Major GeuersI Miles Thrilling Encounssu
with Lame Deer.


with Lame Deer.
Probably the closest call General
Miles ever had in all his experience as
an Indian fighter was that in his en-
counter with Lame Deer. 1t was in
1877, when he was still a colonel, dur
ing his campaign against the Sioux and
other hostile tribes In the northwest
Lame Deer and his outlaws had been
making trouble in Dakota, and Colonel
Miles raided their village. BE tells the
rest of the story in his personal recollec-
tons thus:
''In the surprise and excitement Of
the wild onset of the charge a group of
warriors was forced away from the rest.
Before making the attack / had ordered
our Sioux and Cheyenne Indians to call
out to the Lame Deer Indians that if
they threw down their arms and sur
rendered we would spare their lives As
we galloped up to this group of warriors
they apparently recognized the purport
of the demand and dropped their arms
on the ground In order to assure them
of our good will I called ont, "How
how-knla'' (meaning friend), and ex-
tended my hand to the chief, Lame Deer,
which he grasped, and In afew seconds
moro I would have secured him and the
others, as, although he was wild and
trembling with excitement my adju-
tant, George W. Baird. was doing the
same with the head warrior, Iron Star.
Unfortunately just at that time one
Of our white scouts rode mp and Joined
the group of officers and soldiers with
me. he had more enthusiasm than dis
erection and, presume, desired to insure
my safety, as he drew up his rifle and
covered the Indian with it. Lame Deer
saw this and evidently thought the
young scout was going to shoot him.
know OF no other motive for his subse-
quent act than the belief that he was tC
be killed whether he surrendered or not.
As quick as thought, with one des-
perate, powerful effort, ne wrenched his
hand from mine, although tried tx
hold Il, and grasped his rife from th'
ground, ran backward few steps, rails
ed his rife to his eye and fred. Seeing
his determined face, his set jaw, wild
eye and the open muzzle Of his rifle,
realized my danger and instantly whirl
ed my horse from him, and in this quicl
movement the horse slightly settled bacl
upon his launches At that moment tn
rifle flashed within ten feet of me, TIT
bullet whizzed past my breast, leaving
me unframed, but unfortunately killing
q brave soldier near my side"
Naturally the whole scattered ban'
Of Indians was instantly wiped out by
close and deadly fire from the soldiers

Japanese Commercial Morality Said - BE
Below Par.
It has long been known 70 those who
had dealing with the Japanese that
commercial morality In Japan stands
almost on the lowest plane possible 20
civilized people. With few exceptions
even those Japanese who prove esttmA-
BILE and high minded in ali other matters
are not to be trusted In business trsnsac-
ton. In Japan the man who fails to
take advantage Of his neighbor in bar
gain Is looked upon as q fool The ex-
nlanation Of this state Of things given
bv Robert Young, who edits Kobe pa
rer il that merchants in Japan have
hitherto occupied the lowest rung on the
social ladder, being deemed inferior tc
the tllers Of the soil and but little above

recent period trader was but another
name for trickster and the pursuit d
commerce was held to argue lack O
integrity.

While blue is pre-eminently and over
whelmingly the masculine favorite, it
is by no means so general a feminine
favorite. The favorite woman's color,
standing at the head of the female list,
IS red Roughly speaking, Of every 80
masculine votes 10 would be for blue
and for red, while of every 80 femi-
nine votes 4 would he for blue and 8 for
red Red and blue are thus much more
nearly equally popular among women
than among men Other relatively
marked masculine preferences are for
the colors related to blue blue violet
and violet), and other feminine prefer
ences are for lighter red Cor pink and, to
less extent, for green and yellow
Further, men confine their selections to
relatively fewer colors than do women,
and. finally, while all men and women
alike are much more apt to choose a
normal than a transitional color and a
darker than a lighter shade, yet the tend
ency to do SO (about the same in the
former direction) is markedly different
in the latter respect. OF IL men 10 would
choose among the darker colors and only
2 among the lighter for the most pleas
ing color, while of 10 women would
choose among the darker and among
the lighter shades. Professor Jastrow

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease. requires a con-
stitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter-
ually, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfscee Of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu,
