Medicine Man Made Good.

In the August Wide World Maya
zine, c. H. E. Askwith of Ottawa,
tells an amusing story of "rain-ma-
king" The prosperity of the Yukon
is, as every one knows, closely bound
up with an abundant rainfall, and in
order to insure this the services of
a ''rain-making expert" were enlist
ed by the government and a commit
tee of mine owners. He failed, where
upon Silas, hereditary chief of the
Moosehide Indians, staked his repu-
tation that his tribal medicineman
could do more wonders than all the
paleface's science. Nature, through a
remarkable coincidence, came to his
assistance-with the unlooked-for re
suits that the Yukon got all the rain
It wanted, and that the entire tribe
of Moosehides went back to the faith
of their savage forefathers. 1.-THE
facts are strictly as l relate them,
writes the author. Il was at that time
editor of the Yukon Daily World, and
took small part in the affair.""
