A Faribault special to the Mime
! apo]is Journal of June l says that
one of the most interesting students
this year at Seabury is Henry Whip
pie St. Clair, full blooded Sioux
from Birch Cooley. He is the son
Of the Rev. George St. Clair, one of
Bishop Whipple's full blood Sioux
clergy, and the first Indian Or
dained in Minnesota and of whom
he speaks as zone of the noblest of
men. - When Bishop Whipple first
came to Minnesota the father of this
young man was a little wild Indian
boy about 10 years old, but with a
wonderfully intelligent face, and he
used to seat himself on the chan
Gel steps when the bishop spoke
and gazed SO brightly and SO earn
estly into the bishops face that the
latter became interested in the lit
tie painted fellow with his gaudy
blanket and feathered head and educ
ted him. Henry St. .Clair's wife,
Amelai St. Clair, is one Of the most
, expert lace makers at the mission
and he has several bright and intel
ligent children He hcs been or
dained a deacon in the Episcopal
church and next year will graduate.

the open air. This increased in
thickness slightly between that time
