Cooke informs me that he was the first to provide casts from natural leaves and fruit in place of the ordinary conventional ornament; and he sent a tree to be fixed in a corner of the class-room for light and shade studies. Mr.
"So hot and yet so young!" said Buell, laughing, "and after a long trail, too " glancing at my Indians, "and another in view already! But you were ever an uncompromising youngster, Loskiel." "Your regiment has marched for Canajoharie," I said. "When do you go a-tagging after it?" "This evening with the headquarter's guide, Heoikim, and the express rider, James Cooke.
