***Vlk /"HITE BEAVER," better
known in the twin cities
as Dr. D. Frank Powell,
jiyho died suddenly of heart disease on
a train east-bound from Los Angeles
t!a few days ago, won fame as an
s..Indian fighter, yet had iif* his own
veins a strong strain of Indian blood.
The general impression has been that
this was inherited from plains Indians.
But such is not the case. His Indian
blood was inherited from his mother,
rwho was a half-blood of the Beaver
....'clan of the Seneca tribe, New York,
her father having been a medicine
"chief.
t'" The little that is known of the mar
riage of this Indian girl to Powell's

woods, and accounts in a measure for
S tho chivalry always exhibited by Dr.
Powell. The Indian maiden and 'her

hunting expedition
in New York when they were met.
by C.: H.. Powell,,, of .Scottish.. .high-.
I land, descent, who was making a sur-
.$ vey of the- region being hunted over
a by the Indians. After the marriage
the girl and her Scotch lover went to
southern Kentucky, where Frank was
'i *Jorn. Authentic reports say that the
4 mother of die boy was a woman of
1 tare charm and far more than usual
p,bility.
Inherited Characteristics.
I His father was a man of unusual at-
i$ tainments, being a physician of high
I skill and having at his command sev
I eral languages. Both the father and
1 mother were evidently persons of un
2 usual physical and mental ability, char
I acteristics which were inherited by the
son, who was 6 feet 2 inches tall,
broad and muscular, and possessed a
4t mind of quick receptivity and extraor
dinary retentiveness and alertness.
4 It was the above characteristics that
fitted him for a life on the plains when
to live such a life meant that one was
of the fittest, the kind who survive.
Seven years after Frank was born,
and following the birth of two brothers,
the father died, whereupon the mother
arid her family moved back to New
York. "But they did not remain long,
removing to Chicago, where Frank,
who had shown a bent for medicine,
entered the employ of a druggist.
From Chicago the family went to
Omaha, where again Frank entered
the drug business. While living in
Omaha it was the custom of Frank to
visit his brother on a ranch for hunt
ing excursions. On such expeditions
brushes with the Indians were not un
common, and it was in these that the
future scout got his first taste of
blood and his first knowledge of In
dian warfare.
An Early Indian Fight.
I was in one of Frank's early In-
,25tian' fights that he showed the bravery
tthat made him famous. It was on the
Sweetwater that a little party of a
jdozen were attacked by a hundred In
dians. The whites fled to a Buffalo wal
low, and made a stand. Their horses
were shot down and they used their
bodies for barricade. The whites were
better armed than the Indians and by
&tMStetafc!$8iMt$!a8Ul^

Won Medical Education.
It was soon after this fight that
Frank, tho with little education be
yond that picked up in his home and
by private study, entered a competitive
examination for a scholarship in Louis
ville university, and carried off the hon
ors. It was on the/strength of this that
he was able to obtain a medical educa
tion. Before he was graduated he was
made assistant demonstrator in anatomy
and upon his graduation as valedictor
ian of his claBS, he was pressed to take
a professorship, but declined In order
to accept the position of post surgeon

requests" tte to write
a few lines to We children ot Minneapolis who
have recently joined ouy Bands of Mercy, and
it gives me gre4t pleasure to do so.
We have recently had a "Band of Mercy
Day" in all tire great public schools of Bos
ton, endorsed enthusiastically by our governor,
our mayor, and all the masters of our public
schools. I wrote to the children, to be read
in the shcools on that day, that they belonged
to a great army which marches under banners
on which are inscribed "Glory to God, peace
on earth, kindness, justice and mercy to every
living creature," and that it is an army so
large that, If it were marching in single file,
it would reach more than a thousand miles
and that it is an army enlisted not only for
the protection of God's lower creatures, but
for the protection of property and life, and to
insure the continuance of our free republic,
in which every man Is a monarch, every woman
a queen, and every child of even the poorest
parents has a chance to reach the highest hon
ors in the gift ot the nation.
This is precisely what I would like to say,
also, to all the Hands of Mercy in your Minne
apolis schools, and to present to all them my
kindest wishes, that they may all' stand thru
life as valiant soldiers In this great Army of
Mercy. George T. Angell.

of "White Beaver" is in substance as
follows: Eocky Bear, a Sioux, had a
daughter whom he loved much, who was
ill with a fever. The incantations of
the tribal medicine.men only made her
worse. She had become delirious when
Powell happened along:. Learning the

JIM KEY CHILDREN
HEAR FROM ANGELL
The underlying principle of the s.ong
was then discussed.'
Mrs. .Welsh told a number of stories
about birds and animals, the one of th9
''jCalf' Path'' being especially funny
aha pleasing to the children. Mrs.
Welsh explained the strong thought it
contained as illustrating how often
working for the advancement of
humane education' is one convinced of
the tenacity with which people persist
in following the crooked paths. The
most interesting story of the intelli
gence in dumb creatures was that of a
snipe, which, with its beak and feath
ers, made a creditable dressing, apply
ing plasters to its bleeding wounds,
and even securing a broken ""leg by
means of a stout ligature.
The children were encouraged to tell
true stories and also to suggest mottoes
for. their bands.
Mrs. Welsh suggested these two:
"Count that day lost which sees no
kind deed done by you
We speak for those who cannot
speak for themselves."

of Mercy number about 275.' The
children who have joined are vjery en

good work shall be accomplished. The

'f A Shrewd Game.*
The story of the cleverly operated
ime is told by Professor i?righam S.'
ohng, of the faculty of Northern uni
versity, at Ada, Ohio. Professor Young
has a national reputation as an analy
tical chemist .and is frequently called
upon, to make examinations for commer
cial purppses. Recently he was waited
upon by a. wealthy resident of St. Louis,
who carried with him a vessel -contain
ing a liquid of great density and of a
heavy specific gravity. This liquid he
asked- to have analyzed in order that it
might be' reproduced, in large quantities.
"If you succeed in duplicating it,"
said the visitor, ."it will mean a million
dollars tq vou
Such' a fee is not ordinarily received
by 'even the highest-priced chemists and
it whetted the curiosity of the profes
sor, who asked why such jtore was set
upon knowing the ingredients. He was
told that the composition qf the liquid
was a secret that had died with its in
ventor. Two years before the St.
Louis man had been waited upon by a
stranger, who was evidently a for
eigner. He introduced himself as a
Mexican chemist who had been em
ployed for many years in a professional
way by gold miners and refiners.
In this way hev had perfected him
self in metallurgy "and thru a series of
tests had hit upon the liquid as a won
derfully cheap agent ior recovering
gold from "tailings" or-mine refuse.
It was vastly superior 'he. declared, to
all of the processes then in use and
was' cheap beyond- belief. The un
claimed millions in the refuse heaps
about the gold mines of "the -country
could readily be bought and vast for
tunes awaited those lucky enough to
share the "secret. The St. "Louis man
thought, that he was: exercising rare
precaution when he ^refused to accept
the, statement of tha.jMexican as en
tirely, true and insisted upon some pfacr
tical ^demonstration of* the workings-of
