NOT SURE OFT HIMSELF.
Indian Curley, Who Claimed to Bo
Only Survivor of Custer Massacre.

The Custer battlefield is close to
the Crow agency. In a desire to know
all that 1 could, at close range of
the tragedy of the Little Big Horn, I
spent many days in going over the
battlefield foot by foot, from where
the troops left the Rosebud to the
ridge where the men had made their
last stubborn fight, says a writer in
Scribner's White marble slabs mark
the spots where they fell. In most
cases the slabs are in twos, side by
side. Strange how it is when it comes
to the final end, we reach out for hui
man companionshfp. There they made
their last earthly stand, bunkie by
bunkie.
Among the dozens of Indians l
questioned of the fight was Curley,
who is so often called the sole sur
vivor of the Custer fight. He has
been so bullied, badgered, questioned.
cross-questioned, leading-questioned,
and called by mouth and in type, a
coward and liar by an endless horde
of the curious and knowledge seeking
that 1 doubt to-day, if his life de-
pended upon it, he could tell whether
he was ever at or near the Custer
fight.

Lafayette Haunted Liberty Medal In
Face of Louis.

Shortly after Lafayette's return to
America, he was at Versailles, where
the king was about to review a divi-
sion of troops. Lafayette was asked
to join in the review.
He was dressed in the American uni
form, and was standing by the side of
the Prince de Condo, when the king,
in his tour of conversation with the
officers, came to him, and, after
speaking on several topics, asked him
some questions about his uniform and
the military costume of the United
States. The kings attention was at.
tracted by a little medal attached to
the generals coat, and he asked what
it was
Lafayette replied that it was sym.
Dol which it was the custom of for.
eign officers in American service to
wear, and that it bore device.
''And what is the device upon
yours?" asked the king.
MY Device" said the young gen
era1, pointing to his medal, sis lib

and scepter."
The king smiled, and with some
pleasantly upon the republican pro
pensities of a French Marquis in

A MILITARY FAMILY.
Four of Ten Persons Buried in One
Plot Served the United States.

OF the ten persons buried in one of
the family plots in Trinity cemetery,
at One Hundred and Fifty-third street
and Broadway, New York city, four
were in their lifetime identified with
the military or naval service of the
United States, and three of them died
as a result of this service. Few of
those who pass the spot know this fact
or have an opportunity to learn it, for
the graves are marked only with abb
breviated headstones bearing the
initials of the persons whose dust lies
beneath them, and the only conspicu-
GUS characteristic of the monument
which stands in the center of the plot,
with it's head buried in the low canopy
of foliage that shelters it from sun
and rain alike, is mitre in bas relief.
This does not suggest militant fam
lily, but if one were not prohibited by
the rules of the cemetery from walk
ing around to the south side of the
stone one would find that inscribed
there were the names and records of
those descendants of the wearer of the
mitre lying in the plot who gave up
their lives for their country. That face
Is a sort of tablet of honor. 1t is so full
that not another name could be added,
although there are still other de-
scendants not buried there whose
names might fittingly be carved
upon it.
The plot is that of the Very Rev. DR..
Jonathan Mayhem Wainwright, who
was appointed to wear the mitre of
the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of
New York in 1852 as the successor of
Bishop Onderdonk, and his descend
ants. Two of his descendants lost
their lives while in the navy and two
while in the army, while a fifth is now

daughter and wife of Col. Henry c.

than Mayhem Wainwright, a son of the
commander and grandson of the bishop,
lie in the plot. Capt. Robert P. P.
Wainwright, another grandson and a
brother of the ensign, is buried else
where. His son is at West Point.
Commander Wainwright was killed in
an action with the confederates near
Galveston early on the morning of jan
uary 1, 1868, while in command of the
gunboat Harriet Lane. AS COM
mander of the Lane he had taken part
in the captures of New Orleans and
Vicksburg.
His son, the third to bear the name
of Jonathan Mayhem, entered the
naval academy about the time of his
fathers death. He died in 1870 when
only 81 years old, from wounds re-
ceived in an action with pirates near
San Bias, Mex
Maj. Wainwright was a surgeon in
the army. He died in 1863 at New Or
leans of fever caught there. Amelia,
the daughter, died at Fort Wallace
Kan, shortly after the close of the
war, at the age of 80 years.
Capt. Robert p. P. Wainwright was
an officer in the regular army, being
a graduate of West Point, which he
entered about the time of his brothers
death. He took part in the Indian
campaigns in the west, and was brevet-
ted a first lieutenant for gallant serv-
ice against the Indians at the Umatil-
Ia agency, Oregon, and as a captain
in the First cavalry participated in
the battles around Santiago in the
Spanish-American war. He was aft
erward sent to the Philippines, where
he died as result of sickness growing
out of his Cuban and Philippine cam
paigns. A sister is Miss Marie Vain
wright, the actress.
Another grandson of the bishop also
named Jonathan Mayhem Wainwright,
who is a lawyer at No. 40 Broadway,
has also displayed evidence of the
militant strain in the family He
Joined the Twelfth regiment, N. G. N
Y, in 1889 He volunteered for serv-
ice in the Spanish-American war, and
went in command of a company, but
got no further than a camp in the
south. He resigned his commission as
lieutenant commander of the Twelfth
regiment in 1905.

tionship with Capt. Richard Vain

RIGHT HOME.
Doctor Recommends Postum from

No one is better able to realize the
Injurious action of caffeine-the drug
in coffee-on the heart, than the doc

When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving of coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:

gard to that excellent preparation

nervous heart trouble for over 10
years, and part of the time was unable

did not think drinking it hurt me. But
ON stopping it and using Postum in
stead, my heart has got all right, and
I ascribe it to the change from coffee
to Postum
Il am prescribing it now in cases OF
ickness, especially when coffee does
not agree, or affects the heart, nerves
or stomach.

better flavor than coffee, and is vital
