Andrew also built small saloon
and grocery building near the
hotel where as side issue he
sold out the balance of his
groceries and also refreshments
to his thirsty customers who
could drink to the health of
many a passing Tenderfoot.
In 1877 Mr.. Andrew sold the
hotel to Joseph Allen of Yank-

to Swan Lake and with his wife

The first school taught was by
Mrs. G. l.. B. Aurner IN the
summer of 1872 in the Episcopal
church. The second school
taught was by Miss Annie Means
also in the little church in the
summer of 1873. The third
summer school was taught by
Mrs. Aurner in the new school
house in 5he summer of 1874.
Other teachers who taught in
the old school house were Miss
Allen, Miss Watson. Alfred
Flag, John Beebe, DR.. Seifert
and Charles Goddard-F Fry. The
first winter school taught in the
township was taught by Jacob
Christensen, brother of Martin
G. in the winter of 1894. 1t
was in the sod house of Hans
Sorenson, south of where Martin
Christensen now lives. Jacob

The first church organized
was the Baptist and Rev j. j.
McLatyre was the first pastor
followed by Elders Judson and

The Congregational church
was organized the 18th day of

clerk; John Robinson, treasurer;
trustees, s. F.. Andrews, A. A.

The Episcopal church was or
ganized on May 80, 1876. In
1872 DR.. Hoyt of Yankton furn-
ished the lumber which was
hauled from Yankton by w. W..

little church and Vale P. Thiel-
man was the architect and build

ing erected in Turner County.
DIR. Hoyt was a faithful laborer

had great faith in the future OF
Swan Lake and built a fine large
two Story parsonage close by
the church and there was talk
of his starting an Episcopal
school there. Many years OF
his life was spent as a frontier
missionary and no man in the
two Dakotas was better loved
and did more for the betterment
OF mankind than DR.. Hoyt.

did not have the cash to put in a

them. But it was a great con-

they could exchange their eggs

needed things and Mr.. Hill de-

the day of salvation" if they delay
at all it may soon be too late.
The migrants are intelligent and
great readers, and as most of the news
papers contain Protestant teaching,
and as the libraries have mostly Prot
estant books on their shelves, the mis-
sionaries have much to do to keep
them supplied with Catholic literature.
OF course they are too poor to found a
Catholic newspaper themselves, but
they distribute Catholic papers pub
lished in China; they are also trying
to establish reading rooms where
plenty of Catholic books may be had.
The pressing work of the moment,
however, is to establish central mis-
sion at Rangoon, the capital. So far
this has been impossible, as they have
not succeeded in collecting the neces-
sary money to purchase the ground,
for the price of ground at Rangoon is
very high.
They have to content themselves for
the present going about from house to
house speaking to the people of the
Catholic religion and they are making
good progress.

DISTRESS IN CHINA.

Happy the land and the people
whose history is short and uneventful,
for there peace and contentment reign
supreme. The reverse of the picture
is no less true. Heroes are developed
only in trying times and the historian
chronicles only the extraordinary
events that accompany struggle and
suffering and triumph and defeat. And
so, today, the fact that China is so
much in the public eye means, not
that there is peace and contentment
and happiness in the land, but that
there sorrow and sadness are holding
sway.
AS result of the revolution the cost
of living has greatly increased. In
fact, it is three times as high as it
was in the days of the Manchus. This
does not mean, of course, that the new
government will not bring great bles-
sings and happiness to the people
Whether it will or not is for the fu-
ture to tell. 1t should bring them
material prosperity. War, the dis
turbance of the social and political
order, always carries in it's wake pow
erty and distress, and when we add
to war the horrors of cholera, inunda-
tons and famine we can begin to pic
ture to ourselves the state of the
afflicted poor people of China.
Sister Gilbert, who is in charge of
st. Joseph's Hospital in Ningpo, writes
that the conditions of which she is a
daily witness are too horrible to de-
scribe. They are truly heart-rending.
Her hospital has become the refuge for
all the surrounding country. The sick
and the starving literally swarm to
her every day. ooh the pity of it, as
the poor people clamor for a grain
of rice. No artist could paint the
picture of misery presented by these
haggard faces and wasted and de-
formed bodies" The Sisters have
done all they could, during the trying
days of the past year, but they can do
no more. Their hospital is crowded
to the doors, and there is not room for
single patient more; they have given
their rice sparingly, giving just enough
to each person to keep soul and body
together, yet, in spite of their frugal
ity, the rice has at last given out.
Despair is settling, dark and gloomy,
over the people. The streets are filled
with the starving, the dying, the aban-
doned infants The Sisters are bring
ing in the children as fast as they can
find them, but they cannot save their
lives without food. 1t is the last ap-
peal for many. Help, if it does not
come soon, will come too late.

This is only picture, nevertheless
it is the exact copy Of what is taking
place every day in the missions of the
South where the Negro children gather
round the Sisters to hear Gods word

are too many pitfalls around to tempt
the children away by temporal ad-

CATHOLIC CHINESE IN RuRMAH

The Chinese mission in Burmah bids
fair to become one of the most i'm
portant of all the Chinese missions.
His Eminence Cardinal Merry Del Val

Burmah has become center of Chi

rule are of an industrious, persevering
class and well acquainted with Eu-

ANOTHER GOOD WORD FOR

From FIR. Joseph Birraux, P. F. M,
laboring in the apostolic field of Tsu,
Japan, comes another testimonial in
favor of native catechists.
These helpers are indispensable to
our missionary work. They not only
assist in converting the pagans, but
they interest themselves in the newly
made Christians, augmenting their
faith and zeal.
"Catechists here, cost me about
twenty dollars month. Half of this
is supplied by the mission, the other
