ADOPTING CIVILIZED WAYS.

In the civilization of the Indian.
the government has undoubtedly made
great Roadway. In many cases the
red man has learned to head and
write and to follow intelligently the
various aVocations of life even to the
extent of adopting law, medicine anG
literature. Again, he has learned the
tricks so often employed by his
white-skinned brother to secure the
useful coin without giving in return
value received. This matter was
brought forcibly to public attention
in Mesa during the past few days.
On Monday several checks were
turned in to the local banks that
proved upon investigation TO be for
geries. In every case an Educated
Indian was shown to have been the
guilty party one for SIS was passed
on c. w. Conger and one for $50 was
worked off on David Harowitz. Be
fore the forgeries were discovered the
forgers had succeeded in getting out
of the country. OF course the Indian
is no worse in this respect than the
white man; those naturally inclined
TO crime have found that raising
checks is a simpler way than raising
scalps, the latter method having been
popular with his ancestors.

Sr., who is interested there, had a
letter from a partner, saying that the
land had gone away up in value and
asked for a power Of attorney to act

gan again as a labOrer in the harvest
fields, getting a job tending separa-
tor for Walden brothers; but they
too. went broke before the season
ended. and started for the Palouse
country, arriving in Pullman with

Mr. Erb was three years In the
Portland commercial colleges, and in

THE AWFUL PERIL
OF BEING PAID.

salary is like an aching tooth:
one would like TO do without il, yet
one breads its withdrawal, writes "An
EmplOye," in the London Express.
Perhaps the worst of a salary is
the fear of its extinction This fear.
curiously enough, rises as the salary
rises. When you draw a pound
week you are fairly safe, provided
you never make a mistake, are al
ways punctually at your work place,
seldom go before time, slave like ten
niggers, delight your employer by
your willing ways, and prove beyond
doubt that no man in the world could
do your tasks better than yourself.
Happy is that man who can do his
work as well as il can be done. For
my part, l envy a carpenter. Say
he is planning wood all day. That is
pleasant, light, clean work, fragrant
even; and if he is a good planer he
need be ashamed to look no man in
the face at the days end. But if
you are a picture painter. or a word
painter, or anything of that sort, you
doubtless know that the difference
between your work and that of better
men is so vast t1dt IL e1lcrOdCHSS, dS
you might say, on eternity.
Working on a pound week. it is
likely that your work is within your
power and is such work that you
may do as well as another; this is
something to thank the gods for. But
when your salary rises to two pounds
a week. or to three, and thence to
the magnificent height of four or
five-bewarei You are doing work
that might be better done. You COM
pete with wiser men. Well may you
imagine that every day your en-
ployer looks askance at your salary.
He is always wondering If you are
worth while.
But perhaps really the worst of
salary is this: AS salaries rise. so
do expenses, and more so. Nothing
is so certain or so ridiculous in this
world. Indeed, a salary has the bet
ter of man all around.
Thus, should salary stand still, and
be of small account, then the man
who draws 1t is considered as stand
ing still, and being of small account
likewise; to him sooner or later the
sack is given. Should the salary rise

ing satisfaction in the victory over
Rock Hill College, s TO Z.
II was the second time this season
the Brsoklanders have defeated the
strong team from Ellicott City, and it
was accomplished by rushing Ave runs
across the plate in the opening inning
and never being headed.
Both teams played rather loosely In
the field, the errors of the home team
being more costly than those made by
the visitors. In hitting the University
men were much stronger, and so ar
ranged their clouts that they meant
runs.
With two two-base hits, Hessler led
at the bat, while Corbett, at third base
for Rock Hill. carried, off the fielding
honors by a one-handed stab of line
drive and a quick recovery, which en-
abled him to get the runner at first.

The game was a battle between the
pitchers; Mccarthy, for Georgetown, and

first.
Higgins, the second baseman for the
sPreps, did some good all round work.
