Civilization and Missions.

There is question that is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral well-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
resentative of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man of government and trade, and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe Civilization can only be per
manent and continue blessing to any
people if, in addition to promoting
their material well-befng, it also
stands for an orderly individual liber-
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
of law Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. She
change of sentiment in favor OF the
foreign missionary in single geneoa-
ton has been remarkable.

members of the commission being
General Candy Captain Jack asked
for a parley with the commission, and
the request was granted. As soon as
General Candy and his fellow commits
sion members met the Indians Jack
and his following opened fire and
killed every member of the peace
party.
The Modocs then took to the lava
beds of the northwest and 1t was
found to be impossible to dislodge
them by means of direct assault. The
troops engaged against the Indians at
the first were cavalrymen, land all
their operations had to be conducted
dismounted.
A battery of the Fourth artillery, to
which Lieutenant Howe was attached,
was semitic the front, and the Smelling
of the Indians position was begun. Il
took long time to dislodge them, for
the lava beds were full of caves which
made excellent bomb-proofs.
Finally[l however, starvation did
what shells could not do, and the Mo
docs surrendered. Captain Jack, Scar
Faced Charlie, Jim and one or two
other Modocs were hanged for the
murder of the peace commissioners.
Brigadier General Howe entered
the United States Military academy
as q cadet during the civil war. 1t
was only a few years after he was
graduated that the light battery to
which he was attached was sent to
the plains country and thence to Ore
gon.
After the Modoc war was over 1t
became the practise to attach light
batteries to eSpeditionary forces in
the field against the Indians, and
Lieutenant Howe served in the Sioux
campaign of 1876, a campaign which
saw the wiping out of General Gus
ter and three squadrons of the Sew
enth cavalry, +'e temporary triumph
of Sitting Blu. and then the final
rounding up of several thousands of
Sioux warriors who had taken to the
warpath because of the invasion of
their country by the whites.
In the army General Howe is known
as one of the most proficient students
in the artillery branch of the service.

Riverhead, L. AL Riverhead is

three years old, might be still lost and
In danger of perishing from exposure
and hunger. For mile the boy traced
the missing child by marks it had
made on bushes and in an unfrequent-
ed path with a switch.
She had not been gone long before
she was missed. Forthwith the women
grew uneasy, and shortly, when still
wider inquiry failed to bring any word
of the child, they became downright
alarmed, and a general alarm was
spread. Several parties set out in diff
ferent directions, some toward Great
Peconic bay, others toward Good
Ground and the ocean, while still 9TH
ers went up and down along the state
road and east to Jamesport.
One by one the searching parties re-
turned to town empty handed. Not
the slightest definite clue to Margaret
mad been obtained from anyone.
Meanwhile Willie Smith, who had
been with one of the searching parties,
started home by himself across the
fields. On the way he thought of a
lonely path through the woods leading
