F tho galaxy Of Chippewa chief
tains who have figured promi-
nantlx In the 11neal1al contest

~ F tho galaxy Of Chippewa chief
tains who have figured promt-
nenuy in the unequal contest
waged for centuries between the
contending forces of a mighty
civilization and the untutored knights Of
natures red children, none has been more
Econspicuously noted for honesty of pur
pose, integrity Of character, intelligent
reasoning and loyalty to the great father
and the interests of his people, the Chip
pewas, than has the late lamented chief,
INVITE Cloud. Wah-bon -ah- quod.
| This noted chief was born at Rabbit
lake. near the majestic father Of waters,
between Sandy lake and where Aitkin now
stands. He was descended from dis
tinguished line Of braves and leaders noted
for their prowess IN war and in the chase.
His Fathers.
May-quom- -gwon Cleo Feather), his
grandfather, was a celebrated brave and
blood of the most daring Sioux warriors,
with whom the Chippewas were at war
far many years. Wah-bo-jeeg OWhite
! Fisher), who was the father Of White
! Cloud, was born and reared amidst the
wild and stirring scenes of a primitive
(. civilization. 1t Is related OF him that
when yet very young he was permitted to
accompany his father in the chase and on
the warpath. When he grew up to mans
/ estate, his valor in war and prudence and
Wisdom In council won for him the love
and respect Of his tribe and great influ-
ence at the council fire. He was ever a
friend Of the early missionaries and trad
ers.
i Early in the forties when the late H. NJ.
/ Rice, then a young man, embarked In the
fur trade. he met Wah-bo-jeeg and be-
came much impressed with his noble
bearing and intelligence, and the warm
hospitality and cordial welcome with
(which this noble red man accorded him
served to cement the bonds Of q warm
brotherly friendship between the two,
which lasted thru life. White Fisher soon
proved himself useful factor in promot-
dng the interests Of Wall- be-mah- min
(White Rice, the name by which Mr..
Rice was known among the Chippewas,
and this prompted Mr.. Rice in taking
steps towards the elevation of Wah- bo-
jeeg as chief. It was determined to present
him with large silver medallion. en-
graved with the United States coat OF
arms on one side and the picture of the
great father on the other.
Raised to Leadership.
In due time Mr.. Rice was empowered
by the president with the duty of be.

ne called to his assistance the late Ba
n. Beaulieu, then, too, a young man and
clerk in his employ, and the grand cere-
xnony Of creating a chief was carried out
with as much pomp and splendor as pos.
sible.
After the minor chiefs braves and head
men, gorgeous In their paint, feathers and
wampum, had assembled and the pipe OF
friendship had been smoked by the mem

chief fell to the lot of White Cloud. At
this time the Chippewa bands, who were
residing at Gull Lake and in the neigh
borhood Of Crow Wing entered into an
agreement Greatly Of 1859 with the gov
eminent whereby they ceded the greater
portion of northern Minnesota in exchange
for thirty-six townships, since known as
White Earth reservation.
In the spring Of 1866 the Chippewas
determined to abandon the wigwam and
warpath. remove to White Earth and fol-
low new civilization. From this time
on dates White Clouds popularity as
progressive and wise administrator of the
tribal affairs Of his people. Supported
by the wise counsel of the late Colonel
G. H. Beaulieu and his brother, Paul H.

The Korean government has for
number of years been going from bad

Russia must take over the country
and del Sc the present emperor or
keep him as mere figurehead alone.
One hopes that the Japanese will
do SO, for their rule would mean free
dom for education, government schools
and progress in every way. They I'M
derstand the Koreans better than any
one else, and if intermixed. the blend
ought to be a good one. The Koreans

Japanese quickness of intellect and
martial characteristics, ought to pro-
duce a fine race of men.
On the other hand, If Korea be-

The missionaries will have to clear

ent unrest and negotiations between
Japan and Russia will affect them
very closely.
Japan's Mistake.
The "Tonghaks," who rebelled
against the government in 1894, are
a religious sect spread all over Korea.
They imagined that they were bullet
proof, but soon discovered their error.
The name "Tonghak" means eastern
learning" and the sect Is still exist
ent, tho 1t has not been heard OF much
lately.
The Japanese made great mistake
In numbering the queen during the
war with China in 1895. They thought
that she had an evil influence on the
emperor, and that he might improve
however, and is as cruel as he is sell
fish and ignorant It does seem ex-
traordinary that In this enlightened
age an emperor should be able to have
people strangled at will, or their
hands and feet cut off and sent to DIFF
ferent parts of the country. Vet such
is the case, and the Koreans, tho gen.
tie and charitable in many ways. are
vindictively cruel in their punish
ments.
There is not a single strong man In
Korea fit to take up the reins of gov
eminent. The present ministers are
merely a collection of old-fashioned
people with antiquated ideas, who adj
minister to the wants of the emperor.
The queen consort has considerable
influence at court, and her son, aged
z, is a bright little boy. Her scheme,
no doubt, is to arrange for him to
succeed to the throne instead of either
of the two elder sons, who are of no
use whatever. The Japanese would
probably favor this IL they take the
country, for they could then train him
up according to their own ideas.

Finally the happy dawn Of better days
crowned their humble efforts and a new
era blessed the red mans prayer for daily
bread to him who loved to call all men
brothers. The missionaries came and
churches were erected. The government
provided appropriations for schools and
employed teachers and artisans to lead
them towards the goal Of self support, I'M

well provided with school facilities and

blessings the Chippewas owe their obliga-

and prudence Of the grand old chief and

tute warfare against the trust. Joined

ter, Mr.. Hackett says, refused to assist
him In maintaining the Independent
Booking Agency. and so, IN the face OF
all these conditions, Hackett, as star
and manager has accepted defeat after
more than two years Of earnest work
and the expenditure of vast amount
Of money.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Hackett leaves
the Independent field much the same as
1t was some years ago, David Belasco's
position Is rather a difficult one TO un-
derstand. He has not associated him
self with the lndependent Booking
Agency, neither is he a member Of the
syndicate. SO Mrs. Fiske Is, practically,
the only star playing strictly inde-
pendent theaters.
Some months ago It looked as II half
dozen stars would add their names to
the roster but for some unknown rea-
son, which Mr.. Hackett defines as a
breach OF faith, plans were not COM
pleted and the bottom fell out of the
whole thing.
Mr. Hackett lays down the indepen-
dent scheme with much grace, and
asks touchingy that those who have
been and stlll are interested in him and
his career win give him "the same re-
spect iSat any man should receive who
has struggled honestly and who has
been defeated through no fault Of his
own"
