g. The Professor noticed the
act, but he said nothing. The next morning Marmo called, and said:

"I can see why the White Chief told me it was well to act so the people
would not want another chief."

"But I am not acting in this way so that the people will want to keep me
as their chief."

This reply puzzled him.

"But why do you treat my people in this way?"

"Because he is a man just like myself. I have no right to treat him in
any other way."

"But he is only a ravoo (common) man."

"Why is he only a common man?"

"Because he is not a warrior, nor were his people warriors before him."

"But he is a man, the same as you and I are. Because he is not a
warrior, or was not born of some one who was a warrior, or if he does
not belong to the family of a chief, makes no difference to the white
man. His children may become chiefs, or great men, and if we show them
that they may become like we are, it will make all of them better, and
it will not injure us."

This philosophy was too deep for the chieftain. He could not comprehend
it, nor could he find words to express his opinions of the new light
which it gave him.

"Is that why you teach the people to make so many things?"

"No; that is for an entirely different reason. We teach people to make
these things so they may be able to help themselves and make their wives
and children happy. We try to teach them that it is wrong to be idle. To
let them know that there is a better way to live than by fighting each
other or injuring their neighbors."

"But why do you act so kindly to one of my people when we tried to kill
you?"

"That makes no difference to us now. You acted that way because you did
not know any better. You would not try to injure us now, would you? Do
you think that man would be my enemy? When he tells his friends what I
have done, will they be my enemy?"

"These things are all so new to me. There will be no more Tuolos, or
Osagas, or Berees."

"Yes; there will be the same tribes always. In the white man's country
there are still the same tribes in the different countries. They love to
think of their own country and their own people, even though they may
live with the other tribes, and when a man goes from one tribe to live
with another, the people protect him just the same as though he was one
of them."

The Professor was not yet through with his lesson, and suggested that
Marmo should accompany him. They wandered through the town, and call
