Then the Big Chief became desperate
and said: 81 fear that you are falling be-
fore these new-fangled ideas they call
civilization. You must understand that
anyone that lives in this camp must not
let little thing like a conscience stand
in his way of promoting our welfare. In
order to help you to be man enough"
SC desden your conscience We suggest
a supply of Fire Water to help you
along.
Then in some way the paid Writer
managed to mix some poison together
from an old supply they had left. 1t
stuck to his quill and would make dirty
marks on the paper.
This pleased the Big c hief and he
called his warriors together and with
great pomp, well-painted faces and
beautiful and expensive feathers they
had a big war dance and much rejoicing.
They were ably assisted in this affair
by some of the braves they have with
them from the Big Killing Places which
the white man knows as the packing
Houses" All were in fit mood to buy
anything that "Clitters" regardless of its
utility or expense. Self-conceited and
with feeling of security that comes
only from ignorance and egotism; not
aware of the fact that their happy days
of intimidation, villification, rough stuff
and sharp practices are about to end and
all this with no hope for the Happy
Hunting Ground.
Now, getting down to real business, it
stands to reason that stores cannot COM
pete with our prices on a straight, legiti-
mate, full.weight and full-measure
business proposition and pay $25,O
more than is necessary for glittering
fixtures, and high rents, even under the
bold explanation that their rents are di-
vided among the different departments.
There is no getting away from it the
house is burdened with high rents and
taxes and the customers have to pay
for it. BY reason of our advantages we
can make the following prices. Do they
realize what they are up against?

After a close look in the direction of
the setting sun the Big Chief called a
council in his Wigwam, and after a short
consultation with some of his braves he
called in his "Paid Writer" and said: 81
have taken look in the direction where
the White Men live and methinks that
we are being confronted with real
emergency. They have .nobilixcd their
forces and are starting on a very aggres-
sive campaign. They are even now en-
croaching on our territory and we must
check them or we will lose this vast do
main of which I am Chief, for If the
White Men come we can no longer DO
things as we please" and that will ruin
us. You know we have not been true to
our trust and it will 60 hard with us.
Now the reason l am telling you all this
is to show you that you must get busy.
Be quick and frame up something! Dig
up some skeleton. Do anything that you
with exaggeration, intimidation, villifi-
cation, sensation and ridicule. Oh, my
dear, "Paid Writer do just anything
that will make it possible for us to win.
Then will give you literally of the rev.
enue that we collect from our followers
and you can feast on Buffalo meat the
rest of the days of your life, and your
entrance to the Happy Hunting Grounds
will be easy"
The "Paid Writer went into seclu-
sion. He dug deep into the files of skele-
tons in his tent, he tried all the favorite
poisons with which he had SO often COW
cred his pen, but ALAS! the skeletons
would not stand up and the poison had
lost it's force. Discouraged, heartsick and
full of remorse the paid Writer" came
back to the Big Chief and humbly re-
ported that he had tried all his fsvorite
means and all to no avail. The poison
will not work and the skeleton will not
stand. tried even to smear more mud
on the skeleton. but the mud would not
stick. 1t would only fall back on us. See!
Our hands, our faces and our clothes are
all soiled until we can hardly see right!

ever since the war ended and our
production, sales and profits for the
