We had occasion to visit Lacasine
last week, and to say we had a good
time does not half express it. We left
there more thorough!y convinced of a
fact we already knew; that Lacasine

men and the most hospitable older ones
to be found anywhere. Everywhere we
went we were asked to come back again,

While visiting on the Hayes pasture
last week we had occasion to stop at
the home of Mr. Toliver Haves and
while there we had the pleasure of
meeting Mr. Weber, the well man, of
the Andrews Artesian Well Co Mr.
Weber informed us that he was puttine
down a well for Mr. Hayes that will
insure Mr. Hiyves an abundant supply
of good water. Weber is all right and
so are his wells.
We have been a little bit slow this
week, because we can not keep from
looking out of the window and longing
for money enough to buy a house so we
can hire Renfro and IHall to paint it
just like the masonic hall.
There will be preaching tonight at
the M. E.Church. Subject: Confession

there will be an exposition of the 23rd
Psalm. Subject at 8 p. m.: God our

All are cordially invited.
THE NEW INDIAN.
Itatistlcs show That He Is Past IB
tering the Paths of tiv
Illsation.
That the Indian is leaving his native
trail for the "white man's path" is
well evidenced by statistics gathered
from the annual reports of the aUnited
"ta'es Indian agents, says Youth's
Companion. A greatly increasing
aumber of Indians on the reservations,
or what have lately been reservations,
can read, Nearly a hundred thousand
of them have completely adopted the
white men's dress. Almost all of them
have discarded the original dress of the
people of their tribes.
Eleven hundred dwelling houses
were built by Indians last year, and:
the iudians on the reservations now
possess more than 25,0( dwelling
houses. They are, as a rule, no longer
nomadic, no longer dwellers ia wiy
wamrns. Externally, at least, they are
rapidly adopting the ways of civiliza
tion.
Are they at the same time "'becoming
civilized" in the true sense? It is trot
possible to an',wer yes with confidence.
They are learning to rend, to like in
houses, and to wear white ;men's
clothes; yet unfortunately, in some
cases at least, the vices of ci.illztion
seem likely to overpower some of the
native virtues of the race. On sonme
reservations in.temperance has in
creased almost exactly in proportion
to the disappearance of the character
istics of the aboriginal red nman.
To civilize means to endlow with the
proper qualities of a citizen; •n' so
fnr as the reading and holsp-.w:I iig
Indian lacks these qualities, hli trans
flrm.,tion into the outward semblance
of a white man fails in its dhief pur
pose. The dluty of the white people
toward the Indian is far from being
ended with imposing upon him the
superficial marks of their civilization. I
