Entitled to a Choice.

Mrs. Custer says in HaTper'S Bazaar
that she was with the Seventh cavalry
that marched and camped and secuted
on the route laid out for the Kansa
Pacific railroad. The food was monot~
onous and those on the march over the
barren country would tell tantaliztng
tales of the good things they had eaten
in the states. The habit of hospitality
was so fixed, however, that the soldiers
would merely add a plate for the Wis
itOr, or give up their own if there were
not enough. An old officer in crossing
the plains, invited another officer 10
dine with him, not knowing that his
supplies were so low. The striker
put the only two dishes on the mess
