AN ALASKAN INDIAN
STUDENT'S EXPERIENCE
ONE OF THE UNDESIRABLES
Early in June, lSi>2, two ladies
and a gentleman boarded the train at
iiii&nce, 0., and took their seats
ireetly opposite myself. In te
ponse to an invitation I was on my
vay to Cleveland to speak. Their
otiee was at once attracted to me,
id without hesitation whatever one
jt 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 expect he
will tell you.”
“1 do not believe he knows the
English language.” continued the
first lady, “and I simply wonder
who he is. where he is from and what
his business is here for.”
•'You know in this country,” the
second lady cleared her throat, and
with the voice of a philosopher, re
joined again, “we have ever so many
different nations under the sun rep
resented. They flock to our shores
and the majority of them are so
very undesirable. They carry- their
strange notions and habits here, and
simply dislike them every one. 1
often wish that our Government
would put a stop to it all.”
Their gentleman escort soon join
ed in the discussion of the subject,
and all sorts of conjectures were
made on the poor fellow passenger,
They concluded finally that the
stranger was one of those undesir
able and illiterate immigrants front
Southern Europe that had no bus
iness to breath the air of progress
civilization and liberty in the United
States of America.
There are times when one wants
to make an immediate correction of
a mistake and asserts his proper
rights if the matter in hand directly
concerns him. But in this case it
was wise to exercise a little patience
and wait until the convenient time j
came, I was quite unmoved and1
did not seem to pay any attention to
: Use conversation. Ar.d more than
j that I tried to put on an extra ap
i pearanee of savagery and utter de
gradation by playing a few eontor
' ions on my face.
When our train arrived at Akron I
bought three of the Cleveland dalies
; and at once looked up the Church
announcement columns, for it was
Saturday. I found sqme long and
glaring paragraphs and marked
them. As soon as the train moved
l again, 1 got up and approaching the
ladies, politely and kindly requested
' them to read the marked items which
they did at once. On returning the
papers, one of the ’adies inquired.
"Who is this Alaskan Indian who is
to speak in Cleveland tomorrow?
“1 regret very much to say
madam,” I add, “that after your
! uncalled for judgement I happen to
be the person. Those churches
I have asked me to come, and I am
on my way there to speak for the
sake of my poor people at home, I
| am quite harmless for I am but a
humble Christain. At the present
: I have just finished my freshman
‘ year at Marietta college.”
"Oh! 1 do sincerely hope you
; will forgive our carelessness,' an
; swered tne iady bttcshingfy. “Since
, you had the appearance of a strange
or, we never had any idea that you
could hear and speak our language
I do pray you will pardon us.”
“Never mind madam,” I said, **1
have already pardoned you long ago.
I am glad to be a little better ac
quainted with all of you, and I hope
| that you will find it convenient to
, attend at least one of our four meet
• ings tomorrow.”
As we journeyed towards Cieve
| land we became good friends. At
j -he Union Station a committee of
two young men waited on the “un
desirable immigrant.” I shook hands
and bade the ladies and gentleman
good afternoon, jumped into a pass
ing street car and rode off to my
place of entertainment.

the thoughtful housewife for the few
minutes so spent. A little study
of the ‘specials” offered by the
wide awake merchants will help a
