THOSE CRAZY INDIANS
Soc
90 IN

What crazy folks the Indians were in the old days.
when following victory their enemies they
daubed their bodies with gaudy paint in weird designs
clothed themselves in outlandsh animal skins and
trappings, Whacked the tom-tom they executed a
dance around blazing camp fire, with the scalps of
their fallen opponents waving above their heads and
later gorged their stomachs with huge feast
1t was their way Of expressing their Joy and salts
faction. Poor saVages, they knew no better and as
we read Of their celebration adopt a superior air
and think how ludcrous ana somewhat pathetic it was
Inc Whlte mans intelligence put an end to the
indians barbarlc performance. Our civilization cu-
ture and refinement superior his crudities that
we admit it ourselves
We have improved so much on the Indians way of
celebrating great occasions Witness the way Broad
way observed Miss Texas Guinans victory when fed
era jury acquitted her charge of violating the pro-
mbltlon law at her New York night club.
brass band played the battle hymn Hail Hail
the Gangs All Here, horns footed, bells ingled the
boys and girls made "whoopee' the illusriois Harry
r. ThaW danced up and down in his glee the lily white
Texas kissed everyone within reach and greeted the
crowd with her familiar salutation barred in polite So
clety while outside another crowd of the species which
1t must be admitted her favorite word can alcne de-
scribe bated for admission and the privilege of pay
ing a dollar for two bit ginger ale
1t was a wonderful celebration, and it is to be
hoped that the shades Of Sitting Bull, Geronimo
Crazy Horse and the other poor savages were able to
look down from their Fahalla to see that even the
white mans way celebrating is superior to theirs
Those Indians were just plumb crazy, and thank
heaven we are not.
