clothes, she pushed him out of the lodge,
and dropped the door.

"Things didn't look very good to that man, I tell you, but to get even
with the woman, he went up on the steep hillside and commenced to roll
big rocks down upon her lodge. He kept this up until one of the
largest rocks knocked down the lodge, and the woman ran out, crying.

"When the man heard the woman crying, it made him sorry and he ran down
the hill to her. She sat down on the ground, and the man ran to where
she was and said:

"'I am sorry I made you cry, woman. I will help you fix your lodge. I
will stay with you, if you will only let me.'

"That pleased the woman, and she showed the man how to fix up the lodge
and gather some wood for the fire. Then she let him come inside and
eat. Finally, she made him some clothes, and they got along very well,
after that.

"That is how the man found his wife--Ho!"

DREAMS

As soon as manhood is attained, the young Indian must secure his
"charm," or "medicine." After a sweat-bath, he retires to some lonely
spot, and there, for four days and nights, if necessary, he remains in
solitude. During this time he eats nothing; drinks nothing; but spends
his time invoking the Great Mystery for the boon of a long life. In
this state of mind, he at last sleeps, perhaps dreams. If a dream does
not come to him, he abandons the task for a time, and later on will
take another sweat-bath and try again. Sometimes dangerous cliffs, or
other equally uncomfortable places, are selected for dreaming, because
the surrounding terrors impress themselves upon the mind, and even in
slumber add to the vividness of dreams.

At last the dream comes, and in it some bird or animal appears as a
helper to the dreamer, in trouble. Then he seeks that bird or animal;
kills a specimen; and if a bird, he stuffs its skin with moss and
forever keeps it near him. If an animal, instead of a bird, appears in
the dream, the Indian takes his hide, claws, or teeth; and throughout
his life never leaves it behind him, unless in another dream a greater
charm is offered. If this happens, he discards the old "medicine" for
the new; but such cases are rare.

Sometimes the Indian will deck his "medicine-bundle" with fanciful
trinkets and quill-work At other times the "bundle" is kept forever out
of the sight of all uninterested persons, and is altogether unadorned.
But "medicine" is necessary; without it, the Indian is afraid of his
