Two of Buffalo Bill's Indians daubed
their faces with fresh paint yesterday
morning and started out to see the world's
fair without a guide. They took the
trail that runs due east from the Sixty-
second street entrance, and finding
that it ended in the lake they
turned into the manufactures building.
They wandered aimlessly through the labyrinth
of exhibits until they reached the
British section, and halted before a big glass
case containing a choice assortment
of wigs, whiskers, frizzes and other
articles in false hair. They grunted
their satisfaction at the exhibit and
were preparing to seek other sources of enjoyment
when the wig that covered the
waxen image of an English swell raised in
the air and revealed a shiny, bald head.
The sight was too much for Indian flesh and
blood to stand. A smothered whoop
came from the mouth of one of the braves
and the other instinctively slapped his
hand to his belt to feel for his knife. They
looked at each other in amazement, and then
turned away. Before they reached the
nearest door they were going in a lope, and
once outside they never slackened their
speed until they were inside the high board
fence that surrounds Colonel Cody's show. | 62Chicago Herald
