Bishop Whipple Tells Some Stories

Amusing Extrac,s from the vener-

ZealO0a ExhOrter.

Few men are more beloved, and
none beloved with more reason, than
the Rt.-Rev. Henry b. Whipple. d. D.,
LII. d., the Protestant Episcopal bish-
op OF Minnesota. Since ls49 he has
been laboring in the ministry of the
church and in out-of-the-wa places
for the most part. AS long ago as
1856 he ORGANIZED parish in Chicago
and was the first to make the church
free to all coners. When he was
made bishop of Minnesota in 1859 al
most the entire northwest fell under
his jurisdiction more than $4,000
square miles. inhabited chiefly by
wild beasts and wilder men, being
then included in a see which has slow
ly shrunk to ess than one-,hird the
size. His chic care at that tine and
later came to be the American InGi-
ans, who are still among his NEST de-
voted admirer: DR.. Whipple was a
missionary always.
The Life S Dry" abounds in arec-
dotes OF the most amusing kind and
many OF these have to do with the red
men. The account given of all the
tribes with Which the bishop came in
contact shows them to be most amen
able to reason but far more suscep-
tible to kindly influences. It shows,
too. that the national government has
been the most determined and implac-
able enemy O. the wards of the ma
ton.
The Indians to whom we are likely
to deny any s.nse of humor, have Il
keen knowledge and love for fun.
One agent who was sent out TO them
was colonel the militia when he
was at home. and he thought he
would take advantage of the fact.
