115A very pretty accident gave an unexpected American tinge to the climax of the interesting ceremonies. Cody's Indians were permitted to go upon the highest balcony of the administration building where they might see the flags run up. By an unintentional gauge of time that seemed strategic just as the machinery began to roar, the whistles blow and the magnificent chorus intone "My Country, 'Tis of Thee,'" these Indians in their resplendent war-paint, gorgeous necklets and representative American savagery appeared on the north abutment of the building, a blazing line of character moving along with high, flaunting crests of feathers and flaming blankets which stood out against the gleaming white of the staff dome like a rainbow cleft into remembrances of a lost, primitive glory. Nothing in the day's occurrences appealed to sympathetic patriotism so much as this fallen majesty slowly filling out of sight as the flags of all nations swept satin kisses through the air, waving congratulation to cultured achievement and submissive admiration to a new world. | 115A very pretty accident gave an unexpected American tinge to the climax of the interesting ceremonies.
