4 Singular Experience with ArapoO-
ish, n Chief of the Crows.
Arapooish, chief of the Crow Indians,
was a man of wonderful influence. In
"Bonneville's Adventures" an incident
is related showing his method Of re-
straining the evil propensities of his
braves Mr.. Robert Campbell, while a
guest in the lodge of Arapooish, had
collected large quantity Of furs and,
fearful of being plundered, had deposit
ed but part in the lodge. The rest he
buried
One night Arapooish entered the
lodge With cloudy brow and, turning
to Campbell said:
"Yon have more furs with you than
you have brought to my lodge?"

"Where are they?"
Campbell described the place.
d" 'Tis well, - said Arapoosh. "Yon
speak straight. But Your cache has been
robbed. Go and see how many skins
have been taken"
Campbell examined the cache and
estimated his loss to be about 100 Dea-
yer skins
Arapooish summoned his people, re-
preached them for robbing guest and
commanded that the skins should be
brought back For himself, he would
not eat or drink till all had been re-
stored.
Soon the skins began to come in.
They We're laid down in the lodge, and
those who brought them departed with

The Adynntage of One Eye,

During the late Spanish-American
war a certain old colonel who had lost
an eye at the battle of Gettysburg was
very indignant because he was put
aside as physically incapacitated, when
he applied for admission to one of the
New York volunteer regiments.
Filled with wrath and chagrin the
colonel journeyed to Washington, bent
on having personal interview with
the president. He succeeded in gaining
an audience, and the president, after
listening to his plea, said, kindly:
"But, my good Col. j, you have
only one eye"
Just SO, sii," was the prompt re-
ioinder, "but can't you see the great
advantage of my having only one eye?
When | aim my gun shan't have to
close the other!"

WAR SEEMS INEVITABLE.
Dispute Between the Beers and En-
glish Rapidly Ncars the Point Where
Cannon Must be Used.


Cannon Must be Used.
London, Aug. 22.-There is no long
er any doubt that President Kruger
has refused to submit to the demand
of Mr.. Chamberlain for the appoint
ment of court of inquiry. He may
have done so automatically or hedg-
ingly, But that his answer is regard
ed by the British government as tan
tamount to positive refusal is now
an established fact. The colonial of
flee is non-committal, but there are
other evidences which amply justify
the statement. The report that Presi-
dent Kruger has proposed new terms
is somewhat verified by the guarded
comment of the colonial Office officials
and the irritability displayed there.
There is not the slightest doubt that
they believe war is now the only way
to settle the controversy. They would
far rather have had curt, defiant
answer than the temporizing reply
which the Boer president has sent.
With the former Great Britain would
have plain ground for a quick COM
mencement of hostilities.
Under the circumstances which it is
believed now exist aggressive action
needs considerable explanation to JUS
tify it in the eyes of the world and
the English minority which still de-
clares that war would be an outrage.
However, if Mr.. Chamberlain has his

counter-proposals will meet with scant
attention, and unless the Beers conf
pletely back down, which is not like
ly, the crisis will quickly develop into
war It is gathered that the colonial
office has been aware of the nature of
the Transvaals reply for some DAYS
and that it was communicated to the
war Office, hence it is probable that
Great Britain will delay the denoue-
ment as little as possible.
A hign colonial official yesterday
frankly expressed his disgust at what
he terms "Kruger's cupidity and hy-
pocrisy." He said: "The kind OF
game which Kruger is playing must
be clear to Americans. The protes-
tations of the Beers that they wish
to live a quiet, agricultural life may
be the tune of some on the veldt, but
the gang in Pretoria is simply after
money. Though Kruger says many
harsh things of the outlanders, he
never hesitated to make money out
of them, either by fair or foul means
This Transvaal question cannot be
judged by recent occurrences. You
must go back 80 years. 1t has been
hanging fire all that time and the
sooner it is settled now the better"
Though the official did not actually
say so, it was clear that he believed
war was the only method of settle.

COLOR BEARER AT SHILOH.
Cive Times Wounded and Left for
Dead on the Field, Hut Il
still Alive.

Extract from the advanced sheets
of '.War "reminiscences" by Justice
Jarvis Blume, formerly of the Second
Kentucky volunteer infantry.)
After the terrible battle (of Shiloh)
was over and the bloody results esti-
mated, one of those who were miss
ing was the color sergeant of the bri-
gade, George Berz, of the First Ken
lucky regiment. He was tall, splen-
didly built young man, with a resolute
countenance, piercing dark eyes-a
magnificent specimen of physical man
hood. He was German by birth. The
tall form of Sergt. Berz was at all times
picturesque figure on the march, in
the camp, or amid the smoke of battle;
and by reason of his prominence as the
color-bearer, he was, of course, a con-
spicuous object in the center of the
line.
In about the first onslaught by the
confederates on our lines George Berz
fell wounded, as has since been ascer-
tained, in five places. A portion of his
right foot was shot away; he was
wounded in the right wrist; he was
shot entirely through the left breast
just above the heart Qiterally pierced
through and through, and shot in the
calf of the leg. With these frightful
wounds upon his person he fell and in
the confusion of battle was, as it was
reported at the time, left for dead on
the field.
His conduct at all times prior to this
battle was manly and courageous in the
face of danger, and it was common talk
among the leaders of the division who
referred proudly to the heroic gal
lantry cf the color sergeant.
shared the belief with many in my
regiment that he never survived the
battle of Shiloh, and, strange as it may
seem, for over two years thereafter
ward, after muster out and 28 subse-
quent years, never knew that George
Berz had survived the battle and was
in the land of the living. But such
was the fact. This / learned by very
curious accidental conversation as late
as the year 1890. About this time, while
casually conversing with a gentleman
in Chicago, several persons standing
about and listening to us, was asked
if had been in the service. replied:
"Why, yes, was all through the
war" When asked what regiment ]
belonged to, I replied; "The Second
Kentucky volunteer infantry, of Gen
Nelson's division" With manifest
show of excitement this man said
"My God, is that so? The Second
Kentucky infantry? Why, belonged
to the First Kentucky and was with
you at Shiloh"
l looked him over increduously and
like fash of lightning, it came to my
mind that the speaker YVES George Berz
whom had known for number Of
years in Chicago as prominent poll
tician and at that time the postmas
ter of West Chicago, with whom | came
almost within daily contact for mum
ber of years, was the identical person
and none other than the heroic color
sergeant whom ] certainly believed w
had left dead on the battle field. 1t i!
