Of course, it has no tusks, this baby—though to call it "little" and "baby" seems rather ridiculous, as it weighs two hundred and forty-five pounds at birth, and is quite as large as a sheep; but its trunk is there all right, groping about and finding out all about the world, like a great big movable finger.
In the olden days it was only the Red Man who hunted him, but with the opening up of the country the White Man has proved his enemy. By the Red Man the Bison was killed for the flesh which gave food; for the fat which gave light by night; for the skin which gave clothing, tent-covering, and moccasins; for the horn which gave spoons and eating vessels.
