To look at Pawhuska you would think
logue, but go into one Of the jewelry
stores. You'd be surprised. Some of
the jewelry would look well going up
Fifth Avenue. The Indians come in, in
their catalogue blankets, looking as if
they didn't have more than a couple of
dollars to their name and, point to a
diamond that looks as if it ought to have
a guard with it, grunt, "Me likeum.
Take him." And down into the mys-
terious depths of their undergarments
they go and come up with the long
green. No tick for them. The shop
doesn't have to keep a squad of INSTALL
ment collectors for them. They've got
it with them. The finest of silverware,
table sets, carafes and so on till the side
board groans. But that is for COM
pany. When meal time comes they all
gather around big communal bowl and
go after it without accessories.

or the lady of the house, but the
whole family-every child, half brother,
grandmother and step-uncle - just as
long as they had their names on the gov
ernment books. and few of them were
so crowded that they could not get
around to this. This would mean that
in a family of father and mother ond
three kids they would be drawing down
at least $4,000 month. And as an or
chestra seat at the Jewel in Pawhuska
the biggest town In the county-costs
only 27 cents, they were able to squeeze
along pretty comfortably. The only fly
in the ointment was the income tax.
Before they struck oil the Osages had
pretty hard scrabbling. About all the
money they had was made selling
blankets and moccasins to the tourists.
But do they do that now? Echo an
swers, No. The old hand loom that
looked so good in the snapshots has
passed out. There has been hardly one
among the Osages since 1915. 1t is
coming to be quite a curio. It is to
be seen in the windows of only few
of the more progressive stores. Here
the young Indians line up and wonder
how it was operated and where they
connected the electricity.

Redskin is.
If you have tear that simply must

out your handkerchief. for it is truly
touching sight to see the son of a saw
age walk up to cold, uncaring collec-
ton box and drop through the unappre-
ciative slot q check for two thousand
dollars, which he will never see again,
come what may.
In that respect 10, the Poor Indian,
has his troubles. The red brother hard
ly knows what to do with good automo-
biles the price they are to-day, the out
rageous prices they charge for an up
to-date electrically operated talking ma
chine and the poor value they give in
silk shirts. 1t is enough to disgust an
aborigine with civilization and make
him want to go back to the buffalo.
Oil--that is the explanation. That is
the thing that is making life so hard for
them. Once they did not have anything
to do but to sit around. scratch little
ground on pleasant days and go over to
the agency every quarter and draw
their rations. But now all that is
changed. Now they have all the white
mans woes-only more so than the
average white man, as the Osages in
the Usage Nation are now the richest
people in the world. They have more
money in minute than many we'll
meaning people have in month.
Rattl.ssnakes, Alkali, and Then
Then the Big Day
The Osages were placed on a dis
carded Spart of Oklahoma, which was
gwen over principally to rattlesnakes
and allkali. It was the most undesira-
BILE part of Oklahoma, and in this line
Oklahoma has rather wide selection.
The Osages, numbering something
over 2,200, were dropped down here and
started in to farm-when the spirit
moved them. But the spirit was never
anpleasantly aggressive. Things drifted
along, the Indians just barely eking
out q living, when man in greasy over
ais came through. A rig went up. An
otner. And pretty soon the rush was
On. They had struck oil. But the gov
ernments instead of giving all the
money to the Indian on whose land it
happened to be discovered, put into
erect blanket drilling plan. That is,

III the summer, and the farm across the

were to share the same. And so it was

make up conventionalized design
embodying these symbols and then send
ing them back to the Indians. And so
they are doing to-day. The Indians can
not get enough of their own power loom
blankets.
In fact, so eager are the Indians to
get them that they cannot wait for the
salesman to come around to supply them
to the local stores and so they order
from the catalogue. The Indian boys
and girls, who have been off to school,
fill out the order sheet for the parents,
and soon the proud father and mother
are moving down the street simply turn
ing 'em green.
One Of the seasons most popular SELL
ers is No. 1,029-15, called by name "The
Happy Hunting Ground" It is not
tribal blanket with merely local sale,
but meant to appeal to all noble redmen.
In the professional language of the sales
department., all you gotta do is to show
it. 1t sells itself. On it are pictured the
sun and the stars, the tepee and the
tomahawk, the bear and the buffalo
with few frogs and some quick biting
fish.
A Thousand Per Month
Isn't Bad Money
And so it is with moccasins, peace
pipes, painted heads, war clubs, drums,
poisoned arrows and on down the
curio line. The modern oil Indian
simply. hasn't got time to string beads
and do all the work that is necessary to
turn out good, first class salable moe
casin, so the business is now going over
to the sweatshops and East Side fac
tories operated by immigrants, who
wouldn't know an Indian if they met
him in the subway. They never saw a
real Indian in their lives. All they
know about him is what they see in the
movies. They think that the Indians
are still wearing feathers and riding
horses. They don't know that the
modern Indian has to have an SO hat
or he thinks he is practically bare
headed, and that about all the walking
he does is to get out to the garage. They
feel so sorry for the poor Indian, little
realizing that the poor downtrodden
Indian is being lot better paid than
they are They judge all the Indians by
the Los Angeles variety. A Los Angeles
Indian gets Sc day; an Oklahoma
Indian gets thousand dollars a month.
What do they do with their money?
What can they do with it in Pawhuska?
Pawhuska' has some three thousand
souls, most of whom run rooming houses.
1t is a pretty weary round the Indians
lead, even with ali their money. They
are not welcome in the big hotels in
Tulsa and Oklahoma City. All they can
do is to stay at home and spend it among
the three thousand souls.
Before you get there you hear about
their white chauffeurs and YOU have
visions of immaculate mumnies sitting
aloohy at the steering wheel, remaining
motionless for hours at the curb, but
not much. Somebody has put the wrong
card in the bellopticon. They are col

larless and coatless and haven't felt the
urge to shave for the best part of a
week. 1ndolent, insolent-they couldn't
hold down job in New York longer
than it took to get the employment
agency on the telephone-which some
times would be quite little stay.
The chauffeurs insult them covertly,
cheat them, lie to them and then leave
the rest to the garage man. And when
the garage man gets through with them
they sure know that life is real and that
life is earnest. Most of the Indians
have guardians, who are supposed to
see that they are not cheated out of their
money; the Indians are in the hands of
their guardians and can hardly spend a
dollar without the sanction of the guard
ians. The guardian is an appointee of
politics and is not always what Billy
Sunday would like. Many of them live
off their wards. They have to buy the
kind of car and of whom the guardian
says-which explains why, when you
ask an Indian how much he paid for his
car. you get such shock.
If there is one thing that an Indian
likes it is to show some speed when he
drives. The roads of Oklahoma were
never laid out by Barney Oldfeld. Lit
tie attention. is paid to speed laws-and
away the Indian brother goes. When
something happens to the car it is
taken to the garage and the repair man
feels good all over.
Indian custom is Indian custom.
There is one Usage who several years
ago fell ill of the dreaded disease small
pox. Worse he became and at last was
taken outside the Indian village to die
and over him the last tribal rites were
said. His pony was killed and he was
left to go in peace to the happy hunting
ground. But he didn't do SO. He
stayed right in Oklahoma. He got bet
ter and better, and at last was we'll. But
not to the tribe. To them he was Off
cially dead, and now he is an outcast.
BY himself in cabin built of oil tins
and castoff boards he lives with his
dogs, without speaking to any other
Indian But to the government he is
still alive-alive to the extent of draw
ing his eight hundred dollars month.
And so alone with it he lives.

The Indian Has the Laugh
On Greenwich Village

But the blanket and moccasin bust
ness goes on just the same. In fact,
more blankets, rugs and curios are be-
ing sold to-day in Pawhuska than ever
before. The laugh is on the tourist.
They pack into town, eager to buy a
real Indian blanket with the hearts
blood of some wrinkled, toothless squaw
woven into it, but nary a drop of blood
do they get. The Indians are swapping
up all the good blankets. Only a few
shoddy. unpopular patterns are left for
the poor untutored traveller so anxious
to fix up perfect love Of an apartment
in Greenwich Village. But are the
blankets made by a poor squaw with
papoose on her back and soup stone
on the fire? Not on your, or anybody's,
life. They come from old New York,
from some of the finest power looms
in the United States. The Oklahoma
Indians have practically gone out of the
blanket business they simply can't go
to all the movies they want to, make the
round of the stores and take a spin in
their cars and have any time left for the
cultivation of the arts. The poor squaw
the tourist felt so sorry for is about to
outbid him. If he doesn't go a good ways
down in his pocket, the perfect love of
an apartment will have to go without a
single specimen of native weaving.
Making Indian blankets is now a
profitable business. But not among the
Indians. The blankets come from New
York or from Oregon. There is one
town in Oregon which is doing splen-
did Indian blanket business. It is put
