HAVE NO Faith in
MEDICINEMEN.
Tiiis w«o i eigravinjg is by a toy in
Che sixth grade. His first effort.
.kAAAA
The first man represents a young doc
tor who was supposed to posses pow
er to1, eal the sick and wound.
The second figure shows a man
o- posed to the doctor and who doubt
ed the medicine men.
The story fe told how the med
icine man plied his trade a® the igno
rant and superstitions.
He always carried a magic cane
meeting the doubing. Thomas one
.day he pointep the cane at him which
-caused the sceptic 10whirl around
on the spot until the doctor again
pointed his cane at him.‘Of course
that whirling potion ooffvested the
scepic to the medicine SaKer.
■Nowadays natives m longer
have faith in medicine man.
^Native” Is Correct Name
For Aborigines Of Alaska
Indians' Misnamed
America, beloved land, took its
name from Americas Vestpucius.
The great hbnor was misplaced.
Oaluitibus, the discaveter, should
have had the honor. T..«k our great
country would he Columbia.
Columbus called new people of
tanned complexion, Indians. He thot
he had reached India, east of Europe
hence the name. The poor fellow
died before the real faots came to
light.
The aborigines of Alasxa resent
to be called Indians *nd prefer the
name ^'Native."

IN DEEP Wa I ER
Probably there is nothing under
tl;e sun which is the hasi3«f so large
a number of figures of speech as wa
ter.
A poor argument^won’t hold wa
ter"; a babbler is "‘a leaky vessel'; a
half-drunwen man is "half-seas aver”,
fishing in troubled waters’ ’is arwther
name for getting into difficulty;’"still
waters run deep" is a hint that your
iquiet and demure person has more in
him than the worldsuppoftea;if a man
is in a bad pcetfacwiment he is Ih “hot
water’’;disappointmenti8"a wet blan
net. ’’
Of a rejected suitor M is said
that “ cold water js thrown on his
hopes”;the hungry man’s” mouth wa
ters” ;the strenthless are “weak *$ wa.
ter'; sometimes it “rains "blessings”;
when an orator te^ns to be t«hous
we say he has run dry ”; news is al
ways “afloat” ;speculators are often
“ swamped”; many people findic im
possible to “ keep their heads above
water ”; eften have to acknowl
edge that we are “ a!l at sea.
Announcement
sw
The annual fair will
be held at klawockfrom
March 11 to 14. The
New Native will print
the program in the next
issue
’’AMANOFHIS WORD.”
One of the biggest sins a man
can commit is the 'betrayal of a
public trust. Men advance in pos- j
km and power only in so far as they
are true to faith and confidence re
posed in them
As with whites so with natives.
The New Native is encouraged hy
the news of the Mettexatlans living
up to honor and responsibility.
