[Transcriber's Note:

This e-text comes in three forms: Unicode (UTF-8), Latin-1 and ASCII.
Use the one that works best on your text reader.

--In the UTF-8 (best) version, a small group of words will appear
with a macron ("long" mark) on a or u:
Tsinuk (six times), tamahno-us (three times), me-mel-us-illa-hee,
Kaw-a-wah, Tah-zee (twice each)
There is also a single Greek word. The letter "oe" displays as a
single character, and apostrophes and quotation marks are "curly"
or angled. If any part of this paragraph displays as garbage, try
changing your text reader's "character set" or "file encoding". If
that doesn't work, proceed to:

circumflex (a or u) instead of a macron, the Greek word will be
transliterated and shown between #marks#, and the form "oe" is two
letters. The three long French passages still have the appropriate
accents, but apostrophes and quotation marks will be straight
("typewriter" form). Again, if you see any garbage in this
paragraph and can't get it to display properly, use:

--The ASCII-7 or rock-bottom version. In this version, all diacritics
(accents) are gone, _i
