I AN ALASKAN INDIAN
STl DENT’S EXPERIENCE
—
ON AN AMERICAN FARM
After Marietta College closed for
the summer vacation of 1S91, Gen
eral John totem, president of the
college, suggested that I should go
out on one of the neighboring farm
and there spend a few weeks Want
ing how the Americans cultivated
and raised their chief articles of
daily support.
“In your country,” said my learn
ed friend, “the native people mostly
depend upon what nature gives
them. Now this is all very well.
But the time is coming when they
will be deprived of these things, tber.
»hat will they do? You see then
that I am anxious that you should
be acquainted with the foundations
of higher civilisation, so that you
could be of some help to your people
when you go back.”
As farm life was so utterly for
eign to me. I hesitated at first to go
prefering a summer job as a deck
hand or fireman on one of the many
boats on the Ohio river. However,
after arrangements were made we
drove out and came to a place call
ed Hills, six miles ner'h of Marietta,
where I was Introduced to the fam
ily with whom I was to stay. The
family consisted of six, and we soon
became acquainted with each other
and that acquaintance, intimate as
it was, has been very helpful to me
all the way through. Eeach morning
those good people gathered around
the family altar for prayers.
Our daily program cf work var
ied. One lay we would trim the
hedges and repair the fences. The
next we would fell some sycamore
trees for fire purposes. We spent
about three days hauling some cos'
for annual use from a coal mine a
bout a mile away. The yard would
be mowed and "ewers transplanted.
The fields had h sen sown with grain
two months before I got to the farrr
so I did not see how that was done
The horses, erws. sheep, hogs and
chickens were attended to regularly.
Later on the fruits were npe and we
gathered them, as were the potatoes.
It was harvesting, and the way they
gathered wheat and other cereals was
ail very interesting and new to me.
-- '■ - —- M IMI " X
Apple tree climbing was to me a
nqvel experience.-The owner of the'
farm would always tell me to help
myself with those rosy cheeked
things. It is needless to say that his
■ instructions were carried out to the
j very" letter. They always looked so \
j tempting, an-1 no wonder that grand-;
i mother Eve simpy could not with-1
stand the temptation. When 1 re- i
turned to college that fail i develop
ed some kind of a stomach trouble. I
We not only did many things in |
the field but we did many other j
. things for the farm and community..
We filed the saws, sharpened t5>e ax- j
as and lawn mower, repaired the two f
j brick chimneys of the house, solder- s
ed and mended the tin pans, did a j
lot of blacksmithing. tuned up the j
; old organ, cleaned the family clock, j
played cornet solos, wrote newspaper ;
articles, taught a Sunday school'
class, sung solos and preached in the
| country church, hunted ground hogs, I
j attended the many social gatherings j
j of the farmers, swam in the river at j
nights on account of the heat, and
so forth.
American farmers are a kind heart
ed people They always give you
the best they have. The are very
intelliger.- and wei* .infained on the
topics of the day. Their 'ife. although!
heavily taxed with cares and sfruc-1
gles. is one of joy and. independence.
From them I have learned something
of the real '’foundations of higher
civilisation.

Of the Recruiting Accomplished
—
DUBLIN', Oct. 11—The Freeman’s
; Journal, the nationalist organ of
Dublin in an editorial refuting the
pro-German propagandists’ statement
share
! in supplying soldiers in the ranks of
the British army, brings out facts
j that show mis-reprosentatton. The
J comment was inspired at a meeting
S held at YVnrrenpoint, in which many
prominent men participated. He
s«vs in part:
‘■The speeches delivered Inst night
! among them that of Lieut, \V. A.
” thnond, M. P., impresses a fact
hat cannot too often be repeated—
Ireland’s stake in this wav is
certainly as great and precious as
that of Great Britain. We a!'
’—.-I--,- something of her contribution
to the forces that are battling a
ee’nst the brutal aggression of Ger
nr'ov. of the splendid sacrifices she
has made, of the fresh luster that the
■r'd’tion of Irish gallantry has re
ceived from the daring and dash of
tbo men who have been fighting ip
France and Flanders and the Dar
danelles. But few pf us were in a
position to measure with anything
like accuracy the full extent of Ire
land's more recent and prospective,
contributions.
‘‘Gen. French, commander-in-chief
of the forces, threw some light on
this matter last night. The state
ment is a revelation. The Tenth div
! ision is now on its way to the front;
the Thirty-sixth division, commanded
by Gen. Powell, leaves immediately
[ for England preparatory to going
! to the front, and the Sixteenth divis
; ion, commanded by Gen. Sir Laurence
Parsons, is approaching completion.
“Apart from the division raised
! in Ireland are the men forming the
reserve battalions, in which Gen.
1 French is especially Interested. To
i fill the gaps in the regiments a
j broad they have been going out in
| hatches the last eleven months, and
I in this way no fewer “than 23,000
| men have left. When to these facts
and figures are added the Irish cav
1 airy regiments, artillery and engin
eers, army service corps and royal
i army medical corps, a just idea
; can hr formed of the extent of Ire
j land's offering to the cause of the
allies.”
The meeting at Warrenpoint in
i eluded representatives from both
Unionist and Ulster sources, ant?
was most successful.

HUMAN TRACKS FOUND IN
LAVA
Troutlake, Wash., Oct. 8—Human
tracks in lava which flowed ages ago
near Goose lake, IS) miles from
Troutlake, are attracting much at
tention. For many years the report
has come to people but no credenco
was given to it until quite recntiy
when a photo was taken of the foot
prints and since that time many per
sons have made pilgrimages to the
scene. There are two human foot
prints and in advance of them are
two human hand prints made when
the lava was warm and pliable.
These were made as though by a
man falling forward. From whence
he fell cannot be conjectured nor
is it known what become of him.
The Indians are very superstitious
concerning the tracks and do not
like to have white people go to see
them. It is said that in another
place near Goose lake single tracks
are found, one foot print and one
hand print. It has always been be
lieved that when the lava flowed in
this country no living thing existed
here. The theory is now exploded
and there are the tracks to prove it.
In addition to these tracks may be.
spen those of deer.
