trouble, although last winter they
threatened an outbreak. The Crows
and Pawnees, being hated by all other
tribes, were our allies, and made our
best trailers. The Utes, while less dar-

situation In the mountains, were enabled
to ambush the troops very easily and
Fighting withal. was rather n run than
combat, and the troops had for many
years little chance against them on ac-
count OF their great celebrity of move
ment. Ii was not until the winter OF
1915, when General Nelson A. Miles be-
gan his series OF winter campaigns, that
the Plains Indians were thoroughly SUBJ
dued.
THAT officer followed their trail in
the coolest weather, drove them from
their winter camps, and, although un-
able to ovcrtake them, kept them con-
stantly on the move. Tho Indians, sem
sitive to cold and ill-provided with
clothing, died like sheep of hardship
and exposure, and one by one the bands,
fairly tired out, came in, surrendered
and were disarmed and were put on
reservations. The winter campaign
more than anything else brake the
power of the Plains tribes, but n terrible
expense to the troops, who were ex.
posed to the fury OF the western storms
in the coldest months in the year. Tho
youngsters in the army regret the dis
appearance of the Indians, but we old

is, are most thankful that they are over,

HANGING FROM A WIRE.
A Lineman's Marrow Escape From In.

st. Louis Globe Democrat, February
25: A thrilling incident, in which
Robert Archibald, an employe of the
Bell Telephone company, narrowly
escaped death, happened at Broadway
and Pine street about 4:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Archibald was Or

corner and examine the wires, which
were not working we'll. He is sturdy

which rendered the Brush electric

pain, relaxed his hold. on the pole and
fell. Fortunately, however, his foot be-

the pole, and he was thus saved a fall to
the granite paved street below. Several
OF the wires which suspended Archibald
in mid air were Brush electric light
wires, and these tortured the poor fell
lows until he shriked with agony. He
was so badly tangled up in the wires
that he was helpless. His head hung
downward and his feet were inextric-
ably caught in the smallei telephone
wires above. Meantime an immense
crowd OF curious people gathered below,
but }hey were powerless to aid the suf-

soon arrived on the spot climbed to res

reach, and If they cut the lines he would
be killed in the fall. Suddenly Archi-

was organized he fell away from his old
political allegiance, and since that time
has been an aggressive leader OF the

John Bell, who carried the standard OF
the union party in that campaign, lived
long enough to learn that the arbitra-
ment OF battle had forever settled the
questions of slavery and secession in
this country. and before he died in his
home in Nashville, Tenn, in 1860, he
had acknowledged that the temporary
truce his party held out would have
only postponed the struggle. and would
not have forever prevented it.

New York Graphic: The anniversary
Of Lincoln's birthday brought several Of
the Old-timers once more into public

been heard OF by thousands who for
years have imagined that most of them
had long since paid their last debt to

none was at one time more prominent
in war days than, when history was
made, than Hannibal Hamlin, OF Maine.
He is one Of the few men still living
who were conspicuous In the republican
party at the time Of its arst national
canvass, in 1856.
Forty-tive years have rolled away
since Mr.. Hamlin, then in his thirty
fourth year, was elected to congress
after having made an unsuccessful tight

DEPEW OUT OF THE RACE.
80 n Gentlemen I'm His Confidence IL
said TO Have Informed q Western
Delegate 10 Chicago.


ST. LOUIS June 1.-the Globe Democrat pub
lisnes the following this morning:
"Mr. Depew will not be a candidate. This ex-
ceedingly important declaration Is quoted from a
private letter just received from New York. The
letter Is addressed 10 gentleman who is one OF
tne Delegates at large from western state and
VINO Will be a prominent figure in the Chicago
convention. The announcement OF Mr. Depew's
conclusion Is from gentleman In his confidence,
and Is regarded by the recipient finally autnori-
tdtlVe. The letter was shown TO the correspOn-
deht OF The Globe Democrat yesterday, and TINS is
tne nrst publication OF its contents. The ex-
PLANTATION OF Mr.. Depew's position is this: He has
satisfied himself by careful inquiry that he Is not
the most available man for the party 10 nominate.
He believes that he could carry New York, but he
DelleseS that his record a railroad president
anu corporation lawyer might cost some North
western electoral votes. Having satisfied himself
on this score he counts himself out OF the list.
THE NEW YORK VOTE WILL BIZ DIVIDED.
The letter which contains this very interesting
DIT OF news also brings the Information that there
Is no likelihood OF the New York delegation acting
together In the support OF any one candidate
Assurances had been given Mr.. Depew OF nearly
the entire vote OF the New York delegation, but
now that he will not be before the convention all
the present indications are against concentra-
ton on any other man. IL is believed that Sher-
man VIII get a dozen votes out OF New York; that
Gresham will get fully as many. and that the re-
mainder will be distributed impartially.
HIsCrX WILL NOT GET MANY VOTES.
Hiscoek may get few complimentary votes on
the first ballot from the New York delegates, but
IL Is certain that he VIII not get the full vote OF
the state, or anything like II. The best in1orma-
tiOn that can be had points a scattering OF the
New York vote. Most OF the delegates from that
state are men entirely new in national conven-
tons. Indeed only thirteen OF the Seventy-two
were in the delegation four years ago. SIX OF the
thirteen Out-and-UuI Arthur men ana six Just as
loud for Blaine. The unlucky thirteenth cast the
solitary vote which was given To Bob Lincoln In
1854. IL seem 10 be pretty generally understood
that Warner Miller, who Is one OF the New York
delcgdtes-at-large, will De agreed upon Dy the
national committee for temporary chairman OF
the convention.

Red Hair and White Horses.
ORIGIN OF THE POPULAR SUPERSTITION As TO rHKIE

ORIGIN or THE POPULAR SUPERSTITION As TO THEIR
CoNTIGUITY.
From American Notes and Queries
The popular jest about the necessary contiguity
OF red-headed girls and white horses Is by no
means modern, though In its recent revival 1t has
swept over the country as a novelty. Some OF US
remember that our grandfathers used jocularly TO
assert II TO the wondering ears OF youth a we'll
attested fact. In all likelihood the saying took Its
origin In the old English game called sometimes
the game OF the road, but more often cups aod

ana travelling statesmen In Great Britain. one
party takes the up" side OF the street road, the
other the down." counting one for every ordinary
object and nve for white horse "a plebald count
Ing as Whitley until a certain number agreed upon
carries on the victory, but a red-heaoed woman
or donkey wins the game al once.
Another explanation refers the phrase to a North
OF Ireland superstition that the slg ht OF red
headed girl brings il-luck to the beholder unless
he retrace his steps 10 the starting point; but II
ne meets white horse at any stage on his back
ward progress the spell Is ipso Tdcto ayerted In
the midland counties OF England, on the other
hand, IL Is tl-luck TO meet white horse witho AZ

Ing cough Is suggested by current superstitlons.
The patient trudses along the road until he meets
a pleoad horse, and shouts out 10 the rider:
Hello, man on the pebald horse, what Is good for
the whooping cough?' and no matter how absurd
the remedy suggested he wlll certainly be cured.
In scotland TO dream OF q white horse fortells the
coming OF a letter.
The prejudice against red hair Is as widespread
and deep-rooted as IL is unaccountable. Tradition
assigns reddish hair To both Absalom and Judas.
