about to leave for California. Wait
ing until all the others had hidden

In Mission Work
As a boy.’ Dr. Ashley came to Midi |

trade of carpenter. But the mission
field attracted him. and within a few
months he was on ills way to the Du
kotas where,he entered service under
the late Bishop flare, in the ensuing
fifty years his life was spent among
the Indians, counselling and advising
them, acting as intermediary for them
in their relations with the govern
ment at Washington, serving on their
tribal councils, ministering to them
when they were ill, acting as peace
maker, drilling them in the ways of
civilization. He lias been the per
sonal friend ami confidant of such
noted chiefs as White Bear, Had
Lodge, Drifting Goose, Rain-in the
Face, Sitting Bull, Dull Knifp. Gaul
and others. He jins mastered half
a dozen Indian dialects, and for his
services in preserving the language
of the Yanktons, Sissetons and other
tribes of the Sioux nation he lias re
ceived the degree of LL.D from the
University of Soutli Dakota.
