INDIANS SEEK UPLIFT
Those Living in One Village Would
Better Themselves.

Natives of Hoonah, an Indian vii
lage near Juneau, Alaska have recent
ly taken such radical steps toward an
advancing trend of civilization that
other native villages are wondering
what they will try next.
First the Hoonah tribe abolished the
cider business, an apparently harmless
one, but one which was said to have
caused much trouble among the ma
tives. Next the Hoonah natives de-
clfned to attend an Indian feast at
Swanson Harbor, thereby hoping to
discourage the giving of feasts and
continuing of ancient customs.
After electing native council Hoo
nah built a Jail and a hospital.
Whether as q reward for these signs
Of progress or not, the forestry depart
ment has agreed to send an agent to
survey Hoonah townsite, so that each
native may receive title to d building

Little GIRLS HARD LIFE
She Has Had Influenza, Pneumonia
and Assesses on Her Lungs.

Sne HaS Had influenza, Pneumonia
and Assesses on Her Lungs.
Ill luck seems to be the portion Of
little Marie Davis, not yet six years Of
age, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert
Davis, who live in the country near
Fostoria, Ohio. Influenza, pneumonia,
abscessed lungs, necessitating an oper-
alton, is the record of the little girl
within the past two weeks.
But that is not all. Marie is known
throughout this section of the coun-
try for her sad experience with bur
glars when she was still baby. Bur
glars visited the Davis home at mid
night several years ago, and the father
hearing them, arose and surprised
them at their work. Mr.. Davis lit a
lamp and burglar shot 1t out.
During the interchange of shots one
bullet grazed the check of the sleeping
Marie, cutting cash three inches
long, which has left disfiguring scar.

Practice Patience.

Impatlence can never wait until
lhings r right. 1t lights the fuse
before the mine is properly laid.
Wants to start building before the
foundation Is constructed. 1t wants
TO try issues with the world before It
has learned Its problems. 1t explodes
1poA its best friend before 1t learns
the reasons for his actions. The whole
business is folly, but it's only human
nature. Patience Is apt to err on the
side Of caution, bat it never sacrifices
It's interests to passion. 1t never re-
pels it's loved ones by demanding the
unreasonable. 1t just waits for the
facts. and then spares what can't be
helped. Those who don't understand
1t often regard ii as a mark Of weak
ness, but that's because they do nor
know life. Patience is the very es.
enc of the best that is In the gods
and it brings the best into human life.
Only big souls have 1t.
