At the Cub the other night a group of
western men were telling anecdotes of from
tier life. Here is one which struck me as be-
ing particularly good. Those who have been
in the Far Vest and have lived among
frontier men will appreciate it, dare say.
In the course of tho Indian war of 1882, it
seems, Gen. Sherman paid visit to Camp
Apache, in Arizona While there a huge
redsliin, who was captain of the scouts, fol
lowed the general wherever he went, and
frequently begged as present one of the
small cannons standing on the parade
.5Tound. Finally the general impstiently
turned to the Indian, exclaiming:
w nat do you want with the cannon, any
wayi Do you want to kill my soldiers
with it!n
No" replied the Indian in his cultural
voice; want to kill cowboys with it. Kill
soldiers with club. New York Tribune.
