INDIAN SUPERSTITION
 IS RUDELY SHATTERED

An interior trapper now in Juneau tells of how an Indian settlement in Southern Yuko is somewhat demoral ized owing to one of their ancient be- liefs having been proven fallacy. A trarrer who is a white man, had an Indian trapper partner last winter and on going over their line one day they found rusty cross fox in one of the traps. As the skin of the animal was wholly worthless, the white man hu- namely released the spring of the trap and allowed the fox to fade away in the surrounding scenery. It was then that his Indian partner berated him with:
 Heap fool you! Turn lem fox loose you never get mother this year. White man crazy and me quit him, and be no more his partner" ,"
 And then and there they dissolved partnership, the white man retaining the business. Two days later on vis- iting the trap line, a fine silver-gray fox was in the same trap from which the rusty cross had been libetated. The silver was sold for $20O and the Indians are still talking about the white mans fool luck.

McAdoo "as the natural leader oI progressive thought and achievement" The American people will be on trial before :he world in the coming presidential campaign. the speaker declared.
