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

"Yes."

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

"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

and aa late as 1893 Thomas 8tephena

and declared that the legend waa un
doubtedly based on trnth.
