Forced to drop it, and then inspecting and examining the scorched fingers, as if in doubt whether it were real fire. This he continued until every match was gone. In 1867 a Sioux Indian came to Fort Sedgwick, having in his possession a very fine and elaborately painted buffalo robe. Many offers were made by officers for its purchase sugar, coffee..., flour, &c. . To the amount of nearly twenty dollars being offered and refused. Some time after a sergeant passed who had in his hand a paper containing two or three pounds of loaf sugar cut into cubic blocks or lumps (cut loaf, then new to frontier people). He gave the Indian a lump or two, and passed on. In a few moments the Indian came running after him, took the robe from his shoulders, and offered it for the paper of sugar. The exchange being made, he sat down on the ground, and slowly and deliberately, with every appearance of the most perfect gratification, ate up every lump.
