General Miles tells good
story Of the time when he was
pursuing Chief Joseph of the
Nez Perces among the Bearpaw
mountains. One night he and
his men stopped at some cabins
owned by woodchopperS who
were not disposed to be too
hospitable. Miles bunked with
the boss. a blunt Irishman who
showed that he would be glad
to get rid of his guest. Hoping
to create more friendly feeling
the general said in bantering
tone: well, Pat, anyhow you
would live a long time in Ire
land before you'd get chance
to sleep with a general" The
retort came on the instant,
And I'm thinking you'd be a
long time in Ireland before
they'd make we general"
