A Plea for the Twelve.
S,748 Hours in the year 1912.
12 For the Missionary Society

S,7,36 balance on hand.
It IS not much to ask-12 from
S,74S-yet it is more than most of us
give.
Our Saviour gave his life for mis-
sions.
Is it asking much that we should
give twelve hours year to prayer
for and study Of that for which tho
Son of God gave his life?
This is not plea for money, nor
plea for work.
It is a plea at the first of the yea1
for twelve of the S,74S hours Of the
year for the missionary society.
We need givers and we need work
ers, but the most discouraging thing
to missionary leaders is the poor at
tendance at the meetings.
Whether you belong to the society
or not, you are invited to attend the
meetings this year.
Will you give twelve hours to mis-
sions this year?
We lead such busy lives that unless
we plan ahead many important things
are crowded out.
Most of us have a sort of genera
expectation of attending the meet
ings, but first one thing and then an
other comes up and the missionary
meetings are crowded out.
We would not definitely throw
them out and avow our purpose not
to attend, but gradually they are
crowded out.
Make twelve engagements for this
new year..
Set aside one hour of each month
now.
Write down the date where you
will see it and not forget it.
Hold these engagements sacredlJ

Plan definitely to attend the twelve
meetings of the year.

CUSTER'S LAST DAY.
Story of the Massacre as Told by the
Generals Orderly.

Yes; I owe my life to the fact
that happened to be the nearest or
derly to Gen. Custer when he sight
ed the Indians which a few hours
later massacred his entire detach-
ment," said Col. T. w. Goldin, who
! is in charge of the Boy Scouts in
Kansas City. Il am now the only
man alive who was with him on the
ride preceding the massacre in the
morning of the day it happened.
'"The Sioux Indians had been ter
rifying the settlers and had killed
a great many because the govern
ment had opened up some of their
reservations for settlement. More
particularly they were angry because
the government had granted the Nor
thern Pacific Railway right of way
across some of their best hunting
grounds. Finally, since their dep
relations increased instead of de-
creased, the government decided to
take measures to put them down.
Three expeditions were sent into the
field against Sitting Bull and Red
Cloud. Gen. Custer was in command
of regiment of cavalry in the divis-
ion under the command of Gen.
Terry.
1.-The three divisions camped on
the Powder river for three days,
making final plans for the campaign.
The commanding officers met on
board, the steamboat Far West on
the morning of June %, 1876, and
decided to send Gen. Gibbon to the
mouth of the Little Big Horn, there
to march up the river to where the
Indians were encamped in the val
ley. Gen. Custer was sent to strike
the river above them, marching
down so that he would arrive on one
side at the same time Gen. Gibbons
force arrived on the other. Gen. Gus
ter was advised to take another regi-
ment of cavalry or artillery besides
his own, but declined and started
with his own regiment. He was
told to time his march so that he
would join Gibbon, June 26.
"He disregarded the order, how
ever, and pressed on as rapidly as
he could, arriving in the hills near
the river the night Of the Oath. He
sent a half-breed Crow Indian scout
named Mitch" Bourier ahead to
find out what he could about the po-
sition and strength of the Sioux.
Bourfer came back next morning and
told Gen. Custer that he had seen
herd of several thousand ponies.
This meant that there were that
many Indians, far too large a force
for Clusters men to attack. Custer
laughed at him, however. The gen.
raj told the scout that all he had
seen was nerd or antelope, out
that if Bourier was afraid he needn't
go any further. Bourier said he
would 60 any place the soldiers went,
but that they would all wake up in
the next world the next morning if
they attacked the Indians before Glib
bon arrived.
"Custer then made the two mis-
takes which resulted in the massa-
ere. He refused to wait for Gibbon
and without finding out anything
more about the enemy he divided his
regiment into four columns and sent
them along different routes toward
the Indian village. e."-Kansas City

The Winter Vacation.

One must be philosopher to
read calmly the advertisements Of
life at the Southern winter resorts,
unless he belongs to that minority
that has the price of a winter va
cation.
1t does seem reasonable that
man should follow the birds, fit
ting after the sun when the North
Wind begins to do business at the
old stand.
Quite likely in some day of
cheaper transportation and a less
intense industrial life, winter va
cation trips will be more possible
for thrifty people of moderate
means. -,
Meanwhile the stay-at-home
must solace himself as best he
may with the thought that one
takes to a vacation resort the
same troubles that he had at home.
For a host of faded people, Flor
ida, Southern California aud the
West Indies are a hospital, where
they are able in part to repair the
waste of a business and society
strain which the human machine
was never built to stand.
When the Philosopher travels
in winter, he avoids the domains
of Smart Society. Bejewelled
and made-up women don't a look
good to him. The simple forest
bungalow is better, with a cracks
ling fire of pine cones on cool JAN
uary nights. Sunshine is prefera-
BILE to the sparkle of diamonds,
and the edor of the sweet pines to
my lady's perfumes of Orient.

The Home Merchant.

A portion of our people seem
disinclined to pstronize the home
merchant except when they can't
help it. They will ask grocer to
deliver a yeast cake to their back
door. But when it comes to or
dering winters supply of canned
goods, they write to some distant
department store.
1t should be needless to say,
that if everyone did thus, we
should have stores to rent, fewer
opportunities for people to earn a
living at home. 1et
On the contrary, if we all
bought everything possible at
home, our stores could keep even
better stocks. 1t is a great con-
venience to be able to make selec-
tions from a good line of goods at
home. This becomes possible
where everyone Loyalty supports
the home merchants.
Under such circumstances ex-
listing stores could do a large
business, employ more people, and
more concerns would start. Ev-
cry person owning real estate or a
business here would see it grow
more valuable.
Even the man with nothing
would gain. There would be more
property to tax, hence more pub
lie improvements. With more
money in circulation our fraternal
societies, churches, and clubs
could serve the community more
efficiently.
