Gratitude of an Indian Woman,
To the East Oregonlan:
For the past week I have been
hanging ray frying pan on a little
black pine tree with an ugly crook
in it about eight feet from the ground.
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

pole, and while all Its companions
are tall and straight and beautiful,
I. stands in the forest a conspicu
ous deformity, ugly, Inharmonious
and repulsive.
Now for another thought. 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.

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

Alleging unprintable brutalities on

divorce from J. Frank McPherrln.
Will M. Peterson is attorney for the
plaintiff und filed the suit in the cir
cuit yesterday afternoon.
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. Tiny were married In Page
county, Iowa, In 1880. 8lnce that
time the plaintiff alleges that her
husband has become a habitual drun
kard and that his appetite for liquor
has caused him to become degraded
In other respects. When Intoxicated
he would frequently curse and other
wise abuse her In the presence of
others, much to her shame and In
dignation. At one time he Is said to
have cursed and driven the plaintiffs
aged father from their home.
Because of the mistreatment which
she has suffered for years, the plain
tiff asks for a decree of divorce and
being without means herself asks the
court to require her husband to pay
the expenses of the case. She also
asks for the custody of all the children.
