| 23270 | And was there not a heavy fall of snow followed by a blizzard, which as you had no trail through the deep snow, made it very difficult travelling? |
| 23270 | And were your dog- sleds not heavily loaded? |
| 23270 | Any more? |
| 23270 | How do you make that out? |
| 23270 | My dear,I would say,"what are you going to do to- day?" |
| 23270 | What were my words? |
| 23270 | Yes,he replied,"what right have I to ask such a favour from you who have been so kind to me? |
| 23270 | A great Indian council would be held at which, as a mere formality, the question would be first asked:"Are we to have the great feast this year?" |
| 23270 | Addressing him, I said:"Why are you lying here this beautiful day?" |
| 23270 | After a little further conversation, I said:"Tell me, Robert, why did you act so selfishly toward your wife and daughters?" |
| 23270 | After their brief discussion, one of them sprang up, and looking at me asked:"Missionary, may I say something?" |
| 23270 | And does he not consider it a joy to be the carrier of such a bundle, with such a loving message, to the aged and feeble Ookoominou? |
| 23270 | And then, is he not a Christian? |
| 23270 | First, he began by asking me a few questions:"Did you make a trip with your guide and dog drivers to Burntwood River last winter?" |
| 23270 | Give an Indian a good knife and a horn or wooden spoon-- and what cares he for a fork? |
| 23270 | He told of that afternoon in the church, when, in response to the invitation:"Who will give his heart to God to- day?" |
| 23270 | How thankful we were at this glad hour of his clear and beautiful conversion, that we had persevered? |
| 23270 | I am afraid we can not keep them together unless-- unless--""Unless what?" |
| 23270 | In answer to his question I replied:"Why Robert, what is there to cause me to wish to prevent you from coming to the Lord''s table?" |
| 23270 | In the afternoon I want to drive over to York village and see Oosememou''s sick wife-- What is your day''s programme?" |
| 23270 | So, while keeping him covered with my rifle, and with my hand upon the trigger, I shouted:"Who''s there?" |
| 23270 | The heartless reasoning of these Indians in such cases was like this: he will always be lame and helpless; why should he be a burden on his friends? |
| 23270 | The list is again read over, and the question again asked:"Are you sure that we have not overlooked any? |
| 23270 | The next question which required more time for answering would be:"What is each man prepared to give as his contribution toward the feast?" |
| 23270 | The question now was, Which of these six was to receive the four- bladed knife? |
| 23270 | They acted as though they could not believe their own eyes; so they appealed to those nearest to them, and said:"Is it Maneto to you?" |
| 23270 | They obeyed readily: for was he not the son of a chief, and taught of the missionary? |
| 23270 | What are twelve miles to him, when there is such a feast at the end of it? |
| 23270 | What noise is that? |
| 23270 | What was the cause? |
| 23270 | Who is Sandy?" |
| 23270 | With a face from which the shadows had now fled away, he said quickly:--"Have you heard anything about that?" |
| 23270 | With renewed emphasis she dwelt on that which seemed to have given her the most sorrow? |
| 34495 | And you love his soul? |
| 34495 | And your children? |
| 34495 | Do you, or do you not wish to hear me? |
| 34495 | Friend, you love this boy? |
| 34495 | Then you have no desire to return to your former friends, the Sioux? |
| 34495 | Thy brother, where is he? |
| 34495 | Truly he has the wisdom of the white- faces,said a second;"has he their treachery? |
| 34495 | What creature is that they have aboard there? |
| 34495 | Who are you, friend? 34495 Why? |
| 34495 | Are a mother''s earnest, ceaseless prayers heard-- prayers uttered ere she left this world of trial? |
| 34495 | Can he be trusted?" |
| 34495 | Did they know me? |
| 34495 | Did you never ask God to deliver you?" |
| 34495 | Did you never pray? |
| 34495 | How so?" |
| 34495 | How, think you, blood- stained and guilty as I was, could I stand in the presence of One pure, holy, loving, and merciful? |
| 34495 | I''ve been working away all my life, and where''s the good I''ve got out of it? |
| 34495 | Let your people appear, there is no treachery intended them; I am in your power-- why doubt my word?" |
| 34495 | Many and many a cottage very far behind it, the old hunter might have said-- and why? |
| 34495 | Peter at length waved his hand to show that he was about to speak;"What seek you, friends?" |
| 34495 | Should we hasten on to help our friends? |
| 34495 | Tell me, what is it? |
| 34495 | Tom was the most timid,` It was bad aboard, Bill,''said he,` but if we was to meet a bear or a buffalo what what should we do?'' |
| 34495 | Tom, would you like to learn about Him?" |
| 34495 | Was it God''s love which sent me to you when you were on the point of death, or was it His hatred? |
| 34495 | Was it God''s love which softened the hearts of the Sioux towards us? |
| 34495 | We have drawbacks, I''ll allow; and what farmer, even in the old country, can say that he has not? |
| 34495 | Were our intended wives among them? |
| 34495 | What could we do? |
| 34495 | What had God to do with us poor chaps in that out- of- the- way place? |
| 34495 | What is she going to do?" |
| 34495 | Who sent you?" |
| 34495 | Will you listen to the reason of this? |
| 34495 | Would he give in now? |
| 34495 | ` East or west, Tom?'' |
| 34495 | ` How shall we ever get along?'' |
| 34495 | and whence do you come?" |
| 34495 | are those the houses of English settlers?" |
| 34495 | he asked;"you can not be what you seem?" |
| 34495 | he exclaimed,"Where does the strange craft come from? |
| 34495 | is it thus God''s creatures are destroyed to no purpose by these poor savages?" |
| 34495 | is it you-- you, indeed? |
| 34495 | is that wisdom you speak, old friend?" |
| 34495 | or should I deceive them? |
| 34495 | was that all you thought of? |
| 606 | ''Say, let me play, wo n''t you?'' 606 ''That is strange,''said OLD- man;''how can one Person kill so many men? |
| 606 | ''That suits me,''replied the Antelope,''but what shall we bet this time? 606 ''Well, what if you do?'' |
| 606 | ''What did you see, Brother Loon?'' 606 ''Which of my hands holds the bone now?'' |
| 606 | ''Whose woman is that up there in the tree top?'' 606 ''You wo n''t, hey?'' |
| 606 | OLD- man went to the creek, and with his buffalo- horn cup brought some water to the Person, asking as he approached:''Who are you, Person? |
| 606 | See your shadows on the lodge wall? |
| 606 | Soon a great white Beaver-- white as the snows of winter-- came to him and asked:''Why do you sing that song, my brother? 606 ''It is a warm morning and water tastes good, does n''t it?'' 606 Are you sorry that we have meat? 606 Birch- Tree, wo n''t you mind me? 606 Can you not kill a Rabbit or something for us to eat? 606 Do n''t you know that I light all of my lodge every day and search it carefully? 606 Do n''t you know that nothing can hide from me and live? 606 Do n''t you know that the whole world is my lodge and that you can never get outside of it, if you run your foolish legs off? 606 Do n''t you see? 606 Finally he said:You have seen many Snakes, I suppose?" |
| 606 | How can I see with my eyes full of mud? |
| 606 | Meat? |
| 606 | OLD- man knelt beside the man and asked:''Is there war in this country?'' |
| 606 | One night in War Eagle''s lodge, Other- person asked:"Why do n''t the Bear have a tail, grandfather?" |
| 606 | Pull out my hair? |
| 606 | Steal from me, will you? |
| 606 | Tell me, do your people hide, or are the young- men speaking truth, and have your people gone with mine to Sand Hill shadows to come back no more?" |
| 606 | The Unlucky- one was about to pass the old woman when she stopped him and asked:"''Why are you so sad in your handsome face? |
| 606 | What chance has an Otter against me? |
| 606 | What do you think they were doing? |
| 606 | What do you want of me? |
| 606 | What is it you want of me?'' |
| 606 | What is it you want?'' |
| 606 | What shall it be?'' |
| 606 | When he had finished the singing, the Coyote came up close and asked:"''What is the matter? |
| 606 | When they had all reached the place where OLD- man was he said to them:"''Do you see this robe?'' |
| 606 | Who are you, and where is your country?'' |
| 606 | Why did you come here? |
| 606 | Why do you come here? |
| 606 | Why do you sing that song? |
| 606 | Why is that sorry look in your fine eyes?'' |
| 606 | Will you do as I suggest, brother, or will you starve?'' |
| 606 | You all see this bone in my right hand, do n''t you?'' |
| 606 | You think you will escape me, do you? |
| 606 | laughed the Deer--''you beat me running? |
| 606 | what''s the matter with you? |
| 8122 | And fears not my daughter the evil spirit? 8122 He promised,--he promised,"she said--half- dreamily uttered and mournful,--"And why comes he not? |
| 8122 | Lists the chief to the cataract''s roar for the mournful lament of the Spirit? |
| 8122 | My Father,she said, and her words were low,"Why should I fear? |
| 8122 | My father,she said, and her voice was filial and full of compassion,"Would the heart of Ta- té- psin rejoice at the death of Winona, his daughter? |
| 8122 | Tanké,[ a] is the White Chief to blame? |
| 8122 | And dares the tall coward to say me no?" |
| 8122 | And what cares he for his father''s grief? |
| 8122 | And what of the lovers? |
| 8122 | And whence are the years? |
| 8122 | And whitherward rideth the chief to- day? |
| 8122 | And why is the warrior so glum and grave? |
| 8122 | Are the steps of the enemy nigh,--of the crafty and creeping Ojibways? |
| 8122 | But the May- days pass and the brave Chaskè-- O, why does the lover so long delay? |
| 8122 | But what of the venomous Hârpstinà-- The serpent that tempted the proud Red Cloud, And kindled revenge in his savage soul? |
| 8122 | But where is Wiwâstè? |
| 8122 | But where is Wiwâstè? |
| 8122 | But why did the lover so long delay? |
| 8122 | Can they be so modified? |
| 8122 | Dare you swing above the billows,-- Swing like me above the billows?" |
| 8122 | Does the tall Red Cloud for the false one sigh? |
| 8122 | From his last long sleep will the warrior wake? |
| 8122 | Great Unktèhee[ 69]--god of waters-- lifts no more his mighty head;-- Fled he with the timid otters?--lies he in the cavern dead? |
| 8122 | Have you met some evil spirit-- Met some goblin in the forest? |
| 8122 | Her feet are fleet, but the flying feet Of the steeds of the prairie are fleeter still; And where can she fly for a safe retreat? |
| 8122 | In my old age forsaken, alone, must I die in my teepee of hunger? |
| 8122 | Is he dead? |
| 8122 | Is it true?--will the spirits of kinsmen come And bid the bones of the brave arise?" |
| 8122 | Must I die in his teepee of sorrow? |
| 8122 | Must Winona, alas, make her choice--make her choice between death and Tamdóka? |
| 8122 | No tidings came-- nor the brave Chaskè: O, why did the lover so long delay? |
| 8122 | O living breath, Whence art thou, and whither so soon to fly? |
| 8122 | O where is she-- The Virgin avenged-- the queenly queen-- The womanly woman-- the heroine? |
| 8122 | O, why did I hark to the cry of scorn, Or the words of the lying libertine? |
| 8122 | O, why did the chief of the tall Hóhé His feet from Kapóza[ 6] so long delay? |
| 8122 | On his hateful couch shall Winona lie? |
| 8122 | Shall I overtake Their flying feet in the star- lit sky? |
| 8122 | Shall I sit at the feet of the treacherous brave? |
| 8122 | Shall she kindle his fire like a coward slave? |
| 8122 | She flies,--but what can her flight avail? |
| 8122 | Star- beaconed and lit like an avenue, In the shining stern of her gold canoe? |
| 8122 | The Virgins Feast is a Sacred thing: How durst she enter the Virgins ring? |
| 8122 | Was he slain by the crafty Tamdóka? |
| 8122 | What hunter will bring me the deer, or the flesh of the bear or the bison? |
| 8122 | Will the morning break in Wakâwa''s tomb, As it breaks and glows in the eastern skies? |
| 8122 | Will the warrior sit like a girl bereft, When fairer and truer than she are left That love Red Cloud as they love their life? |
| 8122 | With the coons and the beavers I ran; but where is the elk or the cabri? |
| 8122 | Wiwâstè waits in the lonely tee, Has her fair face fled from his memory? |
| 8122 | [ 80] Come!--where is the hunter will dare match his feet with the feet of Tamdóka? |
| 8122 | alas; And why did I fly my native land To die by the cruel Ojibway''s hand?" |
| 6983 | How many were in the boat? |
| 6983 | Is there anything you want? |
| 6983 | No,I replied,"where is he to be found? |
| 6983 | Now, supposing we were to do this, what would the Indians be willing to give? 6983 Papa, shall we go away in the big boat now our house is burnt?" |
| 6983 | Well, Mr. Leviere,I said to him one day,"what do you think the Indians will be willing to do? |
| 6983 | What have you got there, Kesheg? |
| 6983 | Who will stay up to watch to- night? |
| 6983 | Why not? |
| 6983 | ''Why is it that their religion does not go on and increase faster?'' |
| 6983 | After a pause I asked him--"Who was it that died on the Cross for us, Frederick?" |
| 6983 | Am I going to serve God or serve the devil? |
| 6983 | Am I trying to walk in the light every day? |
| 6983 | And now perhaps the question will be asked:-- DO THESE INDIAN HOMES SEEM LIKELY TO PROVE A SUCCESS? |
| 6983 | Are the Indians willing to make the change? |
| 6983 | Are their sons capable of receiving education and acquiring a knowledge of the various trades sufficient to make a livelihood? |
| 6983 | Are you ready to give a helping hand yourself?" |
| 6983 | But if not prepared, where would they be? |
| 6983 | Chance was the schoolmistress and doctor, and what would the poor children and the poor sick people do without her? |
| 6983 | Did not my poor boy say anything before he died? |
| 6983 | Do you think the Indians are ready to do this? |
| 6983 | Frost played the harmonium, and the children sang sweetly"Shall we gather at the river?" |
| 6983 | Had they-- sitting there before me-- anything to do with this eternal life? |
| 6983 | Have we reason to expect that we shall, in due time, achieve our object, and raise the Indian to a position equal to that of his white brethren? |
| 6983 | How could I break the distressing news to my poor friend Buhkwujjenene? |
| 6983 | How should he do it? |
| 6983 | I told them that the events that had happened seemed sad and distressing to us, but who were we that we should understand God''s purposes? |
| 6983 | Is it that Christ loves us less than His white children? |
| 6983 | Many a time has it been said to me,"How can you waste your time working among those Indians? |
| 6983 | One day Mrs. Wilson said to him,"How soon is your wife coming home?" |
| 6983 | One old lady, accosting one of the passengers, in her enthusiasm exclaimed,"Have ye got the army on board?" |
| 6983 | Or is it that the Church is sleeping? |
| 6983 | Should we go to the Jesuit priest? |
| 6983 | So I called to him,"Blackstone, may I speak to you?" |
| 6983 | Some one put his head in at my tent door, and said,"Have you seen the Indian Chief from Rainy Lake?" |
| 6983 | The church was now in danger; it was only 20 feet from the burning building; where should we go? |
| 6983 | To one of our little girls who came in he said,"Do you like to see me like this, Winnie?" |
| 6983 | Very warm and hearty, is it not? |
| 6983 | Were they prepared? |
| 6983 | What could he do? |
| 6983 | What could she want at this hour in the morning? |
| 6983 | What was I to do? |
| 6983 | What was to be done? |
| 6983 | Where shall I begin with my history as a Missionary? |
| 6983 | Who shall estimate the amount of good done by this earnest whole- souled Indian boy during his short career? |
| 6983 | Why do you not help us? |
| 6983 | Why not build a frame church? |
| 6983 | Why should it? |
| 6983 | Will their love for a wild life ever be eradicated? |
| 6983 | Will they cut down the trees,--square and haul the logs?" |
| 6983 | Will they stick to their work? |
| 6983 | Will you not join us to- night in our prayers?" |
| 6983 | Willie, always ready with his tongue, and already knowing a little English, called to the former,"Say, you going Sarnia?" |
| 6983 | Would it be out of place for the Chief to present his_ carte de visite_ to the Prince? |
| 6983 | Would they work without pay? |
| 6988 | Ca n''t you tell me the cost for your board per week? |
| 6988 | Can you do any kind of work? |
| 6988 | Do n''t you see the blood on my nose? |
| 6988 | Have you already forgottensaid Saw- ge- maw triumphantly,"that you have greatly insulted me on your borders? |
| 6988 | How much for books and clothing? |
| 6988 | Is it for business? |
| 6988 | Is it possible? 6988 Well, Mr. Blackbird, do you wish to attend our school?" |
| 6988 | Well, who knows? 6988 What are their names?" |
| 6988 | What,--she seemed to be very much surprised--"Mr. Alvin Coe the traveling missionary?" |
| 6988 | Where are they now? |
| 6988 | Working on a farm, eh? 6988 Would you not like to learn the blacksmith trade? |
| 6988 | A- zhawd, going; au- ne- pe a- zhawd? |
| 6988 | And where are those lawful promises gone to now? |
| 6988 | Are you chopping? |
| 6988 | Are you hungry? |
| 6988 | Are you sick? |
| 6988 | Are you thirsty? |
| 6988 | Are you well? |
| 6988 | As we went along this noble young man said to me,"My boy, would you like to come with us to Grand Traverse?" |
| 6988 | At the end of his shouting he thought he heard some one responding to his call,"Wau?" |
| 6988 | Au- ne- dosh wau- e- ke- to yon? |
| 6988 | Au- ne- pesh a- zhaw yon? |
| 6988 | Au- ne- pesh wen- dje- baw yon? |
| 6988 | Au- ne- pish kaw- e- zhawd? |
| 6988 | Au- ne- pish kos e- zhat? |
| 6988 | Au- nish a- naw- tchi- moo- tawk? |
| 6988 | Au- nish a- zhe- wa- bawk mon- daw? |
| 6988 | Au- nish a- zhe- we- be- sit au- we? |
| 6988 | Au- nish au- pe- daw- taw- gwe- she non? |
| 6988 | Au- nish mon- daw e- naw- gen deg? |
| 6988 | But where is the means to take me through for completing my education? |
| 6988 | Ca n''t you come down?" |
| 6988 | Do you hear? |
| 6988 | Do you listen? |
| 6988 | Do you understand me? |
| 6988 | Do you understand? |
| 6988 | Have you eaten? |
| 6988 | Have you seen and told the Indian agent of this matter?" |
| 6988 | He listened a few minutes, and again he called as before, and again heard distinctly the same response,"Wau?" |
| 6988 | He never even said,"How do you do?" |
| 6988 | He said,"Are you going?" |
| 6988 | He said,"Hello, what are you doing up there? |
| 6988 | I thought you came here on purpose to attend school?" |
| 6988 | Is it bad news? |
| 6988 | Is it for this that we have been plundered, and expelled at the point of the bayonet from the hallowed graves of our brothers and sires? |
| 6988 | Is it good news? |
| 6988 | Is this the wail now sounding For my unhappy future? |
| 6988 | Ke- baw- kaw- tay naw? |
| 6988 | Ke- ge- we- sin naw? |
| 6988 | Ke- gus- kaw- naw- baw- gwe naw? |
| 6988 | Ke- maw- ne- say naw? |
| 6988 | Ke- me- no- pe- maw- tis naw? |
| 6988 | Ke- ne- se- to- tow naw? |
| 6988 | Ke- no- dom naw? |
| 6988 | Ke- pe- sen- dom naw? |
| 6988 | Ke- taw- kos naw? |
| 6988 | Maw- tchi e- naw- kaw- me- got naw? |
| 6988 | Me- no e- naw- kaw- me- got naw? |
| 6988 | My father, Saw- ge- maw, what is the cause of your coming upon us so suddenly with death, as we have never wronged your race?" |
| 6988 | O- da me- tchaw- ne, he has a big heart Ke- ne- se- to- tom naw? |
| 6988 | Of course he did not know who might be Kaw- be- naw among the Ottawas, therefore he sang out, saying,"Where is your great Kaw- be- naw? |
| 6988 | Our cousin again questioned the boy,"How did you come to find these Wa- me- te- go- zhe- wog here?" |
| 6988 | So one of the warriors replied,"Do n''t you know that you have buried our great Kaw- be- naw in the pit yesterday?" |
| 6988 | The Wenebagoes said,"How and where?" |
| 6988 | Thus, the answer to the question, What is he eating? |
| 6988 | Very soon one of the young men came up to me, saying,"Are you going to attend our school here?" |
| 6988 | We- go- nash wau- au- yaw mon? |
| 6988 | Well, children, have you any meat? |
| 6988 | What are you afraid of? |
| 6988 | What did he tell you? |
| 6988 | What do you want? |
| 6988 | What is it about him?" |
| 6988 | What is that I hear, So mournfully ringing in my ear, Like a death song of warriors, For those who fell by their brave sires? |
| 6988 | What is the matter with him? |
| 6988 | What is the matter with him?" |
| 6988 | What is the matter with that? |
| 6988 | What is the price? |
| 6988 | What must be the feelings of this poor Indian, to whom life was as sweet as to any human creature? |
| 6988 | What revenge should he take upon those traders? |
| 6988 | What shall you say? |
| 6988 | When did you come? |
| 6988 | Where are you from? |
| 6988 | Where are you going? |
| 6988 | Where did he go? |
| 6988 | Where did your father go? |
| 6988 | Where do you intend to go?" |
| 6988 | Who fed you? |
| 6988 | are you prepared to enter such a college?" |
| 6988 | but immediately began, saying,"Well, sir, how much do you think that it will cost for your schooling at Ypsilanti?" |
| 6988 | where did he go? |
| 21244 | Do you wish to smother me, man? |
| 21244 | Fish? |
| 21244 | Have you any flour? |
| 21244 | Have you any potatoes? |
| 21244 | Have you any tea? |
| 21244 | Have you any venison? |
| 21244 | Have you volunteered to go as a missionary to that far- off land? |
| 21244 | He is your Father? |
| 21244 | How many winters will pass by before that time comes? |
| 21244 | Jack, my noble fellow,I said,"do you know that we are lost, and that it is very doubtful whether we shall ever see the Mission House again? |
| 21244 | Then we are brothers? |
| 21244 | WHERE IS THE MISSIONARY? |
| 21244 | Waiting? |
| 21244 | Well, here is this letter; what are you going to do about it? |
| 21244 | Well, why is it I never heard of him before, I wonder? |
| 21244 | What about when it was too stormy for any one to go? |
| 21244 | What did you do when it was too stormy to visit the nets? |
| 21244 | What have you discovered? |
| 21244 | What have you got, poor woman? |
| 21244 | What were my words of three summers ago? |
| 21244 | Why do you think so? |
| 21244 | Why should I not wash? |
| 21244 | Why, then,I said,"do you not worship the good Spirit? |
| 21244 | Will you help my wife and children also to become Christians? |
| 21244 | A RACE FOR LIFE IN A BLIZZARD STORM-- SAVED BY THE MARVELLOUS INTELLIGENCE OF JACK--"WHERE IS THE OLD MAN, WHOSE HEAD WAS LIKE THE SNOW- DRIFT?" |
| 21244 | After a while I broke the silence by saying,"Where have you buried him?" |
| 21244 | Again I asked:"Tell me, what have you done with the old man with the snow- white hair?" |
| 21244 | As we arose from our knees, I quietly said to Mrs Young,"Have you any impression on your mind as to our duty in this matter?" |
| 21244 | As we were poorly off for food, I was very much pleased, and said to him,"What shall I give you for this meat?" |
| 21244 | At length he stopped, and as we came up to him we said,"Well, Tom, what is the matter?" |
| 21244 | At length one of the sons spoke up and said,"Who is causing us all this trouble?" |
| 21244 | Before I closed the first service I asked,"Where is the old man whose head was like the snow- drift?" |
| 21244 | But what should we do then? |
| 21244 | Do n''t you think you had better come back to him?'' |
| 21244 | Do you not remember, William, he said that if we ever got into great trouble, the Great Spirit was the best Friend to Whom to go to help us out? |
| 21244 | Do you want anything more?" |
| 21244 | He replies,"Do you see those balsams? |
| 21244 | He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?" |
| 21244 | He turned to her and said, with something of his old enthusiasm,"Why should that thought trouble you, my dear? |
| 21244 | Here is a beautiful illustration:--"WHERE ARE OUR CHILDREN?" |
| 21244 | How can I help being happy? |
| 21244 | How can we spare you?'' |
| 21244 | How is one part more sacred than the other? |
| 21244 | I believe that dear Jesus will take me to that better land; but, mother, when you come, will you look for me until you find me? |
| 21244 | I had been very bad, and had got very far away; how could I come back? |
| 21244 | I quickly said to one of my men,"How much food have we?" |
| 21244 | I said;"for what are you waiting?" |
| 21244 | In a spirit that perhaps savoured too much of unbelief I cried out,"How long, O Lord, how long? |
| 21244 | Is it any wonder that I became deeply attached to these Nelson River Indians? |
| 21244 | Lifting up his eyes to mine, again he said,"May I say more?" |
| 21244 | One day, in conversing with an old fine- looking Indian, I said to him,"What is your religion? |
| 21244 | Said he,"Did you not go to Nelson River with dogs and Indians about two moons ago?" |
| 21244 | She read it over carefully, and then, after a quiet moment, as was quite natural, asked,"What does this mean?" |
| 21244 | So keeping my rifle to my shoulder, I shouted out,"Who''s there?" |
| 21244 | Some of them had several miles to go; but what cared they on this glad day? |
| 21244 | Somebody else said,"Have you the name of that boy who was accidentally shot in the leg?" |
| 21244 | Speaking more loudly I said,"Samuel, my brother, you are in the Valley of the Shadow of Death; how is it with you?" |
| 21244 | Suspecting the purpose for which I wanted it, he said,"What are you going to do with it?" |
| 21244 | Tell me, Missionary, what must I do to please the Great Spirit, that I may get to that beautiful land, that I may meet my children again?" |
| 21244 | Their minds were dark; would I soon come back and bring in the light? |
| 21244 | Then again he asked,"Who did you say was the author or inventor of these characters?" |
| 21244 | Then he said, while his eyes and voice yearned for the answer,"Does it mean He is my Father-- poor Indian''s Father?" |
| 21244 | Then we asked,"Are you willing to run the risk, and avail yourselves of this chance to do a glorious act?" |
| 21244 | This seemed to astonish them, and they said:"What has he got to talk about that is more important than the treaty?" |
| 21244 | Was not she a Saulteaux, and had not she a right to know of this new way, about which so much was being said? |
| 21244 | When shall the time arrive when` nations shall be born in a day''? |
| 21244 | Why do Thy chariot wheels delay?" |
| 21244 | Why do you make and worship idols?" |
| 21244 | Why resign your position?" |
| 21244 | what is that?" |
| 18495 | ''Gat Gardiner?'' 18495 ''Where did you get the lot?'' |
| 18495 | And what did you say to him? |
| 18495 | Arm them? |
| 18495 | Before the advent of the railroad and the steamboat, which was the longest of the Company''s packet routes? |
| 18495 | But do either of the traders know you have it? |
| 18495 | But how could he fire his gun if his canoe had drifted away? |
| 18495 | But, Billy, why did n''t you shoot it? |
| 18495 | Did he always bring your grandmother a present? |
| 18495 | Did you bring back anything? |
| 18495 | Do the Company''s officers experience much trouble in procuring men to act as packeteers? |
| 18495 | Gude day, man Oo- koo- hoo, what can I do for ye the day? |
| 18495 | Have you much fur? |
| 18495 | How many miles a day do the packeteers average on their winter trips? |
| 18495 | How many wolverines,I asked,"do you suppose are causing all the trouble on your and Amik''s trapping paths?" |
| 18495 | If I have what you have n''t got,my host smiled,"will you dine with me?" |
| 18495 | In what have I failed? |
| 18495 | May I use your stove to cook breakfast? |
| 18495 | My son, perhaps you wonder why I did not use my gun? 18495 Shoot? |
| 18495 | Speaking of feeding, what do you consider the best food for dogs? |
| 18495 | Then kerosene is not included in the regular rations the Company supplies for its trippers and voyageurs? |
| 18495 | What does Spring mean to you town folk, anyway? 18495 What does it mean to the man of the woods? |
| 18495 | What was it? |
| 18495 | What''s that? |
| 18495 | Would you look as well upon a black fox? |
| 18495 | You know how bears will act when they sometimes comes across a handy log? 18495 ''Got any weapons on you?'' 18495 ( What cheer, what cheer?) 18495 After all-- was he but a fond parents''dream? 18495 Again, I wondered whoSon- in- law"could be? |
| 18495 | All at once I heard the dogs blowin''so hard----""Blowing?" |
| 18495 | And when the male comes, what does the female do? |
| 18495 | Are you ashamed?" |
| 18495 | But does not the one exception prove the rule? |
| 18495 | But of what use was one snowshoe? |
| 18495 | But perhaps you are wondering about the beautiful Athabasca? |
| 18495 | But why have you not more improved since you have long had the opportunity from our example? |
| 18495 | But,"smiled Oo- koo- hoo,"she was devoured with curiosity; and, besides, was not her young lover with her? |
| 18495 | Could any country in the world have chosen a more inspiring creature than Canada has chosen for her national symbol? |
| 18495 | Could any nation choose a creature more fit for a national emblem? |
| 18495 | Did we not eat the fat and the blood, and use the firewood he left at our door?'' |
| 18495 | Did you ever meet a character like that in northern fiction? |
| 18495 | Did you like the play?" |
| 18495 | First he responded with a burst of laughter, then with the question:"Why, what''s the use of getting up?" |
| 18495 | Furthermore, when people exclaim:"What''s the matter with the movies?" |
| 18495 | Had I done anything to displease her? |
| 18495 | Had they not lent a hand in the winning of the treasure that was floating away? |
| 18495 | Have you one?" |
| 18495 | How did I manage it? |
| 18495 | How did it happen? |
| 18495 | How? |
| 18495 | How? |
| 18495 | Hunt the world over, and could one find any more holy places than some of Nature''s sanctuaries? |
| 18495 | I asked him to explain, but he only laughed knowingly, so I turned the subject by asking:"Does an animal ever eat the bait after it is caught?" |
| 18495 | I was afraid he was going to turn in, so I quickly asked:"Which is the longest of the Company''s packet routes at the present day?" |
| 18495 | I would ask him:"Why do you stay in bed?" |
| 18495 | If the latter, what sign or signal would he use so that they might keep in touch with him? |
| 18495 | Is it any wonder the red man laughs? |
| 18495 | Is that a fact?" |
| 18495 | It made me think of the shy but radiant Athabasca, and I wondered-- was her lover with her now? |
| 18495 | Knowing that the hunter had wanted to procure more than one moose I asked him why he had not at once pursued the other? |
| 18495 | Lest something interesting should be lost, I ventured:"Was it the Bishop or the Commissioner that made the trouble?" |
| 18495 | Next I asked Oo- koo- hoo in which direction men usually turned when lost in the woods-- to the right or to the left? |
| 18495 | No wonder Shing- wauk-- The Little Pine-- sang his love song, too, for was not his heart aflame with the spring time of life? |
| 18495 | No, of course not; how could you? |
| 18495 | Of course such ideas seem strange to us, but, after all, are we in a position to ridicule the Indians''belief? |
| 18495 | Presently the Factor and I were alone for a few moments and he growled:"Whit d''ye think o''the auld de''il?" |
| 18495 | Publish it? |
| 18495 | Queer, is n''t it, the way women sometimes affect one? |
| 18495 | She, too, set me wondering; was she thinking of Son- in- law? |
| 18495 | So now, do you wonder that I laugh?" |
| 18495 | So what do you think the cunnin''brute did? |
| 18495 | Some of the packeteers, I should judge, have made great records; have n''t they?" |
| 18495 | Spear got up and, getting a picture book, asked:"Mr. Heming, are you fond of pictures? |
| 18495 | Spear turned to me and beamed:"Does n''t Athabasca look radiantly beautiful?" |
| 18495 | Strange, is n''t it, that the writers of northern novels never depict a scene like that? |
| 18495 | THE LONGEST BRIGADE ROUTES After a little while I asked:"What was the longest route of the old- time canoe and boat brigades?" |
| 18495 | Tell me now why and from whence you come?" |
| 18495 | The dwelling- house was closed, the store shut up, the man in charge had not yet come up from St. John''s; now what was to be done? |
| 18495 | The great canoe swings as though upon a pivot; for is not the steersman doing exactly the very opposite at this precise moment? |
| 18495 | Then I wondered-- was this the man? |
| 18495 | Then, too, is not any production of the creative arts-- a poem, a story, a play, a painting, or a statue-- but a reflection of the composer''s soul? |
| 18495 | To prevent it from being soiled or torn? |
| 18495 | V MEETING OF THE WILD MEN WHO IS SON- IN- LAW? |
| 18495 | Was it Son- in- law? |
| 18495 | Was it any wonder I was happy? |
| 18495 | Was it in the same way that her young white man had come so many miles on snowshoes through the winter woods just to call upon her? |
| 18495 | Was it not going to build a fleet of steamers to ply upon the lakes and rivers in that section? |
| 18495 | Were they not bidding farewell to fathers, husbands, brothers, sons, or lovers, chosen as the best men from their village? |
| 18495 | What did it all mean? |
| 18495 | What do they do when they want a mate? |
| 18495 | What was it thinking about? |
| 18495 | What would you give to live such a peaceful life? |
| 18495 | Whence did he come? |
| 18495 | Whenever your forefathers were smitten with hunger or disease, who looked after them? |
| 18495 | Who gave you your debt last fall and made it possible for you to hunt this winter? |
| 18495 | Who sells you the best goods? |
| 18495 | Why do you not believe mine?'' |
| 18495 | Why need she fear? |
| 18495 | Why the mirth?" |
| 18495 | Why, your reverence, do n''t you know, packeteers never carries a gun?" |
| 18495 | Why? |
| 18495 | Will you?" |
| 18495 | Would I go? |
| 18495 | Would he himself skin and cut up the bear, or would he want the women to help him? |
| 18495 | _ wat- che_?" |
| 18495 | asked The Bear,"for would not his gun be in his canoe?" |
| 18495 | could he be"Son- in- law"? |
| 18495 | do n''t you think it would be a good thing if you took son- in- law into partnership?" |
| 18495 | indeed? |
| 18495 | indeed?" |
| 18495 | not just this week, this month, or this season, but what is actually occurring day by day, throughout the cycle of an entire year? |
| 18495 | roared the Factor,"what is''t the noo?" |
| 18495 | what is daily going on in the Great Northern Forest? |
