A CHRISTMAS IN CAMP.

No better Illustration can he given Of
the way In which Uncle Sans soldiers
spend their Christmas than by relating
something which occurred In 1890 near
the garrison at the Rosebud Indian
agency In South Dakota. At the time
there were number " the troopers Of
the famous Seventh cavalry and some
OF one ~ the light batteries OF the Sec
ond artillery stationed there. They had
prepared to celebrate the day In good
style. As the country In that section In
exceedingly cold during the winter
months. there were no outdoor sports
with the exception ~ anowshoc race.
There were plenty of indoor games that
could have been enjoyed had circum-
stances permitted. and the msn had
prepared 20 enjoy the occasion to the
fun.
The men Of the artillery and cavalry
who were stationed near the Rosebud
agency had everything In readiness to
have n good time. when the red men on
the reservation began to show signs Of
unrest. which a few days later resulted
IN open conflict In which many % tho
bad Indians were made good ones by
being deprived N their lives and many
" our brave soldiers also passed over
the great divide.
The mess halls Of the Seventh cavai.

night In one Of the canyons near where
,he hostile Indians were supposed 10
