sioux TRIBE TO

wood next week when he becomes q
chief of the Sioux Indians.
1t is one Of those magnificent
creations of primitive splendor often
seen on wild west circus posters, but
rarely in the show itself Eagie-
feathers, dyed in the juice OF red
berries and other native coioring
matter, stand up proudly in great

which nearly touches the ground.

ed in colored beads and semi
precious stones. Pieces OF bronze,
rafting and jngles complete this
handiwork of the aborigines.
The head piece for the ceremony
of making a president a chieftain is
ready, but other details of the Dead
wood initiation are shrouded In
deepest secrecy. Up in the Black
Hills strange doings are taking
place. Conference after conference
is being held by the score OF Sioux
chiefs who will take part. There is
considerable display because the
name to be conferred upon Mr.. Cool
idge has leaked out and there are
good indications that the name orr
ginally chosen at the campfire meet
ing in the moonlight Chief Lead
ing Eagle-wil be abandoned and
another selected.
Although the chiefs do not like to
have it mentioned, 1t is known that
a proposal was made at one Of the
conferences to change the name but
an old custom is said to decree that
an Indian name for a white chief
must be selected in the light OF a
full moon and the chiefs are worried
because the next full moon does not
occur until after the Deadwood cefe-
monies.
Deep in the hills, Chief Crazy
Horse and Kills Hundred are
phrasing the coronation speech
which will be delivered in the Sioux
dialect and translated to the throng
expected to witness the induction.
Crazy Horse is IS and knows how to
conduct the rituals OF his fathers in
the most solemn and dignified way.
AS a young man of 81 he was with
his father when the Sioux wiped out
General Custer and his men at Little
Big Horn.
