bonnets made brilliant picture in the bright
sunlight, while their waving loo ks as black as the
ravens wing, were waving in the air as they rode
rapidly to the advance, their faces full of the fire
and the spirit of the true Indian warrior.
One battalion of troops was detailed to rush down
the valley to stampede the herd that was then
quietly grazing IN apparent peaceful security, and
drive them beyond the reach of the Indians and
eventually round them up and bring them back in
the of the command This was accomplished,
and some eight hundred horses, mules, and ponies
were thus captured This set the Indians atOOt,
it called, or in other words, they were hope
essly dsmounted. The other battaions charged
up to near the body of Indians and, dsmounting,
fought foot, driving them back into small raVne,
and then surrounded them on all sides 1t was
desperate fight while it lasted Nearly hundred
Indians either killed or wounded, and between
thirty and forty officers and soldiers. Among the
number killed were Captain Hale and Lieutenant
Biddle two of the most gallant officers in the Amer
service and some of the best officers and soldiers
seriously wounded.
To have continued the contest would have re-
suited in still greater sacrifice on our part and
probably massacre of the entire Indian camp, in
Guiding men, women, and children. When it was
observed that their herd had been captured and
they driven into a close, ravine in open
country, the order Cease fring!" was sounded
by the headquarters bugler, and the situation was
thoroughly examined and considered. 1t was APP
parent that the escape of the Indians impossible,
and that it needed only patience and vigilance to
force their surrender This, however, required i've
days of ceaseess watching, during which there was
constant sharpshooting between the two forces.
During this time the troops were exposed to severe
cold 1t rained and then showed, and the ground
became covered with white mantle. Severe suf-
fering experienced not only by the troops &C
lively engaged, but particularly by the wounded,
whom it impossible to shelter properly. Still,
with a tenaclty most commendable, the troops
maintained their position, the Indians holding out
with the hope that some assistance would come to
them from the other tribes especially from Sitting
Bulls powerful body of Sioux Indians, who had
taken refuge north of the Canadian boundary the
year before, and known to be in full SYM
pathy with any band hostile to the white or the
ba about to be raed

and satisfaction it to discover that the supposed
formidable body of hostile Sioux, under the great
Chief, Sitting Bull proved to be large herd of
buffalos, driven south by the storm, slowly moving
the rolling prairie toward the ground then oc-
cuped by the two contending races!
During the desperate encounter referred to, the
head Chief, Looking Glass; who was man of
mature years and great authority and power
Indian leader, was killed by bullet
entering his forehead and five other of the prin-
cpal Chiefs fell beneath the destructive fire of the
soldiers, leaving Chief Joseph in control He was
natural leader of men, of fine, stawart, massive
frame tall and an unusually handsome Indian,
with large brilliant eyes, strong features, and in
every respect superior man. Several times, under
flag of truce, demand was made for the surrender
of the tribe but no definite action was secured until
the fifth day. OF course it took sometime to gain
the confidence of the Indians and to them
that they would not be subjected to massacre or
cruel treatment. We could only assure them that
as long they under control they would
be treated justly and fairly and that we believed
they would be sent back to the country whence
could guarantee. They were distinctly told that
whatever the authorities at Washington directed
would have to be carried out.
On the fifth day, standing between the lines under
flag of truce, Chief Joseph raised his hand and eyes
toward Heaven and in the most dramatic, dignifed
manner said, From where the sun now stands
will fight more!" and formally surrendered his
rifle and those of his followers and committed him
self and his tribe to the control of the military forces
then surrounding them. The solemn pledge thus
taken under the most tragic circumstances upon the
ground strewn with the bodies of dead men and
horses faithfully kept by that natural prince of
his and by his brave followers
| eXerted all possible influence to have the Nez
Perces returned to their native country and to re-
ceive just and humane treatment; but on the con-
trary, they sent down the Missouri River to
Kansas, camped for time the low marshy
grounds near the river, and thence taken to the
malaria district in the Indian Territory where fifty
per cent of their number died; and it not until
after years of urging and effort that l able to
have them sent back to Idaho where the remnant
of the tribe still remain, although Chief Joseph
has joined his ancestors in the happy hunting

the plain of hill and dale, of the outer
tinels reported large body of Indians slowly ap-
preaching. This report naturally caused the most
intense anxiety, especially in the mind of the
handing officer. 1t then question as to what
disposition could be made of the large number of
wounded officers and soldiers and how best to change
suddenly from the offensive to the defensive position
and maintain ourselves against the formidable body
of hostile Sioux which would largely outnumber the
troops then on the ground; and we Immediately

H(SN room window early on summer morning,
WaE you likely to see, perched on the out
HSAU side OF the screen, at least two three
HNSB@ mosquitoes of the masculine persuasion.
A5lM 1t is not a habit of theirs to enter human
SNNsS dwellings-simpy because they do not

waiting for the lady mosquitoes to come
out of the restaurant so to speak. One might
imagine them singing:
Here am waiting the screen

And any of might reply:
His wife she ate me!
AS matter of fact, however, the gentleman
quito cannot sing nOte-thls being another point
in which the female of his species has the advantage
of him. 1t is asked For what purpose is the vocaliza
ton of the lady insect intended The answer is that
it is undoubtedly to attract the male. Any notion
may have entertained to the effect that it is
meant to delight own ears with harmonious
sounds in the still watches of the night is mistake
Ears in His Whiskers
TN order that he may hear and enjoy the sweet
song of his mate, the gentleman mosquito is
provided with the highly developed whiskers afore
said, which are in reality auditory apparatus. Ex-
periments made not long ago which proved
that the hairs of these antenna, scientists call
them will vibrate sympathetcally in response
to certain musical notes. strung with tuning forks
This it is believed, is what happens when a lady
mosquito is in the neighborhood her song conveying
to the male in the manner described knowledge of
her nearness
curious fact is that mosquitoes of different species
sing in different keys. Thus the much dreaded
Anophees, which is solely responsible for the dis
tribution of malaria, pitches her voice much lower
than the yellow fever mosquito Stegomyla; so that

procures a supply of gore. He does feed upon the
juices of plants, and is often found reposing inside
of flowers, which afford sustenance adequate for
his purposes
The SO called bite of mosquito, however, is not
properly speaking bite at all, but sting. She is
provided with a beak nearly half as long as her
body which contains, neatly packed away,
derful little set of urgcal instruments nconceivaby
sharp. These consist of lance, far finer and sharper
than the smallest cambria needle, and four tiny
saws, with which she cuts the skin and the capillary
blood vessels lying beneath, to allow the blood
to flow freely. In addition to the stabber and the
saws there is a long grooved tool, down which flow
oily drops of poisonous fluid from the venom glands
to dilute the blood and make it pour out rapidly.
The venom glands two in number; and in
the back of the insects head is sort of bulb ap-
paratus, by which the blood is pumped up and into
operation is complete practically all of the poison
will be pumped out of the wound and the bite will
have merely the appearance OF small red punCture
without itching. But if slap destroys the creature
while she is engaged in the performance, not only
does less of the remain but the little
saws, each of which has forty-two serrations,
likely to be broken off beneath the skn remaining
to cause additional irritation.
He Doesn't Like Gore
TT is, however, not the lady mosquito who is under
l discussion here, but her mate. Certainly it is
matter for congratulatlOn that he is innocent of
appetite for gore, else might suffer much more
seriously than do. 1t is harmless existence
that he eadssave for the fact that he is responsible
for the perpetuation of pestlferous race-and in
asmuch as he does not enter houses rarely and
by accident, he is not in a direct way annoyance.
AS for mosquitoes in general it is not to be denied
that in one way they have an important usefulness
that is to say, in publication of standing water
Their Larvae feed exclusively upon decaying vege-
table matter, and thus act scavengers. If proof
of this is wanted place side by side two barrels of
water covered with gauze net and the other
uncovered. After few days the uncovered barrel
will be found full of "wiggers," but sweet; the
other will be loul and offensive to the smell.

the music of the is easily distnguishable from
that of the other. To the disturbed sleeper it is
gratifying of course to know just which disease is
threatening him at the moment but it seems likely
that this arrangement has important usefulness
enabling each gentleman mosquito to recognize the
call of the lady of his species.
The song OF the mosquito is produced not by her
wings, used to be imagined, but from her throat.
1t is true voice. She sings just as canary bird
sings. But even the volume of her voice depends
species of mosquitoes, like those found plenti

Never Has Square Meal
A MONG mosquitoes it would seem to be mis-
gentleman insect does not know what it is to get a
square meal during his entire lifetime. But it
should be realized that diet of blood is not neces-
sary to him, whereas it is something the female
cannot get along without. She is obliged to lay
eggs, and for them she must provide substantial
material 1t is for this reason, and not through
mere greed for gore, that she uses her lancet.
The lady mosquito lays upon the surface of still
water a boat shaped mass of eggs which weighs
something like one-fifth as much as her whole body
and the requisite material is furnished by a single
good sized drop of blood, which some human being
or other animal is expected to supply When
are bitten, therefore, have the satisfaction of
knowing that providing substance out of

Mosquitoes very ancient insects. They have
been found fosslllzed in rocks millions of years old
including species called Cule1 ddmndtorrpm (gnat
of the damned), which of extraordinary size.
In SO great length of time during which only the
females had any for blood the long disused bit

It is stated upon good authority
that many cotton mills have sold

in advance Oh a basis of is cents
for cotton. But of course as long
as farmers are willing to take

less-the mills will buyi it for less.
Who can blame them? You would

The present situation emphasizes
the need>of a well organized sys-
tenn for holding cotton, marketing

are willing to pay for it. AS long
