the BANKS OF the MISSISSIPPI up which
they sailed to Lake Pepin where they
arrived on September II.
On the western shore of this lake
they built a rude fort and named it ]
Fort Beauharnois in honor of the Gov
ernor of Canada. In this Fort was
erected log chapel dedicated to st.
Michael, the Archangel, and within It'll
was celebrated the first Mass of which
there is any definite mention within
the limits of the North Star State. One
of the first Masses said on it's altar was
for Governor Beauharnois on Noven-
Der 4, 1927, the feast of his patron,
st. Charles. In the following spring,
Father De Conner returned to Canada
and the uncertain prospects Of trade
consequent upon the hostile attitude
of the Fox Indians lead to partial
abandonment of the post. In October,
1928, Father Guignas and others de-
scended the Mississippi River to the
mouth of the Illinois in order to re-
turn to Canada. They were taken
prisoners by the Indians, but were sub
sequently released, and in the follow
ing year the Jesuit missionary con-
| tinued his homeward journey.
Fort Beauharnois was not entirely
abandoned, however. In 1892 a new
company took possession and trans
ferred the post to higher ground in
order to escape the rising waters Of
the lake, which rendered the first
post uninhabitable in the spring of
the year. Once more Father Guignas
became it's resident Chaplain. Final
ly, on May 80, 1877, the fort was
evacuated as the Sioux Indians had
become very troublesome. Later on,
it was re-opened; but finally aban-
doned, probably in 1855
AS tar as can be determined 1t is
very probable that the second fort
was erected on the site of the present
Villa Maria Convent and Academy on
the shore of Lake Pepin, near Fronte-
nae. This institution was opened in
1891 and the convent chapel is dedi-
Gated to st. Michael, thus perpetuating
the interesting history of the first
church in which Mass was celebrated
in this State.
The Third Chapel.
From the shores of Lake Pepin the
! historian must go to the most north
ern part of Minnesota in order to visit
the site of the third log church. This
was erected at Fort St. Charles, also
named in honor of Governor Beau
harnois, on the southern shore of a
narrow arm of the Lake of the Woods
J It was erected in August, 1892, by the
Sieur de la Verendrye, who had left
Montreal the preceding year in the
i, hope of discovering the long-sought
J passage to the western sea- On his

the Lake Of the Woods in the extreme
northern part of Reltrami County in
Minnesota. This peninsula projects
into the Lake of the Woods beyond the
forty-ninth degree of latitude, the
boundary line between Canada and the
United States west of the Lake of the
Woods. The treaty makers of 1928
who mapped out this portion of the
dividing line between the two coun-
tries wanted to include within Ameri-
can territory the sources of the Mis-
sissippi River, which they thought ex-
tended much farther north than they
really do. To this erroneous impress
sion must be attributed the fact that
the site of old Fort Charles is on
Minnesota soil, and that the rude
chapel within it's enclosure must be re-
garded as the third church in the
State.
The Fourth Chapel.
The history of the fourth log church
in Minnesota Is more generally known
than that of it's predecessors. There are
among us those who not only saw the
log chapel of st. Paul, but worshipped
before it's altar. 1t was erected on the
bluff overlooking the Mississippi on
what was known in later years as
Bench Street Hill and near what is
now Catholic Block on Third Street be-
tween Cedar and Minnesota. The
chanel was huilt hv tho Row T,Tfcien
Galtier in 1841 to accommodate a
number of his Pensioners who had
been forced to move from the vicinity
of Fort Smelling to what is now the
site of the City of st. Paul. On No
vember 1 of that year Father Ga1tier
dedicated the newly-erected chapel to
the services of God and placed it
under the patronage of st. Paul, the
Apostle of the Gentiles. From this

MORE DIAMONDS IN BRAZIL
Excitement Caused BY New Discovery
Of Great Field in the State
Of Goyaz.

Newspapers Just received from Rio
de Janeiro show symptoms Of excite
ment over reports of the recent dis
covery of great diamond field in
the state Of Goyaz, republic Of Bra
I'll, In little stream called the Gar

Araguaya, which flows north toward
the Amazon. The state Of Goyaz Is

and lies near the center of Brazil. It
is wild and thinly settled region.
the scant population about the dia-
mond fields being composed Of In
dians.
The news of this find has already, It
is said, brought to the diamond coun-
try thousand eager "garimpeiros"
diamond hunters). The first finds
in the field indicate that the stream
Of Garcas contains prodigious riches
which may be secured without ex-
treme labor. The exact location and
course Of this stream are scarcely
known. as it appears on few maps.
The states that are even within three
or four hundred miles Of the field
are now interested in exploring their
own rivers in the hope of finding like
diamond deposits.

But In Her Case

Woman's wit readily adapts itself
to all places and all occasions. A
woman lecturer was delivering a
practical talk on beauty and the
beauty cult for the entertainment Of
the Woman's Professional league of
New York at an interesting session
one afternoon.
In the course of her lecture the
speaker emphasized the point that cer-
tain measurements were fundamental.
ly important. Unhappily, however,
the lecturer herself had a form-if
her unusual bulk could be dignified by
such a term-that was fashioned on
anything but the lines of the Keller
mann type.
Proceeding with her dissertation on
measurements, she held up very fat,
round wrist, and said: Nov, twice
around my wrist, once around my
throat. Twice around my throat, once
around my waist. Twice around my
waist"
Once around Central Park!" ex-
ploded an irrepressible young thing
out in the audience, and the storm of
laughter that followed was altogether
immeasurable.-Sunday Magazine.

Something Missing.

Life guards at Jersey seaside re-

that happened there last summer. A
German, with his boy OF ten, was
standing at the rail of one of the piers.
quite at the end thereof, when sudden
ly the youngster toppled through into
the water As no life guards were out
that far at the tine well dressed
young collegian on the pier, without
waiting to diyest himself OF shoes or
clothing, jumped in and after battling
with the waves for some minutes got
the half.drowned boy to the beach. In
the meantime the father had FASTENED
from the pier
The parent, however, bore himself
with great coolness, As the rescuer
placed the dripping lad at his parents
feet, the German calmly Inquired:

BROUGHT DOWN TWO VICTIMS
But the Deer Hunter Got Surprise Of
His LIfe When He Exam
ined Them.

One Of the best hunting stories OF
the season comes from northern Wis
consin. where a prominent resident
OF Phillips, accompanied by friend.
slipped out of town one evening two
days in advance OF the legal opening
day OF the season for killing deer.
His object was to hunt deer at night
by the air of strong reflector dark
lantern. He succeeded in a way far
beyond his most optimistic hopes in
killing something. but his overwhelm-
ing surprise on first viewing the
game" may be better imagined than
written, and his language was horrid.
He drove his own team Of horses,
valued at 5000, and some distance
from town he turned into an aban-
doned logging road. traversing 1t for
several miles. Then he tied up the
team and prowled about in the woods
for half an hour with his light.
Suddenly he heard snort, and the
light revealed pair Of glaring eyes
from some animal a short distance
away. In his excitement he handed
the light to his friend and banged at
the eyes. Down tumbled the animal,
and instantly there was commotion
in the same spot, and the light re-
vealed another pair Of glaring eyes.
The hunter quickly fired and the Sec
ond animal dropped.
The hunters rushed forward with
their light, and to their dismay found
that both their horses were shot and
killed. They had circled about and
confronted the team In their ram
blings.
