The soldiers passed on and the review began.
but out on the hills the Indian sentinels still
stood. and between the marching whites and the
village were the long lines of braves still sus-
picious and still ready to give their lives for the
women and children In the heart of the valley.
What review was that on the snow-covered
South Dakota plains that January morning Is
years ago! Gen. Miles on his great black horse
watched the 5000 soldiers pass soldiers that had
stood the burden of battle and the hardships of a
winters campaign and had checked one Of the
greatest Indian uprisings of history.
The First infantry, led by Col Shafter, who aft
erward was in command in front of Santiago, was
there that day. Guy v. Henry. now lying In peace
full Arlington cemetery, rode at the head of his
black troopers the buffalo soldiers of the Sioux
Capt Allen w. Capron there with the battery
that afterward opened the battle at Santiago.
The Seventh cavalry there, two of its troops,
B and X having barely enough men left In the
ranks to form platoon
These two troops had borne the brunt of the
fighting at Wounded Knee a month before when
80 men Of the Seventh fell killed or wounded be-
fore the bullets of the Sioux. When the two
troops with their attenuated ranks rode by the
reviewing general removed his cap an honor 9TH
erwise paid only to the colors of his country.
The column filed past, broke into regiments,
then into troops and companies, and the word of
dismissal was given. The Indian sentinels on the
RIDGES signaled the camp in the valley. In anoth-
er minute there was stampede, but 1t was only
that of the thousands Of Sioux ponies turned
loose and eager to get back to their breakfast
OF bunch grass on the prairies.
Two Strike. the Sioux watched the review that
day Old Two Strike was one or the warriors
who went out with following of braves on the
warpath the month previous. Two Strike wore
no ghost shirt. He was above such superstition
even though he took no pains to urge his com
rades to follow his shirtless example
Two Strike was glad of the craze that had
brought war. for he hated the whites harder than
he hated anything on earth except the Pawnees,
the hereditary enemy of his people. Two Strike
knew in his soul that the buffalo were not coming
back as the medicine men had declared, and that
no Messiah was to be raised to lead his people
against the pale faces to wipe them from on the
face of the continent What he dd know was
that he was to have one more chance to strike
at the encroachers on the lands of his people BE-

ing in from the warpath. The Sioux
surrendered to Gen. Miles in Janu-
airy, 1891. but they came very near,
q few days after the surrender, to
the point of breaking away once
more. The story Of It is this:
Gray dawn was breaking at the
Pine Ridge agency when an Indian
runner broke headlong into the vii
7age OF the surrendered Sioux. He
stopped at the tepees of the prin-
cfpal warriors long enough to shout
q message. and then leaving the
camp where its end rested against
an abrupt hill, he made his way with
. plainsman's stealth to the group of
agency buildings, circiing which and
extending beyond, browning ridge

tents of the soldiers.
Breakfast was forgotten in the
troubled camp of the Sioux. The
chiefs and the greater braves rushed

stood waiting with logged patience
In the village streets.
The council was over. An old chief
shouted word of command that was

might have learned lesson from
that which followed the short, sharp
order. Mounted men shot out from

GREATEST DRY FARMING CONGRESS
EVER HELD COMES TO CLOSE TO-DAY

Cheyenne. Wyo.. Feb. 25-The
Trausmlsouri Dry Farming Con-
gress. which has been in session here
since Tuesday, will bring TO a close
today the most successful convention
in its history Addresses have been
made by many agricultural experts
at which new light has been thrown
upon the subject Of the reclamation
OF the semi-arid regions Of the West
by dry farming processes. In addi-
ton. many practical farmers have
told Of their experiences in attempt
ing to make the western desert bios
som as the r0se-an attempt that has
met with greater or lesser success
in different sections and under vary
ing conditions.
Despite many failures, the "dry
farming" process may now be said
to be a success, although the delega-
tes 10 the convention here depreciate
the wild and extravagant claims that
are made for it by some wildcat real
estate companies.
According to experts. over most Of
the territory west Of the 99th meri-
dian there has been 80 per cent. Of
rainfall above the normal for the last
three years. The soil is rich, most Of
1t, at least. Some OF it is very easily
titled, some Of it IS Of adobe forma-
ton. which is a hard soil 10 manage
and should never be plowed at all.
The whole country from the national
boundary 20 and including the Pan
handle Of Texas has been exploited
for the last three or four years by
companies more or less closely affiliat-
ed with the railroads who have pur-
chased their grants and have pro-
claimed far and wide the doctrine
that rain follows the plow; that the
east is moving west, and they are
selling these lands. pleading that a
homestead can be secured alongside at
from 10 $40 an acre. They secure
about a third payment down, which is
about the original cost Of the land
and take mortgages running at s per
cent. interest for the balance.
While experts believe that it is pos
sible and even probable that the pre-
sent rate Of rainfall will continue, it Is
admitted that should it return to nor
NAL the result would be disastrous to
the agricultural population. Such be-
ing the case, improved processes Of
"dry farming" are necessary to the
preservation Of western prosperity,

and the congress will do all in its
power to educate the farmers TO the
necessity Of a knowledge of such pro-
cesses. The board or control. a new
body, and the congress itself work
ing together. have undertaken to issue
publications to farmers giving all in
formation about scientific farming
possible to assemble; to organize a
bureau Of information, publish maps,
and, in fact, TO carry on a great CO.
operative school for farmers and ex-
perts during the next few years.
A few years ago so-called "dry-
farming" began to attract attention.
Many farmers had been securing
splendid results without irrigation, but
there existed a general belief that
such results were but the result Of
cleverly manipulated small tracts.
and that no real significance attached
10 these Isolated instances.
Meantime Prof. H. NJ Campbell Of
Nebraska had been conducting a Sc
ries Of experiments along scientific
lines, and had succeeded in making
tests and getting crops that proved
something tangible in the way of ar
gument. These results became known
TO ]. P. Pomeroy of Colorado Springs,
who owned several thousands acres of
western Kansas land, and Professor
Campbell was quickly installed upon
an experimental farm at Hill City, Kas.
The demonstrations of the first three
years produced results that fixed
the status of dry farming" and forced
the price of unirrigated lands upwards
year by year.

THINKS AMERICA WICKED.
Divine DcnounccS Habit Of Cursing:
Calls II "Satan's Inspiration"

NhlA" ~ ''H'N'A ~ ~
~ do not think there Is any country
In the world where blasphemy is so
universal as IT is in our own United
States" said the Rev. Father Thuente
of New York IN his address last even
ing before a congregation OF over 1900
people at St Mary's Cathedral
The remark came IN the course OF
his delneation Of The common misuse
OF Gods name I'm this country which
he stated was one Of the most un-
appreciative,
"The name OF the Lord is used as II
It were that Of Satan by both men
ana women II Is the language Of hell
and is inspired by the devil" said the
noted priest. Cases are common Of
fathers and mothers cursing their own
children and when they are remon-
str1teG they say 'Of coures, I do not
mean what ] say but humans are
endowed with wills and control their
thoughts and words and these terri
ble curses will fan on some head
Children often learn to curse from
their parents"
Father Thuente then said that al
though Italy and France were reputed
TO have terrible curses they were no
worse than that used so frequently In
this country Of calling upon God TO
condemn some one.
He deplored the l'ghtness with
which people committed perjury and
the gravity Of calling upon God to
bear witness to falsehood.
The lectures will continue every
night this week and next.
