 Last week with no previous mo- tice, this list of words was sprung on the students of the Juneau school. No work had been done on this list of words by any teach CT, nor did the teacher expect the test until it was handed to her 10 be given to her pupils. Only one teacher had given special drill on similar lists of words so far this year, that having been Miss Ol- son Sixth grade).

DOUGLAS NEWS
INDIAN TRIBAL DANCES
 ARE WELL PRESENTED TO
 LARGE AUDIENCE, DOUGLAS

The Trihal dances and oldtime customs of the Alaska Indians were revived here last night by members
 of the Alaska Native Brotherhood
 and Sistcrhood of DougIas before
 a good crowd of spectators. Clad
 in indian costumes of varig9ted hues, more than 20 men and wo-
 men lived again the scenes enacted by their lorefathers. Several valu-
 able blankets and robes were in
 evidence that are no doubt highly
 prized by their owners, but most unique were some of the head gears
 topping the costumes. One of
 these was the first hat worn by the Taku tribe, about 167 years ago. Another was 150 years old, this one having been brought to Yakutat by the Russians. These headpieces were passed through the audience for closer inspection.
 Sandy Stevens acted as inter preter of the dances, explaining each one in advance so the audi ence would understand it's full meaning.
 First event on the program WIS the Simpsian war dance. Led by the tom tom of the skin drum it was accompanied by a monotonous chant, which increased to the cli- max of the dance. Then followed the Welcome Dance which was sim liar to the first. The attempt is followed in this dance to impress the visitors when one tribe visits another to make big show of hos pitality and make a good impress sion, it was explained. The third dance was the Peace Dance, some times called the Deer" dance after the animal that is well known for it's gentleness. The Flat-Head dance and the Spirit Dance were added for good measure, each one varying from the former dances by different gestures and chanting Last on the program was the eX- hibition of the Witch Doctor which was noting if not realistic. As ex plained by the interpreter, illness was brought upon those who sue cumbed to sickness by evil spirits. These spirits were witches. It was the witch-doctor who was to ex- pell the witches, drive out the evil spirits and cure the patient and this was accomplished by the use of rattles and wild, terrifying con tortions and noises. In this exhi- bition Jackson Brady showed him self to be clever doctor. as the modern expression is today.
 In the various tribal dances giv- en, Jimmie Fox and Aaron Wilson were leading figures.
 During the intermissions the A. N. B. chorus entertained with sev- eral songs. William Brady played a violin solo and Tommy Wilson rendered a vocal solo. Altogether the audience was well pleased with the performance.

 There were tears on her cheeks, but she had herself well in hand now. There was one thing still to tell him; one danger that she could and must avert-the danger of Phil and Roy ever meeting in her house.
 No she said in a low voice, that is something you must never do. You must never go there, never call there.

Everyday Psychology
Fears.

Fears.
Psychologists have just about come to
an agreement about fear. They all say
that fear is the foundation of emo
tional life. Your pet fear-that is, the
one you harbor with great care and
solicitude-is the one that stamps you
as somebody held down by a some
thing that doesn't seem to apply to
other people. In other words, what you
fear and what you do about it make
you what you are.
Your big personal problem is to and
out where you get your fears. Your
next move is to get rid Of them.
To get at the origin of fears you must
consider three things-environmen
body. mind.
From your environment you feel
strains; in your body you feel pains" ;
in your mind you concoct worries. u
Strain. pain and worry are the original
sources of fear. with worry doing 10
times more than the two others; for 1t
is possible to combine your worries with
strains and pains in thousands Of ways.
Mix a worry something in your
mind with your work (something In
your environment), and you set the
stage for a nervous breakdown. Mix a
pain (something in your body with a
worry something in your head and
you can imagine you have all sorts Of
diseases.
Make up your mind to make an end
of worries and you will conquer fear.

Last Hours of Great Fighters
Alexander Conquered World, But Was Beaten by
Hard Drinking.
BY j. r. GLASS

At Babylon, in the midst of mammoth
projects, including the subjugation OF
Arabia, the founding of new cities and
the amalgamation of Persians and
Macedonians in one military force.
Alexander the Great paused to render
homage to his dead friend, Hophaestion.
Obsequies on tremendous scale were
arranged A huge feast was served, at
which Alexander himself presided. Like
every one else, he abandoned himself 70
conviviality. Intoxication at a funeral
was required. It was a token Of re-
spectful sympathy toward the deceased.
That night he was invited to sup with
his friend, Medius. Already full OF
wine, he accepted. 1t was morning
when the revelry ceased.
He spent the day in sleeping of his
intoxication. But in the evening he
was with Medius again. Feasting and
drinking once more were the order.
Already Alexander was suffering from
a slight fever. At Medius' table, swal.
lowing the contents of a large goblet
called the Cup of Herakles he became
very Ill. He was too sick to return to
his palace. He bathed and slept in the
house of Medius.
He was unable in the morning to
rise. But he did not neglect his daily
habit of celebrating sacrifice. He had
himself carried out on couch. After
ward he lay abed all day.
The fever steadily grew worse. -Four
days more and it was violent. Never
the less, he called in his officers and
ordered them to prepare for the pro-
jected expedition.
After 48 hours more he could scarcely
be lifted out of bed to perform the
sacrifice Desperately Ill, he was re-
conveyed to his palace. Now, though
he knew them well, he was unable to
speak to his officers.
Death was in the air. The generals
knew it, Alexander knew it. The ques-
ton was what was to become of that
magnificent empire which his genius
had obtained.
ITO whom do you bequeath your
kingdom?" he was asked
BY terrific struggle he broke for o
moment the bonds of his silence.
