In Montana there is still a tendency to crush
high hats and prey on the pOcketbook and
sentiments of the tenderfoot. To cite a single
instance of unmitigated gall triumphing over
credulity in that section, an English traveller
on our train purchased for $40 the arrow that
killed Custer. As far as the testimony of
history is concerned relative to the dreadful
battle scene that lay silent overlooking the
banks of the Little Big Horn, the body of the
dashing, golden-haired Custer was found un-
mutilated by the hand of the savage Sioux,
undefiled by the touch of arrow. Thus
fact triumphs over fiction-Cor. Chicago In

Gen. SkobeleM's Lucky Flag.

Vereschagin, the distinguished Russian
painter, in the course of some "reminiscences
of his friend Skobeleff, notes that the general
was very superstitiouS. Skobeleff had made
him present Of the flag under which he had
gained twenty two victories. 1t was made of
red silk, with a yellow cross embroidered in
the middle, and it was torn by many bullets.
On leaving for his last Turkestan expedition,
Skobeletf remembered the flag and asked his
friend either to give it back to him or to send
him another in exchange. Madame Veres-
chagin made an elaborate new flag, which
was greatly admired on its arrival in the
camp both by the general and his men, .But
Skobeleff was just then unsuccessful The
enemy made a sortie from Geek Tepe, took q
number of arms, a cannon and o flag Sko-
belief was in despair. Give me the old flag
back; the new one is unlucky,' he wrote to
me. 1 gave nothing back. Another sortie,
another defeat, and considerable losses An
other appeal: Give back, give back my lucky
tag; take the one away which has no luck.
Still did not give it back. Finally, Geek
Tepe was taken, large numbers Of the enemy
We're killed, and an abundance Of arms and
baggage fell into the triumphant generals
hands. Ny flag regained its favor. Skobeleff
and his Turkomans were never tired Of ad-
miring it. To-day this lucky flag rests on
the tomb of the general. al."-Exchange.

things provided for, it remains with the owner
to determine whether his reputation for hos

II he is accustomed to playing mine host upon

he must, indeed be n generous skipper who

however, that few Boston yacht owners live

how a man could find an outlet for the sum

THE ExTRAvAGANT COST OF KEEP
ikA<AcHTS IN COMMISSION.
An Estimate Of the Expenses ~ Viewed
From the Standpoint of Moderation.
what Yachting Has In Common With
Housekeeping.

1t has been said that it cost the owner &1O,-
600 to keep the Huron in commission during
the yachting season This statement has led
many people to wonder whether such an out
lay is customary among yachtsmen-
There are few yachtsmen who devote them
selves entirely to their vessels during the sea
son, so it must follow that many other pleas
ures occupy their leisure summer time, to say
nothing of the remaining eight or nine months
Of the year. In order to keep up the same
monetary pace in all the festivities which en-
sue between New Years and Christmas, tho
$1,000 yachtsman should have an Income OF
not less than 500, 900, provided he has any in
tention OF living within his resources or of
accuniulating nest egg.
EsTIMATING THE COST.
Boston yachtsmen are not, as q rule, SO ex-
travagant as their New York brethren, and
many OF them seem to think that unless a
man is prodigal in his salt water hospitality
he should be able to weather the season with
out crossing the 5000 line. "The HurOns
owner must have thrown q good deal of his
money overheard il his boat cost him $lO,O 600
every year, said gentleman who owns one of
the largest and best known yachts in eastern
waters, and as the unhappy proprietor of the
Huron had not the reputation of an extrava-
giant host there would seem to be a great deal

$50 per month for each ordinary seaman,
from so to 800 per month for the captain,
from $50 to SO for the mate, and, according
to the epicurean tastes Of the owner, the
cooks wages would range from that Of the

who are inclined to put ON style, will select
