is compelled to fast for four days and nights
without food or drink out in some lonely

A REVIVAL AT CROW.


Commissioner Sells, unannouced, arrived
at Grow Agency on October 6. During his
visit he gave the entire reservation most
comprehensive survey. He rode, at the
very least, five hundred niles in all darec-
tions. examining schools, calling upon the
missionaries, inspecting the irrigation work
and the cattle industry, visiting Indian
homes, meeting the Indians in council, talk
inc with them individually and listening al
wavs with the utmost Difference and pa
thence to their wishes or complaints. In
nearly all Of his trips he was entirely un
accompanied except by driver Nothing
escaped his eye, and he asked in formation of
everyone with whom he came incontact, no
matter how humble: As consequence,
there is probably no one more generally ia
miliar with conditions on the reservation
than the Commissioner himself
The results of his visit are already ap-
parent. It is not merely in material i'm
provement already under way, but in that
indefnable gain in spirit, in stamina and
purpose. He has talked With force and di-
rectness to the Indians, making them feel
that they have a Sure and sympathetic
friend, bptstfat friendship means mutual
confidence and obligations that he intends
to<do his part, but they also have part to
hrform To employees he has made it
clear in wisely chosen words that he has
nd sympathy with the selfish equation in
their work, and that the ideals he wishes
to have dominate are those of patience and
corporations, efficiency and sympathetic
service. A broader spirit Of llelpfulness to-
wards the Indian himself, constructive and
vitalizing, characterizes the Commissioners
Attitude; it is the human side of the prob
lem which appeals to him.
