The glory of his traditions center in scenes of blood. He is a braggart, and the burden of his boasts in his deeds of daring. The youth listen to the old recount- ing the glorious memories of the bloody past; their imagination is fir- ed tothe highest pitch, and they long to prove their prowess. To the Indian’s mid the warior’s lite is the only living. The old ones, who nave had enough of suc- cessful war, may try to prevent, but the young spirit will prevail, and murder and plunder commence.
