CUSTER'S LAST FIGHT.
Tho Famous Battle Of the Little Big.
horn River.

y" staSSs'
General George A. Custer was one
Of the most notable cavalry officers de-
veloped during the war of the rebel
lion. 1t was his fortune to be in the
thick of the conflict within a few
days after leaving the training school
at West Point, and from that time un-
til the day Of his death his life was
filed with strenuous work and STIR
ring adventure, in which he was fire.
Quently exposed to deadly peril.
The closing chapter of his life, which
came with what is known in history
as Clusters last fight" which oc-
cured on June 26, 1876, was Il trag-
edy, but he died like a soldier.
For a number of years after the civil
war Custer had been engaged in In
dian fighting on the frontier of the
United States. Many Of these engage
ments We're among the most thrilling
in the history Of Indian warfare in
this country.
The famous expedition which led up
to the famous battle of the Little Big
horn river was started on May II,
1876, when General Terry, his officers.
of whom General Custer was one, and
his troops left Fort Lincoln, Dakota.
Every one realized that the campaign
was likely to be a decisive one. 1t was
planned to strike the Indians a serious
blow-one from which they could not
recove
The advance was begun under IA
vorable conditions, and the Little Big
horn mountains were reached on June
25 and the Indian village located. A
slight accident gave the red men warn
ing. Nobody knows exactly how the
battle Of Little Bighorn was fought.
The statements made afterward by
the Indians were contradictory, but
they all agreed that Clusters appear
ance was a great surprise. The best
evidence shows that the Indians closed
In on both right and left and placed
Custer at once on the defensive. Closer
and closer the coil frightened around
that plucky band. One after the other

no messenger had been able to break
through the lines, and the mortality
among the officers was heavy.
Then Custer had his troops fire two
volleys in succession. the usual cry for
help. 1t was heard in Reno's camp. Its
significance was understood, but no
help came. Soon came the final act Of
the tragedy. The Indians closed in
from all sides, led by the cruel chiefs
Grow King. Gall, Crazy Horse and
ain-in-the-Face. 1t was Il hand to
hand fight. 1t was $50 against 1000.
Grouped about Custer were twenty or
thirty desperate men. They fought
with their leader. they fought for their
leader, until the last man lay dead.
Not an American officer or soldier
lived to tell the tale of Clusters last
fight" Never in the history Of the
world was the bravery, devotion to
duty and perfect discipline Of troops
better illustrated. Almost without ex-
ception the bodies Of the men were
found just where they had fought.

GRAY HAIR.
The Logical Explanation.

Nv -oSiSdi CHPtdHdtlOh,
There is great deal of misinforma-
ton about the care of the hair and
the cause of hair getting gray prema-
turely. 1t used to be believed that
in some families gray hair was here
ditary, like blue, eyes or quick tenn
per. Science, however, has proved
that gray hair is simply lack of the
proper hair food, and is in every case
an individual problem. Premature
gray hair is easily preventable and
when it first appears all that is neces-
sary is to apply some reliable hair
food such as HAYS HAIR HEALTH.
This standard remedy is entirely
harmless and is in no sense a dive.
being preparation rich in the exact
kind of sustenance that the scalp
needs to keep the hair from decaying.
Gray hair is simply a sign Of decay

books on the care OF the hair can be
had from the PhiIo Hay Specialties

The Clyde Of Land.~

According to an ancient law in Eng

could reasonably be cultivated with
one plow. This applied for scores Of
years, but at the dissolution of the
religious orders in the reign OF Henry
VIII. the hyde or cultivated land
OF the abbots of Westminster, all re-.
verified to the possession of the crown
That marked the gradual decline of
that means of measuring land, and
before many years the term fell into
disuse, never to be revived.
