CUSTER AND HIS MEN.
He Was a Leader, Not Driver, and They
Would Follow Him Anywhere.

He Was a Leader, Not Driver, and They
Would Follow Him Anywhere.
Poor Custer" said one of his men,
81 followed him through great part of
the war as private soldier. followed
him afterward in various capacities
during his warfare on the frontier.
and no soldier of Clusters ever did more
than follow him. He was a leader of
his men-not a driver-a cavalier gen.
eral who asked no man to go where he
dare not take the lead, and as the dam
ger became greater Custer was sure to
be just SO much further in front of his
column. Tacticians had censured him
for that, and perhaps he would have
been with us to-day had he abandoned
it. But he was dashing soldier, and
would rather charge upon an enemy
outnumbering him twenty to one than
seek vantage ground or lay siege lie
believed it to be his busine IS to fight,
and he let but few opportunities go by,
provided he thought the enemy worth
his mettle.
Custer had the most unbounded
faith in the rank and file of his regi-
lAACllAs Ohb AiO hNFNA AtllQSNAt lAlC AtdSb
confidence in his subordinate officers.
He gave his personal attention to the
minutest details of his command, saw
that every trooper had his full allow
ance of rations and clothing, and saw,
too, that the men attended just as care
fully to the physical wants of their
horses. He would never take the word
of captain or lieutenant on such mat
tiers. For that reason the subordinate
commissioned officers hated him as
heartily as the men loved him. He in
sisted always on being absolute in his
command.
But how the boys loved that man!
Their devotion was fittingly illustrated
in an incident in the generals last
battle on the Little Big Horn. The
two hundred troopers knew they were
hopelessly outnumbered by an enc ~
better armed than themselves. Eight
cavalrymen broke through the Indian
lines and gained a neighboring bluff.
They were practically out of danger,
for the fine horses which the Seventh
were then equipped with could laugh
at the best Indian ponies. But they
halted on the bluff, and, looking back,
saw their leader hemmed in on all sides
by the savage enemy.
Zone of them said: Boys, we can't
do thisr land, alighting, he placed his
carbine against his horses head and
shot him dead. Then he quietly re-
leased his revolvers from the saddle,
and, thrusting them into his belt,
started down the slope. The remain
ing seven followed suit, and the little
band was annihilated in an attempt to
gain their leaders side on foot. All

FALLING IN BESIDE THEM.

We are falling in beside them
As the years rur swiftly on.
And the veteran ranks are thinner
AS we count the comrades gone,
Standing by the newmade crosses,
Planted in the fresh turned clay.
We are falling in beside them
For the last, grand muster day.
We are falling in beside them,
Not the solid lines OF blue
Not the old, impatient soldiers.
Who with loyal hearts and true
Stood beside US In the battle.
Breathed with US the lannon's breath.
Some have joined the sleeping army
In the biyouac of death.
We are falling in beside them
Every bright returning spring
There are newer mounds to cover
With our fragrant offering
When we take our places BY them
May the hearts that loved Us best
Scatter flowers in fond remembrance,
Where we find the soldiers rest
Soon Wen join the silent army
just little march away.
Soon Wen hear our marching orders
And like soldiers true, obey

SUPREME COURT DECIS-

There is no inherent right in Il
citizen to sell intoxicating liquors
by retail; it is not a privilege of
a citizen of State or of citizen
of the United States. As ii is Il
business attended with danger to
the community, it may, as already
said, be entirely prohibited or be
permitted under such conditions
as will limit to the utmost its
evils. s.-California VS.. Christensen.
No Legislature can bargain
away the public health or public
morals. The people themselves
cannot do it, much less their ser
wants. Government is organized
with view to their preservation,
and cannot diyest itself of the
power to provide for them.
Stone VS.. Mississippi.
For we cannot shut out of view
the fact, within the knowledge of
all, that the public health, the
public morals and the public safe
ty may be endangered by the gen
eral use of intoxicating drinks;
nor the fact, established by sta
tistics accessible to every one,
that the disorder, paupcrism, and
crime prevalent in the country
are, in some degree at least, trace
able to this vil.-Mugler VS..
Kansas.
The injury, it is true, falls up
on him in his health, which the
habit undermines; in his morals
which it weakens; in his self
abasement which it creates. But
as it leads to neglect of business
and waste of property and gen
cral Generalization, it affects
those who are immediately con-
nected with and dependent upon
him. By the general concur

there are few sources of crime
