RED CLOUD

A young Ogalalla chief of the Sioux
nation dashed across the Dakota prai-
rie, followed by band of youthful
braves who had chosen him as their
leader. From the chiefs shoulders
waved scarlet blanket Some poetic
onlooker, observing the foremost rid
er's fiery-colored shoulder covering,
said:
He looks like flying red cloud"
The speech pleased the young chief.
From that time he was known as Mag
pelu-ta-"Red Cloud"
Red Cloud was born in 1878. He was
of obscure birth; but by sheer genius
for warfare and leadership soon made
himself sub-chief. His early wars
were waged against the Pawnees,
Crows and other tribes, who hated the
fierce Sioux. Then, in 1848-already
noted wardrobe began a conflict
with the white men that waged on
and on for more than thirty years.
The War Lord Of the West.
Pioneers began to invade his realm.
Many of them were white men of the
most daring, lawless sort, who did not
scruple to cheat. rob or even kill any
Indian who crossed their path. Red
Cloud regarded these newcomers as
hostile tribe and treated them as
such. The white man slaughtered the
buffalos and other game by the thou.
sand, taught the Indians to drink and
trampled on their ancient customs.
Red Cloud and his braves retaliated
by Staying some of these "undesirab bic
citizens" and declaring death-war up.

The government rushed to the pro.
lection of its settlers. Red Cloud
now found himself opposed to trained
soldiers instead of lawless frontiers.

as ever against these greater odds.

forcements, he divided his force to at.
tack the camp from different sides.
At the head Of one observation-disclosures
800 men-Custer rode blindly into a
battle-or, rather. an ambush-from
which neither he nor one white man
with him came out alive. Reno, with
most Of Clusters remaining troops,
was cooped up on hill by swarms Of
Indians and barely escaped.
Clusters Death.
1t was Sitting Bull who had planned
this death trap for Clusters soldiers.
But in the battle itself, Gall, war chief
of the Sioux, was the actual command
er. Sitting Bull took no part in the
fight. He sat at the door Of his tent
well out of bullet range. bowling
hymns to the Great Spirit and working
spells of jugglery for his warriors sue
cess.
Knowing the government would take
swift revenge for Clusters death, Sit
ting Bull retreated, fighting, before
the soldiers advance and at last qui-
city slipped over the border into Can
ada, where he was safe from pursuit.
In 1881 Sitting Bull accepted terms
of peace and came back to the United
States. There he settled near the
Standing Rock agency in North Da-
kota. He made several tours of the
east, was on exhibition in New York
and elsewhere, and earned money SELL
ing his pictures and autographs. His
adventurous career seemed at an end.
But few years later he was busy as
of old stirring up his nation" to dis
content, advising them not to give up
their remaining land to the white
man, and transmitting to them fiery
messages from the Great Spirit. He
was in 1889 one of the preachers (if
not the secret originator) of a doc
trine that an Indian messiah was about
to come to earth to bury all the white
men thirty feet under ground and
give the whole country back to the
savages. This sort of talk goaded the
Indians to fresh revolt. And again
Sitting Bull was the central figure in
a Sioux uprising. To nip the insurrec-
ton in the bud, a squad of Indian po-
lice came to his village on December
Is, 1890, to arrest the old chief He
resisted and shouted to his braves to
rescue him. In the hand-to-hand fight
and general confusion Sitting Bull was
shot dead.

GARDEN CITY, Kas., March 6
Garden City is lonesome but
happy. In the big blizzard last
week Santa Fe overland train
eastbound, was stalled at the Gar.
den City station for four days.
On the train was a theatrical
troupe, a lot of passengers and q
considerable tourist money"
The town hall was rugged ur
and a "show" was given. There
was a dance every night. There
were sleigh-ride parties and mo-
lasses candy festivals. The tour
lists paid the bills.
Local real estate agents sold
acres of town lots. There was a
wee bit of poker.
Kansas is dry. Garden City is
very dry. One evening a native
of Garden City went through the
train. In bag he had some so
or more half-pint TASKS.
Want some tea" he whispered
with a knowing wink, showing a
flask that glowed with warm
color.

HERE'S OUR NEW FLAG,
AFTER JULY A

This Is the new American flag,
official after July 4. The arrows
show where the two new stars of
Arizona and New Mexico are
added.
For the first time since 1865
the stars are set in even rows. In
1890 five new stars were added to
the flag at once, but since that
time the new states have come in
singly.
The 4S states now represented
on the blue field complete the pos
sibilities of continental United
States excepting Alaska) unless
proposals made at various times
to split up existing states should
be taken seriously. Not long ago
lit was suggested that New York
city and contiguous territory be
made into separate state of
Manhattan. There has also been
talk of slicing new states off
Texas and California.
And If those dire Canadian
fears should ever find real foun-
dation, we'd have fine new
galaxy of states, all together.

Louis La Motta used to be chef

out to America and was employed
by Higgins, manager of the polo
club at San Mateo, "the Newport

Lying on a sickbed, Higgins
could not forget the club. He
wanted to pull off something out
of the ordinary, so he sent for

In early times the barber was
also a surgeon. This resulted in
the design of the BARRIERS pole.
The gilt ball on top represented
the brass basin which held the

the staff which the customer held

And dreams of day that is hot and sweating,

So the drge of winter is slowly knelling,
