one of the survivals from the days of
Louis XIV of France, that grand mon
arch who once ruled over Nebraska.
At that time, when LaSalle, Tonti
and all that adventurous crew of
Frenchmen were going up and down
unknown rivers in their canoes, the
valley of the Missouri was as legiti-
mate subject for romance as the land
of the Arabian Nights.
The manuscript, which translate
below, was found at Paris some forty
years ago, and was published in New
York by J. G. Shea. Only 100 copies
were printed. Parkman gives the sub
stance Of it in an appendix to one of
his books, but I have never seen the
entire narrative in English. 1t is
given here at the instigation Of the
State Historical Society people.
Sagean was one of that class of Ca
madam frontiersmen known as voyag-
eurs or engages. He turned up at
Btest IN the spring of 1901, with a
tale Of wonders which caused him to
ke brpught to the notice of the intend
Ant de la marine, M. Begon. Before
this official he made the following
statement, which M. Begon verified
as much as was possible' and for
warded to the court. He received In
return orders to fit his friend out with
a vessel and 20 men, to return and
"recognoistre the land which he says
he has discovered. d
On the 3Oth of May, Sagean arrived
at the French colony of Biloxi, near
the mouth of the Mississippi, with an
order on the commandant for the con-
struction of "a pirogues, which were to
be armed with 100 Canadians and put
under his command for voyage Of ex-
ploration. Here. however, he found
number Of persons who had known
him in former years, and were we'll
aware that he had never been in the
region described. So the command
ant, M. de Sauvolle, while beginning
work on the pirogues, wrote to M. de
Pontchartrain that he had certainly
been deceived.
This was in August Sagean was urg-
ing a hasty departure, that he might
not have to winter among the bar
barous Illinois; but it is probable that
he died shortly of the fevers that
ravaged the unfortunate colony of
Biloxi, for after this letter of August

Relation of the Avantures and Voyages

About 20 years ago he departed from
Monreal in Bark canoe to follow the
late Monsieur de la Sale upon discov-
cries, after some courses Of the Sieur
de la Sale he stopped with his troop
in the land Of the Illinois, a savage
nation upon the bank Of the Missis-
sippi, which the Spanish have named
Ell Rio de la Magdelaine, where he
established the fort st. Louis upon an
Islet adjacent unto the main land,
with which it communicatethby by means
of bridge which is withdrawn with
in the said fort, this fort built with
the aid of the Sauuages, and the said
Sieur de la Sale, having left the COM
mandment thereof unto the Sieur de
Tonty, he returned again into Canada
with 10 men, and the French Recollet
father, who left the rest of his crew to
the number of 100 men, whereof the
said Sagean was one.
Some time after, desire took the
said Sagean to 60 upon discovery, and
having obtained permission thereunto
of the said Sieur de Tonty, he took
with him eleven other Frenchmen and
two Mahegan Sauuages, who are also
called Lopps, thatis Wolves, they took
three Bari canoes to ascend the said
river Of Mississippi, whereon having
made about $50 leagues they found
fall, which obliged them to make a
portage Of about six leagues,
which being passed they embarked
upon the same river which they as
cended unto 40 leagues without
finding any nation, and having stopped
near month and half to hunt and
try some new discoveries, they found
a river at IA leagues thence which ran
to the south southwest, which made
them suppose that it would flow into
the South Sea, having it's course alto.
gether contrary to those that flow to
the north sea, they resolved to navi-
gate upon it, and to that end made
the portage of the said road, in the
course of which they met many lions,
leopards and tigers which did them
no harm, they entered with their canoe
upon the said river, and after having
made thereon about $50 leagues, they
found the Acaaniba, great nation
which occupieth at least two hundred
leagues of country, wherein they have
several strongly fortified cities, earth
works, (villes fortifiees de fort, de
terrasses) and quantity of villages
whereof the houses were built Of wood,

other in the air with his hand upon

They say that this human statue is
the representative of one of their
Kings, which was one of the greatest
conquerors Of that country, and this
statue hath in his mouth, as it were

Queen, mounted in saddle upon fig

horn of more than an arms length in
| the midst of his forehead, and about
this horse, or Unicorn, there are the
figures Of four great dogs, and that of
another Unicorn with that of man
besides, which holdeth the said Uni
corn enchained. All the figures are
of fine gold, and massive, but very ill
made, and unshapen, they have no
pedestals, they are set as it were upon
a stage that is also of gold, Of thirty
feet square for each of the said statues,
between which is way that leadeth

railings (des grilles de caracoly.)
This is the abiding place of the
Kings guard, composed ordinarily of
two hundred men. At the four cor
ners of this vestibule are four little
open stands, wherein is stationed the
Kings music, which is passing evil

DEMAND FOR GRADUATES LARGE.
Unusual Interest Has Been Awakened
Among the Youth OF Country
Districts.

Sons and daughters of farmers, in
larger numbers than usual, are coming
to Minneapolis this fall to take courses
in the city's business colleges. If pres
emit indications count for anything, the
general prosperity of the country has
turned the minds of farmers toward the
necessities of practical education for
their children. The farmers feel that
with any kind of show they can make
things 60 on the farm, but they are
learning more and more that careful &C
counting meane economy and they want
their boys and girls to do this account
ing whether on the farm or in business.
This feeling has led to an unusually
large correspondence with principals Of
local business schools. The principals
say their correspondence has Increased
from 25 to so per cent over that of last
fall and contains numerous inquiries
frem the country. The schools of the
city have good reputation and have
presented their claims upon the youth
Of the country districts by careful ad-
vertising.
The business Office of one of these in.
stitttions has correspondent this fall with
those who made inquiries last year, but
for good reasons did not follow up the
matter. The result has been surprising.
The office has been overwhelmed with
letters and will be hard pushed until
the opening of the term in September
to answer all of it's inquirers.
Office Help Scarce.
The business men of the city are in
terested in the matter as we'll as the
business college instructors and owners.
Although the farmers boys do not be-
gin to come in until the middle of Octo-
Der or the first of November there are
so many others who wish to prepare for
Office positions that the schools will be
busy from the opening day. These
students are the ones for whom the en-
ployers Of Office help are eagerly wait
ing. Never in twenty years has the
business been so swamped with orders
for stenographers and Office clerks. One
college received seven telephone calls
