Question Box-No. ?.


Many of your boys have requested
me to describe the training of an In
dian boy to hunt and track animals.
Indian boys are born hunters
At a very early age their wise faith
ers started the lessons which were to
make the boys mighty hunters and
brave warriors. These lessons were
mental as well as physical. for the real
Indian boy knew all the legends and
mighty deeds of his tribe by heart. He
also knew the great outdoors woe pc
to the Indian boy who proved stupid
pupil, because he would have little
chance in the struggle for existence
which all primitive people must face
remember my Sioux Indian boy
playmates teaching me how TO hunt
and track small game. Fish, rabbits.
SQUIRRELS and birds were our best sport
in hunting. Wise in woodcraft were
those boys. whose daily lives were
spent in following the teachings of the
great hunters of their tribe.
Catching fish thru the ice OF the
Missouri river in the middle of winter
is one bit of Indian strategy which IS
particularly prominent in my memory.
NY Indian playmatcs and l were
taught TO build a tepee on the ice OF
the river. Then We would cut hole
in the ice at the center of the tepeti
and build a fire beside it.
The fish would be attracted by the
reflection of the fire on the ice and
come to the hole to investigate. Then
we would spear Mr.. Fish and pull HIM
thru the hole.
The Indians taught me how to light
a fire, not only with flint and sticks.
but by rubbing two spongy pieces of
dry wood together until by combustion
we got fire.
Here is a cunning trick that boys Of
today can use in hunting such small
game as rabbits:
Yah hi G hTr
ing a small, slender sappling, take
twisted horsehair moose and tie 1t to
the top of the little tree. Then we
would bend the sapling down to the
ground and fasten the whole thing
with a slip-knot after adjusting the
moose cunningly. Robbits have little
"run-ways" or trails. Bre'r rabbit
would eventually come along and pos
sibly would stick his head thru the
horsehair noose-and in a second the
astonished little animal would be
dangling high in the air as the saplinS
snapped back into place.
And so, when the wise little Indian
boys. would show up, they had usually
won another triumph in outwitting
game. This is the secret of living in
craftier than animals, else he cannot
exist. Indian boys were taught to
study the habits of the animals which
they hunted.
The Indians were famous for their
strategy. not only in their warfare, but
in hunting and everything else they
did. For instance, ina CINE stalking
buffalo attired in wolf skins. The dis
guised hunters would crawl close
enough to the huge animals to easily
kill them with bow and arrow when
they leaped to their feet and threw off
the skins. The Indians knew that the
buffalos were not afraid of a few lone
wolves.
Such was the wisdom OF the red
skin hunters, and the boys that knew
on the Dakota plains taught me much
that has been of great value to me all
nv life.

Campfire stories-No. 2.

Lives there a boy who doesn't try
to kill snake the minute he sees the
reptile2 After a boy grows older he
finds that even snakes have their use
in the world, the same as everything
else; but the point I wish to empha-
size concerns rattlesnakes.
Boys, never fool with a rattlesnake,
even at the end of a big stick
l learned this lesson when l was
twelve years old, while riding with an
Indian boy playmate. We had dis
mounted from our ponies beside a
stream of water. In running down the
steep bank to the stream came upon
a big, ugly RATHER lazily summing him
self on the rocks. 1t was then that |
did something that my Indian friend
would never have done.
1 picked up a rock and threw it at
the RATHER. These snakes are regular
bulldog fighters. And this one hap
pened to be coiled and ready for me.
At about the same moment Mr..
Rather, who apparently didn't like me
any more than I liked him, struck
back He hit-and 1 didn't.
My Indian playmate revenged me
quickly, however, when an arrow from
his bow pinned the rattler's ugly head
to the ground, where he writhed and
twisted. and then lay still.
At first 1 did not believe 1 had been
bitten. but the Sioux boy soon dis
covered a tell-tale scratch on the calf
of my leg. Boys, here is where ma
lures teaching saved my life. The
Indian boy put his lips to the wound
and sucked it, splitting the blood out
from time to time. Then he took my
handkerchief and bound it above the
wound-NEARER THE HEART. He
knotted it, ran a short stick thru the
knot, and then twisted the stick until
81 tight Rows. II
you are ever bitten by a snake, do TINS
first, because it prevents, in a meas
ure, the deadly poison from getting
into circulation.
Despite this primitive first-aid treat
ment, 1 would never have lived had
not the Indian boy carried me double
on his pony until we reached my
fathers ranch. My father tried the
white mans remedy - whisky - be-
cause the poison of a rattlesnake has
tendency to stop the heart. Whisky
stimulates the heart, makes it beat
it is doubtful if I would have survived
had not the Indian boy brought an old
and wise suuaw to the ranch.
She set up her tripod of sticks and
hung a kettle over a fire. In this
kettle she cooked herbs known only
to the primitive people. After she
had dosed me with this terrible con-
coction 1 felt better. But it was two
or three days before I fully recovered,
and 1 had learned a great lesson.
Boys, don't fool with snakes. They
are something like guns; you never
can tell when they are going to go
off unexpectedly.
This little story brings to mind the
wonderful value to man of the teach
ings of nature
Boys, sure wish every white boy
of today could have the fine clean,
physical training that the American
Indian youths of my boyhood days en-
joyed AS 1 have said, there were no
finer examples of physical manhood
in the world than the Sioux Indians
among whom L grew up. They obeyed
the laws of the great teacher-nature.

Queer at 1858 Feet.

Oklahoma oil men today were en-

oil we'll Thursday at an unexpected
depth of 1895 feet which resulted in
the burning of the derrick when the
rush of oil and gas was ignited. The
well was put down in Stephens county,
Oklahoma, an undeveloped section.
Two weeks ago, drillers struck oil
in Young county, Texas, at a depth
of 1850 feet.
The two discoveries have created a
great sensation among oil men as both
wells are in undeveloped territory
which it is believed will yield big pro-
duction.
