that animals had souls-is in possession
of a Cleveland lady, but the other
animal, who travelled with him always
by food and field, sometimes across the
saddle and sometimes put into box
and forwarded from station to station, is
in his fathers possession, as is also the
horse which he rode up to the time of
his death, and which carried him to the
very scene of slaughter. The horse was
purchased by some of Clusters brother
officers and presented to Mrs. Custer,
who gave it to her husbands aged
father. The elder Custer is a feeble old
man with snow-white hair, but not day
passes but that he mounts his Artie's "
steed-( Clusters middle name was Arm
strong, abbreviated into "Artie ")-and
takes a gallop along the road. He talks
of his dead son continually. "All my
boys were good boys to me, but you
know Artie was my baby" he will say
pitiously. A great friend of Mrs. Gus.
ter, who brought her late husbands
aged father from his western home to
West Point, to attend the burial, saw g
pathetic little sight that will show how
much the poor d man-old enough te
have been Clusters grandfather-thinks
of his dead hero. One day she sought
Mr.. Custer in the barn; she found hin
in the stall devoted to his sons steed
He had come in from ride, and having
fed the animal, had gone to sleep witt
his arm thrown over the horses neck
and his white hair streaming over it
glossy coat. There were tears, too, OF
his withered cheeks.
