HOW MEDICINE HAT WAS NAMED. Queer Appellation of the Champton Cold Weather Town,

“Yes, sir, get its queer name,” W. North of Medicine Hat. “Poor Lo is responsible for the name. Now, the In» dian most superstitious chap alive, Nobody believes in luck half so much as he ‘Good medicine’ with him is anything that brings him good tuck, and ‘nad medicine’ is just the reverse. Every Injun that amounts to anything has his ‘medicine.’ It’s his ‘lucky penny,’ so to speak, and he depends upon it largely for good luck. Often be carries it in a little buckskin bag around his neck, and just as like as not he won't tell you for love or money what itis. Again he will make a fuss over it and insist on letting every- body know all about it. I know one buck whose ‘good medicine’ was the top of a tomato can which he wore on his

breast.

“Well, to get back to Medicine Hat, there was a famous Blackfoot chief who

| lived somewhere around in that part of

the country. He divided his time between hunting and making war on the Crees. This chief’s ‘good medicine’ was a most gorgeous headdress of feathers. He call- ed it his medicine hat, and it was the luckiest ‘good medicine’ in all the region ground. Well, one day he fell upon the Crees just about where our town now is, and he smote them hip and thigh. He was in a fair way te wipe the Crees out of existence when along came a gust of wind and lifted the magic hat off his head. was to follow.

The wind whirled it up

it in the Saskatchewan river. That was too much for Mr. Blackfoot. He lost ali confidence in his luck. Instead of return- ing to the fight and pressing home his victory, he turned tail and ran for dear life, followed by all his tribe.

“That’s how our town on the south fork of the Saskatchewan got its name. Per-

sonally, 1 hope it will never be changed. |

It’s a hundred times more desirable than the one thousand and one inane names
