had suffered enough and she was en-
titled to consideration.
From q tall masthead, erected on
the sloping lawn, every day iutters q
small blue flag, which is especially
under the care of a certain ancient
mariner of aspect curious and Ian
guage quaint, who rolls along the
walks and drives Of the Virginia
plantation as II he were still on the
heaying deck of ship. He answers
to the name of Jabez Slocum, and is
full of strange tales Of distant lands
and teeming seas. The children OF
the vicinity love him.
Philips neighbors, in common with
this old man, call him Admiral
Grafton" He Is, in fact, rear ad-
miral of the blue, and the flag Is that
of his rank. ...
In the little summer-house there are
two women. The difference between
them is as marked, thinks Philip, as
he observes them. himself unseen,
from the porch of the house above, as
when he first saw them In the old
Chateau de Josselin in Brittany In
France. There Is but one doll be-
tween them now. It Is not Toto, nor
any of the demoiselles de Paris. This
one has blue eyes like his father and
mother, and the midnight hair OF Anne
has been lightened into curly brown
that speaks Of Philip. Josette, who
had been brought from France after
the battle, kneels at her mistress feet
In alteration. From where Grafton
stands he can see the downy head OF
his young son nesting against the fair
white bosom of his mother. Young
Philip de Rohan Grafton Is hungry
but he will not be so long!
The two women break into the
words of familiar song. The man
watches and listens. There is a steI
behind him. He turns and finds him
self face to face with old Jean-Renaud.
'They sing yonder. Do you hearr
asked Grafton.
"Yes, monsieur" answered the old
man smiling.
do you know what 1t is they sing?"
Philip knows it we'll, he has heard II
often; but still he asks the question,
thinking the while Of the morning he
first heard it from the children at the
foot Of the tower when he asked jean
Renaud about it long ago.

How He Quieted a Panieky Audience
at Bunker Hill.


On June II, 1925, the streets Of Bos-
ton were thronged with citizens and
country folk. AS one Of the old stage
drivers remarked, Everything that
has wheels and everything that has
legs used them to get to town today!"
A brilliant civic and military process
sion marched through Charlestown.
In the place of honor rode the fine,
portly figure Of Lafayette. No infirm-
ity bespoke his almost threescore and
ten years, for Of course on horseback
he did not display the slight lamenees
contracted in this country's cause at
the battle OF Brandywine.
After laying the cornerstone OF

fused to take the seat prepared for
him under the pavilion devoted to the
official and distinguished guests.

these reports were made we
stamped them as false, and the
official report just given out cor
roborates us. These reports,
which were sent broadcast, were
made expressly to deceive the

as the latter were concerned they
were not deceived.

REV. F. +. PIERz.

The above cut is that of Father
Pierz, whom the Chippewas
knew and loved better than
any missionary that has ever
been among them. Although
it is over twenty years since
he died, his memory is still
cherished among them,- and they
frequently speak OF him as the
best man that ever lived. They
also tell many anecdotes of his
travels among them. his many
narrow escapes from starvation
while lost in the woods when res
qued by them, his many acts OF
charity and his simple nature. No
matter how great the distance he
had to travel before he could re-
plenish his supplies and no matter
how neagre these supplies, he
would feed every Indian he met
on his route. The Indians always
took great pleasure in being able
to serve him without compensation.
and they were never reluctant
about taking him from one Indian
VILLAGE TO another, His influence
among them had no limit.
We are indebted to Father
Simon, Catholic priest atBeaulieu,
for the following biography OF
Father Pierz.

ResuIvely Of Reservation
a Necessity,

There has been, since the In
dians on this reservation have re-
ceived their lands III sevcralty,
more or less dispute regarding the
lines of their several alotmrnts.
There are only few pefsofis who
know the exact locations OF these
lines. and on this accoiint therc
has been more or less friction be-
tween alIottecs who have claimcd
each others lands and timber. 1t
has also frequently happened that
allottees have improved ahe( ,cul-
tivatcd lands other than their own
ON account of their ignorance of
the location Of the lines OF their
alletmcntS.
The chiefs Of this reservation
shO1iid call the attention Of Agent
Michelet to the great need of hay
ing tlfe reservation resurYeyed or
the lines of the original survey
restaked. 1t is not absolutely
necessary that the reservation be
resurveyed but the original survey
should be rcstaked even if this is
done only at section corners. TO
do this the cost would .tiot. exceed
ten thousand dollars, and there is
no way in which the Chippewa
funds could be expended to better
advantage to the Indians or shis
reservation, Major Michclct will
undoubtedly recognize the urgent
necessity of at least restaking the
lines of the survey of this rescr-
yation and will therefor make Il
favorable recommendation to the
commissioner of Indian affairs in
thc matter. Bat the mhmbcrs Of
this reservation should go further
and enlist the. assistance Uf Con
gre ssman Steenerson and the
United States senators from this
statc,in their behalf. and in this
way obtain Legislative action, if
such is necessary, to obtain the
,rcsurvey TO continue to talk
about this matter around hotel
offices will avail nothing, and in
order to accomplish something
the attention of the authorities
should be called to it.

TRUE AS GOSPEL.

How is an Indian to become Il
civilized individual man if he has
no individual civilized chances.
1t would rob them of manhood
and make paupers of emigrants
coming to us from any country in
the world to rescrvatc and double
burcauize them as We do our
Indians Carlisle Fed Man and
Helper.
The "Rrd Man and Hciprl''
has struck the key note Of th,
causes which keep the lndi.
down in his efforts to become
civilized citizen with all the
rights privileges and inmunitics
of such citizenship tLtil you
give the Indians citizenship = with
out string on it, and raise all
the restrictions with which the
interior department surrounds
them. they will continue to lr a
burden upon the government, and
lack the ambition which, is always
an incentive to improve con-
dtions.
If. as the Red Man and Helper"
states. emigrants were to be
placed on reservations with the
same restrictions that are placed
over the Indians. we would ask
how long it would take them to
become Americanizedf We be-
licve that they would retain all
their national characteristics as
long as they were not allowed to
mingTe freely with Americans.
Why then should the Indians be
expected to change their whole
manner of living and gaining a
iivlihood when such restrictions
as they have to contend with are
placed over them by the govern
ment's policy which practically
says so far will you go and no
further"

HAULING TIMBER OFF
RESERVATION.

A special to the Duluth News
Tribune from Cass Lake states
that TIE timber cut under the pro
visions Of the Morris Act is being
hauled away, and adds.
1T is safe to say that never has
any timber been cut whose seal
ing was the object of more solici-
tude than will be shown regarding
this Indian timber. At each camp
the government has q fltan sta
toned whose duty it lis to scale
''all merchantable timber SIX
inches and UP at the small ends,
as it is banked or placed on
the skids. Each separate log
must be numbered and stamped
with the magic initials u. s.
The law provides that, the Indian
chiefs may if they SO desire, also
have scaler to check. the other,
but Indian Agent Scott is going
ahead for the Indians by having
his own scalers start right in with
the government 5 and not wait rn-
til a dispute arises or the season
is Finished"
The law gives tie chiefs the
right to select check scalers, and
they should mot sulk in their
tents" because the government
and congress has ignored and de
.ceived them in regard to their
timber matters, but they should,
even if they do not favor the
Morris. Act, select a corps of
check scalefs and do what they
can to protect tire tribal interests.
Major Scott fffay be making an
effort to secure a fair deal for the
Indians but unless he personally
Esupervises the scaling, we have
not much confidence in his ability
to- protect these interests ~.

sippi Chippewas.

In the letter of the late Chipp-
| eva Commissioner, II. NJ. Rice, to
the interior department, which
was published in full in a recent
issue of the ToNIAHAwK, he fully
sets forth the status of the Miss
issippi Chippewas in the following
manner:
THE. treaty of 1867 and
the act of 1887 were not effected
By the negotioass contemplated by
the act of January 1889, except giv-
ing permission to other Indians
having no intersest heretofore in
saidreservationto to settle thereok. =
tits fact, that under the eX-
isting laws, the Chippewas who
removed from other reservations
} in this state mot Mississippi to
this reservation, had only the
right to take each an allotment of
land here. With the selection of
these allotments, their rights
ceased; and they had no right to
participate in the funds derived
from the sale Of the dead and down
timber that was cut on this resef-
vation although the Indian Office
ut Washington authorized and
directed that this be done. Neither
have any of the children, f'orn
to these removals since locating
on this reservation, had the right
to allotments. The department

ments, bti. we believe it is time
for the Mississippi bands, to
whom this reservation belongs, to
insist upon their rights, namely:
that they he allotted 16Oacrcs of
land each as promised by the
Chippewa commission. and which
condition was the principal one
which caused them to assent to
the act of 1889 and under which

to this, the Mississippi Indians

this class of timber on this rcscr-
sation. to the exclusion Uf its

Responding to repeated calls OF
Bishop Fred Baraga, Father Pierz

of his life for the civilization OF

1885 was the day Of bis departure
and Sept. 18th. Of the saihe year
he arrived at Detroit, .Mich The

established two new missions at
Grand Portage and Fort Williams,
In the following year Father Pierz
! transferred his headquarters, to
| Waganakising or Crooked Tree.
Here was the field of his apostolic
labors among. the Ottawas till
| 1852.
The Indians reyered him as their

only the principals of religion but
alsote till the land and live in
decent houses.
The Territory of Minnesota at
that time had no Catholic mission

invited the friend Of the Indians,
Father Pierz, to come and do
some s'new breaking among the
Minnesota Chippewas. Grow

spot he chose for building lip a

Lake, Pcllagama, etc. the light OF
the true faith was heard from the
"Akiwensi Mekateokonaie' as he
| is still called by the Chfppewas.
In 1853 he took: with him to Red
Lake Jealous young priest, Rev.
Lawrence Lavtizar, formerly OF
Crow Village. Mich. In returning
from visit to the pagan Indians
across Red Lake, this young
priest was caught in q blizzard
and froze to death Dec. B. 1868.
Father Pierz had had him brought
back to Crow Wing where he was
buried.
In 1852. an outbreak occurred
among the Chippewas. and on
| this occasion Father Pierz used
his influence among them, and 1t
was largely due to this influence
that they finally disbanded and
returned to their several reser-
vations.
