Other investigators might have fol lowed in his footsteps and proved him either wrong or right, but In the win-1 ’An Inside and an outside.’ But this was nothing compared with what followed. The doctor said to the student: “And you attend the moral philosophy class also?” "Yes." “Well, you would hear lectures on various subjects. Did you ever hear one on cause and effect?" "Yes.” “Does an effect ever go before a cause?" "Yes." "Give me an instance?" “A man wheeling a barrow." The doctor then sat-down and pra ter of 1838-39 an epidemic of small- j posed no more Questions.—Detroit pox swept through the tribe, and of the 1,600 or more persons In it. left only about thirty-one, most of them women who fled from the pestilence and were captured by the Sioux and other tribes with whom they inter married. Between 200 and 300 of their descendants now live on the Fort Berthold reservation In North Dakota. This legend of Prince Madoc and the Welsh Indians has had a hard struggle, but has thriven surprisingly in spite of the wiping out of the Man- dans, and the fact that, as the story goes, the Welsh records proving Its truth were burned long ago. What remains of it is to this effect: Madoc waa the son of Owen Gwynedd, one of the greatest of the Welsh kings. Owen reigned from 1137 to 1169, and his capital was Abergraw. He had sixteen eons besides Madoo, and the eldest Huell, succeeded him on the throne. But while Huell was visiting Ire land, David, another son seised the throne and began to seise and impris on bis brothers. Madoc, though, was in charge of the fleet and couldn't be got at Madoc took advantage of the op portunity to start on a voyage of dis covery westward. He sailed on for many days over the broad Atlantlo and at last landed on a broad conti nent of great fertility. The general supposition Is that he reached Florida, later the Spaniards heard there of a previous landing by an expedition of white men. Months later Madoc returned to Wales and told of his great discov ery. He organized a new expedition of ten ships and about 300 men, and these sailed away In the year 1170 from the Isle of Angelesla In search of the Ooroonha, the beautiful laud that Madoc and hls followers told about The Welsh story Is that they never returned, though one Welsh bard, Gwyllon Owen, did say of the return of one explorer Cynfly ap Rhys, and this story was preserved In what pur ported to be a manuscript of hls found in a Welsh monastery. Some Investigators have declared this manuscript to be a forgery. One of.the tales it told was that the Welsh men taught the Indians to build and use the coracle, the skin Covered bas ket boat of the Celtic race, described, among ethers, by Caesar. Now Catlln, who lived among the Mandans and studied their language and characteristics with the result that he firmly believed them to be the descendants of the lost Madoc and Us fellow travelers, found among otaer things that they used the cor acle. No other tribe of Indians -Hd. They were fair complexioned and had the reddish, wavy hair of the Welsh. The men were bearded. They made glass beads and many other articles of civilized ornament and dress and the words in their lan guage correspondisg to I, he, she. It, we, no, head. Great Spirit and other tUngs almost Identical with the Welsh equivalents. The Rev. Benjamin F. Bowen was another investigator of the legend who believed it. He told all about hls In vestigation and the reasons for hts be lief is an Interesting volume entitled "America Discovered by the Welsh," and published here Id 1876. The Llangollen Olestedfod, held In September, 1858, discussed It and pa triotically decided that tho Welsh wer* the real discoverers of America, and aa late as 1893 Thomas 8tephena carefully Investigated the evidence and declared that the legend waa un doubtedly based on trnth. So maybe Columbus wssn’t the first discoverer, after ell, end Prince Ma doc ought to have one at least of the many monuments dedicated to Col umbus all over the land.
