Hut of Havasupai Chief.
THE recent discovery by scien
tists of a lost tribe of Ameri
can Indians—the Havasupai—
walled up In obscurity in a
deep canyon of western Arizona re
veals a situation so astonishing that
it would seem incredible If the story
came from a source less reliable than
the American Museum of Natural His
tory, writes J. A. Brashears In the
New York Sun.
Cloistered in a fertile valley, where
sheer walls cut the great, plateau to
a depth of 3,000 feet, Leslie Spier, a
member of the museum's staff, has
found a tribe of wild primitive In
dians still living the lives of their an
cestors and tn almost total ignorance
of the forward march of civilization.
Here on the hanks of Cataract creek,
which flows northward to cascade in
to the torrents of the Grand Canyon,
these aborigines nnd their forebears
have lived for ten centuries with sel
dom a glimpse of the territory lying
beyond the canyon top. The chief of
the tribe counts the visits of the white
man on the fingers of one hand.
Anthropologists have poked into the
utmost corners of the earth, from pole
to pole; havp studied and classified the
various tribes of Indians for years,
while In some remarkable manner the
Havasupai, living within our very bor
ders, have escaped notice.
These Indians—there now are only
175 in the tribe—constitute the only
purely aboriginal and primitive com
munity In the United States today.
They- have lived like hermits. The
customs and machines, the social ad
vances of the outside world have fail
ed to penetrate the fastness of their
realm.
Not Easy to Visit Them.
To reach their home, a 50-mile ride
over a waterless tract Is necessary.
When the brink of the chasm is
reached the drop of 3,000 feet has to
tie made mostly on foot along a hardly
perceptible trail. Only a small pert
of the hazardous twelve-mile descent
can be made mounted. One must lit
erally cling to the walls of the canyon.
In no place is the trail wider than
three feet nnd the animals rub their
sides raw through scraping along the
side of the canyon.
In one place the two wails come
together nnd form n corner. Here It
is necessary to make a 500-foot drop
by zigzagging from wall to wall. This
is the most perilous section of the
journey for the trail is nothing more
than a series of steps. The animals
must jump from one to the other. As
the men on foot must walk In front
their lives are constantly endangered.
Should a pack animal miss Its footing
flit* man In front would he knocked to
oblivion.
Today the Havasupai subsist on a
marvelously cultivated tract two and
one-quarter miles long and about one
qunrter of a mile wide. They depend
chiefly on agriculture for their sup
port, but in former days they descend
ed far south down their valley In quest
of deer, antelope nnd hear. The camps
are situated along the east side of the
creek, which Irrigates the land so well
that enough food Is harvested off this
small section of one and one-half
square tnlles to supply them from sea
son to season.
Some of Their Customs.
Mr. Spier classifies the tribe as "In
termediary," since their culture em
braces traits peculiar to ttie four ad
jacent tribes of the southwest area.
“In general characteristics,” he said,
“they lean more toward the Pueblos of
northern Mexico. The custom that pre
vails among the Pueblos—that of the
men and women working together In
the field—also exists among the Supal.
"The men also make clothing out of
buckskin, a domestic trait character
istic of the Pueblos. The Influence of
the other adjacent tribes, while slight,
may be seen In the construction of
various types of huts and tepees. The
Havasupai build four different types.
There Is a log nnd mud hut common
among the Nnvajos; the conleal
thatched tepee built to a great exlent
among the Mohuves and the square
thatched hut of the Plateau Indians.
“Among the American Indians,” he
| eontinupd. “the nomadic nnd warlike
traits predominate, but the Havasupai
are unique in this respect. They are
peaceubly inclined and happy in the
contemplation of their own works.
Expert Com Grower*.
The Havasupai live lu camps during
the summer months along the creek in
the midst of their farms. They are
expert in raising corn crops.
The deep canyon bed. Irrigated by
the cataract, is an oasis in the arid
desert which surrounds the canyon.
Corn, beans, squash and fruit are
raised in abundance and the peaches
are especially delicious, according to
Mr. Spier. The nearby mountains
abound in sheep, deer, antelope ami
wild turkeys, so there is no lack of
fresh meat.
In winter the tribe takes to the
ledges and caves on the mountain side
high above the danger levels. Cataract
creek always overflows during the
rainy season and inundates the land.
“Here,” said Mr. Spier, “I found some
most interesting caves, unquestiona
bly carved out of the walls by a pre
historic race. I found some fragmen
tary pottery in various places which
supported my theory.
“These caves,” he continued, “serve
as excellent shelters, and here each
family builds its storehouse for pre
serving it* grain and meat. These are
constructed out of mud, baked bard
and then sealed.”
Native Turkish Bath.
The chief diversion among the males
is to foregather about the various
sweat lodges to gossip and discuss
affairs of the tribe. The sweat lodge
Is their Turkish bath. A bed of straw
is laid down and a covering placed
over it. It Is made just large enough
for one man to crawl Inside. Muskets
containing red-hot rocks are pin>.«.<• —■
side and water Is then poured over
them, producing a cloud of steam.
The covering holds the steam inside
ami as soon as the sweating process is
deemed to have progressed sufficiently
the bather Jumps out for a "shock" In
the ley waters of the cataract. As
each man finishes his bath he joins the
circle, all In breecbclouts, for the dis
cussion of tribal affairs.
The women do not devote all of
their afternoons to domestic pursuits.
They have a passion for gambling, Mr.
Spier says, and for several hours af
ter the day’s toll in the fields they con
gregate and play at dice. The game Is
somewhat like the American game of
crops, although four dice are used,
fashioned out of goat’s horn.
Today one never finds American In
dians using anything hut matches to
light their tires. The Havasupai still
use primitive fire drills. Up to 1910
the stoue knife was used exclusively.
Lately some modern implements have
filtered in through the government
ugent. They have some horses and a
small number of cattle with which
they are having splendid success.
No Marriage Ceremony.
Marriage in the canyon is without
ceremony. The bride’s consent having
been won in the orthodox fashion the
couple merely live together without
further ado. The brave must make
payment, however, to the bride * pa
rents, and tlie customary form Is to
give bis service In the fields of his
“in-laws” until the first child has been
born. This method of payment is
strictly enforced. There is no divorce
recognized among the Havasupai.
Of tlie two chiefs Mr. Spier said:
"They have absolutely no prerogatives
in the matter of power over the tribe.
The tribe as a whole works well to
gether and the members feel a certain
definite social consciousness. It Is the
business of the chiefs to act as media
tors when matters need adjustment,
but whatever laws exist are enforced
through public opinion. The chiefs
are charged with advising tlie young
women and instructing tlie youths
growing into manhood. There is no
capital punishment, and instead of the
death penalty for murder tlie offend
ing party must make a payment In
land or goods. Illegitimacy does no'
exist among them. Every child that
is born lias a recognized father and in
odium attaches to offspring, ns hap
pens so frequently among people ol
higher social development.”
The Little Button
How dear to the heart of each gray
bearded soldier
Are the thoughts of the days when he
once wore the Blue;
When memory recalls each
trial and danger,
And scenes of the past
are brought back to
his view.
Though long since discard
ing his arms and
equipment.
There’s one thing a vet
eran most surely will
note.
The first tiling he sees on
the form of a comrade
la the little Bronze But
ton he wears on his
coat
CHORl'S
The little Brown Rutton.
The Soored Bronze Button.
The Grand Army Button.
He nears on his coat.
"How much did It cost?" said a man to a
soldier,
"Thai little Hat button you wear on
your coat?"
"Ten cents In good money." he answered
the stranger,
"And four years of hard marching, and
fighting to hoot
"The wealth of the world cannot purchase
this emblem.
"Except tlial the buver had once worn
the Blue;
"And l! proves to mankind the full worth
of a hero—
"A man to his home and his country
was true "
Then let us be proud of the Little Bronze
Button,
And wear It with spirit, both loyal and
bold.
Fraternally welcome each one who dis
plays It.
With love In our hearts for the com
rades of old.
Each dav musters out whole battalions of
wearers.
And soon will be missed the small token
so dear;
Tet millions will learn what this emblem
betokens.
The Little Bronze Button that tells of
“no fear.”
One Country Now.
This Is undeniably a reunited coun
try. Northern find southern Interests
nre today Identical and In an Infinite
variety of ways the two sections have
been knit together so firmly that never
again can they be sundered by any
conceivable political difference. The
Civil war settled definitely the prin
ciple of Union and the South has ac
cepted the verdict In a manner to
leave no question as to Its sincerity
and Irs determination to remain per
manently true to fhe flng that now
waves from coast to coast and bound
ary to boundary.—Exchange.
Most Union Soldiers Under Age.
The United States commissioner of
pensions furnished these figures, ul
tliough he did not vouch for them:
-iif 0,175.484 men enlisted for our civil
war 4.4H4.270 were under 21 years of
age at the time of enlistment. More
that) t.lOO.OOtf were under 17 and over
KHUKHi we- under 15 More than OK)
were uniter 12 and 25 under 10.’
SUMMER BRINGS LARGER HATS
Brighter Sunshine Causes Demand for
Broader Brims to Protect Face
and Eyes.
With the approach of late sprint
and early summer weather, the tdg hat
Is coming actively into its own. Tht
first spring lays demand that tht
headgear selected shall tie small and
rather close reefed to withstand wind
and weather, and a hat of this type
is very smart with narrow straight
line tailored suit or frock. Hut Idg
hats are almost uniformly becoming,
and when late spring and suinmei
suns begin to shine, a spreading bat
brim is n great protection to the eyes
and complexion.
When trimming is used on the spring
or summer chapeau, flowers usually
are first choice. All kinds of garden
flowers are lined up in the millinery
field this season. Hollyhocks, pop
pies, bleeding hearts, violets, and
roses, of course, anil lilies, including
those of the pond and calla family,
are ajgiroved. Klbbon flowers art
fashionable, also, some of the smart
est hats showing clusters of very real
looking asters, sunflowers, etc., mude
of narrow ribbon in carefully selected
colors.
SMART SUGGESTIONS
Sailor collars are smnrt.
Suits have very narrow belts.
Coats are very ample in the back.
Afternoon dresses are not very long.
The tablier blouse Is being made in
wash materials.
The frilled lingerie blouse Is gaining
in popularity.
Skirts for afternon wear promise to
be more full.
A revival of the real lace collar Is
Strongly suggested.
