The reservation Indians in southwest have many quaint ideas trade, which often arc amusi though childish. A contributor > lately among tlie Navajo and M'o Indians in Arizona. At Armijo's trading post at Ori; Ariz., he writes, the customers both Navajos and Hopitf. ^ H came in one day and after pricing axe bought it for $1.25, giving Ar jo $1.50. He received 25 cents change. After a while lie came bii and looking wise, asked Armijo w he had taken out of his $1.50 for axe. On being told $1.25 lie sho the 25 cents toward Armijo and sa "Now give me the 50 cents." An Indian bought a piece of ni ton from this same trader for $for which the trader had asked I $2.50. After thinking a while Indian asked' for his money, say he did not wish the meat. When gi $2.25 lie protested, and asked for $'. telling Armijo iu no uiiinistaken 1 gunge that il' it was worth that nv L. to tlie trader it certainly was to h jfo When refused the extra 25 cents ^Bl took the matter up with the missi ary, a person often appealed to 9^ matters of this kind, and who, a M general thing, settles them so that W Indian and the trader are both sa (Buckskins were very scarce at trading post and the trader was of ing extra inducements to get Indi to bring some in, having heard several recently tanned in a cert neighborhood' on t'lier escrvation. ( Xavajo had told this trader wh the skins were. The Xavajo was t that he would be given two Xav blankets worth as much as the sl< ? would sell for and he could trs them for skins. Upon their receipt by the tra the Indian was promised a nice sad * blanket for( his part in the (Teal, acquiesced, but insisted upon liav the three blankets then, and t were given to him.

His saddle was tin trimmed with Navajo hand hammered Ti oinaments and his bridle was almost ight covered with silver. The Navajo sat as down and remained' dumb as an oysi in ter. The trader offered to buy the bri1 in die, and the Navajo finally consented in ciai to take $23 for it. The trader count- in; nee ed out twenty-thre silver dollars to hi* ion the Indian, expecting that he would afl I in spend most of it. at the store before ren he rode away. The trader was dis- Sc ibia appointed. After eating a hearty i tr, supper the Navajo departed, saying | i ire: be would return next morning toj?j,. and trade.
