AN INDIAN SEER.
The XjRterloni Gift Poasesaed by An OM1
St. Francoig Redskin.
In reading the advertising columns,
of any popular daily one can not but be
surprised at the number of clairvoyants
and other seers, who even in this age of
skepticism find it profitable to advertise
their powers. My experience with these
gifted people is slight, but unique and
worth relating. I was once traveling
in northern Nebraska with a guide \*?ho
knew the wilderness about us as a farm
knows his fields. One night we
went into camp by a small spring,
where a partv of Indian*, had pitched
their tent. Ihev were of the St. Fran
cois tribe, and old acquaintances of my
guide. One of them he pointed out to
me as having received his Government
annuity one hundred and seven years.
If he had set his age at one hundred and
seventy I should not have disputed it.
He was a mere shadow of a mnn, dried
and withered until he scarcely looked
human. His head was bald and pol
ished his face like dried rawhide. His
name in English was Louis Coska,
but his own people called him by a
many-jointed name meaning one who
can call the spirit out. I suppose West-
er
ern Indians calls such medicine men
"What can you show me? Where
can you send my soul?" I asked, curi
ously, whew I had listened to a long ac
count of his doings. He shook his
head and chuckled and looked at me
awhile, and then said: "May be you
hain't got no soul. Well, I will see!"
Supper was over by this time and the'
fires dying down, but he pushed the
charred ends together until they began
to smolder but did not blaze. He di-!
rected me where to stand and told rae
to look into the fire. From a buckskin!
bag swung around his neck he took
bits of bark and gum and threw them
into the embers, muttering all the tim*
a sing-song sort of chant. His looks,!
his motions, as he would bend nearer,.'
nearer the fire as if to warm himself
and then suddenly spring up to niorei
than natural height, swinging!
one foot and one hand alters
nately, were so funny that I had to fix}
my
whole mind on the fire to avoid
laughing. I will say that I thought hirni
a humbug that he could have any!
power over me I did not believe. As
gazed the embers brightened. Fron?
the bits of bark cast in there came whi|f«
of perfume indescribably sweet, fol-j
lowed by a stench, stifling and noisome!
beyond compare. By this time thcj
woods beyond the gleam of our fire was
in darkness, and as I gazed the gloom}
seemed to lift—to swing out like a cur-f
tain. The coal upon which I gazed be*j
came a flame around the flame then*
was formed a crystal case, which, as ij
looked, became a lamp chimney. The!
old man screamed a final word, and!
thrust me forward almost on to the fire/
Still gazing I saw this: A room, largoi1
and comfortably furnished, lit by a sin^
gle lamp. Lamplight and nrelightj
gleamed on many articles known to mef
of old, and beside the fire, with knit
ting in her hand and Bible on her knee,
sat my mother. Every feature was dis-]
tinct. I noted the gray threads among)
the locks once so blaclc. I saw that her.
lips trembled and her eyes were wet.]
It was of me she thought. It was my'
absence that wether eyes with tears. Ij
knew this in some undefined way, but ij
knew it, and I bent nearer and nearer..
Suddenly her face became convulsed,
her lips quivered. She raised her handsj
toward Heaven. "Mybov!"she whig-?
pered. "O my boy!" she murmured,!
when, prestoi"as if the word had had!
power to dissolve the charm, room,'
lamp and mother all were gone, and I|
was struggling in the arms of the guide,
but for whose interference I should have
fallen face foremost into the fire. Thej
conjurer brought a dish of water and,
flung it over "the coals, extinguishing
them completely, and hobbled away to1,
roost without a word in reply to myj
questions, without even glancing in my
direction, and when I rose in the morn
ing after a troubled sleep their camp
was deserted, and I never saw thwa
again.—Cor.
