lore of nature on mountain and plain,
In forest and barren wilderness. His
father was taken prisoner after the
outbreak of '62, and his uncle carried
the lad with his own family in it's
fight to the wilds Of Canada. The
father, wise old warrior, learned
much Of the ways of the whites dur
Ing the four years of his imprison-
ment. He had the shrewdness to
realize that the reservation spelled
ruin to the Indian, and when released
secured a quarter section of govern
ment land north Of Sioux Falls and,
having recovered his son, went to
farming, became taxpayer anu vot-
Ing citizen. Much interest was taken
In the lad, who rapidly began picking
up an education.
Eventually he was sent East and
completed his studies, graduating with
honor from Dartmouth and later from
Boston University. He was govern
ment physician at Pine Ridge and dis
tinguished himself there during the
Ghost Dance outbreak, the last i'm
portant hostile movement Of the Sioux.

A practical illustration of the intelli-

saved from exposure in the snowstorm
while bearing message of death. About
noon, as Miss Elizabeth Cone, a teacher
at Grafton hall, was on her way along
Sheboygan street from her home to the

quickly followed the dog and found the
little boy unconscious and ice cold. Two
passers-by came to her assistance, and
after giving the lad vigorous rubbing
and some stimulants he was revived.
Punched in his right hand was a telegram
Which gave intelligence from Stevens
Point to Mrs Schell that her husband, a
Central engineer, had been killed by an
accident. The dog went off joyously
barking and wagging his tail after he
knew the boy was rescued.

accept any compensation for his eight
years of unceasing service to his

pure and unselfish patriotism has no
parallel in the history of the world,
