His Hair Turned White.

Andrew Lindsey, who has lived near
Pease Bottom, Montana, for many
years, was strolling through the
Cochran. He was topped out in
sombrero, and had Western flavor
to his speech. Said ha; want to

was turned gray in one whack. It
was Just after the Custer massacre that
an old fellow named Pease-we called
him Major Pease, because I believe he
had been in the great and only Civil
War-well, he pressed forward 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 very thriving
trade with the redskins, but at that
time this business had to be conducted
with great caution, because the
savages were ugly and scalp hungry.
Two miles from the stockade was a
high point, from which survey of the
country could be had for miles in all
directions. A lookout was kept here
for Indians, and suspicious circum-
stances or warlike demonstrations
were at once reported to headquarters.
One afternoon in the summer a man
named Paul Mccormick and his
partner, named Edwards, we're sent
out to the observatory. They were
riding along at gallop through the
tall grass, and were approaching the
mouth of little coulie. Edwards
wasn't tenderfoot, but he was a new
conner in that region. AS they
careered along, Mccormick said:
Edwards, what would you do if the
Indians should bounce out of that
coulie?" "Well, I'd either fight or
run" These words hadn't fallen from
his lips before bang went rifle and

A Peace. Argument of Military Science.

The trite saying that a great war

greater significance than ever by the
descriptions of the new field piece of
the German army. This is pronounced
the most terribly destructive engine of
war ever produced, and is three

in one-third of the time required for
the old gun, and with almost double
the effect and precision. Explosive
shell is the only projectile. This is
charged with a new powder of secret
composition that scatters thousands of
splinters over a circle of 900 feet,
