FATHER HOLSTERS HARD AT
WORK.


Father Koesters. s. v. D., is well
known in the United States through
the long visit he paid us two years
ago.
He is now in the Shantung mission,
China. He says in a letter:
Our mission in South Shantung is
of comparatively recent date and
financially unfounded. We are en-
tirely dependent upon American help,
and if by Gods kind providence I had
not brought from America a good
amount, we would already have had
to give up our whole mission work.
Now we are enabled to keep up at
least our main Institutes and propa-
ganda work till now and some further
months, but then we will have greatly
to limit, or even to stop, our whole
mission work, unless American Cath
olics assist. Other missions here in
China, especially those of recent date,
are in the same distress.
Il am myself working in Poll, a
mission center of the northwestern
corner of the Province of Shantung
assisted by two missionaries, one
European and one Chinese. by lay
brother of our Society of the Divine
Word, and six Sisters, Servants of the

THE MIDDLE AGES.

1t is quite refreshing, to say the
least, to find in a book so full OF jun
bled philosophy as Mr.. Vedders last
work, 1.-The Gospel of Jesus and the
Problems of Democracy a compli-
mentary reference to the Middle Ages
and to the social conditions existing
at that time. This is what is said
in a few brief words: 'The despised
Middle Ages were, in many respects,
marked by a social justice superior
to our own. Society then tried to pre-
vent unfair competition, to give every
man chance in his own rank. Rising
capitalism was from the beginning i'm
patient of all such restraints, and in
sisted that they should be removed, so
that competition might be made free
and every man find his level. 1t prov
ed strong enough to carry its point;
restraints were removed; competition
was without limit. What followed?
We have but to look about us and see. .
New York, 1914, p. 72.)
But it was not alone in social justice
and the practice of its kindred virtue,
charity, that the Middle Ages excelled.
James Russell Lowell, the noted
American essayist, tells us of some of
the other things in which the Middle
Ages were supreme. Il am not
ashamed to confess" he writes in his
"Fireside Travels" "a singular sym.
pathy with what are known as the
Middle Ages. l cannot help thinking
that few periods have left behind them
such traces of inventiveness and
power. Nothing is more tiresome
than the sameness of modern cities;
and it has often struck me that this

with rushes, while the physicians
carriage waited long outside, says a
writer in 1.-THE Leader"
In the hushed chamber Mrs. Alli-
son LAY still with closed eyes. Doc
tor and nurse bent over her in anx-
sieus ministration, but the expression
of the wan features never altered,
and, beyond a faint monosyllable,
elected with difficulty in reply to a
question, no words, came from the
pallid lips. The watchers exchanged
significant glances.
II will be back in an hour" said
the doctor, glancing at his watch.
AS he stepped into the hall a wait
ing figure came forward to meet him.
How is she now, doctor?"
The doctor shook his head.
shall we go into the next room,
Mr.. Allison?" said he. Il will speak
with freedom there"
The two man sat down facing each
other, Mr.. Allison grasping the arms
of the chair as if to steady himself.
The lines of his strong, masterful
face were drawn, and drops stood on
his forehead.
May | venture to ask you deli
cate question, Mr.. Allison?" said the
physician. Can it be that some
secret grief or anxiety is preying on
your wife's mind?"
Secret grief-anxiety? Certainly
not! My dear doctor, how could you
imagine such a thing?"
II beg pardon, Mr. Allison. 1t &C.
CURED to me only as the remotest
possibility. The facts of the case are
these: The force of Mrs. Allisons
Idisease is broken, and she is abso-
lutely without fever. Yet she shows
no sign of rallying. On the contrary,
she constantly grows weaker. 1t is
| impossible to arouse her. There
seems to be not only no physical
response to the remedies employed,
but she apparently lacks even the
slightest interest in anything, includ-
ing her recovery. Unless this con-
pears altogether unlikely can no
longer offer any hope. The patient is
evidently drifting away from us,
while we stand powerless to hold her
back"
Mr.. Allison groaned aloud and laid
his face in his hands. The physician
arose, and after few sympathetic
expressions, left him alone.
Meanwhile in the sick room the
nurse busted herself with conscien-
tious care about her charge. There
was no perceptible movement in the
outlines of the quiet form lying upon
the bed, and the skilled watcher had
no suspicion that behind the shut
eyelids and apathetic features mind
and spirit were still active.

INDIAN SCHOOL HEAD TELLS OF
= PIONEER DAYS.
Rev. Father Wales, of Fort Francis In
dian Mission, Speaks of Early
Times on Border.

Rev. Father Wales, in charge of the
Indian school at Fort Francis and of
the Catholic mission, who has been a
missionary among the Indians of the
Northwest for % years, came to Amer
lea from France.
Father Wales preceded civilization
in the Northwest and % years ago
first located at Fort Francis, Just
across the boundary from Inter1la-
tional Falls. At that time Fort
Francis was a wilderness accessible
in the winter time only by dog teams
and in the summer by boat. After
a few years, however, civilization
found it's way to that settlement, but
not before Father Wales was trans
feFred to a mission as far into the
wilderness as Fort Francis was stu
ated when he came there.
Several times Father Wales was
transferred because of the press of
civilization. The last time, before he
was stationed at Fort Francis, he had
charge of the mission about Lake
Winnipeg. The territory that COM
prised the mission is still inaccessible
by railroad. 1t is IS miles to the
nearest railroad.
I'm the winter we travelled with dog
teams and in the summer by boat"
Father Wales said in describing life
there. Lake Winnipeg is veritable
sea. 1t is 80 miles long in places and
more than 80 miles wide. Occasional
ly steamboat would appear on the
lake.. but not frequently. Until four
years ago was stationed there
Father Wales was at one time sta
toned at the Fort Benton reserva-
ton, on which there were about 1000
Red Men. He says that until the time
that the white people arrived in the
country the Indians were easily held
in check, but that when 'ffre-water"
was introduced trouble began.
School Is Crowded.
The school is crowded, there are As
girls and 26 boys. They are divided
into two classes and taught English
and elementary subjects. Father Wales
finds them very bright as race. One
fault of the educated Indian, accord
ing to Father Wales, is that at times
they get exalted opinions of them
selves and consider themselves better
even, than white persons. On the
other hand, some of them realize that
the white man is their superior and,
being very proud, prefer to return to
a reservation and resume their former
existence.
Government Gives Little Aid.
The government gives aid to the
school in the sum of IS per capita for
each month. With this eight dollars,
food, clothing and the cost of educat-
ing the children must be paid. This is
the chief means of support. A farm
run under the management of the
mission. is another chief source of in
come to the school On the farm,
Father Wales depends for his veget-
ables and garden truck A crop fail
ure at this time would prove very
disastrous, he says, as the cost of food
stuffs is way up in Canada, result of
the war. Eggs, he says, are selling
for 35 cents a dozen, flour is almost
beyond reach and other necessities of
life have risen considerably in price.
The Indians on the Fort Francis
reservation are a branch of the Chip
pewa tribe, known as the Soteaux
the same as are in the Vermilion
Range district.

not to mind it. 1t must be so, I sup
pose, as boys grow into men. 1t will
be hard for their father, but he is so
driven at the office especially since
he went into politics-that he can't
have time to mourn as he would have
mourned years ago, when we were
