The writer was appealed to on one occasion by the most sor rowful looking Indian he ever saw, and the following conver- srtion ensued: " Ha...d bad luck with my squaw; she bad squaw, I get you to help me. 1 get a divorce. You give me one. " "No, " was the reply, "! cannot do that. " "Church folks give divorce then; bad squaw. " "No, church cannot do it. " He went away deeply sighing.
