beauty and cleverness Black Snake another chief of the tribe who already had two wives at last offered fifteen ponies for Buenita This was considered a good price which White Eagle eagerly accepted and informed his daughter of the arrangement She rebelled and being unfortunately aroused announc ed her refusal with much scorn If the sun had fallen out of the sky White Eagl could not have been more astonished He had mistaken for weakness the amiability ot her usually sweet nature To his horror his daughter ha 1 rebelled against the im memorial customs of her tribe rom that hour Buenita felt doomed Yet nothing happened immediately It is the ravage instinct to prolong the punish ment as long as possible To the barbarous disposition the preliminary torture of the condemned is as sweet as the actual death that follows Savages often kep a prison er for days contemplating the stake and brush heap where he knows he will be tied and burned alive Conscious of the suspended sword Buenita

performances to white strangers who might happen to visit the reservation In September of that year rank with a party of friends was hunt ing when they came upon an Indian en campment Here they found White Eagle father who begged the strangers to come tn and witness some of his daugh experiments After giving the old Indian some money the whole party en tered the tent and squatted on the tioor rank

entered The spec tators were impressed by her appearance as for one thing she was decidely clean for an Apache She wore a red calico dress and a shawl made of the same ma terial Her little feet were Incased in moc casins She received the strangers unaf fectedly and then reaching forward sud denly drew a little wild bird from ranlCs pocket All were astonished at this and were still further Interested when afur letting the bird Jly from her it came back at her call She then lifted the tiap of the tent and set the bird free rank watching her intently decided that she had come in with the

He would make her a little present and they would part friends for he had de2 elded to return home and might never come back to Arizona As he neared the river he saw a canoe with a single occupant It surely was Buenita!

to garland his distinguished head with Roman roses Malicious chroniclers say it was to hide his baldness While severe Martin Luther wore a rose in his girdle neither one of those gentlemen was ever accuser! of lacking the essentials of New York Mall and Express Just then Bnenlta standing on a flat stone began to revolve rapidly on one foot her weight bring on her heel She whirled as swiftly as a wheel might go round and was a pretty sight as she flew in her red dress half covered with her floating long sh stopped she seized the little boy who while all were noticing her had come in sight as mysteriously as he had disappeared and together they left the tent To rank who had seen many perfonnances by European and American magicians the exhibition given by Buenita seemed very simple anl easy of solution He was not a bit mystified but all his ad miration was aroused for the young girl who seemed to him so bright and She was but twelve years old her father 5ald and the thought flashed through rank mind what a smart woman she would make if she was educated With this purpose in view he came often to the re servation and at last prevailed on White Eagle to send his daughter to the Indian school near Phoenix Here Buenita remained four years She learned rapidly in the school room uelde becoming accomplished In sewing cooking ana al forms of housework She saw rank often and they felt great admiration and affection for each other At last th time came for her to go home No misslonarv eyer went to foreign lands more of hope and enthusiasm Those vears at I school had wrought a change The lessons of cleanliness industry and morality she would apply to her own life and those of her people She as not actuated by van I ity In believing she couid accomplish any 1 change but sne saw the necessity of it as she awakened to the knowledge of the beauty and comfort of civilized life I will do wonders among your people in their the teachers had predicted at part ing with her: and Buenita her hart beat ing high with anticipation believed them to be true prophets The Indian girl had been so long awav and in such different surroundings that at first the change fell like a chill upon her spirits But with a cheerful manner she cooked uon the ground her father's meals in the opn and windy shaack It was nat i ural that she should long for the pleasant I kitchen at school and the long range where food was prepared so handily Besides I these lesser troubles she missed her early friend rank Kendall She knew that he was nar at his work in the mines yet he came no more to see her and his Interest seemed to have ceased It was not strange I that the affection she had lt for him as a child had deepened into love which his absence and indifference seemed only to in tensify Always in the morning she began to look for him and as the day passed with no sign of his presence her mind was filled with brooding hopes and fears With a strong effort she tried to divert her thoughts by applying herself to the worlff about her As for the grown people of her tribe there seemed to be no way in which she' could influence them They were In terested in feasting and dancing only She gathered around her the little children and I established an Indian kindergarten In this she was successful as all the enthusiasm of her rich nature went into the work house to live in at Ada and IQJ ture with tribe In some upuu one uccu Incurred the enmity of the Indians In the Saginaw valley and when he visited they maltreated him and wound up their performance by throwing him into river He would have perished had it not been for the daughter of one of the cniers who interceded for him brought to the family wigwam tenderly nursed him back to life married his heroine and she lived until bis death white settlers became more nu merous the Indian traffic grew less profit able and was finally abandoned and in the latter years of his life he devoted himself to farming He at one time ownel mueh property at what is now Grand Rapids and also at Grand Haven but in the early days Ada had a boom of large proportions and seemed a more promising place than any of the other points and while he sold his property elsewhere he retained his pos sessions here His property once held at fancy figures as corner lots is now ex cellent farming land The house that Rob inson lived in down on the river bank is still pointed oiL It is a low rambling house of a story and half the boards hand sawed and th inner timbers rough cut or In the original bark There is a big hall which once had a big tireplace but of late years wood is not sufficiently abundant to keep the fireplace going and the aperture is closed Tlie rooms ar not much more than eight or nine feet high and th win dows are small but here Robinson lived for many years with his Indian wife and from all accounts was as happy and con tented as tt is given man to be A few years before his death he built a new and more modern house on the adjoining lot an his son occupied the old house for years or until he moved away northern Michigan As stated on the monument Robison supervisor of the township of Kent in tne the the the an extinguished lands As associate judge commissioner of the internal improvements member of the state senate and member of the state con stitutional commission he played an im portant part and left the impress of his character upon the history of the state He was at one time reckoned among the wealthy men of his section of the country but bad investments and the dishonesty ot men whom he trusted tod freely reduced him to comparative poverty In politics he was a Democrat and the ascendancy of the Republicans retired him from public life after his service in the constitutional convention 4c 3 321c
