HAIR TURNED WHITE.
Chased by Indians and His COmpan-
ion Killed md Scalped.

Mr.. Andrew Lindsey who has lived near
Pease Bottom, Mont, for many years, was
stroIIing through the Cochran last night.
He was topped out in a sombrero, and had
western flavor to his speech. Said he:
mo, politics are quiet with US. we are all
OF US either democrats or republicans, but
none of US are just now bothering our heads
very much about it. We have had so much
politics in ours that we are taking a rest.
Well, no man ever applied to me in vain for
story. so here goes: L want to tell you a
gray In one whack. 1t was just after the
Custer massacre that an old fellow named
Pease-we caller him Mai. Pease. because L
believe he had been in the great and only
war of the rebellion-weil, he pressed for
ward several miles beyond the hog-back
where the famous fight took place. and
built stockade at what came to be called.
after him. Pease Bottom. He and his men
were carrying on a very thriving trade with
the redskins but at that time this business
had to be conducted with great caution, be-
cause the savages were ugly and scalp
hungry. Two miles from the stockaie was
high point. from which a survey OF the
country could be had for miles in all direc-
tons. A lookout was kept here for Indians.

demonstrations were at once reported to

to the observatory They were riding along
at gallop through the tall grass, and were
approaching the mouth of a little coulie
Edwards wasn't a tenderfoot, but he was
new conner in that region. As they careered
along, Mccormick said: Edwards what
would you do il the Indians should bounce
out OF that coulter Wen. I'D either fight or
run These words hadn't fallen from his
lips before bangi went rifle and war

from his horse, and Mac, hard pressed by a
band OF Blackfeet Sioux, made for the
stockade. The people there knew what was
up. and the pursuers were picked on as hey
came within range of the lead. The gates
were opened and Mccormick rushed in. His
hair was white. and has continued so. The
body OF Edwards was found lying in the
bloody and disordered grass, and the scalp
was missing. 1t was buried on the spot
and the legend OF Edwards Coulie Is one of
the best known in the far west. The folks
at the stockade put up a rude headboard
but this has long ago gone to decay

December Drifts.

December Drifts.
Cold cloudlets spot over the heavens,
Or hurriedly sail through the sky,
GrIm spectres that rise from the ether.
And leave dark shade they fly.
Far of on the hilltops swinging
Strong oaks to the rad-hytng breeze,
And the gate ut the yard goes tossing
About, like q ship, In high seas.
Soft sunshine crceps not through the window.
Nor sleeps on the breast of the stream.
All these have been courted by Summer,
And vanished away like u dream.
Jack Frost writes his fairy-like pictures
Across the clear light Of the pare,
As sit by the freside reading
The Past in Its beauty again.
The home Of my childhood uprises.
The green and the river so wide .-...
Where sunlight forever seemed painting ...-
The clouds Ger Its silvery tide. T3t

So fondiy days that are Ger:

Can ever their being restore.
The growth OF the soul is still onward.
As Time bears the hour-sands away
Yet who but delights to look backward
And see his own boyhood In IAay2
The drift Of the clouds in December,
The moan of the tempest at play
Are Wizards enough to send dreaming
The dullest of souls set In clay.

CHICAGO, Sept. %, 1893.
Editor Democrat Star:
But for the fact that lengthy delay
was caused by accident on the /. C..
the day we were to arrive in Chicago,
| would have fulfilled my promise of
sending you a few dots from the Win
dy City before now.
The Worlds Fair certainly deserves
all, and more than all the praise il
ever received. In proportions the
buildings are simply colossal, while in
stateliness and elegance they leave
nothing to be desired. Perfect order
and system reign everywhere. Every
thing has its own place, everybody
connected with it his own duty. and,
as a consequence, all goes along with
something like the smoothuess and
regularity Of the sOlar-system. You
can get anything you desire on the
grounds; from a good sandwich to
information concerning the minutpst
object contained in the great show.

myth and the stranger is met with
uniform consideration and cOurtii-
ness. | paid my first visit to the Wo-
mans Building. There you see SER
mons in laces, poems in flounces and
illusions in everything. II you have
any sceptic down there who doesn't
believe in the brain-pOwer and genius
OF womankind, send him to the wo.
mans building. He will O learn
that there are more things in needle
work than he ever dreamed of in his
philosophy. My next visit was to the
Fine Art Building. TO attempt any
thing like a description of either the
paintings or statuary would be to cs-
say the impossible. Whatever is
graceful in outline. grand in c0ncep-
ton, perfect in detail, you find here
carved in marble, hammered in brass
or illumined in cOlOrs. The LOCKER
on in Venice hardly knows in which
scale to pitch his heavier admiration
whether for Chicago or Chicago's
Worlds Fair. HonOrs are about
equally divided. The pluckicst, bold
