Bishop whIpple's Method OF sub-
DUNG Refractory and Re-
bellioua Braves.

Most interesting Is Bishop Whipple's
account OF the manner in which he
once prevented an Indian outbreak,
says II. B. Merwin, In Atlantic.
'"Courteousness of speech" he says.
sis O marked characteristic Of the In
dian. 1t Is an act OF great rudeness
to interrupt another. and the last
words of every speech are: I have
done knowledge Of this fact once
enabled me to settle serious difficult
ty. The Indians at Leech Lake had
heard--as was the fact-that the gov
ernment had sold all their pine with
out their knowledge and consent"
An uprising was imminent, and the
Indians had already killed the govern
ment cattle. Bishop Whipple was re-
quested by the president to go TO
Leech Lake and negotiate with the In
dians. ut was In the dead Of winter,
the thermometer below zero, and the
snow deep. 1t was a journey of IS
miles through the forest, and IL took
us three days 20 reach the lake. The
Indians came TO their council in paint
and feathers. angry and turbulent"
Falmouth, their chief, made violent
speech, 10 which the bishop replied
briefly, as follows: II shall tell you
the truth. 1t will not be pleasant to
nv red brother. When you killed
those cattle, you struck the Great
Father in the face When you stole
those goods, you committed a crime.
/ am not here TO tell you what the
Great Father will do. He has not told
me. II he does what he ought TO do,
he will arrest those who have com
mitted this crime, II 1t takes 10000
men"
"As expected" the bishop relates,
"the chief was very angry, and.
springing to his feet. began to talk
violently. / folded my arms and sat
down. When he paused. said quiet
": Falmouth. are you talking, or
am i talking? II you are taking. ]

finished The Indians all shouted:
Hol ho!' Their chief had committed
a great breach Of courtesy toward me,
their friend.
Overwhelmed with confusion. Flat
mouth sat down. and knew that the
ground was mine. then told them
that when / heard Of the pine sale
