BABY TALK BREAKS
HIS LONG SILENCE
Spo-Pe, Indian Of Mystery,
Speaks For First Time.

Washington.-Spo-Pe the Indian man
of mystery, an inmate of the criminal
division of the Government Hospital
For the Insane at Washington, has
broken a silence of more than thirty
two years.
Spo-Pe's self imposed disuse of his
talking apparatus has continued ever
since the first day of his Incarceration
at Fort Wayne near Detroit, in 1892
Adjudged of unsound mind at the fort.
he was sent to the government hospital
in 1882 His silence was accepted by
the army medical examiners as con-
vincing symptom of melancholia.
The crime for which the Indian
was imprisoned was the murder OF a
fur trader. an act Of reprisal against
the white race for the killing of his
mother in one of the hostile inter
changes between the United States
troops and the Blackfoot Indians in
1879.
1t remained for Mrs. Malcolm Clark.
one of party of members of the Black
foot tribe. herself a halfbreed. to re-
awaken Spo-Pe's slumbering vocal or
gans.
Times without number during his in
generation efforts have been made to
persuade Spo-Pe to talk. Not syl-
liable. not even a grunt, has the aged
warrior volunteered.
But when Mr. and Mrs. Clark. in
company with James Perrine and
Charles W. Buck. paid a visit to the
insane hospital they explained to the
superintendent that they had under
stood there was an Indian among the
inmates.
Mrs. Clark had Spo-Pe pointed out TO
her With her husband she addressed
him in the stilted but eloquent Indian
tongue. Spo-Pe gave no indication
that he understood Then Mrs. Clark
said to her friends. step back, let me
whisper to him.
She sat down beside the solemn red
man and began a musical form of baby
talk, 1.-THE language of little people," as
the Indians call it. She crooned and
crooned to the gray headed man until
finally the stolid heart seemed to melt
What is your name?' she said. still
in the infant dialect.
"Spo-Pe." came from the lips of the
stole. And for the first time since he
entered the hospital Spo-Pe had broken
his silence.
Finding that his tongue would really
perform its office. Spo-Pe's first ques-
ton was:

Three Bears was brother of the In
dian who died in 1888.
Since the breaking of the thirty-two
years silence Spo-Pe has expressed
willingness to discourse. but as the
Blackfoot language is not universally
known in the government hospital he
finds considerable difficulty in obtain
ing companionship.

Bellefontaine, O.-Anson Carter,

this conclusion: aside from three

"A man and woman can go to house
keeping today in better manner for the
same amount of money than a couple
could a quarter OF a century ago. 1t is
the desire of the buying public to have
so much prepared food and so many
