Ed. Andrews In
4 dian Romance,

A story which would be inter-
esting, rom antic and important if
it were true was recently told a
reporter on the Mankato Free
Press by Ed. Andrews, who was
once a well-known resident of this
state, but whose present home is
in Oregon. Mr.. Andrews undoubt-
eddy believed the story; he is an
honorable, high-minded gentle
man and comes from a noted FAM
lily. One brother is noted
surgeon, another was district
Judge inySouth Dakota. while Ed.
and two other brothers sang them
selves into fame in light opera in
"The Mikado.' The gist of the
story is "the capture of a two-year-
old boy at Lac Qui Parle in
August, 1862, by the Sioux Indi-

Myrick, lived in the town Of LIE
Sueur and that he was cousin of
the two Indian traders and their
brother Ira. None Of these Myr-
ick's ever lived at Lao Qui Parle
or within many miles of there.
It is unfortunate that such stor-
les gain currency and it is equally
unfortunate that reputable papers
give publicity to them without due
investigation. It is a serious
thing to pervert and falsify his
tory; we owe it to the hardy pio-
neers, who carved out the golden
destiny Of this beautiful state, to
keep the record straight.

Il list contains no more than the
names of things and persons to be

attic list; it has a certain order
which we do not find in list. A
catalogue is arranged alphabetic-
ally, or according to some deter
mined principle. The reader will
now perceive the difference be-
tween list of books and a cata-
logue of books. A list of books
will merely give their titles, put
down without any attention to
order. A catalogue of books will
give not only the titles, edi-
tions and dates of the books it
contains, but will divide them un-
der the several heads of History,
Poetry, Philosophy, etc.

active belief. It has been said

Billy McGreSor.

, c
man who had buffeted with the
world for several years. He had
been up and down; had tasted the
bitter and the sweet. Lured by a
desire for fame he had left the
wholesome, pure surroundings of
his native village and gone to
New York. From there he drift
ed to the coast, then to the Gulf
States. In fact, as time rolled on,
he became a "drifter," and finally
drifted to prison where he learned
the chief requisite of suck-sess-
hard labor.
In due time his sentence ex-
pired and he was free to continue
the search for fame; but after a
few years reflection he concluded
that fame comes unsought. Nor
did he desire to return to the illu-
sorry life of idleness; instead, he
asked only, as Lincoln did, for a
chance to make an honest living.
To secure this opportunity was
difficult, for none of the Eastern
shoe companies would furnish
employment for man who had
served time. When asked where
he had learned his trade, Billy
would reply: "In prison"
So it came about that Billy again
became drifter, but not an aim
less one, for he was seeking hon.
est labor.
After various experiences he ar
rived at Nick OILS, where the Seer
cliff shoe factory was located. He
applied for work and was told to
see the old man, as Seercliff was
called. Upon entering the Office
Billy was somewhat embarrassed
by the presence of beautiful
young girl who asked: Anything
I can do for you. sir?"

"Ohw said she. "You want to

A few moments later the old
man entered and Billy stated his
wishes. ever work in a shoe
factory?" asked Seercliff. Billy
replied: eyes, sir; worked for
several years in the stitching de-
partment of an Eastern factory"
Then he waited for the question
which was sure to follow-the
question he hated to answer, es-
pecially in the presence of this
young lady. Perhaps it would be
best to lie now, and afterwards tell
Seercliff the truth. But Billy
didn't have time to decide, for
soon Seercliff asked: where did
you learn your trader"
Billy glanced at the girl. she
was looking straight at him, then
turning to Seercliff, he said: "Sir,
that question has been put to me
several times. I have answered
truthfully every time, and conse-
quently, been refused work, but I
will not lie. l learned my trade in

The young girl looked at her
father. The old man stood strok-
ing his beard and thinking. Soon
he raised his eyes and meeting the
young mans glance, said: young

in Winnipeg, Manitoba, last July,
had been brought soon after the
massacre by squaw to q Scotch
family named Charles Stewart.
The squaw wanted some provi-
sions, and having put the child
on the floor ii ran to Mrs. Stewart,
saying mamma and Mrs. S.
gave the child some bread and
butter. When the squaw went
away the child had to be forced to
go with her. The next morning
the squaw came again, when the
child again ran to Mrs, Stewart,
who then secured it by giving the
squaw $25 worth of bacon and
-four. The boy grew up as one of
the family, was educated for
profession, but he had poor health,
went to California, and died of
consumption. The family from
whom the boy was obtained was
said to be that of Charles Merrick,
and the story says that he was in
business in early days in Traverse
DIES Sioux with brother; that he
resided with his family at Lac Qui
Parle, where all were killed but
the little boy. The story also
states that Charles Merrick, the
supposed father of the captured
boy, had son, Rush. in Elysian,
Mimi"
The writer pleads guilty to an
intense interest in the history of
the early settlement of the West,
and particularly of this state. It
has also been his privilege to read
and study nearly every obtainable
document pertaining to such set
Element and to have learned of
many stirring events, particularly
those of the 1862 massacre, from
the mouths of actual participants.
Because of the interest, which
this story has aroused, [ feel
warranted in attempting to aid in
unraveling it. If any part of that
which I have heard and read be
fact it cannot be true. No matter
how deeply a romantic story may
appeal to us, let as stick to facts
alone and thus keep the record
straight.
It is perhaps true that a child
was taken to Winnipeg by the
Indians, but he certainly did not
come from Lac Qui Parle. But
one family lived there in 1862,
and of that family but one men,
Der was killed, that person being
Amos Higgins, the head of the
family in question. Again, it
could not have been a Southern
Minnesota child, because a two
year-old baby is very immature,
and the Indians were doubtless
months in making the journey to
Winnipeg. Does it. seem reason
able that two-year-old boy would
remember his white mamma" all
those awful months? No, this
baby must have been stolen near
Winnipeg!
Again, no family named Mer-
rick lived anywhere in that part
of the country, at least I never
heard of any. There we're two
brothers named Myrick in bust
ness at Traverse des Sioux. They
had the only brick building in
that part of the country, they were
| Indian traders and fourished in
the fifties and sixties. One was
not married, all the wives he ever
had were squaws, and the family
of the other one lived always on
Seventh Street in st. Paul. In
1862 the brothers had another

Genus is strong bent of the
mind to some occupation in which
the faculty of imagination is chief
ly employed. Genius originates
ideas, creates new forms, new ex-
pressions. Talent is employed in
reducing to practice the ideas OF
others. Talent initiates faithfully,
copies correctly, evolves diligently;
but originates nothing. Great
artists are geniuses. Great his
torians are men of talent. We
speak Of genius for poetry,
painting, music, etc.; and of a tai
emit for mathematics, history,
diplomacy. In genius the imag-
ination is exercised, in talent, the
memory.
To Divade-To Separate.
To dsvide is to cut into parts; to
separate is to place those parts at a
distance from each other. Objects
may be divided, and yet near; to
be separated, must be removed
from the other. A hermit is sep
arated from the rest of the world.
Society is divided into classes. A
man may divide his time into
hours Of study and hours of recre-
alton. Divisions are natural, sep
arations more violent. The year
is divided into months, weeks, and
days. Two vessels become separ-
ated in, storm. There cannot
be a separation without a division,
tho there may be division with
out a separation.
