Tonight is Halloween.

There is no night in the year upon
which the popular imagination has
stamped more peculiar character than
All Hallow's Eve. The leading idea re-
specting it is that i; is the time of sll
others when supernatural influences
prevail. 1t is the night set apart for a
universal walking abroad of spirits.
Divination is then believed 10 attain its
highest power and the gift of calling
spirits "from the vastly deep" becomes
available to all.
In the freside customs of this night
the world over there is a marked uni
formity. Nuts and apples are everywhere
in demand to such an extent that the
night is often known in England AS
nutcrack night. TIE nuts are not only
cracked apd eaten, but used to foretell
the issue of love affairs. There is the
custom, for instance, OF putting nut
named after lover upon the stove or
crate. If it cracks or jumps, the lover
will prove unfsithful; If it begins to
burn, he has true regard for the per-
son making the trial.
The mosl:popular sport with apples on
Hollowe'en is to float lot of them in
tub of water and let the children duck
their heads into the water and try to
catch the apples with their mouths.
Robert Burns describes Scotch cere-
mony called "The Gbree Dishes. or Lug
gies." One dish is filled with clean
water, another with dirty water and q
third is left empty. They are ranged on
the hearth and one BY one those making
the trial are led up to them blindfolded.
If one dips his fiuger into the clean
water, he is to marry maiden; if into
the dirty water, widow; if into the
empty dish he will be bachelor. AS
each person takes his turn the position
of the dishes is changed.
ora more weird character Is the ccle.
brated spell OF eating an apple before a
looking glass, with the purpose OF dis
covering the inquirer's future husband,
who, it is believed, will be seen peeping
over her shoulder. Another rite of SIM
liar purpose is to wet shirt sleeve, hang
it up before fire to dry, and lie in bed
watching it until midnight, when the
apparition of the Individuals future
partner will come in and turn the sleeve.

he says, When l man l shall journey in far
places to the land where there is snow, and
things for myself"
Always did Bidarshik journey in far places"
Zilla interrupted proudly.
1T be true Ebbits assented gravely. And
always did he return to sit by the fire and hunger
for yet other and unknown far places
And always did he remember the salt lake as
big as the sky and the country under the where
there is snow, quoth Zilla

Did he not go down to the salt lake that is big
as the sky?" Ebbits demanded.
And there was no way for him across the salt
lake, said Zilla.
Save in the white mans fire boat, which is of
iron and is bigger than twenty steamboats, on the
Yukon said Ebbts. He scowed at Zilla, whose
withered lips were again writing into speech, and
compelled her to silence. But the white man

man and done great travel into the white mans

runs into lax; which is larger than all the land
and as the sky. do not think there is lake larger
than all the land and large the sky, but Yamkan
has seen. Also he has told me that the waters of
this lake be salt, which is strange thing and beyond
understanding
And here is a strange thing that befe Yamikan.
Never did the white man hurt him. Only did they
give him warm bed at night and plenty fine grub.
They take him across the salt lake which is big as
the sky He is on white mans fire boat, what you
call steamboat. 1t is made of iron, this boat, and
yet it does not sink This do not understand, but
Yamkan has said, L have journeyed far on the
iron boat. Behold 1 am still alive
After many sleeps of travel, long, long time,
Yamkan comes to land where there is
I cannot believe this. 1t is not in the nature of
things that when winter comes there shall be no
snow. But Yamikan has seen. Also have | asked
the white men, and they have said yes, there is
in that country. But cannot believe, and
now ask you if snow never come in that country"
YES" answered, ''it is true talk that you have
heard. There is no snow in that country, and its
name is California"
"Cal-ee-forn- ee- yeh," he mumbed twice and
thrice listening ntently to the sound of the syllabes
as they fell from his lips He nodded his head in
confirmation. yes it is the same country of which
Yamkan made talk
| recognized the adventure of Yamikan as one
likely to in the early days when Alaska first
passed into the possession of the United States.
Such murder case, occurring prior to the install
ment of territorial law and officials might well have
been taken down to the United States for trial be-
fore federal court.
when Yamikan is in this country where there
is no snow,'' old Ebbits continued he is taken to
large house where many men much talk: Long time
men talk. By and by they tell Yamikan he have
no more trouble. Yamkan does not understand
for has he had any trouble. All the time have
they given him place to sleep and plenty grub.
But after they give him much better grub, and
they give him money and they take him many
places in white mans country, and he see many

But before he dies many times does he sit by

fire and listens; and his eyes very wide and large

was to know that what the white man does yester.
day he will not do to-day, and that what he does
to-day he will not do tomorrow, Ebbits shook
his head sadly There is understanding the white
man. Yesterday he takes Yamikan to the land under
the and makes him fat with much grub. To-
day he takes Bidarshik and-what does he do with
Bidarshill? He takes Bidarshk to Campbell Fort,
and he ties rope around his neck, SO, and when
his feet are no more on the ground he dies

Wherefore" old Ebbits said with grave dignity,

and l sit hungry by my fire and tell my story to
the white who has given me grub and strong
tea and tobacco for my pipe

is there great trouble. 1t was not the fault of
Yamikan that he killed the white man. Yamikan
spoke always soft words and ran away from wrath
dog from stick. But this white man drank
much whisky, and in the night time to
Yamikans house and made much fight. Yamkan
cannot run away, and the white man tries to kill
him. Yamikan does not like to die, SO he kills the
white
Then is all the village in great trouble We are

and he returned to sit by the fire and hunger for the
country under the where there is no snow,
Yet the salt lake had he the fire boat of
iron that did not sink, cried out Zla the ire
pressible.
CAV" said Ebbits, "there was no way for Bidar-
sink to journey to the white mans land under the
sun, and he grew sick and weary like an old man
and moved not away from the fire. No longer did
meat, Ebbits went on. And the sickness of
Bidarshik grew into great sickness, until thought

Bidarshik to go.

| see that my words have been good in the ears of
Bidarshik and that he will grow well again. Also
do | know that my words have been wise:
There is white to this village He
does not seek after gold in the ground after furs
in the forest. All the time does he seek after bugs
and flies. He does not eat the bugs and flies; then
why does he seek after them? I do not know. Only
do l know that he is funny white Also does
he seek after the eggs of birds He does not eat the
eggs All that is inside he takes out and only does
he keep the she'll Egg shell is not good to eat Nor
does he eat the egg shells, but puts them away in
soft boxes where they will not break. He catch
many small birds. But he does not eat the birds.
He takes only the skins and puts them away in
boxes. Also does he like bones. Bones not good
to eat And this strange white man likes best the
bones of long time ago which he digs out of the
ground.
But he is not fierce white man, and know he
will die very easy, so l say to Bidarshik My son,
there is tie white for you to kill And Bidar
sink says that my words be wise. So he goes to

of the salmon and in the way of the water. He was
very wise.
There was Moklan," Ebbts repeated, ignoring
the interruption In the spring he went down
the Yukon with the young men to trade at Campbell
Fort There is post there, filled with the goods
of the white man, and trader whose name is ones.
Likewise is there white mans medicine man, what
you call missionary. Also is there bad water at
Campbell Fort, where the Yukon goes slim like
maiden, and the water is fast, and the currents
rush this way and that and come together, and
there whrls and sucks, and always are the cur
rents changing and the face of the water chang
ing that at any two times it is never the
same.
The young much afraid of the bad
water at Campbell Fort But Moklan is not afraid.
He laughs strong, 'Ho-ho!' and he goes forth into
the bad water. But where the currents come to-
gether the is turned over. A whirl takes
Mokan by the legs, and he goes around and around,

missionary talk about where 1 shall go when |

place he knows where are many
bones in the ground. He digs up
very many of these bones and
brings them to the strange white
mans camp. The white man is
made very glad. His face shines
like the sun, and he smiles with
much gladness as he looks at the
7 bones. He bends his head over,
so, to look at the bones, and then
Bidarshik strikes him hard on the
head with ak, once, SO, and the
strange white man kicks and is
dead.
Now say to Bidarshik, will
the white soldier men come and
take you away to the land under
the sun, where you will eat much
and grow fat Bidarshik is happy.
Already has his sickness gone from
him, and he sits by the fire and
waits for the coming of the white
soldier men.
How was I to know the way of
the white man is never twice the
same?" the old man demanded,

that darkness and light and where
we go when we die be different
things from the matter of pay
ment of just debt for bad water.
Then the missionary make large
anger, and call me bad names of
darkness, and tell me to go away.
And SO no payment has been made.
Moklan is dead, and in my old age
l am without fish and meat"
Because of the white man"
said Zilla.
Because of the white man.
Ebbits concurred; then he went
on: And other things because of
the white man. There was Bidar-
sink. One way did the white
man deal with him; and yet
another way for the same thing
did the white man deal with
Yamikan. And first must l tell
you of Yamikan, who was a
young man of this village and
who CHANGED to kill a white
