It would never do to create an International difficulty with the United States. "Ill tell you what I run do, he said to her. "My little daughter has a donkey curt. Tlie donkey Is old und I was going to have him killed. Jo you think you cun drive him across the frontier?

Tlie young Indian warrior digs himself a round hule In the ground the size he wishes to make hla shield. He then tu'kes a piece of rawlilde twice the dexlrcd size of the finished product, and stretches It over the hole, pegging It Into the ground. A fire has been started In the hole so that when the skin Is glued a shrinking process will sturt until tlie skin has shrunken to Its desired size. Following this material preparation tor the manufacture of the Indian weapon of defense, all of the friends of the young Indian are summoned to dunce around the hole and Invoke the spirits to keep sway evil from the shrinking shield. Finally the dance ie completed, and the lire Is put out. When the hot leather has cooled, the "medicine," or "totem," or "charm" of the Indian is pulnted upon the hide, and decorative feathers fringe Its edge. The shield of the Indian waa guardas the most sacred possession of the warrior, and never waa parted from Its owner until laid beneath the hend of the dead fighter In hla grav unless given away to a worthy young warrior or laid as a most precious gift at the grave of child or wife. ed Fir$t Accident Insurance Accident Insurance was first introduced Into the United States In 183 olid the first accident Insurance company was organized In iStKl at Hartford, Conn.
