Excerpt from Snap Shots on the Midway of the Pan-Am Expo, Including Characteristic Scenes and Pastimes of Every Country There Represented With Vivid Pen Descriptions The defiance dance Of the Iroquois is usually shown by two young warriors, who enter the small roped arena, one with a tom tom and the other with a war club and hunting knife. It is the dance that the Eastern braves give before starting on awar expedition, and is designed to show the war god the nature Of the men who propose to contest for victory. The Indian buys his successes from his gods and he sometimes promises wondrous things. In this case he indicates what he will do in pursuit of the foe, and concludes with a demonstration of what will happen when he catches him. In about five minutes he succeeds in working himself into a frenzy, marked by all the symptoms of real temper, and secures from the audience little Ahs Of suppressed fright and admiration. He throws the knife into the earth, seizes his war club and gesticulates about the weapon with the menace which he means to say to the god will be duplicated if he is permitted to meet his enemy.
