In country towns the iences, sheds and barn doors will bloom in the spring with gaudy thirty two sheet posters, representing the Kickapoo Indians preparing over camp fires their wonderful lierb medicines that cure all ill?, and traveling troupes of fakirs will nitch their tents on the greens, give free wild west shows, lure the ailing countrymen, and thus get them within the reach of the gifted lecturer who expounds the merits of the nostrums. Preparations for the patent medicine campaign are being made in the top story of a building in "West street, and fel lows glib of tongue are being hired to travel as talkers with the shows. Fifty separate Kickapoo companies are thus being fitted out, each to consist of six genuine Indians, four white performers or fakirs and one bill poster, all un der the management of a medicine lecturer. The outfit consists of a stace, dressing room and doc- tor'b tents, Indian tepees, boxes of fireworks, pamphlets, circulars and hooks of astoundinir fiction about the wonderful medical discoveries of the Kickapoos, who are pictured in the act of boiling herbs. Jn the left of the big building a laboratory is iunning full blast, turning out Kickapoo remedies by the hogshead, but as the noble Kickapoo of the thirty-two sheet poster cannot stand JNew l ork climate in the winter his s-ervices are dispensed with, and plain ordinary white men are boiling the herbs by steam. In one cor ner of the loft conical canvas tents are stretched by ropes from the rafters, and a man walks about with a pot of p.iintand a big britbli decorating them with rude aborig inal art. These will be Indian tepee, warranted genuine frnin Kickapoolnnd. Hanging from tin walls are camp kettles, small wa ter casks painted by the same art ist who does the tepees, highly colored posters, government blan kets of various hue-, tomahawks, head dress, scalping kniw-.-, -le., and all around ate piled hos of bottled medicine, prepated by the white Kickapoos in the laborutorx In the nian.igei.sj offices I -1 -i curios an profusely si- ttii-i i annual, lielics fioin the liel.i oi of the Custer massacre, necklaces of grizly claws. I'awnei- hi ii-ki ts war clubs and quivers of anovvs are numerous, and the walls ate covered with colored plates show ing the costumes of various Indian tribes. There are photographs, too, of people who are or have been on the road with Kickapoo companies voung men with long hair and wide hats, doing the scout act as Mountain Jims, Colo rado Charleys or Handsome Har rys; smooth shaven gentlemen, wearing tall hats in one picture and burnt cork and flip flap shoes in another; fakirs and minstrels of all kinds. A small man sits at the desk and receives applications from lectur ers, banjo players, sleight of hand men and tumblers. "We want men who know how to talk and manage a show," he says. "Our lecturers and doctors need not have diplomas. They don't prac tice medicine, but just talk up In dian remedies to the crowds. If a countryman comes in and says he is ailing, the doctor sells him a bottle of bitters, or liniment, or a box of salve, and tells him that is what he needs. Any man who has had experience in lecturing for shows will do. He can listen to one of our men a few times and pick up all there is necessary. We pay from 15 to 625 a week and traveling expenses, but no board. In the summer time when we camp out, the white people can club to gether and live very cheaply. "lhe Indians have nothing to do but sing and dance, and that is fun for them. Most of the time they lie around and smoke, and they enjoy loafing. Where do we get our Kickapoos? Well, most of them are Pawnees from the res ervation, although we have a few Sioux. We get permission from the interior department to hire them, and the agent at the reser vation sends them to us. We are responsible for them and must send them back wher.everthey want to go home. It gives them a chance to see civilized life, and it is not very difficult to get them. Once in a while a Pawnee gets homesick, and doesn't want to travel as a Kickapoo with the show, and then we have to pay his fare back and lose money on him, but generally they stay with us. The business is a good one, be cause most people, country people particularly, have a notion that Indians must know the secrets of nature, and can cure anything with herbs, and they will buy In dian medicines for that reason. We send out Indians because they will always draw crowds. The performers give a free show to keep the crowds, and then the lecturers talk medicine to them." The least important qualification of a Kickapoo Indian doctor evi dently is a knowledge of medi cine. All he needs is cheek, lo quacity and some acquaintance with the show business. If he has cultivated long hair and wears a sombrero, his education is com plete. Between Buffalo Bill and the patent medicine men, the In dian problem seems likely to be solved without expense to the government. If good for nothing else, the noble savage is a first rate advertisement, and it makes no difference to him whether he is billed as a Cheyenne to bury the property hatchet, or as a Kicka poo boiling weeds. So long as he is not asked to work, it is all the same lo him. New York Fun. Prophylactic Fluid.
