2 (Sept. 15, 1920 ear. And, being fair-minded animals, big brothers to the mice, the Pawnees made fair exchange; bulk for bulk, they exchanged corn for beans. Whether this exchange was to the liking of the mice does not appear of record; but it was a noble gesture, with an ethical lesson which might be studied by white men. Captain Luther North, who spent much of his boyhood with the Pawnees, outlined this matter to me in detail on the occasion of one of my visits to his home. He told me that the Pawnee children were trained in the hunting out of the stores of the mice, and that they were strictly taught that no robbery of the "bean people" would be permitted; that corn in equal amount must be left and the disturbed store-room placed in good order, so that the "bean people" should not suffer.
