one-third of a dollar.
A doe skin half a dollar; buck
skin was a dollar. That is why even
today a dollar is referred to as
buck. Beaver and otter skins were
the same as buck skin and silver
fox skin was a treasure-it was
worth as little as the trader could
get it for but brought him around
$50 in the eastern fur market.
The Indians never tried to beat
down the price nor ask for credit.
The savages would line up outside
the store and come in and trade in
turn-never asking the price but only
pointing to the item desired. IL the
price suited they would peel off the
right number Of skins and it was
deal. If priced too high the item was
passed by without comment. Laramie
had to be linguist. There were no
interpreters. The storekeeper knew
the Shawnee language well and his
trade mostly was Shawnee.
Peleneca was Shawnee for shirt;
peteows meant hat; aqueqa meant
blanket; and muskrat skin to the
Indians was not muskrat but oshas
qua instead. Their name for coon was
ethapete and deer was peshikthe.
When they wanted bread the
Shawnee asked for tequane; tea was
shiskewape; salt was nepepimue;
sugar was melassa. Their numbers
from one to 10 were: Negate, Mesh
wa; Nithese; Newe; Niasinwe; Ne
otewathe; Nashwathe; Sashakawa;
Chakatswa; and Netathwe.
Often the Indians came to the store
in twos and threes and would file in,
sit down and say nothing. Laramie
then would pass out small portion
of tobacco. The savages then pro-
duced their pipes, mixed the tobacco
with sumach bark and smoked the
mixture, which they called shame.
Then after talking for awhile trad
ing began. There was no crowding
nor attempt to be waited on out of
turn. They had more courtesy than
have we of today.
Laramie's customers were proud
and honest and would not ask for
credit but if it were volunteered
would accept and would travel miles
to pay what they owed and at the
time for which it had been promised.
The foregoing procedure became a
tradition and later was followed in
all the pioneer stores dealing with
the Indians after Laramie. Old ac-
counts relate that the Indian trade
was found better and more agreeable
than that of the white people that
came afterwards.
So much Indian trouble developed
in Laramie's store that it was the
objective of a punitive expedition
against the Indians along the Miami
and Mad rivers in 1882 in which it
was sacked and burned and all In
dian houses in its vicinity.

techniques and duties of practical
nurse. This period of learning is fol-
lowed by about eight months of super
vised practical experience in ST.
Rita's or Memorial Hospitals, Lima.
In this hospital experience, the
practical nurse student will learn how
to care for patients with various
diseases and for surgical patients. She
also will care for new mothers and
their babies and have experience in
the pediatric department caring for
children. This hospital experience is
under the instruction and guidance of
registered professional nurses as is
the basic classroom instruction.

liked by the savages. He sold them
modern guns to supplant their own
spears, bows and arrows, and from
him they got their tomahawks, hunt
ing knives and whisky. Other items
in his stock were those most needed
in life on the frontier. The French
man accepted the Indians wampum
and skins in place of money and paid
the wampum back to them for more
furs or whatever they had to sell.
Laramie's trade was solely with
the Indians. No other whites lived in
the vicinity. Wampum was Indian
money-merely shell beads strung on
strings and other than in circulation
among them had no value at all.
Skins and pelts were legal tender all
over the frontier in pioneer days and
had standard values. A muskrat skin
represented a quarter; a coonskin
