OF A GREAT
AND FAMOUS BAND,
The Discoverer Of Yellowstone Park,
Father kuppens, Still Active at the
Advanced Age Of rs Years.


suit of exposure during his pioneer.
ing in the Rocky Mountains and his
6 feet 6 shortened with a stoop, Rev.
Francis x. Kuppens, s. j., rs years old,
is the last survivor of the renowned
Father De Smet's band of mission
aries.
A few old-time friends are person
ally familiar with the vivid and ro-
mantle story of the priests life and
appreciate his marvellous contribution
to the Church in the West and to the
country at large-for it was this priest
who discovered the Yellowstone Park
and first suggested making it ma
tional park.
Though Father Kuppens has been
practically confined to his room in
the novitiate for the last ten years
and recently has been unable to
come downstairs, his mind is still
keen and can travel with seven
league boots over every foot of the
Rocky Mountains district and can
locate its streams and lakes and
towns.
He has driven wild bronchos,
quelled the fierce quarrels of the gold
lusted miners, ridden on RATS down
the Mississippi, built churches with
logs cut by his own powerful hands,
in order to give the sacraments of
the Church to all, and now he must
live within four walls, If it were not
that his mind is unconfinable.
Father Kuppens is one of the ia.
nous band of Belgian priests who
were noted for their missionary la.
bors. They were called "Flemmings'
and seemed to be immune from physi
cal hardships. They were men OF
powerful physique and endurance. In
1866 he went to the Rocky Mountains
He went by the way of Panama and
took colony of nuns, Sisters of Provi
dence. They went up the Columbia
river to the st. Ignatius mission
There was founded what is now the
largest Catholic school in America.
From there he was sent to St
Peters mission on the Sun river tc
minister to the Blackfoot Indians
known as the Piegans, and also tc
the white miners who were prospect
ing in that territory. With another
priest he reached Silver City October
30 and stopped at Jake Smiths s
son-in-law of Bill Kelser, where Faith
er Kuppens had night prayers in Eng
fish, while his companion conducted
the same service in the Indian Ian
guage.
About Christmas Father Kuppens
revisited Silver Greek, and there
about mile and a half above the
town, selected spot for church, hi
himself hauling in the first log for thu
building. Shortly afterward miners
stampede occurred, and Silver Creel
was almost deserted for while. The
little church was Jumped" and occu
pied by some non-C Catholic people. TIL,
miners returned and with revolver
and rifles were about to dislodge tn.
intruders. Father Kuppens arrived
post haste and settled the difficult,
peacefully.

Short Acquaintance.

As an instance of the marrying in haste" principle that obtains in some United States cities, an Eng fish lady visiting Chicago relates how her maid, who accompanied her, quickly became imbued with the de sire to become Mrs. Somebody.
 One morning she appeared before her mistress, and, with glowing eyes, announced that she had named the day and would become wife at the end of the week.
 Are you going back home, then 2" the lady asked.
 "Oh, no, Ma'am; it's an American gentleman" replied the maid.
 But, remonstrated her mistress, we've only been here a fortnight" "
 That's no matter. He wants the wedding to be on Saturday."
 "Well, can't you get him to post pone the marriage just little till can get another maid ?"
 "Well, ma lam, I'd like to oblige you, but don't feel we'll enough acquaint- ed to ask him to do that"
