In the Days of the Buffalo.

The passing OF the American bison,
commonly called the buffalo, is con-
coded by historians, old plainsmen and
army officers Of the sixties and seven
tics, to have been the main solution of
the Indian question. In the early
DAYS, when this noble animal roam

was then called "the Great American
Desert" the Indian had no need to ap,
ply to the Great Father at Washington
for food and raiment as it was the buff
falo, chiefly, which furnished him
both.
The slaughter of the buffalo by the
white hide hunters was against the
law and in violation OF solemn treaties
made with the Indians, who SAW in the
destruction of this animal the rapid
disappearance of their homes, food.
and clothing, bedding, tepec equipment

wants and needs. In vain did the In
dian Bureau make feeble effort t.
keep the white hunters out of the In

pleasure.

animals on the western plains betwee'

And believe in weak men who
