Probably few women have had more
melodramatic career than that of Mrs.
Potter. She was born in New Orleans,
the daughter of Col. David Urquhart
When she canlc out in society there was
a stir. and a little later she became a
toast. Her natural charm was wonder
ful. It was in New York that she gained
fame as an amateur actress. She has
never lost her anna ateurishness since that
time. and won the heart of James
Brown Potter, man OF wealth and q
member of one of New York's first fam
ilies.
After her marriage to Mr.. Potter the
long struggle began between her love
for the stage and her love for her hus-
bane. He was much opposed To her GO
ing on the professional stage But her
heart was set on II, her head was
turned by her success as an amateur
and she pictured herself IN the leading
roles holding and swaying her audiences

Indian Supersfitions

RECENT trial In the Federal
n court at Oklahoma. City. Of
a Louis Brown. charged with tbs
murder OF Walter Richardson
and Moses Pettigrew. brought to light
an Indian superstition that was new
to many people.
Several years ago. when the famous
Solomon Hotema witch-kiIIing case was
tried in the same court. there was con-
siderable evidence to show the belief OF
the Indians in witeheraft, and the fes-
timony IN the Brown case reveals an
equally weird story. though with physi-
cal rather than psychological features,
One of the witnesses testified that the
homicide for which Brown was tried oc-
Cured at "pachofsha," which is pro-
nounced as if SpelleG .spayshofa. In
answer to inquiries as to the meaning
of the word it was explained that 3
pachofsha is a feast and a part Of the
incarnation and superstitious ceremony
conducted over the sick by the lower
class OF ignorant Indians. When a man
is thought TO be sick enough TO require
the services Of a<doctor he is put in a
hut and for three days no one except the
doctor sees him. The doctor goes into
the woods and gathers herbs, from

put in a large kettle and stewed until
the corn is soft. All the relatives oe

Every man who has been a constant
patron of BARRIERS knows that there are
no men in the world more jealous of
one another To stand by and see the
tall man raking in coin on graft that
had held good for twenty years was
surely enough to make less fortunate
BARRIERS turn green with envy.

LIKES The BAND
AND WANTS 1T
FOR OREGON FAIR

William J. Patterson OF Baker City,
Oregon. wants the Hawaiian band to go
to the Lewis and Clark Exposition at
Portland.
Mr.. Patterson Is visiting the Islands
In company with w. Il. Grace, presi-
dent of the Citizens National Bank Of
Baker City. and incidentally Past
Grand Master of the Masonic Grand
Lodge of Oregon. They are enjoying
their trip which will give them the
best part OF two months taking In the
sights and climate of the Islands. Mr..
Patterson visited this city for few
hours some years ago and he liked 1t
so well that he came back and brought
a friend with him.
He first encountered the Hawaiian
band when attending the Knight Tenn
plar conclave some years ago. The
renewal of the acquaintance here has
increased his enthusiasm over the band
as an exposition attraction.
Mr. Patterson was given sort of a
rowing commission by the head of the
Exposition to look the Hawaii field
over for good things for the great
event Of the Northwest. His plan In
connection with the band is to have
the Exposition stand u share of the
expense and the local people take q
share which would he believes be q

In spite Of the fact that the sailor got
