But we suspect that those

tue honest man walks erect, favor

The fact is, that we are too indul-
gent to those whose conduct IS de-
moralizing to society, aud it is for
this reason that the whites are not
willing to make distinction be-

OUR SENTENCE.

The decision rendered by Judge
Macarthur, in our case was great
surprise to many who anticipated
and rrophesied that We would be
"c!oseIy mewed up" behind the
prison bars. On the other hand,
We h;.d sc, res of friends who hop
ed hat there would be a point
blank cquittal. For our part We
are entirely satisfied that the
Coart acted with the view to
warning bo'h the people and the
press, as to the danger of over
stepping the bounds of pr,pr ETY.
81 far as we are concerned We
shall crdeavorto follow the excel
lent advice given by the Court
and ask the people to follow suit.
This We do, as we intimated last
week, because we would do w lful
injury TO no one and because we
have found that we were a prey

WHAT GOOD.

The question has often been ask
ed, VIII. do SO many of our young
men, after completing their academ-
ic course, take up the study Of tile
law? From the students standpoint
this question may be answered in
many ways. In the first place, it
may be because the student has a
peculiar taste in that direction, or,
having cultivated no particular
taste in any given direction, he
ventures the study for the sake of
experiment. Now, in either case,
the student is justified, for if he
declines to follow the bent of his
taste in the one case, he will GER
tainly prove a failure, by reason of
the lack of a proper or adequate
interest in an uncongenial employ
ment; and, in the other, he would
prove equally a failure, if he had
not first determined his fitness for
particular work. Moreover a
lack of sufficient funds prevents
students from going out into active
business life, while the few dollars
III their pocket offer an inducement
to make the most of their time while
"waiting for someing to turn up"
The question with the student is,
how can | best utilize my time
while awaiting the results of the
measures l have put into Opera
tion to secure me congenial and
permanent employment? True, he
might 60 abroad and lecture, or
teach or engage in some other un-
employment, but he is
not satisfied and his work will be
but poorly done. Besides he is do
ing no one any particular harm by
uis studies. He spends little
money, but that is his and it was
made to spend for honorable pur-
poses. This he will tell you. if
you only ask him and it is his right
10 do so.
Iue Student more justified in study
ing the law. This we think not for
the students sake alone. We, as IA
people, have little or no idea of the
aw and but very poor concep
lion of our duties as citizens. Many
rights We have, of which we are
not aware and many remedies are
1t our command of which we have
no knowledge. We are being rob-
bed and cheated every day on ac
count of our ignorance of the law
md those business customs com.
monty known to the whites. Should
he student never practice the law,
and many there be who will not)
he can be of service to himself and
hose aroundin giving advice and in |
which will tend toward a
more general enlightment on the
legal matters which dai.
y arise and with which we have to
leal. 1t may be, that, in practice,
,ut one out of "a thousand will sue |
'eed, while those, who are seeking
or taste, will be surely disappoint-
I'd but there is no doubt that the
greater the number we have among
Is who understand the law, the
'etter it will be for our people in
very way.

Among the many grand and i'm

situated on M st. bet. 18th and To-
tn StS., n. W. belonging to the con.
gregatiOn whose name heads this
article.
The history ofthis church ia an
eventful one, and a brief outline
may serve as an incentive to the
rising generation to press forward
with the work commenced by the
early fathers.
The rhurch was organized in
1916, over 4S years ago, when not
only the vista of slavery lowered
around the hearthstone of the faith
ful few struggling to serve the
King of Kings, but the HYDRA
headed monster reached into those
homes and snatched the
babe from its mothers breast. and
sold one or both into slavery under
the shadow of the Capitol of free
1t was with this condition of sur
roundings that a few God-fearing
men and women in 1886 organized
the church, and under the leader
ship Of A. w. Wayman, afterwards
Bishop Wayman, the first house of
worship, frame structure, was
erected and dedicated to the ever
living God, on the site now occupi |
I'd by the magnificent temple of
Worship ready for occupan-
~.
In 1851 the old frame was rele-
gated to the rear of the lot to give
place to a more commOdiOus brick
1difice to accommodate the grow
ng and prosperous congregation.
The church then erected, was re-
garded ample in size and facilities
sor generations to come, but the
spirit of the Lord permeated and
blessed the congregation to such
an extent that it was found abso-
ute necessary to enlarge their
5emple OF worship, and this was
commenced 10y Rev. j. w. Steven
'on, in 1881.
The present church edlfice,
which is completed, is 80 12O,
md is build of brick with granite
trimmings. The style of architect

as the Northern Pacific east bound
train was running along the road near
Arlee, on the Flathead reservation, 1t
ran over squaw aud pappoose, who
were evidently asleep on the track,
the squaw probably drunk. The train
literally made mince meat of the un-
fortunate reds, The encumbrance
threw the rear trucks of the tender off
the track, and before they could be re-
placed, crowd of Indians had popped
up from all direction. and began Yell
ing to each other. They were prob
ably apprising the late arrivals of the
accident, but the train men took il to
be most hostile demonstration. and
were scared beyond measure. They
worked at replacing the trucks with
blanched cheeks and trembling hands
and the Pullman conductor had de-
vised means to fortify himself before
the train moved on unmolested. F:r-
