CHIEF
FINGER-IN-YOUR-EYE


Chief-Fineer-In- Your-Eye was
an Indian Chief OF the kodahi-
cans. and when his last Jour
ney took him 10 the Happy
Hunting-Grounds. he had
reached the somewhat mature
age OF i3s years. The chief was
a wanderer OF considerable re-
uown and many times returned
20 his village 10 tell marvellous
stories OF strange sights In
stranger lands. when he could
gather a few listeners about
him. he RECALLED them with ex-
citing narratives of his travels.
Many were these stories that
be told.
One OF his favorites was
about a crack In the earth's
surface. which was about a
mile in depth and several miles
across. In the bottom OF this
crack flowed a river OF good
size and OF strong current
when be told this one. the
braves looked at one another
and winked.
Then there was another
about a great eXpanse OF coun-
try where many bears were 10
be found and they were so
tame and Of such benign dis
position one could feed them
by hand. while round about
great geysers at frequent in-
tervsls eTupted with breath
taking action. and TO incredible
heights. One was so regular in
its explosive habits that he Oft
en- referred 10 IL as "Old
Faithful.
He told about plunging wa
terfalls OF spectacular beauty:
Of raging rivers: of fish that
flew In the air IKE birds: OF
huge lizards that lived in warm
sluggish water. and that had
immense teeth sharp like a III
gers tooth with which they
might chew a mans leg off. He
told OF many other strange
creatures that inhabited the
air. the earth and the waters
OF the earth.
One OF the stories the chief
always got around 10. II his lis
teners stayed that long. was
about a large body OF water.
larger than any villager had
ever seen. So vast in size that
II had no boundary in either
length or breadth. And where
the waves beat upon the shore
there was much white sand,
and a village had sprung up
beside a forest of Hollywood.
Here at the shore line, the VII
lage maidens came down TO
battle and cavort. and what
they wore-a great part OF ii
had been left at home, Some
OF the maiden's mothers wore
strange garbs full of slacks,
and concerning the ones who
were a little plump, IL was diff
ficult 10 know whittier they
were advancing of retreatingl
When the wanderer would
tell these stories, the braves
would exchange glances, and
their faces were sad with pity
for the old chief. The wind,
hear il, how IL blows through
the trees" they would say.
