The Alaskan Native mentioned in
the following article has been in
Skagw-ay and at one of the concerts
given by the Chilcat Native band,
led the band at the Elks' ball sev
eral years ago.
Early in June, 1S!>2, two ladies
ant1 a gentleman boarded the train
a* Alince, Ohio, and took their seats
directly opposite myself. In re
spouse *o an invitation 1 was on my
way to Cleveland to speak. Their
notice was at once attracted to me,
ud wi'hout hesitation whatever out
of the fair sex said to her compan
ions:
"1 wonder what that fellow is."
The other responded "I don't
know. If you ask him, I ospect he
wi«* tell you."
"1 do not believe he kuows the
English language," continued the
firs- lady, "and 1 simply wonder
»ho he is, where he is from and
what his business is here for."
"You know a this country," the
second iady cleared her throat, and
with the voice of a philosopher, re
joined atain, "we have ever so
many different nations under the
sun represented. They flock to our
shores and the majority of them
are so very undesirable. They carrj
their strange notions and habits
here, and I simply dislike t'uew
every one. I often wish that our
government would put a stop to ii
all."
Their gentleman escort soou
joined iu the discussion of the
subject, and all sorts of conjectures
were made on the poor fellow pas
senger. They concluded finally that
the stranger was one of those un
desirable and Illiterate immigrants
from Southern Europe that had no
business to breath the air cf pro
gress, civilization and liberty in
the United States of America.
There are times when one wants
tc make an immediate correction of
a mistake and asserts his proper
rights if the matter iu hand di
rectly concerns him. But in this
case it was wise to exercise a
little patience and wait until the
convenient time comes. I was quite
unmoved and did not seem to pay
any mention to the conversation.
And more than that I tried to put
on au extra appearance of savagery
nd utter degradation by playing a
lew contortion-.} on my face.
When our train arrived at Ak
ron 1 bought three of the Cleve
land dailies and at once looked up
the church announcement columns,
for it was Saturday. 1 found some
long and glaring paragraphs and
marked them. As soon as the train
moved ngaln, I got up and, ap
proaching the ladies, politely and
kindly requested them to read the
marked items which they -did at
once. Ou returning the papers, one
of the ladies inquired, "Who is
this Alaskan Indian who is to
apeak in Cleveland tomorrow?"
"I regret Tery much to say,
madam,"' I said, "that after your
uncalled for judgment I happen to
be the person. Those churches
have asked me to come, and I am
on my way there to speak for the
State of Oh!o. City of Toledo, i

have just finished my freshman
year at Marietta college."
"Oh! I do sincerely hope you
will forgive our carelessness," ans
wered the lady blushingly. "Since
you had the appearnce of a stranger,
wo never had any idea that you
could hear and speak our language.
; 1 do oray you will pardon us."
"Never mind, madam," I said
I "I have already pardoned you long
ago. I am glad to be a little bet
er acquainted with all of you, and
I hope ihat you will find it con
| venient to attend at least one of
our four meetings tomorrow."
As we journeyed towards Clove

two young men waited on the "un

SURE AS THE DEVIL
Writing to a Fairbanks man, Col.
John A. Sleischer, editor of Les
lie's Weekly, says that the re
sources of Alaska have been tied up
by the cheapest kind of political
red tape, and that if she does
net get what she wants that she
should threaten to secede. His
letter follows.
"I have just returned from your
wonderful territory and I am writ
ing a series of letters regarding it.
I shall not hesitate to call atten
tion to the government's dereliction
in this as In other matters as ef
fecting the welfare of your wonder
ful territory. Leslie's stands for the
opening of Alaska and has stood
(or it the past three years.
"If Alaska doesn't get what she
wants she may be obliged to threat
en to secede from the Union until
attention is paid to her wants. The
mere threat of secession would
awaken the eutire country to the
df'servings of your remarkable ter
rit( ry. The Tact is that the r»
scirrces cf Alaska have been tied up

raciflc Coast league players and fans
hare recently been Interested in the
controversy as to whether tho use of
the "mud ball" should be allowed In
the hurling repertoire of the coast
twlrlers. According to those familiar
with this form of delivery. It Is ths
moat dangerous pitch yet discovered
to baffle the batsman. It Is easier to
control than cither the emery or spit
ball and can be thrown with oiach
greater velocity.
Owing to the speed and break of the
ball It Is said that this delivery en
dangers the batter to an extent that
makes It Imperative that the pltchere
be prohibited from using It
