fought close in, as the Romans fought,
and the conflict was usually short and
decisive.
Seeing the Sioux determined. and
desperate. the captain ordered his men
to charge, and leaping to their feet,
the scouts advanced at run, firing as
they went. Many of the warriors were
swept back by the charge. but others
came up out of the dark river to take
their places. Our men rushed right
upon the bank of the stream, firing
the lead into the Sioux as they came
swarming I'D from the river.
when the scouts had emptied their
rifles and pistols and dubbed their
guns. Many of the Sioux were now
gaining the level ground above the
bank where the fight was raging. Only
the great advantage our men held
being able to engage the Sioux before
they could get to their feet or use their
guns-gave us hope But, as the en-
envy grew still more numerous with
each passing moment, the scouts real
lied that the struggle must be short
and bloody, and they fought with the
desperation of men making a last
stand at the door of death.
Day was dawning rapidly now, and
the scouts, observing that the stream
of Sioux was pouring into the center
of our line, and that the extreme right
and left had little to do, began to close

fights that the men seemed, when once

little while the scouts had formed
solid line along the bank, while those
not engaged there fought and usually
finished the Sioux who succeeded in
gaining the level plain. Some were
slaughtered and others were forced to
leap the bank and rejoin their COM

and began to retreat. By this time it

A Garter Show.

Society having tired of everything
else, is now proposing a garter show in
the Casino at Newport. This will be
novel and interesting affair if carried
out on the lines suggested by the young
women, married and unmarried, who
are responsible for it's inception.
Sweet Charity" the mother of so
many social sins, is the apology and
excuse for the garter show. Each
woman in the plot is expected to fur
nish one of her own carriers. The lot
will be numbered and the men who pay
to see the exhibits may vote for that
which they most admire for size, shape,
style, decoration, color or cost. Every
effort will he made to prevent identi-
fication Votes may be purchased
without limit il blocks of 100. If any
woman is so unfortunate as to have
her garter identified she forfeits $50
The garter receiving the highest num-
Der of votes is to be sold for sweet
Charity" and the purchaser will be re-
quired to wear it at the next Casino
hop. This will be the beginning of the
American Order of the Garter. All
Newport is in litter, and staid
matrons are trying to stop the fun.
