cences as an Indian agent and this is
one of the stories he tells:
The Indian commissioner visited the
agency one day and asked to have aii
the Indians brought before him. that
he might make them a speech. These
were the Brule Sioux. OF whom Spotted
Tail. one of the most illustrious of IN
dians, was at the time head chief. In
the course of his address the commis-
sioner asked the Indians to quite paint
ing their faces and bodies. He told
them that none but a savage painted
his face or his body. After he / ad
finished Spotted Tail arose.
You say we are savages because we
paint our faces and bodies,' he said.
Last spring | was in Washington and
went to the presidents inaugural ball.
All the white women at that ball had
their faces painted. do not think we
are savages."
The assembled Indian shrieked With
laughter.
