LITTLE BULL PUTS
UP WITH STEERACE
So Do Thirteen Other Sci
onS of First Families
of America.

Forced by the European war to
travel third class, fourteen descend
ants of the First Families of Amer
lea arrived here yesterday from
Southampton almost penniless in the
steerage of the American liner New
York.
Some Of their ancestors had been
at Plymouth when the Mayhower
came in; had shed their blood in the
Indian war; had fought in the bloody
wagonbox fight in the West, and had
conferred in powwows with Custer.
Not one of them, however, was dis
pleased with having had to book third
class.
In the first cabin came Americans
whose forbears had been here not
more than one hundred years; some
there were whose claims to American
citizenship were nothing more than
the making of declarations and the
taking out Of legal papers; but the
fact that these folk enjoyed the privi-
leges Of saloon accommodations
caused not one jot of jealousy in the
hearts of the sturdy fourteen from
the First Families Of America.
Leonard Foolishwoman, whose
great great neutrality-suspicious.
probably owned the Rocky Mountains
or the Rockefeller oil properties long
before George Washington was born,
was the first of the real Americans
to come ashore.
Has Views on Suffragettes.
Asked what he thought of the Euro
pean war, Mr.. Foolshwoman shrugged
his shoulders. He thought the Eng
lish squaws who talked much on
street corners, smashed windows and
wanted a say at the powwows with
the big chiefs were very foolish
women.
Patrick Bittercreek would have
liked TO stay in Europe just to see
how the Belgians moved down the
Germans; but, apart from that, he
had no particular interest in the con-
iict. Bareback riding is his speciality,
and bareback rider had about as
much chance in modern warfare, ne
thought, as bow and arrow has
against ten-inch gun.
Mr.. Bittercreek took twist in his
long, straight, black hair and tucked
it under his hat. Here is fellow who
is crazy about war;" said he, pointing
to a strapping "First American" who
had Just walked ashore.
AS the redskin indicated walked over
to the customs desk he was halted.
Can you tell me something about
your experience in getting out Of
Europe? ?" he was asked.
Little Bull Reticent.
"Yes," he replied.
what, for example? ?" said the re-
porter.
Little Bull" he replied, seriously.
"My name Little Bull. ! talk not. You
see Willie Yellow Thunder"
what can he tell me-"
Little Bull" persisted the Indian.
81 talk not much United States. My
name Little Bull. That is now all"
Willie Yellow Thunder was accom-
panied by his wife Maggie and his
daughters, Maggie and Jessie.
"Did you have much trouble getting
out of Europe?" he was asked.
"Who are you?" asked Willie Yellow
Thunder.
"A reporter"
"Ah, good. Very good. Maybe you
tell me something. Who's leading the
American League"
"The Athletics"
Mr.. Yellow Thunder called out the
good news to his friend, Red SHIRT
who, with his wife, Julie, was standing
ten yards away
az knew they would lead. Bender will
pitch another worlds series. I'd
rather see that than stay over in
Europe and see the war"
The fourteen Indians, who had been
making a tour of Europe with Miller's
101 Ranch, included Mr.. and Mrs. Billy
Shangran, his son Peter his daughter
Ley and William Pickett.
