A BRAVE KENTUcKlAN's MONUMENT.
First Soldier to Lay Down His Life in
the Louisiana Purchase.

the Louisiana Purchase.
One of the last acts of the late Con-
gress was to authorize the Secretary
of War to erect at the expense of
$4,000 fitting monument over the re-
mains of Sergeant Charles Floyd, a
member OF the Lewis and Clark expe-
dition, who died August 90, 1904,
near the present site of Sioux City,
Iowa, and was the first soldier to lay
down his life within the Louisiana
purchase.
Sergeant Floyd was Kentuckian,
soldier in the First Regiment of in
fantry Of the regular army, of which
Captain Clark was an officer, and the
latter, writing of him, said: "His
father is man much respected, tho
possest of moderate wealth" In the
diary of Lewis and Clark under date
of August 90 it is recorded that after
q conference with an Indian warrior
named Stageaunja, which in English
means Great Blue Eye, "who begged
us to give them whisky, the Indians
mounted their horses and left us, hav-
ing received canister of whisky at
parting. Here we had the misfortune
to lose one of our sergeants, Charles
Floyd. He was yesterday seized with
bilious cholic, and all our care and
attention were ineffective to relieve
him. A little before his death he said
to Captain Clark: Il am going to leave
you His strength failed as he add
ed: Il want you to write me letter.
He died with composure which
justified the high opinion we had
formed of his frmness and good con-
duct. He was buried on top of the
bluff with the honors due to brave
soldier. The place of his interment
was marked by cedar post on which
his name and the date of his death
was inscribed. About mile beyond
the place to which we gave his rame
is river about thirty yards wide,
which we called Floyd's Creek"
The river still bears his name, as
you will see by reference to the map.
The bluff at Sioux City is still called
Floyd's bluff. His grave has been
protected all these years, and has
been a landmark in that country. 1t
is graceful act to erect a monument
in his honor.

Holding Himself HIGH.

The Chicago Post tells of doctor
who hurried into drug store. "I've
been called to attend the Croesus
baby" he said, "and I've given a pre-
scription that calls for nothing but
paragoric. When they send it over
here you must tell them it will take at
least an hour to put it up, and the
cost will be $3.50. That's the only
way to make them think I'm any good,
the medicines any good and you're
any good, and l want to keep their
buisenss."
