Prayer in Chinook
fPnget Sound Lumberman)
Years ago when Emory White, of the
Wallace & Whlto Lumber Company,
Minneapolis, lived in Shcltin, Wash.,
ho was very familiar with the Chinook
language. A young lady school teacho?
was anxious to learn how to speak it.
Emory offered to teach her a beautiful
little Chinook verse, telling her it was
a prayer the Indians used. This.is what
bo taught her:
I wish I had n wooden lez,
Becauso my corns hurt so.
I'd gladly tako a wooden peg
On whioh no corns can grow. ,-.f,
I want a man thru ia nil my own, ,,
Most any thing would do,
I'm very tired of being alono,
Good Lord, your aid I sue.
Tho young lady mastered this and tool
great delight in showing off her ac
complishments. A Timely Suggestion
