Show 'Tis the Head, Not Heart, That Wags the Tongue In recognition of some service Chief Washakie of the Shoshone Indians had rendered, General Grant sent him a beautiful silver-mounted silver-mounted saddle. It was presented present-ed with troops drawn up and a grandiloquent speech by the commanding com-manding officer. " 1 When Washakie was asked if he wished to reply, he shook his head negatively. "What!" shouted the colonel, "after all you heard you have nothing to say?" The Indian answered: "White man feels with his head; his head has tongue. Indian feels with his heart; heart no tongue." |
