dian justice meted out to some Of the
so-called medicine men" for some of
their deeds of malpractice.
I saw several Of the Indian doctors in
Alaska but the strangest character I
ever came across was one who lived in
Dyea, Alaska, for he had red hair and
was an Irishman. Just think Of 1t! 4
red haired son Of Erin posing as an In
dian doctor! He went to Alaska in
early days and recognizing the long felt
want Of the community overstepped all
precedent, married a squaw, took her
name, the euphonious title of Skun boo.
linda Yonk, Kaw Skosk, and started a
thriving business and large family at
the same time.
AS rule. the Indian doctors are ma
tive Indians and unmarried. They have
a way, however, of borrowing other peo-
ple's wives without even the formality
of divorce that seems an imitation Of
more civilized communities. The ST.
washes are short in stature, thickset,
fiatheaded, and ugly looking. They have
nothing about them to remind one Of the
"noble red man" Of history, and are a
much inferior race when compared with

The old Indian again took refuge in
silence and as my questioning would
elicit no further response from him
left him and took my way back to
Juneau. I never saw him again. but
sometime afterwards the old doctor fell

against a tree and chained fast and left
to starve. After five days in this posi-
ton she was discovered by white man,
liberated and cared for, but she died two
days afterwards.
The Indignation Of the people was
aroused. The civil authorities arrested
the old Indian doctor, tried and con-
victed him of manslaughter and SEN
fenced him to ten years imprisonment.
As they had no prison there he was sent
to California to serve his term In San

PRINCE CEASES DISH WASHING
Money Received at Length by Titled
German in New York

A little over a week ago Maximillian
Egon Christian Carl Emil Leo Richard,
Prince Of Fuerstenberg, count Of the Em-
pire in the Baar and Stueblingen.
Baron of Gundelfinger, Baron at Housen
in the Kinsig Valley, Hohenhofen,
Moeszkiersch, Wildenstein, Walsperg.
Werenwag, Imenbingen, Weitra and
Count Of Heilingenberg and Wirdenberg,
Purgils, was a dishwasher in an East
Side boarding house. A few nights ago,
clad in a full dress suit and surrounded
by his friends, he was one of the most
distinguished figures in the Waldorf
cafe.
This great change tn the princes for
tunes was brought about by the re-
ception by mail from Europe of more
than $4,000. Immediately upon getting
the money he resumed his former station
in life, and with his friend Maurice
weltner, went about enjoying life and
receiving the congratulations Of his
friends. He is soon to sail for Europe,
thus resuming a trip around the world
which he was making when adversely
overlook him and left him stranded i'll
New York.
It was more than a month ago that
Prince Fuerstnenberg reached this city.
He had soon spent all his money, and i'm
mediately cabled to Lieutenant Giczycki
at Strassburg, Muenster, for more. This
cable, it seems, did not reach the officer
to whom it was addressed, and no answer
came The prince in the meantime was
the guest of an old friend Of his family
Maurice Weltner who conducts Ger
man club He did not feel that he should
he a burden upon Mr.. Weltner, and
therefore volunteered to do service
about the house. He acted as clerk
waiter, butler or any other capacity that
presented itself. In short while, upon
the princes instance, Mr.. Weltner Sc
cured him a place which was in the ma
ture of manager of a. boarding house.
but when the prince was forced to wash
dishes as part Of his duties there he de-
INJURED and resigned the position.
Some were unkind enough to draw the
conclusion from the rough ex-
perience of this young scion of so noble
house that he was an imposter, but the
developments Of the past few days have
borne out his claims and enabled him to
assume again the dignities Of his high po-
sition.
Charles, another prince of Fuersten-
berg enjoyed for a long time higher So
cial distinction at Berlin than any othe.
nobleman Of the empire. He did not
like the young emperor and said some
very cutting things about him on moer
than one occasion SO that he might over
hear them. for this reason he was Sc
verely snubbed by William, but never
humbled. He enjoyed wide popularity
up to the time Of his death, less than a
year ago.-New York Journal.

MAN AS A LIVING GOSPEL.
How to Become Master of the Art o.
Right Living.

How to Become Master of the Art of
Right Living.
For majesty and beauty of subtle in
fuence, nothing is comparable to the
soul. Not the sun hanging upon the
horizon has such power for flower and
fruitage as has a full-orbed Christian
heart, rich in all good influences, throb-
bling with kindness and sympathy, ra-
diant as an angel. Great is mans skill i'm
handling engines of forces; marvellous
mans control of roads and rivers;
wondrous the mastery of engines and
ideas. But man himself is greater
than the tools he ipvents, and man
stands forth clothed with power to
control and influence his fellows, in
that he can sweeten their bitterness,
allay their conflicts, bear their bur-
dens, surround them with the atmos-
phere of hope and sympathy. Just in
proportion as men have capacity, tai
ent and genius, are they to be guardians,
teachers and nurses for men, bearing
themselves tenderly and sympathetical-
ly toward ignorance and poverty and
weakness. And all the majesty Of the
summer, all the glory of the storms.
all the beauties of galleries, Is as moth
ing compared to the majesty and beauty
of a full-orbed and symmetrical man
hood. Should there be in every vii
lage and city a conspiracy of few
persons toward this refinement and
culture, this beauty and sweet Chris
tian living, the presence of these Christ
formed persons would transform our
communities. One such harvestful ma
ture carries power to civilize an entire
city. We no more need to demonstrate
the worth of the sane, sound, Christ
like character than we need to prove
the value of the all-glorious summer,
when it fills the earth with fragrance,
the air with blossoms, and all the
boughs with luscious fruit. Each Chris
tian youth is TO be u man-maker and
man-mender. He Is to help and not
hurt men. This is to walk in love. This
is to overcome evil with good. This is
to be not printed but living Gospel.
This is to be a master of the art of right
living and a teacher of the science Of
character building.-Newell Dwight
Hills.

Soul Possibilities

When man takes himself in hand,
and, like an expert workman adjusting
an organ, intelligently endeavors to at
tune his faculties until every pipe in
the soul is clear and resonant, and every
stop is in order, and every pedal an
swers promptly to the foot's touch.
and every key yields the right sound
to the pressure of the fingers, and there
are no wretchcd discords, but the whole
soul is in harmony-in harmony with
itself and with the ends of it's creation
and with God-he is doing something
far beyond any possibilities which lie
within musical spheres. No organ
builder ever reared such an instru-
ment, no composer ever conceived such
a symphony. as the human soul may
become under right effort and training.
