THE INDIAN PAPOOSE. How He Lives and What He Thinks of the Indian Question, re —— The vexed Indian question was never more brightly and pointedly stated and discussed than in the following sketch abbreviated from Harper's Young People : I aim a jolly little Indian papoose, I keep pretty close to my mother, She does not often like to face un responsibility of my size. but she will shoulder it any time, and so we are bound together by the strongest ties, When T am at home I live in a wigwam which mother and 1 built, We made it of poles covered with bark and skins, We built it together.

Sometimes we have nothing to eat berries, acorns, everything gives out. Then we start for the Agency to get rations. It is a long tramp, but I don't mind it, for mother does the walking. We form a pro- cession of two—a double header. Mother heads the front and I head the rear. As the column moves forward 1 go ahead bac kward like a born leader of the hindmost, and 1 pass everything on the road that is not going my way. Of course 1 can not see what I am coming to till I am going away from it. and 1 can't dodge it till it is past That is what comes of going ahead back. ward, = My people are pretty mue h like me.
