Pretty Shrewd.

1t seems to be the aim of some peo-
pie to acquire reputation for shrewd-
ness. which in many cases is only an
other name for roguery. Such people
take delight in tricking their friends
as well as enemies. like the wealthy
old lady who occupied her leisure in
making patchwork quilts. which she
regularly donated to the annual church
fairs. They were hideous things and,
as nobody would buy them, they were
apt to be ratified off in ignominous fash
ion at the close Of the fair much to the
chagrin of the old lady One day, just
before the fair time, this old lady sent
for her lawyer and had him add a
codicil to her will bequeathing 500 to
each and every person who should buy
aQuiltat the church fair. The lawyer as
sured her that her injunctions to strict
secrecy should be faithfully observed,
but it was noticed that sister of the
lawyer bought the silk quilt on the
very first day of the fair for six years
When the old lady died the lawyer
came smilingly forward with six quilts
and bis sister to claim the sun of $780,
But he was tricked in turn, as the old
lady had neatly cut the codicil from
the will!

Ketchikan Progressive Miner: In this twentieth century it is difficult for the white man to realize that really substantial belief in witch craft can still exist among the ma tives as closely associated with civ ilizatiOn as are the natives of the village of Kulisnoo. And yet, for the past six years there has been going on in that village a series of sO-called witchcraft performances which finally Culmjnated in a thor Ough investigation of the matter by w. G. Beattie, superintendent of ma tive schools, and District Attorney J. 4. Smiser.
 MT. Beattie stated today that he Is not yet in a position to divulge the exact nature of the present case but stated that at KllisnoO witch craft has been practiced for some thing like six years and that it has besu found necessary to investigate the situation thoroughly in an eff for to dispel the effects of a situation known to the ThIinkets as witChery.
 When asked if the idea of witch craft was not rather out of date in this goth century, MT. Beattie re- piled "'It may seem so to the 2Oth century white man, but it must be that the native is not a goth century person in the mat ter of civilization.

NITCHERY IN SWAY F0R
 YEARS AT KIELISN00

Ccontlnued Mir. Beattie, lis one of the most difficult problems we have to handle among the natives. The existence of witches is a cer- tainty with them, and there is absO- lutely no possibility of convincing them that there are no such things as witches. It isn't stubbomess on their part, is simply and sincere Iy their belief that there are among their tribesmen, persons who have power to cast a spell over others of their number"
 In answer to the question What direction does their practice of wltch-craft usually take ?" MT. Beattie said: Well, we'll assume, for instance ttat some member of the village community has a sore throat After a little while he will go to see an Indian doctor about it, and the doctor will tell him that someone has bewitched him.
 The process of casting spell over a person usually takes a course something like this: The witch will catch some animal, or it may be a bird and strangle it by tying around it's neck a piece of the clothing of the man whom he wishes to bewitch,. The thing of course dies and it is then hidden away somewhere. With in a certain number of days after that, the bewitcbed person dies. The only way in which a spell may be cast off is by securing this animal or bird and throwing 1t into the salt water. Simply burying it does no good, according to the Indian legend. And since the tool of the witch is usually hidden very secure Iy, there is very little chance for the bewitched to free himself from the charm.
 The whole thing is, of course purely a psychological situation, and savers to a certain degree of hypnOtism. But it has a firm grip on the Alaskan natiVe-not only upon the uneducated ones, but as well upon those who have had op- portunity to secure more or less education and who have been more or less closely associated with white people"
 If any definite clues can be dis covered in connection with the Kill isuoo affair, an investigation will be instituted by the government. No announcement has yet been made in this connection, but it is expect ed that a complaint will be filed within the next few days.
