DEVELOPMENT OF THE SIOUX
3 NATION.

The April issue of the Indian Sen
tinel is devoted to one of the most
numerous, interesting and remarkable
of Indian tribes, the Dakota or Sioux.
For fierceness in battle, the Dakota
probably have been surpassed only by
the Iroquois The Sioux war and the
Minnesota Massacre are still compare
lively fresh in the minds of the peo-
pie of the Northwest. The battle OF
the Little Big Horn, which resulted in
the humiliation of Clusters command,
was the most remarkable of their vic
tories.
The Sioux are endowed with splen-
did physique and mental equipment
Forty years ago they were classed as
savages; they were scalping their enc
ton of savage life. Today practically
all OF them have adopted the white
mans dress, manners and mode of
life. Large numbers have been Chris
tianized and, more than any other In
dams, they are imbued with the mis-
sionary spirit. Protestant organiZa-
tons have a number of ordained min
listers from among them and Instruc-
tors whom they call helpers. The
Catholic missionaries have formed
bands of catechists who, by their zeal
and fidelity, not only are rapidly bring
ing the non-Catholic and non-Christian
Sioux into the Catholic Church, but
several of them have gone as mission
aries to other tribes, and in this par
ticular work they are more reliable
and more effective than any other In
dams.
A wonderful change within forty
years! History does not record any
thing equal to it. No nation has ever
made such rapid strides in Christian
ity and evangelization as has the
Sioux Nation.
This phenomenal transformation
has been possible because of the in
herent qualities of the Sioux people
and the wise course of Government Of
ficials who, from the start, refused to
permit any customs which would tend
to perpetuate pagan ideals. If the
Government had pursued the same
policy in it's dealings with other tribes
the Indian of today would be far ahead
of what he is.
The chief element, however, in the
Transforming of the Sioux Indian has
been the splendid policy and the he
roic zeal of the missionaries who car
ried their work on in the schools and
in the camps, determined that the
Gospel of Jesus Christ should be
thoroughly expounded to every indi
yidual. The missionaries demanded OF
t the Sioux who accepted Christianity a
complete sacrifice of pagan customs
songs, dances, of Indian dress and OF
anything that tended to retard their
onward progress.
In our country no band of missiona
ries he's met with more success, has

THE WONDERFUL PAWPAW.

A fruit much used, and with reason,
in Central Africa is the pawpaw. In
African Missions we learn something
of this article Of diet:
The pawpaw is the favorite food Of
the islanders of the Hawaii Archipel-
ago (Oceania), and was brought 10
Uganda by early missionaries.
When green its fruit may be cooked
like the ordinary pumpkin or gourd Of
Europe.
Ripe, it is eaten in its natural state.
1t is sliced through the middle, like a
melon. The seeds are taken out, with
the thin skin that holds them togeth-
err; the pulp is eaten with a spoon,
and is sprinkled with lemon juice or
salt or pepper, according to taste.
The pawpaw is not only edible, the
plant possesses curative properties in
addition, and is really a marvellous
pharmacopedia in itself.
The roots are said to have the pow
er Of stimulating the nervous system.
The milky fluid of the tree is efiiCa-
cious in the treatment OF eczema and
or warts, II VIII even destroy the 1alSc
| membranes which suffOCate the dip
| thereto sufferer.
The leaves will make the toughest
venison more tender. The juice eX-
pressed from the fruit gives the same
| result. 1t likewise removes spots from
clothing.
The pulp acts as The best of salVes.
A slice of the fresh fruit applied 10
| the skin will cause freckles to vanish.
! The seeds are q Vermifuge.
The syrup of the paWpaw is at the
same time a sedative and tonic.
The advantageous qualities Of this
plant are due, it appears, TO a very
active principle, papaine, found in the
sap.

from paganism. The children seemed,
indeed, to grasp this idea and there
was but little begging from their par
ents They had tasted the sweets Of
sacrifice, and were relishing its flavor.
Now, at the dawn of Easter, every
grade in the school rejoiced in its
record. For the net result Of their
savings were: Seven babies named
and sponsored, with several more in
prospect, number CT highly priced
letters from the diocesan Director of
the Holy Childhood Association, and
the growing hope that every boy and
girl in the school may soon be a regu-
lar member of the worldwide Organi-
Zation which counts by the millions
it's rescued children on earth and its
holy innocents in Heaven.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
MISTRESS OF ARTS.

The Girls World suggests fifteen
things which every girl can learn be-
fore she is fifteen. Not everyone can
learn to play or sing or paint well
enough to give pleasure to her
friends, but the following accom-
plishments" are within every girls
reach:
Never fuss or fret Or fidget.
Never keep anybody waiting.
Shut the door softly
Have an hour for rising, and rise.
Always know where your things
are.
Learn to make bread, as well as
cake
Keep your own room in tasteful Or
der.
a collar.
Never go about with your shoes un-
buttoned
Never let button stay off twenty
four hours.
Speak clearly enough for every
body to understand
Be patient with the little ones, as
you wish your mother to be with you
Never let the day pass without do
ing something to make somebody
comfortable.
The girl who thoroughly learned al
this might be called a mistress OF
arts

SPIRIT OF SELF-DENiAL AT WORK
IN A SCHOOL.

The children of the Incarnation
School, Minneapolis, have shown a
beautiful spirit of zeal and self-denial
during the Lenten season just closed.
When, at the beginning of Lent, there
was read in the church, the letter on
behalf of the missions, from the Very
Reverend James C. Byrne, then ad-
ministrator of the Archdiocese, the
children of the school became eager
to do something worth while. One
of the Dominican Sisters teaching in
the school, in trying to foster the true
Lenten spirit of selfdenial, suggest
ed to her little pupils that they save
some of their pocket money to help
the missionary priests and Sisters of
China save babies from the streets
and rivers to which they are often
abandoned.
When informed that $500 would
enable the missionaries to support
, such a babe for a whole year, the
children were fascinated by the idea
Of doing SO much good, yet disturbed
at the amount involved; for five dol
lars meant five hundred pennies.
When further told, however, that their
five dollars would entitle them to the
privilege of naming the baby thus
| rescued, choosing godfather and
god-mother from among themselves,
they became hopeful with enthusiasm.
The romance of mystic tie binding
them in spiritual relationship to a
child in far away China soon smoth-
cred all doubts and their pennies and
nickles began pouring in upon the
Sister with bewildering rapidity
The fire of zeal thus kindled quick
~ spread from room to room until it
became veritable conflagration. The
Sisters, who at first wisely fostered
a healthy rivalry among the different
grades, soon found that they had only
to direct an enthusiasm which might
easily become excessive. The chill
dren were constantly reminded that it
is the money given as the fruit of
| their own self-denial which brings the
richest blessings to themselves, to the
missionaries and to the souls rescued

women who are to be found in all of
our Christian churches and who have
learned in the school of Christ to min
gle culture with restraint.
The consul and the emperor and
the pontiff with all their well known
characteristics are one theme: the
Latin race, with it's matchless vigor
its tremendous energy and its unSur-
passed genius for organization, that
ceased to manifest themselves on the
worlds stage except through the
Christian Church, is another. That
Latin race with all it's wondrou gifts,
was not eXterminated when the city
Of the seven hills became a mass of
blood stained ruins. 1t survived and
supplied to the church the greatest of
leaders, and it still lives, because it
had appropriated as much as it was
able of the heritage that Greece dying
without natural heirs had left to the
world, and was also likewise willing
to employ that gift of God to man
which the Hebrews of Palestine had
for the most part rejected.
The preacher then pictured the
three forces in the world just prior
to the time when the Church entered
largely upon its heritage. These
were the Roman empire, the Christian
organization and the barbarian peo-
pies. He recounted how Pope Leo
| in the year ASP went out armed with
none but spiritual weapons to meet
| the terrible Attila and actually turned
/ him back in the full tide of victory,
and three years later again forced the
| Vandal rabble to grant modification
| of the terms to the people of the land
The point of all this surely is, said
| DR.. Morrison, "the Latin race had been
| conquered, but the Latin civilization,
which had now become the Latin
Church, was unimpaired in its vision
and tremendous in it's might
| With the fall of the empire the
| representative Of Caesar had lost his
authority, but not so the minister of
Christ His King had not been con.
quered nor could be, and still amid
| the ruins of ancient Rome we see him
| standing, august, austere, unafraid
the ambassador of Jesus Christ.
DR.. Morrison was particularly happy
in his splendid sketch of the great
philanthropic work of the Latin
| Church.
| After referring to the work done in
st. John for orphans such as is in no
manner equalled by any or by all OF
the Protestant churches, DR.. Morrison
gave a brief but memorable sketch of
the life and works of such men as
Ignatius Loyola, Francis Xavier, ST
Vincent de Paul, Father Damien and
his leper colony at Molokai.

SHEEP BONE ONLY TOY OF
SMALL ORlENTALS.

Without the bone, Of a sheep, that
eternal, ubiquitous playtoy of all the
East the children of Asia would be
absolutely without an amusement de-
vice. That is the solemn conclusion
of Achmed Abdullah in "A Little
Brown Girl Child" in the May num-
Der of the Red Cross Magazine.
Otherwise your small Oriental is not
nOticeably different from our own
youngsters in his or her main bust
ness of life-play He finds zest in
playing Cowboy and Indian even
though the punchers wear such names
as Mohammed or Moustaffa, and the
cowgirls and squaws are the desert
bred hoydens, Aziza and Ayesha, who
with indigo tattoo marks on forehead
and nostrils take a CORY and decidedly
unladylike part in the proceedings,
particularly the scalping process, per-
formed with the bone of sheep.
What would Oriental childhood do
without a knuckle-bone from that mod
est ruminant quadruped?' demands
the writer. Go wherever children
play-Osmanlis or Kurds, Armenians
or Arabs, Druses or Greeks-and you
will see that the sheep bone repre-
sents everything from doll to a
sword, from a Pascha's horsetail or
namented shelltree to a British gun
boat, from a mosque to church"

been more constant or interchangeable
than those Jealous priests-Benedic-
tines, Jesuits and seculars-who car
ried the Gospel to the Sioux. Today
the Dakota country is dotted over with
churches and chapels and there are a
number of schools under Christian
auspices from which the children
emerge good citizens and good Chris.
tians In fact, st. Francis School, al
Rosebud, and Holy Rosary School, at
Pine Ridge, are unsurpassed and I'm
equalled if we consider the number of
children in attendance; the permanent
cy and capacity of the buildings; the
stern discipline enforced, and the hard
work done by the priests, the broth
ers, the scholastics, and the Sisters
who carry on these institutions.

THE SILENCE OF PEACE.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
DR.. James Henderson,

Give us the silence of peace and the
stir
But of breeZes meandering at even;
the whirr
Of the wings of some insect full fleet,
The rustic Of winds passing over the
wheat,
The dying of echoes, full spent on the
hill,
The chirup of a cricket beneath the
old sill,
The rune of the brooklet, it's far away
song,
The low splash of ripples as wends
it along
Down pastures, by lanes till the dying
refrain
Is sweet as the dream of the soft, fall
ing rain,
And, Wen tell you of loves the world
has not known,
The themes Of rare hearts that are
deep as our own;
That yearn for life's joy with pas
Of faith and of constancy--Ah that
we will!
Give us the silence of peace and the
star
To lead thro still nights-let it be
our Navarro
To follow in dreams, that We wake
from our rest
Nor bugle nor drum doth the hours
infest;
No blatant, weird calls, no booming
of guns,
Just the soft windblown field that 81
billowy runs.
Give us the silence, the rest and the
calm
And life shall run on like welcoming
psalm,
And hearts shall grow tender, driet
be the tears
AS facing the vision of betterins
years.
The mother will fondle the baby t.
sleep
Not fearing some day on wars fielt
he may keep
Deep nursed fierce hate in his in
nocent breast
| Against some strange brother from
East or from West.
Give us the silence of peace and, tn
wings
| Of our fancy shall bear us to beautiful
| things.

a HANDFUL OF DUST.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Or. James Henderson,

A handful of dust on the ocean was
cast,
1t rolled into fathomless spaces and
vast,
Was tost on the wave and was merged
in the sea
To mother some flower on a far dis
tant lea;
To gather and hearten some pestilent
weed
And scatter in time a malevolent seed.
Oh, handful of dust from the elements
swaged,
The chaos of spheres-a cosmos high
PACED,
To cling to the sceptre, to fall on the
sword
And gather as rust fore the breath
of the Lord!
A handful of dust, in day far and
gone,
By hand that is dust now, the bill
lows cast on,
And the grasses have withered long
years on the grave
And the Blood of his line has been
gallant apd brave;
The youth and the aged have stopped
DER to pray
A handful Of dust, ah. where is it
today?
A handful of dust from the litter and
CRIME
Of streets where have mingled both
virtue and crime;
OF fields that are swept by the breath
Of the wind,
Of valleys that sleep rugged noun
tains behind;
The vomit of geysers, the thunder
and blast
Of burning VOLCANOES for aeons held
fast,
And, the breath of the tempest, the
sweep of the sea
Are brought from the ages and
chained within me,
And l joy and | pray, and l dance OF
l sing
Till the day when my spirit shall soal
and on wing;
Then crumbling earth shall receive
oh it must,
The thing l had dwelt ina handful
of dust!

1t is told of DR.. Oliver Wendell

Journal, that he was one day stroll

home when he began chatting with a
little girl who was playing in the sand.
The child soon slipped her hand in his

Others who lose a child
Cherish it's ways and words,
And try with patient love
To keep their souls like windows un-

Lest they should miss above

Drives me through many lands,
And yet it is not dear,

ONE OF THE AMBULANCE SQUAD.
(An Incident of No Mans Land.)

The morning was cold and dreary
And the gray mist hanging low,
When the volunteers, low in the
trenches,
Fought the fierce and fiendish foe
Side by side they struggled bravely
Mid the steel-clad missile rain
Mid the terrible thud of bursting
shell,
And the piteous moan of pain.
Since the break of early morning
When Aurora purpled the East,
The deadly combat has reigned SUI
preme
Like Skeleton at the Feast"
When twilight's somber shadows
blended,
Gods plying angels wept again
And kindly drew nights curtains down
In mercy above the wounded-slain
The war-scarred vet and the moth

Many manly form laid low;
Manhood's royal prime-youth's brief
joy!

There, Just across the battle line,
But not beyond dread dangers zone,
The Red Cross corps-Oh, blest re-

Like Gods white-robed angels come.
Silent, prompt and fleet they work,
Without a thought of gold or pelf-
When duty calls they answer clear
1--WE do for common good-not self. .
The brave and sturdy boys move on
AS wounded forms they kindly bear
To seek relief at First Aid line
Then prompt return and know not

Thus, to and fro, they quickly glide,
These burden bearers-young and

With steady voice they spoke the
