Once an Indian told Mole Tequop that he had been to Washington and seen a circus In which a white man rode a horse that jumped over five other horses. First he made the sign for a white man and then for a man on u horse. Then he placed five horses in a row and had his white man on a horse run down an incline and make the lenp. In telling about the elephant lie had to improvise, so to speak. He stretched Wt his arm in front, with the hand curved in and 4k>wn. Then he reached down and picked up an apple and curved his arm and band up to his mouth, in excellent imitation of an elephant's trunk. J • • . Signs often have more than one meaning. An , Indian says "I aip a Pawnee," by making a V of "•ho- and second fingers und extending his arm. w'Vw conversation the same sign means wolf, the fln- •' . ®ers indenting the ears. The same sign also X." l|>eans wisdom. Inasmuch as the wolf Is considered n pretty wise sort of animal--and he is or he -. Would have been exterminated long ago. The ; ianie two fingers pointed to the ground say, "I ' ||ave considered." / It Is a pleasure to watch an Indian talking flu- - "v. " subtly In the Sign Language. He makes his signs '-'.'ta graceful movements in a small space In front *•' him. There is a surface line about three feet .from the ground. { Lieutenant Scott--and by the way he U< a great- V.'VS^eat-granclson of Benjamin Franklin--began his '-#udy of the Sign Language early In his career. • He was assigned to active duty In the Seventh Cavalry at Bismarck, Dakota, the fall of 1876, and took part in the Sioux campaign of that year. The .. i|ext year he was in the Nez Ferce expedition. In •net, from 1876 to 1879 he was busy fighting various tribes in Indian Territory, Kansas, Wyoming. Idaho, Dakota, Nebraska and Montnna. Then for ten years or so he was on routine duty, principally with the Plains Indiana.

But all three Indians sit down on a blanket and chat all the afternoon about any old thing from a pony race to Liberty bonds and from a circus to William Hohenzollern. It will not be what you would call a noisy conversation exactly, because these three Indians will oae the Sign Language of the American Plains Indian. On the other hand it will not be like three deaf and dumb persons making lat*. ten with their fingers. For this Sign l.nngnnf Is a real language. And there Is" one paleface who can Join the talkfest and outtalk all three Los, for he has a larger vocabulary than any Poor Indian on the Plains. The white man, you know, can always beat the Indian at his own game, when he sets his mind to it. And that's saying a good deal, for the Americln Indian Is the best natural fighter this world has ever seen. If you doubt that, brush up your history by reading about Braddoek and St. Clair and Custer. Yet Daniel Boons, George Rogers Clark, Kit Carson. Old Jim Bridger, John Colter and other heroes of aw frontier days out-Indlaned the Indian--that's why they survived and achieved Immortality. This one white man who can outtalk any Indian in the Sign Language Is known to all Indians as Mole Tequop--He-Talks-Wlth-His-Hands. In "Who's Who" you can read a lot about Mole Teqyop from the viewpoint of the paleface by turning to "Maj. Gen. Hugh Lenox Scott, D. 8. A." The Indians will tell you--as "Who's WhoP does not--that Mole Tequop 'knows more than a thousand signs which represent several thousand American words And he should know consider able about the Sign Language, for he was graduated from West Point a second lieutenant In the United States army eleven days after Custer aad 280 of his troopers were wiped out In 1876 by Sitting Bull on the Little Big Horn and has been studying the universal language of the Plalaa ever since. He knows so much about It In fact that Uncle Sam relieved him from active duty 1^ 1897 for a year fend set him down in the bnreau of ethnology of the Smithsonian institution to wirite a work on the subject And has Mole Tequop's study of the Sign Laj^ guage been worth while? It has indeed. Far this veteran has also brains and character and personality and the archives of the War depait> ment show that many an impending outbreak of tribes all over the West was headed off by Mole Tequop and much bloody frontier fighting ther»> by averted. General Scott was born in Kentucky In 1853 and should have been retired by law Id 1917. But he was then chief of staff of the United States army and the nation needed him in that year of emergency. So he was kept on activ* duty until 1919. Now, at seventy-one, he Is a member of the Board of Indian Commissioners. This board, created in 1869, is a body of unpaid citizens appointed by the President. It Is net a bureau or division of any department, but li purposely kept independent and Is afforded opportunity of Investigation that It may freely express an impartial and intelligent opinion regarding the much-vexed Indian legislation and administration. General Scott, as a member of this board anrf * a friend of the Indian, paid a visit the other dn;::"' to the Blackfeet on their reservation along the eastern boundary of Glacier National park In Montana. The photograph reproduced shows Mole Tequop and Chief Under Bears starting in *9 a long confab la the Sign Language "Feeling strong?" Is what the white man's hands are saying. "Yes," say the Indian's hands. Back of them rises the "shadowy form of the Plains Indian of the old days, holding his right arm aloft with his palm open In the peace sign. A full lengtlt photograph of General Scott at the present timo shows what a soldierly figure is this veteran, even in his old age. Another photograph shows a group at Browning, where Supt. F. C. Campbell has his office. The sketch shows General Scott making the sign for bighorn, the picturesque Rocky Mountain sheep, whose most striking characteristic Is bis lsrge horns, curving down and In. This bighorn sign Illustrates a basic fsct of the Sign Language: The Indian almost Invariably takes the most ssllent feature of anything» In making a sign for It. "Takes?" Oh, yes; the Sign Language Is a growing language--or else it could not survive. If It did not adapt Itself to the times, how could up-to-date matters be discussed? When an Indian wants to mske the signof the former kaiser of the German empire, now hiding in exile, he simply Interlocks six fingers and two thumbs, puts his hands across his mouth and sticks up his two Index fingers toward his eyes--In other words, to the Indian the big thing about the German kaiser Is his mustache. Remember, please, that about 12,000 American Indlans responded to the call to the colors In the World war--and thev are talking about it yet. Some of the signs, howev*|t are not so obvious. This is to be expected, since the Sign Language is an old, old language. It probably had Its beginning when the tribes, each with a language of its own, met on the Plains In their hunting expeditions. So some of its sign# long ai|tedat*. the advent of Europeans. One of the very old signs, of course, is that for buffulo. Mole Tequop says that for many years he Inquired about it and invariably the answer wss: "My father told me that was the sign for buffalo." Now, the buffalo sign is this: Yon make a fist of the left hand, small finger down. You draw the Index finger of the right hand back from the hollow made between the, thumb and Index finger of the fist. Mole Tequop, standing oa a bluff and looking down on Indians shooting buffalo, realized that the outstanding feature of a buffalo was his hump, suggesting the formation between index finger and thumb of the fist The Index flngA of the right hand is the arrow. . its withdrawal the drawing of the bow and the - whole action Is that of shooting the buffalo. Are you skeptical over Indians talking Sbout Liberty bonds in the Sign Language? Remember, please, that Indians bought over $25,000,000 of Liberty bonds and that Indians nowadays are very rich from oil lands, many of them. So naturally they have to talk about dollars, cash, credits snd Interest. Moreover, the Indian mind Is delightfully direct and logical on these subjects. The sign for the dollar In the Sign Language Is exactly as you yourself would muke It--the outline of the silver dollar made by curving the Index finger and the thumb. The sign for cash Is the placing of this dollar sign In the palm of , the other hand--money In hand. Credit Is Indicated by making a writing motion in the palm --the entries in the account books of the white man. And interest? Why, the Indian just naturally makes the dollar sign, then the credit sign and then the child sign. If interest Isn't the child of invested money, what Is It? With his eye for the characteristic feature of everything, the Indian Is usually delightfully direct in the Sign Language. For example, the white Jnan was the only one who wore a hat. So the sign for white man Is the passing of the. index linger along the line on the forehead where the brim of the bat comes. f . Always the young lieutenant was Interested In Hie Sign Language. He recognized In It a medium •f successful diplomacy with the Indians As a flule the Indian scouts employed by the cavalry Were useless ss Interpreters. He saw thst the first step to gaining the confidence of the various tribes was to he able to talk with them. Lieutenant Scott was fortunate In early gainlag the friendship of a remarkable Indian, I-See-O, • Kiowa. The Kiowas have probably killed more White men. In proportion to their numbers, than any other tribe. Yet I-See-O Is the most famous peacemaker the Plains have ever seen. He had a- deep love for the Indian, and the intelligence to •ee that In the long run their resistance to the white man was hopeless. He has proved his soldler courage many times under fire. He hss also had the moral courage to stand up at the council lire and tell the assembled warriors the exact truth of the situation. I-See-O became the guide, philosopher and friend of the young cavalry lieutennnt. taught him the refinements of the Sign Language and gave him a deep Insight Into the Indian mind. Together they headed off many s Moody outbreak. Today a tepee stands on the reservation at Fort Sill, Okla., Isolated from the rest of the post. In It lives I-See-O, seventy years of age and sole survivor of the Kiowa scout 'detachment. He Is Still a sergeant on full pay and allowance and he li nnlque In the army of the United Stftte* Ip that he Is never to be retired or demoted until the post bugler blows "taps" over his soldier's grave. It Was General Scott who secured for his friend snd fellow peacemaker and clever scout this unique reward for his services. The srmy has built him a comfortable shack, nicely furnished. But I-See- O will have none of It, except to use It as a store- .hipuse--the range he uses as s sort of chiffonier. - "General Scott's long snd enviable Indian record eentalns many notations like this: "Settled by diplomacy--." In fact, he seems to have been the federal government's main reliance In many times Of threatened trouble. From 1894 to 1897 he was In charge of Geronlmo's hand of Chlrlcahna Apaches. In 1908--after he had served In Cuba as adjutant and In the Philippines aa governor of the Sulu archipelago and had been four years superintendent of the United States Military academy with the rank of colonel--he was sent to settle the troubles of Navajos in New Mexico and Kickapoos In Arizona. In 1911 he was smoothing over matters with the Hop! Indians In New Mex too. In 1912 he took charge of the settlement In Oklahoma and New Mexico of the Apache prisoners of war. In 1913 he settled by diplomacy the Navajo Indian trouble at Beautiful Mountain, Ariz. In 1915 he settled the Piute trouble at Bluff, Utah--when he waa a major general and chief of staff. And Mole Tequop certainly possessed the respect of the fighting Indians of the Plains as s soldier, for In 1892 he enlisted and commanded Troop L, Seventh cavalry, made up of Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Indians. He held them to the service through five years of enlistment. The great war staged a fitting climax to Major General Scott's career as s soldier by putting him on the front line at Arras and Chalon In command of the Seventy-eighth division, A. K. F„ where he won his D. S. M. v Perhaps, however. Hugh Lenox Scott Is doing right now as Mole Tequop the best work of his long career In the service of his country. Certain It Is that when He-Talks-Wlth-Hls-Hands lifts his right hand with open palm and spreads his blanket on the ground--thereby saying in the Sign Language. "I come In peace and friendship. Come and sit down; I want to talk"--the wildest Plains Indian will accept th. Invitation and listen with open mind. And these days of new riches snd new citizenship and a new federal policy In the making are days when the Indian needs s tried and proved friend who understands him.
