The Methods Used by the Red
Men to Communicate
SIGNS THAT SPEAK VOLUMES
Sticks and Stones Have a Language of
Their Own and Serve to Indicate Di
rection Departure Intention Warn
ing Claim or Demand
As time has passed and civilization
has changed Indian conditions I was
under the Impression that our red
brothers had forgotten the use of
signs in their travels but as 1 was
loitering about the hills in Siskiyou
county some time ago I came across
a genuine Indian sign such as I had
not seen for a dozen years before It
was a simple little sign in appearance
but it was full of meaning to those
who could read it a long stick with
one end stuck in the ground the other
leaning and pointing up the road The
stick was elevated at an angle of only
about ten degrees from the ground
and was supported on a stone It told
some Indian that his friend had been
along there and had gone ahead in the
direction pointed out by the stick
I marveled at it but on investiga
tion found that the Indians of Califor
nia still use signs to convey intelli
gence to each each I found that
among the Cocopahs Cohuillas Plmas
and Yumas the sign is as much in use
as ever
While traveling in San Bernardino
county later on I came across a pecu
liar grouping of stones and at once
saw that some Indian had left a sign
so that ali other Indians might know
that water was to be found in a cer
tain direction The stones were lying
in a complete circle and in the center
was a long triangular stone with the
sharp point indicating a specific direc
tion The sign was plain to one versed
in such things and In order to see if
the same sign was universal for I had
seen it elsewhere I followed the direc
tion pointed out by the long stone and
found a little spring
This arrangement of stones I had
often seen in a dozen different places
In the middle west and as a variant
which was also found in California I
have seen a mound of stones similar
to a miners monument with a pointed
stone resting on top pointing toward
water In many parts of the country
especially in the desert parts of Cali
fornia and Arizona the question of
water supply for travelers is one that
requires serious consideration and I
have known men to pass within a few
hundred yards of water without know
ing it because they could not read In
dian signs The sign was in plain
view aud was placed there because the
Indians recognized the necessity of tell
ing all who came along that they could
find water True there was not a big
board set up with Water painted on
it but to the initiated it was equally
plain There is not a trail in all the
southwest that runs near a spring that
does not have the sign openly display
ed I have even seen instances where
the water was so far from the regular
trail that special signs have been made
to show where It is
Sometimes however these circles
may not mean water at all and then
it is necessary to understand the intri
cacies of the Indian mind to understand
just what he is driving at I remem
ber once when I was hunting on the
Republican river I came across a circle
of buffalo skulls which attracted my
attention because of their peculiar ar
rangement Sixteen skulls were set in
a semicircle with their noses pointing
down the river In the center of the
circle was a skull on which were paint
ed thirty six red lines Xear the skulls
were two small sticks placed upright in
the grTnd and at the top of each
stick were tied two bundles of hair
A Pawnee Indian was with me and
told me that thirty six Pawnees had
camped there They had made a raid
against a camp of Comanches contain
ing sixteen tents or lodges and had
taken four scalps They were now re
turning home down the river To the
ordinary observer this arrangement of
skulls and sticks would have given no
more impression than the idea that
some one had been amusing himself by
playing with these buffalo skulls To
the Indian the arrangement was a
complete story
Indians use signs for several specific
purposes the most prevalent being that
of guidance but they are also used for
direction departure intention condi
tion warning and claim or demand I
was hunting with a party of TJtes in
southwestern Colorado and we had
separated with the understanding that
we were to meet again at a specified
place and all go back to the village to
gether On reaching the appointed
place one of the party was not there
but the rest started to the village pay
ing no attention to his nonappearance
I asked if they were not going to wait
until he came back but they said he
had been there and had gone on to the
village without waiting for us to come
up When 1 expressed surprise I was
shown a long stick standing in the
trail with a bunch of grass fastened to
its top The stick was leaning toward
the village and this told the story of
the missing man as plainly as if he
had written a letter about it I found
that a similar stick had been erected
at the top of every hill between there
and where the village could be seen
He took no chances of the sticks fall
ing down and told the story over sev
eral times
The same sign is used by the Indians
of southern Alaska and also by the
Winnebagoes of Manitoba The Sioux
use a split stick with a short stick in
the split pointing in the direction tak

WAVING A FAREWELL
Tho President on His Now Historic
Trip Down the Mississippi
St Louis gave the president of the
United States a great welcome when
he arrived then on his way down the
Mississippi to th deep waterways con
vention at Memphis Mr Roosevelt
was greeted by the ringing of bells
the screeching of whistles the burst
ing of bombs and cheers from tens of
thousands of throats on his arrival
and by an equally enthusiastic demon
stration at the conclusion of his short

visit when he returned to the steamer
Mississippi and waved his farewell as
represented in the snapshot reproduced
in this column
It Is a long time since a chief execu
tive of the nation lias taken a trip hav
ing so many unusual features as that
of Mr Roosevelt by steamboat down
the Mississippi Presidents usually
travel by railroad in these days when
touring the country and for a chief
magistrate to depart so far from cus
tom as to take a long steamboat jour
ney Is enough in Itself to attract atten
tion The fact that the president was
accompanied on this tour by the gov
ernors of almost all the western states
and by many senators and congress
men added to the Interest of the jour
ney It Is an interesting coincidence
that Mr Roosevelts grandfather on
his fathers side commanded the first
steamboat that ran on the Mississippi
In 1811 this ancestor Captain Roose
velt took a steamboat down the Ohio
and Mississippi to New Orleans being
the very first to make such a trip The
presidents grandmother also made the
voyage
COUNTESS OF WARWICK
Famous English Society Leader and
Socialist Who Is Now In America
The Countess of Warwick who ar
rived in America a short time ago
does not court publicity during her
visit but the facts pertaining to her
career make it natural the people of
this country should be interested in
her To begin with the circumstance
that she is a Socialist is enough to
mark her out as an individual of un
usual character Nor is she a crank or
anarchist by any means in appearance
Her beauty was the talk of England
when she was younger and she retains
her good looks still to a remarkable
degree She was at one time in high
favor with the king then Prince of
Wales and was considered one of the
cleverest women in society But the

THE COUNTESS OP WARWICK
waj s of the smart set palled on her
and she sought more serious work as
an outlet for her energies
For years she has busied herself
with a multitude of philanthropies
and with studies into economic condi
tions Her observations and sympa
thies have led her to espouse the So
cialist cause and she now finds her
self in rather an anomalous position as
a woman of wealth and title and at
the same time an advocate of a system
which is built upon the idea of aboli
tion of all distinctions of rank and
riches She has thus far endeavored to
reconcile the apparent inconsistencies
of her position by using her wealth
and influence to advance the theories
which appeal to her interest and im
prove the condition of the working
people of her country It is said that
one of her objects in visiting America
is to obsce the workings of the pub
lic ownership principle where it has
been tried here She is a woman of
much culture and charm of manner
and her husbands ancestral home
