sioux INDIANS
in DAKOTA
THERE ARE SIxTY-SIx ASSocIA-
TIoNs ON THEIR REsER-
VATIoNS

Thirty-one years ago when delega-
tion OF Sioux was In Washington, they
were shown through the Young Mems
Christian Association building. They
were so impressed by that visit and
what they learned of the organiza-
tion, that when they went back to
Dakota they called together the
Christian Indians and on the banks of
the Sioux river, just below Sioux
Falls, fifteen of them united in form
ing an association. One of those ORR
ginal members was prominent fig
ure in a convention of the associa-
tions lately held at Sioux Falls.
The associations extended through
out the tribe until there are now six
ty-six with members. A full-blooded
educated Indian, is the travelling Sec
retary. At least a dozen of them
have built log houses for their meet
ing places. Some of the Indians are
earnest evangelists and Bible teach
ers. Every two months meetings
lasting several days are held and the
Indians come all the way from
DEVILS Lake to Sisseton, a distance
of 100 miles, to attend them.
One of the last and notable converts
made from the original bad Indians"
was Short Bull, an incorrigible, ghost
dancer, who led the last battle
against the whites. Another of their
leaders who accepted Christianity
and Joined the association twelve
years ago was then pronounced by
the Indians as mo good" and was
continually drunk. Today he is by
general opinion conceded to be the
best farmer of all the tribes and last
year raised 4,S0O bushels of wheat
and 1000 bushels Of oats. He owns
twelve horses and large herd OF
stock and every one of his seven sons
is Christian. This man is one OF
the volunteer evangelists and Bible
teachers who gives three months to
volunteer association service through
out the Dakotas.
There has been a general change
In the life of the Indians. They are
living in well constructed houses and
under sanitary conditions. There is

DIR. COOK SAYS
VIGNAUD
DlScovERER OF AMERICA IS
CALLED GREAT HUMBUG
BY DIPLOMAT

Paris, March 23.-Simultaneously
with the erection of colossal statue
in honor of Christopher Columbus at
Beunos Ayres, will be published here
on Saturday, two volumes of work
by Henry Vignaud, first secretary of
the American embassy, in which the
discoverer of America is branded an
imposter and humbug and placed
in a class with explorers like DR..
Cook.
Mr. Vignaud retired from the
American embassy two years ago and
has since devoted his entire time to
the completion of study of Colum.
bus. which consumed in all fifty years.
The author is now 81 years old. He
is celebrated as a historian and was
recently consulted by the Pope when
it was proposed to canonize Columbus.
At that time Mr.. Vignaud showed
that the explorer was anything but g
sanity man, and that he had at least
one illegitimate son.
In his study of Columbus, Mr..
Vignaud undertakes to prove that the
explorers discovery Of America was
not the result of his own genius:
that the expedition was not based
upon scientific data, but that Colum-
bus actually learned Of the existence
of America from an ignorant sailor,
who had been there ahead Of him. In
a word, that America was discovered
long before Columbus ever organized
his expedition, and that he merely
took the credit from another man un-
known to history.
The story that Toscanelli wrote a
letter to Columbus, inclosing chart
showing the route across the Allan
tic and that it was with this in hand
that Columbus started out to find the
new world, is disposed Of by Mr..
Vignaud. He declares that the Toscan-
elli letter was forgery, perpetrated
probably by Columbus himself, but
more probably by the explorers
brother, Bartholomew Columbus.
Vignaud says that in 1871 a copy OF
the forged letter, undoubtedly in Co.
lumbus' writing, was found in blank
page of a book once the explorers
property. A facsimile of the document
is published.
Mr.. Vignaud further undertakes 70
prove that the map used by Columbus
could not have come from Toscanelli
because it contained exact informa
tion, which no amount of scientific
thinking could have adduced, but
which could on'y have been learned
from actual experience.
Mr. Vignaud says that Columbus no.
infrequently acted in manner which
renders it possible to suspect him Of
deception. He says the explorer con
cealed the lowness of his origin, thai
he boasted that he was descended
from other admirals of the name o.
Columbus, though it had been dis
covered that the men in question were
not even of his nationality, one beins
Greek and the other a Frenchmau
that he boasted of having served
under King Reno of Anjou, while
modern critics prove that he did not
that he often referred to wonderful
voyages he made in his youth, while
facts show these statements to b.
wholly untrue

In certain parts Of New Guinea the

them an exciting Orr.upa ton. Wailaby
steak is a refreshiL- change from can
ned meats, and the natives are only
too glad to have the remnants OF the
carcass 4 writer In al English mag
szine tells an amusing incident con-
nected with the animal.
He had been ashore in one Of the
sparsely populated regions OF the coast
and secured four wallaby. an ample
supply for the whole party, native
guides and servants Included. But he
found that. although wallaby Is re-
garded as such a delicacy that no
trouble is considered too great TO OBJ
tain IL, none Of the native boys In the
party would touch IL.
This was a mystery until one OF
them explained that they had been
trained In childhood 10 the belief that
II they ate wallaby before reaching a
certain age 1t would stop their growth.
These boys all belonged TO the part
OF the country where wallaby are few,
and one can imagine the crafty old
folks seated round the festive pot aud
winking at Que another as the Young
people declined the succuIent dainty.
