PASSING OF MEDICINE MAN
Red Men Are Coming TO Believe in
the Virtues of the White
Mans Medicine.

The skilled professional doctor Is
enc of the greatest helps to the In
dian, and the Navahos are receiving
him with very little distrust, says the
Southern Workman. The savage mis-
appropriation of things that are new
is gradually subsiding, as results make
clear to him that the white mans medi-
cine is more powerful than his. But
there are exceptions. The purely physi-
cal troubles may be eradicated by the
doctor, but there still remains in many
cases a mental uncertainty that de-
mands the attention of the tribal med
icine man. 1t is not a foible or a
fancy, but mental disease governed
by countless ages of mysticism which
necessitates the occult, undressing
treatment Of the old days. This, then,
is mind cure of the Indians = the
Christian Science of the savage, which.
hand in hand with concrete medicine,
exists in all races, whether ba ,baric
or cultured 1t is as necessary to the
Indian as a certain amount of mind
cure is essential to our happiness.
The knowledge of modern curative
agents should be impaired to the
younger members of the tribe. They
are capable of assimilating new facts
and will take readily to the new school.
Civilization is disrupting the tribal or
ganization to such an extent that the
major portion Of the old laws and be-
liefs relating to the causes and cure of
disease will soon be things of the past.
With this essential of the old life gone.
the work of the medicine men will have
been finished. At present there must
be certain cooperation between the
modern doctor who goes among them
and the medicine man of the tribe.

the statement you will hear from the
strike breaker when he lines up his men
for the first duty
Farley the Mysterious.
"Farley's here-he will have 1000
negroes at his back and Chicago's
business will be resumed" was the
message that went through the room
where were gathered the chiefs Of the
transfers joint council. The name
Farley was one to conjure with on the
streets. A people who had no knowl-
edge of Farley except what was gained
from the press wondered if Farley
wore a coat of mail, slept with his
guard of cowboys.
Yes. Farley was there. We saw him
we who were watching for the man
whom the millionaire merchants ex-
pected to help them out of their stag
nation. But the Farley who came into
strike-ridden Chicago unannounced,
incognito and almost dragging himself
into his hotel room was not the in
trepid Farley who had put his horny
fist into the hand OF the executive
head of New York's Interborough and
promised with the grasp of friendship
to break the strike of $500 employees
inside of 40 hours.
Leader Broken in Health.
Farley did not lead a body of rife
men in the Employers Teaming COM

into any of the riots with the strike
sympathizers. Instead he slipped out

far short of Farley his capacity for
executive ability falls. Homestead

Farley's spirit was shaped and then
the mold fell into the Allegheny river.

Boys Idea of Babies.

Here is an essay on babies. by an
English board schoolboy: "Babys are
little red things without bones nor
teeth. They have various sises. but
just after they are horned, they are
called bypeds; their bones are grisle.
They are two sects. male and female.
and are also very fat. When very
young they do not have much hair.
They are always asleep only when
crying. Women and girls go silly over
babys, and kiss them all over and
say silly things. That's why girls
have dolls when they haven't any little
brothers. Everybody as to be baby
first. That's all know about babys."

Smerca'S Best Loved Actor.

Such is the title conferred upon the
venerable and loved actor, Joseph Jeffer-
son, whose long stage career came to an
end few months ago. After a short
illness, Mr.. jefferson died April % at the
age of rs. One may say with little eX.
aggeration that he was born on the stage,
for he was baby i'm arms when be first
appeared behind the fcotlghts. He was
born in Philadelphia, February 20, 1929
Many anecdotes, incidents and remin-
iscences of his career are being retold in
the newspapers from which we select
the following:
A number of years ago Jefferson play
ed one night engagement in small
Indiana town, appearing in his favorite
character. In the hotel at which he
stopped was an Irishman recently Gland
ed" who acted as porter and general
assistant. Judged by the deep and SER
ious interest which he took in the house,
he might have been clerk, lessee and pro-
prietor combined into one. At about
o'clock in the morning Jefferson was
startled 10y a violent humping on his
QOOTs w uGu Llt lllNO COuoNlOuo-
ness and realized that he had left no
"call" order at the office, he was indig-
nant. But his sleep was spoiled for that
morning, so he rose and soon after APP
peared before the clerk.
"See here" he demanded of that indi-
vidual, "why was | called at this un-
earthly hour?"
81 don't know, sir" answered the
clerk. "I'l ask Mike"
The Irishman was summoned. Said
the clerk mike, there was no call for
Mr.. Jefferson. Why did you disturb
him?"
Taking the clerk by the lapel of the
coat, the Hibernian led Kim to one side
and said in a mysterious whisper: "He
was snoring like horse, sor, and Ord
heard the boys say as how he were onct
afther shaping for 20 years, so Oh seq tc
meself, SEE L: Mike it's coming onto
him again, and it's yer duty to get the
craythur out of your house at once"
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1905-05-12

A woman bicyclist overlook Jefferson
as he was walking along rural road one
day. AS she reached him, she jumped
from her wheel, and standing erect reveal
ed the fact that she wore bloomers.
pardon me, sir" she said, "but is this
the way to Wareham?"
Jefferson said he stammered and fall
tered until he was ashamed OF himself, as
he replied; "I-I-really-I guess So
They seem to me to look all right"
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1905-05-12

bobbed up. He gave his opinion of
the situation three hours after view
ing it, Plenty OF sod poiice-a chief
who knows the department will do as
it is told-union men who have a rev.
erence for the law that Chicago team
sters do not possess'-and he said to
the millionaire leaders who conferred
with him. Its a cinch."
In that strike Curry coined an ex-
preston that only one man heard
1t was: Negroes have blood,
nerves and a desire to work. I'll
fight to put them at par with the
same stocks of the white men," And
it was Curry who saw in his throngs
of big. loose-jointed, silent. powerful,
though not altogether cleanly colored
recruits from ST. Louis and the south
a force that could break the warfare
that International President c. p.
Shea, of the Transfers brotherhood,
had precipitated in Chicago.
How Curry Defied Strikers.
The first thing that Curry did when
put in command in Chicago was to
march 800 colored breakers
through crowded streets to teach
them the lay of the land" 1t was only
a picnic for Curry. The marchers
were tired and footsore. Not so with
Curry. A call went out: I'VE have
lost wagon. Who will find it? 1t
has a federal injunction placard on it.,
but that means some one will lead
the mob to make kindling- wood of it. F"
Its a cinch," came the familiar re-
mark of Curry. Step out here, you
fellows. Follow me"
Policemen never lodged the show
ers of missiles that were directed at
Curry and his band. Time for grim
joke even by Curry. They are not
trying to curry favor but curry Curry"
said the strike-breaker. He found the
wagon.
Wealth His Reward.
Will Strikebreaker Curry ever get
into the Union League club for fare
well dinner when his work is over?
No. The forces OF the executive COM
mittee of the Employers association
that were instrumental in enlisting
Curry for the perilous work speak
with the checkbook to such an en-
ploye. They regard him as a soldier
of. fortune. Curry will pass on to
some other center where organized
capital decides to declare its indie
pendence of the so-called tyranny OF
labor-where a dormant citizens asso-
citation or an employers association
arises to present a slogan: Open
shop city or fight TO the finish, and
again the will o. wisp of money will
dance before Strikebreaker Curry's
eyes He will do the work asked of
him. Given enough industrial strife
problems to solve and Curry will
swing around a circuit that will end
only with his period of usefulness.
There was grave talk of putting the
national guard in the streets of Chi
cago when Curry was busiest directing
his men. my boys in a saloonY'
queried Curry in his telephone. Tell
them to steer clear of the saloon.
That's what makes it possible for
strike-breakers to work, lots of times
the saloon" Then settling back for
another chat the wounded leader dis
cussed troops and their bearing on a
strike.
Troops and the Strike.

A THANKSGIVING INCIDENT

By Earl Sylvester.

Emily Gray walked slowly past the
Jewel restaurant. If she were to
have any supper that night she must
go in. She had already gone by sew
eral other cafes, searching for one
where the price would be within the
reach of her pocketbook. The sign,
JEWEL
was not so brilliant as that of the
others, and the customers were not as
we'll dressed as those who had hurried
in and out while Emily loitered along
making her observations.
She had never been in a place of
the kind, but, finally summoning up her
courage, she entered and stood near
| the door looking for a seat. Every
table seemed full, and the hurrying of
the walters back and forth, and the
clatter Of the dishes bewildered her.
This way, please" said voice
near at hand and Emily followed the
waiter as he guided her through the
| long room to a small table which
would accommodate only two. The
other chair occupied by a man, some
what advanced in years, Emily at
first thought, but upon closer inspec-
ton she perceived that the lines
which she had taken for age, were
rather the traces left by the struggles
and d:sappointments of life than by
years.
| The waiter handed her a menu, and
she glanced down the column of
prices, stopping to read the names OF
only those dishes opposite the at
! tractive figures ten and fifteen cents.
She ordered a meager repast, saying
alphabetically to the attendant that
she was not very hungry. He smiled
kindly. He was used to those small
orders, and they always touched a
sympathetic cord in his heart, for he
knew too we'll that it was the purse,
not the appetite, tina gagged the order
when he smiles how much he
looks like the minister home, said
Emily to herself. "I'll come here
right along. 1t will be nice to see
some one every day who reminds me
OF a friend
She made a mental memorandum OF
the five, ten, and fifteen-cent dishes
which. would do for her noon and even
ing meals. Her breakfast she would
get in her room. That was all her
landlady allowed her to do and she
must not do anything to make her
lose the little attic room, for 1t was
the cheapest she could find. She ate
slowly, as she dreaded to go out
| through the crowded room and more
still, out into the dark streets to her
| room; but after her table companion
! had finished and the waiter came to
| gather up the dishes, she hurried out
| for fear they might not like it if she
stayed too long"
A piercing wind was blowing and as

GIRLS SHOULD BE THANKFUL.

Fifty years ago the life or the aver
age girl was commonplace and dreary
to the last degree. She was allowed
very little education and was encour-
aged to. be delicate because it was
considered ladylike. Her one aim and
object in life was to get married, and
if she rallied in that she was deeply
disgraced and marked for shame and
contempt as an "old maid"
Today she has the high privilege
and blessed right of earning her own
living. This makes her Independent,
and she can remain single until love
prompts her to marry. If she never
marries, no one despises her. The
cold maid" has disappeared comp. etely
and in her place we have the breezy,
Independent, up to Gate, athletic and
we'll gowned bachelor girl who is
succeeding in life or a profession and
asks neither pity nor favors from her
fellow men. Should not girls be
thankful?

Just a Thought.

To think the best Of people, and not
the worst, to say only kind and gra-
cious words, to be brave and true and
hopeful and undaunted, to rest on
Gods will as on a soft pillow, to keep
the child heart to gray hairs, and to
have the kingdom of heaven within
you, are all parts of the duty, and
belong to the ~-.thright Of good men
and good women. To despair of none,
to refuse help to none, to give, to lend,
to love. to live for others, these are
the stepping-stones to real thankful
ness. Margaret E. Sangster in Home
