hundred of 'em close ahead of u.s.
Says he, Dead, well bounce 'em,
and we did bounce 'em, and never
lost a man."
Then, as the tears stood in his
eyes, he said, "Dead can he be
dead? The best Indian fighter the
plains ever saw Great God who
did he have for scouts that they let
him get into such a scrape? Bill

Custer had had him. Bill would

but a bundle Of possibilities. Heis
a creature of unframed impulses,
Of undeyeloped affections. His
mind is like a CRATE in a well-ordered
house. The coal is there, the wood
is there, and the whole thing will
break into a blaze when touched
with a match. Now, after the
match has touched it, what is a
pleasanter and more profitable sight
than half dozen Jumps of coal
enveloped in a royal blaze, and
filling the room so full of light and
heat that one forgets the wintry
sleet without? So childhood, with
its sugar plums and its toys, will be
inferior to manhood with its burn

The Happiest Period

Ever since the world began this
has been a disputed question; and
ever since the world began the
majority Of the people have gener-
ally misjudged. Thoroughly dis
satisfied with any present time, the
people cast about for a golden age.
We cannot find it in the future, as
the cloud of uncertainty hangs on
the horizon in that direction. We
are compelled therefore to explore
the past,
The immediate past, with its facts
and disappointments, is too fresh
in our memory to allow us to throw
the required halo about it, and so
we continue our journey until we
get to the point where memory
grows dim and the imagination
works actively, and we call that the
hale halcyon period of life. The
distant future and distant past are
both creations Of the fancy,
To say that childhood is the hap
piest period of life is to offer insult

Indian aaIIantry.

In a letter q correspondent VINO
was present with General Crooks
command in the fight OH the Rose
bud, we find the following interest
ing account Of the Sioux method
of fighting:
Thirteen Sioux scalps were
brought in by allies and half-breeds
at the close of the engagement.
Not claiming such ghastly trophies,
of course, our troops could point to
no evidence equally conclusive as
to the number Of savages killed by
them, but dozens we're known to
have been slain, and the number
wounded was proportionately large.
A low estimate Of the killed and
wounded of the enemy would
Therefore be about one hundred.
Among the daredevil feats of the
Sioux those made to recover their
dead and wounded were most no.
ticeable. No matter where an In
dian was seen to fall, three or four
of his comrades would dash out,
secure the body, lash it to the back
Of a pony and make off, even
though they made it necessary for
others to come to pick up one OF
two of their own number. More
than one brave received his death
wound while making such an at,
tempt. But, to say the least, there
was vast amount of either "pre.
meditated courage" or uhshnted
recklessness manifested in the des
perate conduct of the enemy
from beginning to end. While
he would flee before a steady
assault, he would turn with
lightning like rapidity and
plunge into deaths very jaws in
trying to cut off detached partie;
of troops or allies. So close were
some of these encounters that
wounds inflicted by the sayages
were fairly burned by the exploding
powder, and there are several in.
stances noted in which our men re.
ceived death wounds from the battle
ak, arrow and lance. In one case
u soldier was scalped before his com,
rades, a few yards distant, could
rush to the rescue, and in another
the indians had killed a cavalry
man in a hand-to-hand fight, plum,
dered his body of watch, gun
J clothing, etc, and were just about
to scalp him as neighboring
skirmisher reached the spot. Ii
charging from or back to covers
down terrific stretches Of descent
these matchless riders would swing
low on one side of theil
Z ponies, quickly change position
at an opportunity to fire, and again
squirm almost out of sight, with
evidently no thought of being un
| horsed. If the ground was exceed
ingly rough or ordinarily smootl
: the Indian used it to advantage al
) the same. The open space seemed
l designed for his fearful onslaught
$ the deep gully or rocky cliff, for hi
safe retreat. Nor were our friendly
t representatives of the mountain
5 tribes one whit behind their enc
r mics of the plain in these adjunct
? to savage warfare. More than on,
