AWED BY THE CROSS
SAVAGE INDIANS RESPECTED
SYMBOL OF CHRISTIANITY.
Cruclfix on Breast Of Young lrishman
Who Fell with Custer Was Means
of Saving Body from
Mutjlation,

The following story Of the Custer
battle-ground was told to the writer By
one who received 1t from an eye-wit
ness of the scene described-a witness
who, indeed, had fatal interest in the
field, since he himself had lost his ia
ther in that last heroic stand Of Custer
and his men.
Among the soldiers who were en-
gagged in fighting the indians, in the
campaign of which the Custer episode
forms a part, were two young Irish
men who had been In the Papal Guard
at Rome. Before they left for America,
the pope had given them his blessing
and presented each of them with g
gold cruciflx upon which the mystic
beneficence of his prayers had fallen.
One of these young men was with
Custer when the general and all his
followers went down before the Zero,
cons onslaughts of the Indians. The
ocher was with the COM ~ which
was the first to arrive upon the field.
The scene of the battle was inde.
enriAG0ly horrible. The CHASTITY nude
bodies of the dead lay about in a man
ne. to sicken the soul. They lad been
stiipred scalped and mutilated &C
ccrsing to the custom of the savages,
The young Irishman wandered hope
lessly about in this fearful charnel
Pace in despair Of finding his friend.
~ at once he discovered body
neither scalped nor stripped but with
IT, limbs decently composed as If by
+ kindly hand. He recognized 1t as
tat CT his comrade On the quiet
breast lay the gold crucifiX of the
r"pa. attached to the slender chain
en- which it had always been worn.
The squaws engaged in stripping
the bodies had discovered the holy
emblem hung about the young mans
neck. and awed at the sight of it, had
feared to wreak their usual horrors
upon him. They had Strengthened
his limbs and left him without the dis
f~I.ing marks of the tomahawk.
The friend of the dead man took the
cruelty and a lock of his comrades
hair and sent them to the young mar
yrs mother In Ireland.
Il Was said by those who looked on
that he Indians who spared the
corpse because of the crucifix must
lave been those who had come under
TIE training of the famous Father De
:inet, since he had given the savages
among whom he worked such a deep,
though ignorant, reverence for the
cross, that they would never dare to
maltreat body on which it was found

shall We Put aswank" on tho LIst2


Every now and then we hear used
the word "swank," and It must be ap-
propriately, for 1t seems to match the
situation. But few there are who I'M
derstand its precise meaning. The
London Globe, however, comes to
their relief, for 1t says that "swank" is
called bluff by Americans, and until
some genius presented the British ma
ton with the other word bluff" suf-
feed. "Swanking is the gentlests Of
all arts. It relies for its success al
most entirely on amiability Of de-
meanor. A man may smile and smile,
and be a swanker. In fact, he has
got to. II he is not cheerful and at
tractive, he cannot swank, for the
swankee, repealed, edges away, thus
rendering his swanking null and void.
It is the wide, CHEEKY smile, the
hearty back slap, and the general ac-
quiescence that makes the swanker."
Is It worth while admitting the word
to the vocabulary?

What becomes of all the money

now puzxling France because OF re-
port by M. Arnaune, director OF the
mint, published recently. This docu-
ment asserts that 8,293 100000 francs
($1 1,65S, 500. .o00) OF coined money has
disappeared from circulation in the
last hundred years.
The present gold coinage Of France
dates back to 1903, the silver pieces
to 1896, copper to 1852. They began
to make nickel coins In 1908. In the
century from 1909 to 1903 there was

More than half OF this has disap-
peared. Estimates of the money In
actual circulation in France have been
made by the state In 1878, 1885, 1891,
1887 and 1903. Correcting the latest
Of these by comparison with the 9TH
ers the conclusion is that there is in
circulation 6,990,000,000 francs, leav-
ing S,293. 100000 francs unaccounted
for.
Various theories are advanced to &C
count for this discrepancy. Part OF
the loss Is doubtless due to use the
precious metals In the arts. Part ID
due to great calamities-fires and ship

by exports of gold.
