Ordinary Mortal Had 20 Wait While
Budding Genius Secured Founda-

A Brooklyn drug clerk tells OF a
man who came into his shop for the
purpose Of consulting the directory.
He stood first on one foot and then
on the other, watching the young
woman who had got possession Of the
volume. She was a nice, leisurely
sort Of young person, and she had a
large sheet Of paper that she spread
out upon the counter beside the direc-
tory, and on which she now and then
inscribed a name from the volume.
The man became a little impatient
He coughed significantly, and the
young woman turned to look at him.
Il beg your pardon" she said. but
do you wish to consult the directory"
Now, as the young woman was pret-

the other and said uneasily: No
hurry; don't let me disturb you"
Whereupon she resumed the direc-
tory. Several minutes elasped. At
last she closed the book with a sigh
of satisfaction. Thank you" said
she, sweetly. Il am afraid l. have

handing down TO posterity a complete
pictorial history of their tribe. For
nearly a year these Indians have been
working at this with the result that
they have daubed several hundred
pounds Of brilliant colored mineral
paints. such as they ordinarily use for
war paint, taken from the heights Of
Chlef mountain, upon more than a
half-mile of canvas strips. This hero
glyphic history of the tribes war and
hunting achievements, some of which
is copied from elkskin records three
hundred years old, will be hung as
frieze in the unique mammoth log
chalets and hotels erected in the new
national park. These huge log
lodges" which stand upon the erst-
while hunting grounds of the Black
feet Indians, are regarded by them
as monuments to their people
Many of the old skins which bear
the pictorial histories of bow and
arrow" braves long since dead will be
exhibited at the Panama San Fran
cisco exposition, which will be at
tended by a delegation of the most
notable Blackfeet Indians now living
upon the Glacier National Park reser-
walton in northwestern Montana.
The figures used in this crude picto-
rial language of these Indians represent
a hundred and one objects. such as
animals, bows and arrows, tepees, cor
rails, fires, trees, mountains; in fact,
they worked in" everything that fig
ured in any way with their life But
it all has meaning, as the following
translation excerpts show.
This roll of canvas is divided into
about 250 sections. each section repre-
senting in Indian pictorial writing the
life history of each of the notable full
blood Blackfeet Indians, now living on
Glacier Park reservation, Montana In
all, there are about 5000 feet of this
canvas, on which the Indians have
painted their hieroglyphics. In pre-
senting this half-mile OF more of hero
glyphic history the Indians expressed
It as their wish that inasmuch as these
huge log lodges" as they call them,
are built upon the sites of the Black
feet's old hunting grounds, it was ap-
propriate the Blackfeet leave this
pictorial history upon canvas as
monument to their tribe.
The first section depicts the history
Of a brave Indian warrior named
Stingy. In this section are seen red
figures of horses with saddles which
