" He told me I must go the tent of the Strong- Heart and eat raw dog. 33 It don't agree with me. I prefer simple food. I prefer pork-pie because then I know what I'm eating. 38 " Raw dog" While sojourning for a day in a camp of Sioux Indians we were informed that the warriors of the tribe were accustomed to eat raw dog to give them courage previous to going to battle. Artemus was greatly amused with the information. When, in after years, he became weak and languid, and was called upon to go to ...lecture, it was a favourite joke with him to inquire, " Kingston, have you got any raw dog?" 174- ARTEMUS WARD'S LECTURE. But as raw dog was all they proposed to give to me I had to eat it or starve. So at the expira- tion of two days I seized a tin plate and went to the chief's daughter and I said to her in a silvery voice in a kind of German-silvery voice 1 said - "Sweet child of the forest, the pale-face wants his dog. " There was nothing but his paws! I had paused too long! Which reminds me that time passes.
