'1"- were the true Americans—
tbe original pfbneers of a land that
destiny had marked for future great-
ness. And throughout the great tor-
ritory—on flower-dotted prairie. in
wooded glade and on the upper
reaches of vast mountain tract ind
rock-lodged fastness—‘they waged
their warfare with list and club and
arrow. Advancing. retreating. sue-
ceeding. failing-but fighting on
without knowledge of defeat. or indi-
cation of superiority. writes Fora~ C.

They were fighting men. those
lndians, and in their veins ran the
warm blood of a long line of fighting
men.
Then came the whites with their
superior civilization. their new-2r
methods of combat. their more
deadly weapons and their superior
numbers—and the lndian was crow-
ded hack and back until there was
lost all but the tradition of the might
he once had known.
That was five hundred years ago.
Now. five hundred years latter. two
giants of pugilism. off-springs of
these same'tribcs who once bat'i-‘d
foi' life and living. will renew the
combat that their ancestors ceased.
And by a strange prank of fate :hat

white civilization which meant the
red man's overthrow. Perchance
