Hi Wi AVER SOW, oaraatlioriied agents.
EED MEN AND MEDICINE.
The Business of Sending Out lidians
to Advertise Nostrums.
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.
