All the etber trees around the camp are straight and beautiful, which makes the crook In this one tree eeem the .more conspicuous. Every time I have reached by my frying pan hanging under this ugly crook I have thought I would write a short eermon on "Crooks," and now seems a good time to write. Let as go back 15 years when this little tree was a straggling sapling. It grew out of 'the ground out of a huge retten log, and this Influence gave It the crook which will stay with It through life. The arly influence of that rotten log bearing down upon the tender sapling formed the habits and shap ed the character of that black pine COLDS The very hour a cold starts la the time, t hok it Don't wait it may become deep-eeeted and the cure will be barter then.

The early boy form the habits and character of the man, and the reason there are so many "crooked," Intemperate, un successful men is that as boys they were bent by some Improper Influ ence. The Innocent poker games of the cigar stores develop a mania for gambling. The Influence of the mania Is to make a "crooked" man. It is to put an ugly crook In the char acter and mind of the boy which will go through life with the man. The habit of drinking the alleged "near beer" at the bar of a former saloon develops the mania ' for "booze" and the boy who follows the habit develops into the man with a "crook" In his character. And so on down the line ot bad hab its. It may sem to be sporty to fol low the paths of vice, for a time, but ere you are aware you are a "croked" man, with mind and conscience and character bedlmmed. by the bad hab its of youth. While all your fellows are tower ing above you in vigor, maalroess and Intelligence, you stand among them with a conspicuous "crook" in your make-up and all of the doctors and preachers and moralists on top of the earth can not restore you to your natural, beautiful, normal self after you have once developed a ad habit crook." A Squaw's Friendship. A most touching and bea-utrful in cident of the Blue mountains has just come to my notice, and I am going to give it to the reader T the East Oregonlan, Five years ago a party of Umatil la Indians, principally qTiaws and pappooses, was fishing and picking berries in the vicinity of Meacham when one of the pappoesee 'became critically 111. All of the Indian reme dies were tried in vain, and the In dian woman began to wall and weap, expecting the child to die. One afternoon an old white lady, an aged widow, who lived with a son near where the Indiana weie camp ed, chanced to pass the camp and saw that the child was horning up with fever and deathly sick. She bundled it up and took It to her home, accompanied by the grlef strlcken mother, who could not peak English, and after a few days of care ful nursing by the patient white wo man the child recovered. The Indian mother toek her child and Joined the party, and the good Samaritan of the mountain, the -White woman, felt proud that she had saved a life and performed an act of kind liness. The incident was forgotten by the white woman, until the Sallowing year, in huckleberry season, one day an Indian woman with a pappoose in front of her on her horse, rode up to the door of the cabin, anl after-dis mounting spread out several gal Ions of fine" berries and some beauti fully executed bead work before the astonished widow. The Indian woman, by means of signs, made It known "that she had rrought these as presents to the old lady for her kindness of the year before, and as she grunted and talk ed she pointed to her baby, now heal thy and strong. . The berries and beads were ac cepted by the white woman, and the squaw and her baby rode vay Into the forest. Next year the squaw and her boy came again, and this time remained to eat dinner In the cabin of the widow. The third year they came with their gifts, and the two women had become good friends and could converse very well by means of signs milt occasional words. The fourth season rolled around and brought the faithful squaw with even more valu able gifts and a greater show of gratitude. This v.ar. about a month ago, the squaw rode up to the same old cabin door, but there was no response. She waited In the forest shade near by until her old friend should return. But at noon the son came and cooked his dinner and no "white squaw-came. When told that the aged widow had died (mcmaloosed) the squaw asked where she was burled, and with her son, now riding his own horse, she followed the son down the narrow- trail and out on to the hillside where the grave of heT benefactor bad been made. For a few moments she looked at the grave and at the surrounding landscape as if to Impress the scene upon her mind, and then In her na tive tongne she told her boy that he owed his life to the "good medicine" of the woman sleeping there Slowly then she turned away and rode down the winding trail Into the deepening shadows of the forest. walllne as she once did near there for her dying babe. The splendid friendship of Damon and Pythias has been lauded In song and story, and the good deeas or tne Samaritan are recorded in holy writ, but the simple devotion and friend ship of this savage heart will ring as true before her God as any of the boasted traditions of history!

An unusual feature of the McPher rln case Is the fact that the parties have been married for 28 years and have 10 children to bind them to gether.
