In British Columbia. says a writer
in the Strand Magazine, there Is a
little newspaper. the Kamloops Wawa,
circulating among several tribes of
North American Indians. The unique
feature of this journal is that it Is
printed in shorthand. It's story is a
remarkable one. Some years ago the
Rev. j. M. LIE Jeune. a Breton mission
airy, arrived in British Columbia to
take charge Of a territory some so miles
square. He found. the great obstacle
to his work to be the absence of n
means of written communication, as
he natives had no written language Of
their own. His repeated efforts to
teach them to read and write by or
binary methods failed entirely. The
missionary was acquainted with the
simple French Daployan shorthand and
then conceived the novel Idea of teach
ing the Indians to write their own
language phonetically by means of the
shorthand characters. He adapted the
stenographic signs to the Chinook
language n the experiment proved
a complete success. There are today
1000 Indians able to write and read
their own language by no other means
h shorthand. "Wawa" means
talk" In the Chinook, hence the title
of the little cwspap which has been
the natural outcome of the mission
ary's undertaking.

effectively" continued Mr.. Ford.
The latter has been in Chicago for
the gathering of evidence for the prose-

himself with the details of the McNa-

human life in punishment for any

This vas the angry exclamation of
Samuel Gompers on his return from
Troy, when shown a dispatch from
Spokane, saying the Central Labor
council of that city is planning a coun-
try-wide movement to obtain the max
imum punishment for the Los Angeles
dynamiters.
Il do not believe in capital punish
ment under any circumstances ha
continued. Il co not believe the state
has a right to take human life. This
is a very unwise movement. l am
against it. 1t is like the populace in
the Roman arena demanding with it's
thumbs down that the victorious glad
iator plunge the sword into his VIC
tim. L do not believe in thumbs down
for these or any other men"
What punishment do you think
should be metcd out to them?" tho
labor leader was asked.
Suppose we let the Judge decide
that. | am content to leave it with
him." was the reply.
