In excellent Imitation of an elephant's trunk. Signs often have more than one meaning. An Indian says I am a Pawnee, by making a V of his first and second fingers and extending Ms arm. In conversation the same sign means wolf, the fingers indicating the ears. The same sign also means wisdom. Inasmuch as the wolf Is considered a pretty w ise son of animal and he Is or he would have been exterminated long ago. The sunte two fingers jointed to the ground say, I have considered. It Is a pleasure to watch an Indian talking fluently In the Sign Language. He makes his signs In graceful movements in a small spuce In front of him.

And he should know considerable about the Sign Language, for he was graduated from West Point a second lieutenant In the United States army eleven days after Custer and 2150 of his troopers were wiped out In 1876 by Sitting Bull on the Little Big Horn and has been studying the universal lnnguage of the Iialns ever since. lie knows so much about tt In tact that Uncle Sam relieved lilm from active duty In 1897 for a year and set him down In the bureau of ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution to write a work on The subject And has Mole Tequops study of the Sign Language been worth while? It has Indeed. For this veteran has also brains and character and personality and the archives of the War department show that many an Impending outbreak of trilies all over the West was headed off by Mole Tequop and much bloody frontier fighting thereby averted. General Scott was born In Kentucky in 1853 and should have been retired by law In 1917. But he was then chief of staff of the United States army and tho nation needed him In that yenr of emergency.

A full length photograph of General Scott at the present time hows what a soldierly figure Is thla veteran, even In his old age. Another photograph shows group at Browning, where Supt F. C. Campbell has his office. The sketch shows General Scott muklng the sign for bighorn, the picturesque Rocky Mountain sheep, whose most striking characteristic Is his large horns, curving down and in. Thla bighorn sign Illustrates a basic tact of the Sign Langunge: The Indian almost lnvari-ohl- y takes the most salient feature of anything Takes?" Oh, yes; the In making a sign tor It Sign Language is a growing language or else it could not survive. If It (lid not adapt Itself to matten be disthe time how could cussed? When an Indian wants to make the sign of the former kaiser of the German empire, now hiding In exile, ho simply Interlocks six fingers and two thumbs, puts his hands across his mouth and sticks up his two Index flngen toward his eyes in other words, to the Indian the big thing about the German kulser Is his mustache. Remember, please, that about 12,000 American Indians responded to the call to the colon In the World war end they are talking about It yet gome of the signs, however, are not so obvious. This Is to be expected, since the Sign Language is an old, old language. It probably bad Its beginning when the tribes, each with a language of Its own, meon the Plains in their hunting exSo some of Its signs long antedate peditions. the advent of Europeans. One of the very old signs, of course, is that for buffalo. Mole Tequop says that for many years he Inquired about It and Invariably the answer was: "My father told me that was the sign for buffalo." Now, the buffalo sign Is this: Tou make a fist of the left band, small linger down. Yon draw the index finger of the right hand back from the hollow made between the thumb and Mole Tequop, standindex finger of the fiat ing on bluff and looking down on Indians shooting buffalo, realized that the outstanding feature of a buffalo was his hump, suggesting the torma- -' tlon between Index finger and thumb of the fist The Index finger of the right hand Is the arrow. Its withdrawal the drawing of the bow and the whole action Is that of shooting the buffalo. Are you skeptical over Indians talking about Liberty bonds In the Sign Language? Remember, please, that Indiana bought over $25,000,000 of Liberty bonds and that Indians nowadays are very rich from oil lands, ninny of them. So naturally they have to talk about dollars, cash, credits and interest. Moreover, the Indian nilnd Is delightfully direct and logical on these subjects. The sign tor the dollar In the Sign Langunge Is exactly as you yourself would muke It the outline of the silver .dollar made by curving the Index finger and the thmuh. The sign for cash Is the placing of thla dollar sign In the palm of the other hand money In hand. Credit Is Indicated by making a writing motion In the palin the entries In the account hooka of the white man. And Interest? Why, the Indlnn Just naturally makes the dollar sign, then the credit sign and then the child sign. If Interest Isn't the Child of Invested money, whet Is it? With his eye for the characteristic feature of everything, the Indian is usually delightfully direct In the Sign Language: For example, the white man was the only one who wore n hat So the sign tor white man Is the passing of the Index finger along the line on the forehead when the brim of the hat coma t ' v Always the young lieutenant was interested In the Sign Language. He recognized in It a medium of successful diplomacy with the Indians. As a rule the Indian scouts employed by ths cavalry were useless as Interpreters. He saw that the first step to gaining the confidence of the various tribes was to he able to talk with them. Lieutenant Scott was fortunate In early gaining the friendship of a remarkable Indian, a Kiowa. The KInwns have probably killed more white men. In proiortlun to their numbers, than Is the most famous any other tribe. Yet peacemaker the Plains have ever seen. He had a deep love for the Indian, and tho Intelligence to see that In the long run their resistance to the white man was hopeless. He has proved his soldier courage mitnj times under fire.
