in
order to make generosity tolerable with
him. As in occasional cases he loves
publicity more than he loves his prop
erty the ~"giveaway" Is an escape valve
for his vanity.-Philadelphia Press.
