ADOPT THE WAYS I
'”Of CIVILIZATION
There is an anomalous condi
tion of affairs in the native vil
lage at Juneau. The serious
minded youth of the village is
scandalized by the frivolity of the
aged.
For that matter, however, the
same condition exists in all the
Thlinget villages from the head of
the Lynn Canal to the Portland
Canal, with one exception. The
young Thlingets, educated in the
government schools, in the mines
and other industries, are sobered
by the ideas of modern civilization
and llred by the ambitions which j
relate to modern industry.
With the exception of Chief
Yalthoek of the Chilcats the eld
ers do not take to the ways of the
whites. They still live largely
by fishing and si ill love the an
'cief dances and potlatehes. They
dance through the nights, gorge
with hootch and candy, and pot
latch large sums in gifts. The j
songs the elders sing, however. !
are no longer music to the now
cultivated ears of the young men.
For this reason petitions have
been sent to Gov. Clark and ap
plications have been made to the
United Stales marshal for the j
suppression of these social func
tions. At present there is some
difference of opinion among the
authorities as to the extent of the
police powers and the right of the
marshal to interfere.
Of all the old natives. Chief
Yallhkock is the only one who has
encouraged the members of his
band to take up the ways and hab
its of civilization. The Yallhkock
family had much to lose by the
coining of civilization, for they
owned more than 00 slaves. For
all that he himself adopted the
habits of civilization at a very
early date, recognized the free
dom of the slaves, and has been
a strong friend of the government
teachers and missionaries.
In order to keep the young men
at hotne he spent $15,000 for band
instruments and paid for an in
structor for them. Once a year
the band makes a tour of South
eastern Alaska, taking Chief Yal
thkock and his ancient family
wardrobe, consisting of beautiful
woolen coats and blankets hand
somely beaded and colored with
native dyes, and valued al more
than $50,000, along.--Ex.
Why It Was.
“These certainly are delicious
snails,” commented a diner al a
New York hotel, as he eagerly de
voured a dish of the toothsome
morsels.
“First you have eaten, sir?" j
politely asked the waiter.
“No. but we don’t get them j
where I live,” said the diner. . |
“No ” asked the waiter. “And j
where is that, may 1 ask?”
“Philadelphia,” was the laconic:
answer.
"Why,” said the astonished
waiter, “have you no snails in
Philadelphia?”
“Oh, yes,” answered the man,
“we have them, but we can’t catch
them.”
The Mariposa passed Juneau al
11:30 o’clock last, night and will
be due here early on Thursday
morning.
It is worth while taking a
chance on the $800 diamond ring
being raffled at Plant & Com
pany’s, jeweiers.

SUNDRY BORES.
People dodge old Dad McOlory
as they caracole and sing, for lie
always has a story that he’s suf
fering to spring; and his tales are
always dreary, so they make his
hearers weary, and they wish him
in Siberia with his anecdotal
string. People dodge old Billy
Biddle when he looms up in their
view for he always has a riddle
that he wants an answer to: and
his riddles are as hoary as the
yarns of Dad Met*lory, and from
Boston to Empory people seeing;
him cry, “Shoo.” People dodge
old Huckleberry as arount the
town they whiz; for his stories
never vary—they are of his rheu
matiz; oh, he always is complain
ing how he sutlers when it’s rain
ing, how his tortured thews are
straining when the wintry blizzard
bliz. People dodge old Sarah
Twister, for she gives them all
an ache; she’s a tiresome, shriek
ing sister, batty on the suffrage
fake; wearing out her vocal fea
tures she is lecturing the bleach
ers on the rights of female crea
tures when she should stay at
home and bake. People dodge old
Peter Peddler; he's severely left
alone; for he is a chronic med
dler in affairs which aren’t his
own; he’s a rare old mischief
maker, spreading gossip by the
acre, he’s a bad old scandal raker,
and his name makes people groan.
