There was time when that degraded
man was as guiltless rs u girl; he began
by learning vice from the example of
his companions, Just as he learned how to
smoke. Had his education been more
severe, had the earliest inclinations been
checked by the fear of ruin and disgrace,
he would not have acquired the most
dangerous of all habits. That man should
lie subjected to the same discipline Us
arOmdG is, therefore, to be wished for
and although the day is far distant there
can be no doubt that it will come and the
future historian Of morals viii record with
surprise that, in the nineteenth century,
society countenanced views in man which

CUsTER's CONFEDERATE FRIEND.
An Incident in the Life of the Gem
eral as Recorded by his widow
In "FSoOts and Saddles"

In "EoOts and SaddIes.''
The Seventh Cavalry were sent to guard
the engineers of the Northern Pacific
while they surveyed the route to the Vel
lowstone. This party of citizens joined
the command few days out from Fort
Rice. Gen. Custer wrote me that he was
lying on the buffalo robe in his tent,
resting after his march, when he heard n
voice outside asking the sentinel (which
was Gen. Clusters tent" Tie General
called out " Halloo, old fellow haven't
heard that voice for Is years, but l know
it.. Come in and welcome ~" Gen. ROsser
walked in and such a reunion as was had !
These two had been classmates and warm
friends at West Point, and parted with
sorrow when Gen. Rosscr went into the
Southern army. Afterward they had
fought each other in the Shenandoah
Valley time and time again. Both Of them
lay on the robe for hours talking over the
campaign in Virginia. In the varying
fortunes of war sometimes one had got
possession of the wagon train belonging to
the other. l knew of several occasions
when they had captured each others
headquarters wagon, with their private
luggage. If one drove the other back in
retreat, before he went into camp he
wrote note addressing tho other as
Dear friend, and saying, You may
have made me take few steps this way
to-day, but I'll be even with you to-mor-
row, Please accept my good wishes and
this little gift" These notes and presents
were left at the house of some Southern
woman as they retreated ont of the village.
Once Gen. Custer took all of his friends
luggage and found in it Il new uniform
coat of Confederate gray. He wrote II
humorous letter that night thanking Gen.
Rosser for setting him up in so many new
things, but audaciously asking him if he
would direct his tailor to make the coat
tails of his next uniform little shorter"
as there was a difference in the height of
the two men. Gen. Custer captured his
herd of cattle at one time, but he was so
holly pursued by Gen. Rosser that he had
dsmounted, cut whip, and drove them
himself until they were secured.
