r. 90 80 * N- Of
Forty-two years ago the late beloved
Henry B. Whipple- was consecrated
bishop of Minnesota. It soon became
simpler to call him bishop to the In
dams. More than fifty times did he
make the long journey from the north
west to Washington to tell. the story
Of the Indians wrongs. and many times
he encountered a. pititul failure be-
cause he could find no one person in
authority. Authority was vested in
boards and bureaus; and hedged about
with investigations. Aanotable excep-
ton was hisyfrst interview, with Pres
1dent Cleveland. HE explained how
the grasping white Spectator had
moved on to Indianrlands; damned the
rivers and let the waters. overflow the
Indians grain fields. President Cleve-
land exclaimed that It was q burning
shame. He sent for the secretary OF
the interior, asked himsto take the
statement from the bishops own
mouth, Endorsed It, and sent It with an
urgent message to congress. Within .
week the long-suffering Indians wore
reimbursed for their great loss.

The lighthouse keeper on the island
Of Kuriate, outside Monastir, a little
port on the coast of Tunis, is besieged
by wild pigs. Originally those pigs
were tame. They had been turned on
to the island by a Monastir farmer to
be fattened cheap.y. RAPIDLY, how
ever, they bred and increased in num-
bers till the island became too small
for them. They ate OFF every vsstige
of food, devoured ev;ry rabbit in the
place, then. driven wild by hunger, fell
to devouring each other. Finally, tbs
unhappy lighthouse keeper, the only
human being on the island. had to
barricade himself In his cabin, whence
he contrived to signal to the mainland,
and a gigantic pig hunt is being ar
ranged as the only. way Of raising the
siege. ~; -E

Why is Theodore Roosevelt commons
~ spoken Of as the twenty-sixth Pres
ident Of the United States when he is
only the twenty-hfth man to hold that
office? Obviously because some, ona
.thoughtlessly spoke Of President Clevs-
land, whose two terms of ONCE were
disconnected, as the "twenty-second
and twenty-fourth President Of the
United States. But In a list of men.
not Of terms Of Office, should MI. Cleve-
land be assigned two numbers? It is
logical to call him the twenty
second President of the United States,
since he was the same man in both
terms, and accordingly to call MI.
Roosevelt the twenty-ffth President.
He is filling out the twenty-nintt
Presidential term.
