Advice of a Red Man.

Kate D. Sweetser, after compiling the material for her recently published “Book of Indian Braves,” became much impressed by the patios of Chief Joseph’s surrender and the subsequent treatment his tribe received. She quotes Joseph’s opinion about the relations which should exist between white men and Indians. “There need be no trouble. Treat all men alike,” he wrote. “They are all brothers. If you pen an Indian up on a small spot of earth and compel him to stay there, he will not be contented, nor will he grow and prosper. • * ♦ Whenever the white man treats the Indian as they treat each other, then we shall have no more wars.” *. <
