THE SAEOOL BAR
A bar to heaven, a door to hell
Whoever named it, named it well;
A bar to manliness and wealth,
A door to want and broken health.
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to sin and grief and shame;
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer,
A door to darkness and despair.
A bar to honored, useful life,
A door to brawling, senseless strife;
A bar to all that's true and brave,
A door to every drunkard's grave.
A bar to joy that home imparts,
A door to tears and aching hearts;
A bar to heaven, a door to hell
Whoever named it, named it well. .

SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED INDIAN"
From an exchange we glean the following intersting item:
Wilfred Steve, a full-blooded Snoqualmie Indian who received his ed
ucational training in the Tulalip school across the bay from Everett,
has been awarded a scholarship by Rodman Wanamaker that will entitle
its Indian holder to finish his education in Princeton University.
Steve who is about 21 years old, has been exceedingly anxious to win
a scholarship, for he wants to study law and become a practitioner, a
high ambition to which no other member of his tribe ever before
aspired.
