would surrender Mother right of choice over
the Cabinet. nor right to make nominations
without dictaton. This Senator said however.
that n modification Of the civil service order was
not improbable. and admitted tho extreme
anxiety Of Haycs's immediate friends and sup
porters to enter into harmony with the r'st Of

and his friends are looking for some line Of re-

and died cheenly. with hardly q
grssn, and never . complaint. So
extraordinary 9 balance of faculties, so
complete an indifference to fate, such an
apparent delight in mortal danger,
have seldom been associated. at least in
the annals Of red men, with an absolute
and knightly chivalry toward their
foes.
The twenty or more Cheyenne scouts
who headed Gen. Miles advance did
not emulate this chivalry. but rivalled
the bravery of the Nez Perces. The
Cheyennes fought in sheer loveef fight
ing; from the moment Josephss%iliage
was discovered they doffed their super
fuous wear. donned their war paint and
rushed hi-hi-ing to the fray. Lieut..
Jerome describes their feats as marvels
OF hardihOod and daring. Whenever,
during the four days Of the engagement,
the firing slackened, they fell to the
rear. but when the fusilade of magazine
rifles rolled around the line they rushed
to the front and reckleesly exposed
themselves.
They fought" says Jerome. "for the
JOY of it. At one time four of them
formed . combination queerer than
any Wall street combination | ever
heard of. Three Of them burrowed in
pit and put up corner on Joseph's
whole band. The fourth one-the man
who did the most to win the corner
then used to jump up aud leap on to
his horse. and ride out to draw the Nez
Perces fire. This bravado would, of
course, Oblige the Nez Perces who fred
ct him to expose their heads above the
edges Of their own trenches, whereupon
the riders three companions would lift
up and give them HI"
Lieut.. Jerome speaking of poor Hale,
of the 7th. who was killed in the first
fatal charge, says:
The story of Hale's saying, MY God!
am l going to be killed 81 early in the
morningI is probably . fiction. What
did occur was this. When the command
halted just after the news that the Nez
Perces village was in sight was received
from the scout, and while the scout was
riding back to the rear during the halt
to infoim Gen. Miles. Hale. who was
spelling for fight. but who was evil
IDENTIFY nervous and troubled. took out
q charm given to him by lady, which
he wore around his neck and said "Je.

ing l want you to Gee that this gets

bantered him moment about it. Then
he took it in his hand and threw it with
. gesture against his heart, laughed III
his peculiar manner and exclaimed !:
There nothing is going to harm me
now That was one of the reasons,
continued Jerome. why ! wanted to 60
down and recover Hale's body"
Lieut.. Jerome recovered the love
charm which, unhappily, had not re-
warded the brave Captains confidence
in his power to preserve him from
death.
