handing down to posterity a complete
pictorial history of their tribe For
nearly 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
Cnlef mountain, upon more than a
nalf-mile OF canvas strips. This hero
glyphic history of the tribes war and
hunting achievements, some of which
- copied from elkskin records three
hundred years old, will be hung as a
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 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
q 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
1t all has meaning, as the following
translation excerpts show.
This roll Of canvas is divided into
about $50 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 THE half-mile or more of hero
glyphic history the Indians expressed
It a. 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 q
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
Stiney stole from his enemies; a per
sonal encounter between Stingy and
a buffalo, with stingy hanging to the
buffalo, grabbing him by one horn and
his tongue; an episode with grizzly
bear. which showed fight and stood
and looked at Stingy: Stingy grabbing
a huge rattlesnake as he was crawling
into his hole and breaking him in two;
Stingy shooting a grizzly bear in the
mouth as the bear was coming at him;
a picture Of the near-drowning Of
stingy through losing his horse

 For years" she continued, T have hardly been able to eat a thing with out suffering for hours afterwards. My food seemed to sour on my stomach ana caused me great suffering. Then, nerv- o,1s headaches came on and I could not rest at night. Some days 1t seemed im- gpossble to retain the simplest food on my stomach and I felt tired and worn out most of the time.
