WHITE MAN AND RED MAN The Indian Excells in His Ability to Care for Himself in the Wilderness. The statement that two or three white men entered the Maine woods “in a state of nature” to see if they could work out their own salvation in the matter of securing a living with their bare hands, calls attention to what the Indian can accomplish in this line. For however resourceful the white man may be, the Indian has never been excelled in the matter of taking care of himself in the wilder ness. It has been but a little while since the Toledo Blade told of an Indian who became separated from his fel lows, away up in the Hudson bay coun try. He had no food, no protection against the weather, except a ragged suit of clothes and a pocket knife was his only weapon or implement. But he emerged from the wilderness next spring, fat, happy and in possession of several hundred dollars’ worth of furs. He managed to start a fire with his knife and a piece of flint, the Blade says. lie erected a shelter which turned snow and ice. With strips of bark he made fish lines, with thorns, books. Fish he found in plenty by breaking holes through the ice of the streams. He fashioned traps and es tablished a line of them. He made snow shoes, fur clothing, moccasius and a great cap he spoke of as a stove AVhen spring arrived this Indian had a canoe and be rode away on the first freshet with his store of wealth, in bet ter physical condition than he was when he parted from his friends. But he didn’t suppose there was anything unusual in the accomplishment. He accepted his success as a matter of fact, and will probably return to the scene to duplicate the adventure as the easiest way of making a living.
