and men asked but one question, and
that was: will Gen. Miles lead us p
And when they were informed that
Miles would be with us, there was no
hesitation, no doubt, no questioning,
but every man felt assured that vic
tory would result, and we were never
disappointed. Our commander chal-
lenged admiration for his activity and
gallant leadership. He always led us
in every fight. He never sought to shield
himself. He is absolutely without fear
of anything mortal. In the Nez Perces
campaign officers begged him not to
expose himself, because there was a
general dread that all might be massa-
cred if he should fall.
"Gen Miles always dressed in pic
turesque style when on the frontier. He
wore a broad so1abrero, blue shirt, red
tie, buckskin coat and trousers, fringed,
with belt around his waist in which
We're pistols and large knife. He was
as well equipped for personal struggle
and danger as Buffalo Bill or any other
ranger. He is one of the bravcst of the
brave, and have seen him under fire
with his officers and men; always cool,
always aggressive, and ready for every
emergency. --
"Just after the Custer massacre Gen.
Miles took 225 men and went after Sit
ting Bull and Crazy Horse, who, with
5000 bucks, had settled down for the
winter. That was daring undertake
ing, but. Gen. Miles captured those In
dams who at that time regarded them
selves invincible.
GAS an illustration of his carefulness
and keenness in dealing with the Indi-
ans, you might mention the peace talk
which he had with Sitting Bull at Cedar
creek. The willy and dangerous Sioux
leader sent flag of truce for the pur-
pose of arranging terms of capitula-
ton. Gen. Miles and Sitting Bull were
to meet midway between the lines of
Sioux and the Fifth infantry, and have
nice quiet little peace talk. Accord
ing to the plans they met and held a
conference. Within few moments d
big Sioux buck sauntered out toward
the general and chief, and came very
close to them. At the same time, by
a previous order issued by Gen. Miles,
one of the infantrymen sauntered out,
and also approached the parleying COM
manders. Then another Indian quietly
sauntered forth, and at the same time
one of the infantrymen initiated him.
This continued until there were six
Sioux bucks and six infantrymen sur
rounding Gen. Miles and Sitting Bull.
Gen. Miles then said: You are bad
Indian. All of your bucks here are
armed. They have weapons under their
blankets. You intended to kill me here
in cold blood. If any one of your men
pulls trigger one of my men will kill
you right in your tracks, The old
chief had no desire to go suddenly to
the happy hunting grounds, and warned
his men to return to their places. One
by one they retired, and one by one
the infantrymen returned to their
ranks.

come over TO see us, an told us Of a
plan it seems had been in his head for
some time. He'd gone right on with
his work, jest the same, an lived at
home, though it was awful lonesome for
him, of course, an he looked as if he'd
grown ten years older.
wall, he was uncommonly well-to-
do, as folks go here. His father'd
left him good property, an his wife
some more, an then he'd always had
good practice; an now he said that
he'd made up his mind to take some of
his money an found a home for little
children here, if Edward an Sophie
Ann would come an run it. An he
said he'd call it The Gyringa Home
1t does make pretty name, don't it?
"Wali, at first they thought they
couldn't, nohow Sophie Ann said
she couldn't leave me; but jest told
her that now that my arm was all right
ag'in, 1 was good for more'n one ten
years, yet. So the more they thought
of it the better it looked, an finally
they said they'd go. The doctor
bought the Hopkins place-you know
where that was-an' fixed it up, an
they went there the next summer, an
now it's as nice place as you ever
see. Doctors pays 'em regular salary,
more'n they could have got on a farm.
Edward runs the farm-theres quite
lot Of land on the Hopkins place-an'
helps about the house, too; an Sophie
Ann has good girl to help her.
They've got six little ones there now,
an in the course of the three wears
they've had a lot more that they've
found good homes for. They take 'em
from anywhere, where they re sure it's
4 needed, all they can take care Of; an
Sophie Ann's happier than l ever ex-
| pected to see her, an I'm grandmarm
to the whole lot.

be sure an come over to-morrer an see
Josiah, won't you? He'll be powerful

now, won't you?'
When I went back to the hotel L
walked around past the Hopkins place.

and the grounds made more attractive.

precision and celebrity that Chief Jo-
seph was outwitted and outgeneraled
with such dazzling quickness that he
uttered the remark above quoted.
Coming from man of the undoubted
ability of Joseph, I have always re-
garded that remark as one of the great
est compliments that has ever been paid
to Gen. Miles as ali Indian fighter.
"Grover Cleveland was president
when Gen. Schotield retired. Do you
know that there are no two men in this
republic who ought to have greater adj
miration for each other than EXPIRES
iuent Cleveland and Gen. Miles. Their
lives have been parallel in civil and
military life.
while Grover Cleveland was a poor
boy, sweeping the Office for Lawyer
Bowers, in Buffalo, Nelson A. Miles was
a poor boy clerIing in a store in Boston.
Grover Cleveland possessed exceptional
ability and sturdy qualities, and Law
yer Bowers took him into his home and
into his Office and encouraged his early
struggles. Using military terms, I may
say that Grover Cleveland passed
through all grades of promotion in civil
life, just as Gen. Miles has passed
through all the grades of promotion ir
military life. Just as the poor boy in
Buffalo was entering upon the practice
OF the law, the poor boy in Boston was
entering upon the military profession
Strangers to each other, they were

THAT'S Who'll

Who hypnotized me with her ways
Until my heart was all ablaze
With love, and every nerve appeared
To be, like lightning, double geared?
Lucinda.
Who listened to my earnest pleas,
And warmed toward me by degrees
Until she called me Sam, and said
I'd sort O. turned her little head?
My sweetheart.
Who let me kiss her one sweet night,
Beneath the moons white metal light,
And said she'd ever cling to me
AS clings the bark unto the tree?
My betrothed.

Dressed in the trappings of bride,
And said again and yet again

Upon her face vicious frown,
And If to answer her dare
Entwines her fingers in my hair?
Same girl.
