Indian Guide Says

SUPERIOR, Wis, June 22.-tF)-
Amid the lengthening shadows of the
forest, President Coolidge's new In
dian guide stood b~areheaded and
arms folded, facing the setting sun.
He was contemplating the days fish
ing trip with "the big white father"
and those Of days to come.
Zine, the president is fine when
he catches fish," John Larock-Jean
Laroque his paternal forbears might
have spelled it-said quietly. A smile
of satisfaction played over the strong
face Of the broad-shouider~d, power

Doesn't get excited. not a bit.
Good fisherman, President Coolidge"
Guide Noted Fisher
With the gruff woodsman's ex-
preston Of approval, John glanced at
the retreating banks of clouds over
the tall pine trees, then down toward
the Brule, whose waters once were
colored with the blood Of his moth
er's people, the Chippewas, as they
drove the Sioux tribes from the re-
gion. These were the beautiful hunt
ing and fishing grounds that the
white man later took from the Chip
pewas.
John Larock's father was a French
man. but his mothers Indian blood
predominates in his appearance and
actions. He was born IS years ago
in Ashland, Wis, and came 10 the
head of the lakes when a lad Of ten.

The guide, who speaks remarkably
correct English for one who never
went to school, settled a question Of
much import. Mr.. Coolidge uses
both worms and fly in his angling.
And John also provided first hand
information as to how the president
dresses on his expeditions. He has
guided him only two days, but on
the first the president wore a big
cowboy hat and high heeled boots
and the next time he was in his Of
flee clothes with a black felt hat.
Dogs Go Fishing
The White House dogs come in for
their share Of the trips. for they
have learned to sit quietly in the
canoes and thereby earned Johns ad-
miration.
