Strange Things
By Heinie Snider
Anyone who has read the
book, “So Was Alaska" will re
member that the writer lived
in darkest Africa for several
years, which is far to the south,
and in Alaska on the mighty
Yukon, Barter Island, and
Point Barrow, which are ’way
up north.
When the white man came to
Alaska and the Yukon Terri
tory, the old custom of trad
ing wives gradually went out
of style; but I still remember,
when as a steward on the stem
wheeler, “The Hannah,” we
were the first boat in the
spring coming down the river.
Nearing a town, the Captain
would blow the whistle. From
where we stood, we could see
that there was an unusual
amount of excitement going on
among the natives—Indians
leaving one dwelling, and mov
ing into the next one, with
squaws with bundles of blank
ets rushing into others.
The great confusion was
caused by the presence of the
missionary priest on board,
who frowned upon the swap
ping of wives.
In Africa, you could buy a
wife, say for a lion’s hide or a
goat. Now, I read that the cus
tom is on the way out. The
government has been sending
representatives into the bush
to explain LOVE to the na
tives.
“It’s like this way, partner.
The government man says,
‘You see this worfian coming
down, the trail, and .she swing
pretty cute, and you like her
and she likes you, so you de
cide to get married, and that’s
all there is to it!’ ”
And the native says, “What
does she cost?”, and the gov
ernment man says, “That’s the
best part, Elmer; She doesn't
cost anything—except . . . you
know . . . the maintenance af
terwards.”
And the native says, “If she
doesn’t cost anything, by heck,
she must not be worth any
thing!”
