Lo and His Blankets.

The Indians make blankets of bark beaten very thin. The bark is stamped with fancy figures in brown and red and is trimmed with fur. Palm leaves are beaten together and are also made into blankets. An Indian is always cold, even in hot weather, and his blanket is as precious to him as our sun bats are to us.
