case that the half-breeds are the trouble
makers in tribe.
At the end of three months I did know
my friends BETTER and, as Baptiste had said,
they were different I became a companion
of many of the younger men. I learned to
play "bo tin shuta" as the Indian played it,
hurting a slender rod on piece of undulating
ground and causing it to rise and shoot
through the air for distance of some nine
ty or hundred feet.

all around began to breathe easier
I'D They were not as bad as they were
painted.
We were bundled into an open
wagon and whisked away to the encampment,
three miles from town, accompanied by
flying squadron of highly colored horsemen.
Before the start was made l wanted to
become acquainted with the men and learn
something about their personalities. All that
an Indian did, to my limited knowledge was
to hunt and fight, stand on some eminence,
shading his eyes as he gazed into space.
I asked old Baptste de Lodge, halfbreed,
to take me around and introduce me. This
request he ridiculed, and answered with a
shake of his head: "No, you just g'long by
yourself. What for / want to show you in
jun! Dere he is you got eyes, he friend
of white man-maybe he like you--maybe
he not"
But l insisted, ard through TIC medium of
a coored handkerchief a gift Baptiste
made the rounds with me. The introductions
were very formal and brief. We stopped be-
fore each tepee and Baptiste called the head
man out "Wah-nop-e-tonga, gega how"
(Big Necklace, comes here), he said, and Wah-
tepee opening, stood erect, looked me straight
in the eye, shook hands, shake up and
down, and crawled back into his hole.
Several of them asked me in and talked
to me while Baptiste did the Interpreting

pleased and wanted to see me work, produc-

piece of wood. Bears Ear showed me how
the Indian worked. His drawing was crude
and, after the manner of all their art, con-

hit with Bears Ear, so Baptiste told me af

the tribe and hailed ME as a brother crafts

Through the wire grass and brush we wan

the remark: "You think all Injuns the same,

Huh? No, sir, by gosh Injun try to

Just two nights after this remark as we
were sitting the agency porch, farm

Big Elk, sub-chef, clambered down from
the seat. Slowly he embarrassed his steeds,
hobbled them and turned them out to Craze
Then lighting his pipe, he squatted on the
grass beside his wagon and smoked in silence.
A great. husky, broad-shouldered man in the
prime of life, whose voice in the council was
always needed, wearing his three eagle feath-
ers, showing that he had killed three Sioux
in battle, Big Elk the warrior had had an
argument with his little, frail hafbreed
wife, and she had chased him from his abode
with ak.
Peter Prmeaux the interpreter, told us
so just an hour after Big Elk's arrival Pete
laughed and insinuated that he must be some
chief when he'd let little "yaer gall make
him run.
Pete had little respect for "Injuns" in
general, but a half-breed che was JUS same
as white man." He was proud of his white

Electro.Pneumatic Brakes.
From the Electrical Review.

From the Electrical Review.
One of the first trains equipped with
the three-wire electro pneumatic
brake and telephone system to beop-
Grated over any railroad in the world
is now in operation over the Tyrone
division of the Pennsylvania railroad
The object of the electro pneumatic
brake is to secure rapid Simulta-
neous application and graduated or
direct release of the brakes in all cars
regardless of the length of the ira in
thus avoiding the Objectionable slack
action between the cars. A turbO-
generator situated at the top Of the
locomotive smoke box generates di =
rect current at pressure of 40 volts
for actuating the electric magnets on
the air brake valve of each car When
the engineer switches on the cure
and applies the air brakes. he is en-
abled to make a quick, smooth and
safe stop. and the Objectionable slack
action between the cars is thereby
avoided.
