BIBLE SCHOOL DEMONSTRATION
AT FIRST NJ. P. CHURCH

On Sunday evening at 7:30 the Va
cation Bible School which has been
held in First M. P. church for the
last three weeks, will have charge of
the service.
We urge all members of the church
to be present and most cordially
urge all friends, and parents in par
ticular, as it is. at this time that
children will have an opportunity to
share with them some of the things
they have been doing in the three
weeks of School of Religious Educa-
tion.
1t is a service which may well
have the interest and support of
every member of the church-first,
because at this time opportunity will
be given for them to contribute as
they may feel able to the financial
support of the school, and second,
because it is a service which is rep
resentative of what our children are
and learning, and the vari-
GUS ways in which they have been
preparing to take their places as
members of the church.
The program itself will be the
own and they very sin
eerely want every grown up"
church member to be there to share
it with them.

Mulberry colored velvet curtains
bought in preparation for the Senior
Play which will be presented Febru-
ary 22nd, are hanging on the stage
in the assembly and lending their
beauty to the surroundings. The Sc
nior Class feels that the transforms
ton has in a way raised their stan
dards but they promise that 1.-The
Whole Towns Talking" will more
than live up to them. The scenery on
the stage has been repapered and the
mode of decoration changed so that
the public will be most agreeably sur
prised at the new setting.
The water pail in Miss Johnson's
room, which was patronized by
everyone hast week, is now forgotten
for Monday afternoon the water pipes
were thawed. The school is making
up the four days which were lost be-
cause Of the frozen water by start
ing school at l o'clock in the after
noon instead of lis and by letting
out at 4 instead Of $3.50. Thus one
period is made up each day, and one
day is made up each week.
1t is rumored the Juniors are laying
plans for their Prom to be given some
time in April.

The Lincoln boys were bested by
Browning's representatives last Fri.
day in a fast game ending with q
score of 40 to Is. The Browning five
played aggressively all during the
game scoring at will with lucky shots
from all parts of the floor. In the
first half Browning stacked up big
score; Lincoln came back strong the
second half, holding their own till
the last few minutes of play when
Browning's luck again helped them
to net to 5 points. The Browning
coach stated that the boys played far
better than they had all season. Well,
we found that out.

Bonners Ferry Herald: Charlie Isa-
dore dramatically regained his posi-
ton as chief Of the Kootenai Indian
tribe near here last Friday when he
sentenced himself to 35 lashes for
being drunk, unflinchingly bore the
penalty, and climbed on the water
wagon. He decreed that should he be
found drunk again, the penalty be
doubled.
Charlie, the descendant of long
line of chiefs, was deposed last fall
by his tribesmen who charged him
with frequent drunkenness and de-
bauchery. David, one of the Oldest
and most Industrious members of the
tribe, was elected chief as the after
math of powwow in which Charlie
brought disgrace to himself and his
people by being too drunk to do the
honors of his high office, or so the
Indians said. Chief David has since
reigned, while Charlie sank into OBJ
scurity, except on such occasions as
his conduct brought him into promi-
nence. From q wise and beloved chief
he had descended to the status Of q
general nuisance.
Last week Antoine Vale, Indian po-
iceman, rounded up four members Of
the tribe as they were staging wild
party. The liquor, it was afterward
learned, was secured from mail or
der house in the form of rubbing al
cohol. The label plainly stated that
it was for external application only,
but of course the Kootenai braves
mo savvy" such difficult words. 1t
contained high percentage Of alco-
hol, the one essential quality.
The party became rather rough, it
is reported, and knives and guns were
much in evidence. The policeman evil
IDENTIFY interferred just in time to pre-
vent serious consequences. Two men,
bers of the party had already been
slightly stabbed.
Ex-Chief Isadore was a member of
the "whoopee" party. Others were
Louis White, Alec Pierre and Justin
Joseph. The latter made break for
liberty and escaped across the Cana
dian border, no doubt joining the
members of the tribe who reside in
British Columbia.

Indian Chief Orders 35 Lashes on Own
Bare Back Because of Drunkenness

Charlie, Louis and Alec were hand
cuffed, thrown in the bastile and later
were brought before Chief David, who
believes the Indian can work out his
own salvation without the interven-
ton of the white man.
1t was then that Charlie Isadore
saw a great light. He was the son of
chief-the descendant of many
chiefs. He had betrayed his ancest-
ors, had virtually forsaken his people
in their hour of need. BY the divine
right Of kings he, and not David.
should be sitting in judgment on the
wrongdoers. Drawing himself to his
full height, folding his arms and with
a new CLEAN in his eye he took his
place beside David.
1T is |, Chief Charlie Isadore," he
announced, who will name the PEN
atty for these offenders" or words to
that effect. II hereby sentence Louis
White and Alec Pierre to seven days
work on the woodpile under the d.
rection Of Antoine Vallee." He then
squared his shoulder, threw his head
back and proclaimed:
Anu CnalIE lSduOIc seHLtHcc W
So lashes Of the whip"
It was perhaps the most dramatic
moment in the history of the Kootenai
tribe since the coming of the white
man. Their chief had indicated him.
self. He was great man after all,
we'll worthy to lead them into that
state of tranquility prescribed by the
white mans laws. He was unani-
mously proclaimed their chief, while
old David quietly stepped down.
The IS lashes were administered by
Joe Meschell, former Indian police
man who himself was deposed for
drunkenness. He did not spare the
naked back of Charlie Isadore, and
great welts grew under the swarthy
skin. But Charlie was game and gave
no sign of suffering.
"Hear mel my people," he said
when the last stroke had been tolled
off, Charlie Isadore sentences him
self to twice 35 lashes should he be
ever again drink the white mans fire
water"
Throwing an arm around the bent
shoulders of old David, he walked
slowly and painfully to his tepee.

Because here and there throughout
