ANNIVERSARY OF
FAMOUS MASSACRE

against them 1t was his intention to
crush the rebellion with three detach-
ments consisting of approximately
$500 men each, under the command Of
Generals Crook, Terry and Gibbon.
General Custer had regiment Of
six hundred cavalry, which was at
tached to the command of General
Terry.
General Crool. on June IL, 1876,
while feeling his way down the Vel
lowstone encountered Crazy Horse and
put him to fight after an indecisive
battle. Crazy Horse Joined Sitting
Bull at the Little Big Horn. 1t was
the plan that the various attachments
should move in common against the
Indians The Seventh cavalry, under
General Custer, was despatched by
General Terry to turn the Indians east
ward should they try to escape. The
program was that the forces of General
Terry were to meet General Clusters
regiment on June 26 at the junction
al Custer and his command rode all
night and thus arrived at the rendes-
bous ahead of time.
The Indians, six thousand strong,
were camped in the canonlike valley.
General Custer decided to attack at
once, and with his usual impetuosity
he proceeded He divided his COM
mand into three details, and taking
five companions, went on with the at
tack 1t is generally believed that he
had no idea of the great number of
the Indians. The commands of Ma
jor Reno and Captain Benteen were
ordered to attack from different points
and Custer himself rode into the very
center of the foe. He and his entire
command were massacred, for not d
man survived to tell the story of the
fight
Major Reno and Captain Benteen
effected a reunion and held out until
the arrival of reinforcements. The In
dams retreated and the bodies of Gen
eral Custer and his troopers were
found on the field. The bodies were
all more or less mutilated by the saw
ages, except that Of Custer, of Whim
h. I'd; or
they regarded as a kind of demi- god
To them he was "The Big Chief and
"Chief Long HAIR" and none dared
to touch him where he lay in DEATH
Clusters luck" was proverb
among the Indians, as it had been in
the civil war, and they could scarcely
believe that he had been killed. The
battle of the Little Big Horn was fol-
lowed by the subjugation of the Sioux
and the restoration of peace
Shortly after he gained the COM
| mand of a brigade in the civil war
General Custer obtained a brief fur
Tough and went to Monroe. where he
married Miss Elizabeth Bacon His
bride returned with him and when
ever possible. she was his companion
in his campaigns. Mrs. Custer also
went with her husband through some
Of the Indian wars, and she has writ
ten of her experiences In several books
of dramatic interest.

ONE QUESTION ALWAYS ASKED
Employer Of Labor Wants to Know
II Formation Of Jaw 10 Natural
or Acquired.

"There is one question always ask
a man who wants a job" remarked
the business man who has to hire
several hundred men for different po-
sitions each year.
'The question I always ask them
is: DO you smoke a pipe muchT or
course the answers are various. Some
of them smoke a pipe a great deal and
others not at all. Some smoke Gig
arettes. although I seldom can get a
man to admit 1t. There seems to be a
general guilty feeling when a man is a
cigarette smoker. Some OF them
smoke cigars. My business Is such
that 1t makes very little difference to
their availability to me no matter
what they smoke.
why do ask about the pipe? Well.
not that ! nave the least interest In
their habits, or that ] have any pre-
Judice one way or another IN the mat
mater. The reason is that l want to
know whether the formation OF their
lower jaws is natural or acquired.
"A man with a firm lower Jaw is al
ways man OF parts anu Oh VIII. L
say always anyway. most always. II
he does not smoke a pipe his square
jaw, back near where it hinges on to
the upper one. is natural If he is a
pipe smoker the looks are deceiving,
and l have to Judge his caiiber some
other way.
Pipe smokers always have strong
muscles back on the face about the
place a man stops when he makes the
first stroke downward in shaving.
These are the muscles that hold the
Jaws together. They often give a
square-jawed effect to man who
hasn't any square-jaw characteristics.
My men think l ask funny questions.
but there's a reason"
