Wear ing a headdress of eagle feathers (strictly phoney, because the Chero kees never used this plains Indian gear), and other regalia, Carl is a sure-fire attention-getter, especially when he starts showing off his skill as an archer.

One day (a record) he got $36. Carl never asks for a tip and is just as cheerful with the non tippers as the tippers. He likes to have his picture made, too, and because of his pronounced Indian features, his picture has ap peared in hundreds of magazines and newspapers throughout the country.
