Most of them have squaw wives, and are rearing large families of ugly pappooses, and many have amassed wealth by their long trade with the fur companies. The great Hudson's Bay Company has for many years had a station in this valley, and drawn from it large quantities of costly furs and skins.
"Is her husband, that rascally Ferrington, living?" Oonomoo replied that he was. "And is their baby, too?" "Yes, they have two pappooses." "Dunder and blixen!" exclaimed Hans Vanderbum, and then resuming the English language, or rather his version of it, he added: "Dat gal wanted to marry mit me once." "Why no marry den?" inquired Oonomoo, also coming back to the more difficult language.
It was less than two hours afterwards, without anybody to carry a report of it to anybody else, that the whole Nez Percé camp disappeared, and all its human occupants also took the advice of the buffaloes. It was necessary to carry all the meat they had, and all the pappooses, and a number of other things, and so it had not been possible to take all the lodges with their lodge-poles.

All at once there the Indians were, as if the canal-boats had dropped with them out of heaven. There they were, crowding the decks, in their blankets and moccasins, braves and squaws and pappooses, standing about or squatting in groups, not saying anything, and looking exactly like the pictures.
There were no sleepy ones except the pappooses, and they could sleep under the tightly-drawn blankets upon the backs of their mothers as well as anywhere else. All the rest were more or less hardened to the quick changes and migrations of the kind of life into which they had been born.
They had loved each other ever since they were small pappooses, and they had vowed to love each other as long as the river ran. "One twilight, when Accadee was out hunting in the woods, he shot a snow white moose; and he took off its skin and wrapped it around him.
A number of squaws were seated about, some inside the tents nursing pappooses, others tending large pots of broth boiling over fires.
"Yes; I know your customs in this respect, Pigeonswing, but ours are different. We are satisfied if we can keep out of harm's way, when we have our squaws and pappooses with us." "No pappooses here," returned the Indian, looking around him "dat your squaw, eh?"
