Much as the savage at first desires topossess some garment, it does not take long for him to tire of it. All agree with Mark Twain, that "the human skin is the mostcomfortable of all costumes, " and, clothed in the sunlight, the humanform divine is not unlovely. Sometimes the Indians of the interior take skins, etc. , to theParaguayan towns across the river. Not knowing the use of money, their little trading is done by barter. Their knowledge of value isso crude that on one occasion they refuse...d a two-dollar axe for anarticle, but gladly accepted a ten-cent knife. The Chaco Indian, however, is seldom seen in civilization. His home is in the interiorof an unknown country, which he wanders over in wild freedom. Whilethe Caingwas are homekeeping, these savages are nomadic, and couldnot settle down. The land is either burnt up or inundated, so they donot plant, but live only by the chase. So bold and daring are theythat a man, armed only with a lance, will attack a savage jaguar; or, diving under an alligator, he will stab it with a sharpened bone.
