Killing of Sitting Bull.

''Twenty-one years ago tomorrow
Col. W. F. Cody ('Buffalo BiIIO start
ed from Mandan, n. D., armed with
an order signed by General Miles au-
thorizing him to treat with Sitting
Bull. then engaged in ghost dancing at
his home near Grand river, on the
Standing Rock reservation. for the
surrender of the redoubtable old chief
and the few braves he had With him, -
remarked John F Hennessey of Rush
Vile, Neb., at the Willard recently.
Maj. James Mclaughlin, then agent
at Standing Rock, who had been in
charge of Sitting Bull and the other
Teton Sioux. who had surrendered a
few years after the Custer massacre,
knowing the temper CT the Indians,
made represen tations to the war de-
partment which resulted in the can
collation. by General SchofieId, acting
secretary of war, of the order held
by Buffalo Bill. and he was turned
back when a few miles southwest of
the military post at Standing Rock
and the major proceeded after his
own fashion to bring about the sup
preston of the ghost dancing that
threatened to precipitate trouble
Sitting Bull had about $50 of his
people with him. The daily program
of the old chief consisted of a Turk
ish bath in a .wickiup.' an air-tieht
compartment, in which red-hot stones
were placed, the steam being general
ed by pouring cold water on the
stones After the bath the Indian
would take a dip into cold water.
Then the Indians would begin their
dancing and continue it until one or
more collapsed.
From keeping up this ghost dane
ing, Sitting Bull and his men had be-
come so exhilarated that they refused
to come into the agency and the dan
ger was imminent that there would be
an uprising. It was on Saturday even
ing. December H. that Major Nc
Laughlin, cooperating with the COM
manding officer OF the post, sent de-
tail of Indian police, consisting of
seven men, nearly all Of them MEM

Sitting Bull belonged, with Instructions
to the old Sioux chief to surrender.
by some Misunderstanding, the
military support, which was to have
been within reach when the civil au-
thorities, represented by the Indian
police, made the arrest of Sitting Bull,
had not come up when, at daylight in
the morning, Bull Head, Hawk Man
and other members of the detail
aroused the old chief and told him he
was under arrest. He was sleeping in
one of the two log houses standing
close together on the banks of the
Grand river, and in other houses scat
tered about were other members of
his imm ediate following.
when told that he must go to the
agency, he appeared tractable enough,
and having put on some clothing went
as far as the door, when he asked
that his horse, which had been pre-
sented to him by Buffalo Bill when
Sitting Bull was a show Indian, be
sent to him. While waiting for the
horse his son and number OF other
excited savages gathered about and
tainted Sitting Bull, accusing him OF
to policemen in blue
coats. This enraged the old chief He
threw up his arms though to re-
sist, and one of his followers promptly
shot Bull Head through the body. Bull
Head, who always hated Sitting Bull,
raised his gun before he fell and shot
Sitting Bull twice. A melee ensued,
in W ich several Indians were killed
An hour or so later the military ar
rived and Sitting Bulls body and those
of the other dead Indians were taken
to the agency in a wagon"
Mr.. Hennessey, who was formerly
man, arrived at Standing
Rock the day after Sitting Bull was
killed Washing Post.

LEGAL AID WORK.

A permanent national association of
legal aid societies is to be the OUT
growth of a convention held in Pitts
burg. Although the New York Legal
Aid Society has completed its thirty
fifth year, this Pittsburg meeting mark
ed the first attempt to bring together
representatives of all organizations do
ing legal aid work.
Fifteen delegates represented thirteen
organiza tons. ranging from committees
of associated charities to a municipal
bureau. Only two organizations doing
such work" says The Survey, were
not represented; viz the New Jersey
Legal Aid Society, Newark, N. J., and
the Los Angeles Legal Aid Society.
1.-THE West had the distinction of
presenting the most interesting and
progressive idea at the convention.
Kansas City, in the person of G. J.
Fleming. advanced the postulate-ap-
parently novel one to majority of
the delegates-that legal aid to the
poor should properly be a function of
the city government.
Attorneys interested in the situation
are reaching at least approximate
agreement throughout the country upon
the remedial measures necessary to
protect the poor from loan sharks and
ignorant foreigners from victimization
which are the two chief problems of all
legal aid work.
Mr.. Blaxter and other Pittsburg
speakers offered striking information as
to methods used to victimiza foreign
ers. Delegates We're told that Edgar
Prochnic, Austro-H Hungarian v1ce-con-
SUI in Pittsburg, Standardization an

steel district were victimized in various
ways to the extent of $1,OOO.000 in the
year 1910. Gino c. Speranza, deputized
by the Italian government to investi-
gate the victimizing of Italians in the
Pittsburg district, was reported to have
found conditions equally bad among his
fellow-countryInen He placed the prin-
cipal blame upon naturalized and En-

MAKE FARM HOMES ATTRACTIVE


It would be strange. indeed, if the
average boys and girls, reared on the
farms, did not look forward to the
time when they would make their
home in the city, says the Kansas In
dustrialist, editoriaIIy, in its issue that
was exclusively the work of the stu
dents in industrial journalism at the
K. S. A. G.. The common aim of the
farmer Is to remain on the farm only
until he has accumulated enough
wealth to enable him to live in the
city; the farm being considered only
as a temporary place of abode, a mine
as it were, where he can go down
and dig for a while. and come to the
surface to live. If the children are
taught to look upon the farm in this
light they, naturally, plan to leave it,
and make their living else where in the
beginning
Why not build a good house on the
farm? Have it heated by a furnace;
have it equipped with plumbing, the
pressure coming from an elevated tank
Hot and cold water may be had, with
bath. and all other conveniences en-
joyed by the city dwelIer. Make the
house modern in every sense Have
lawn, for there is plenty of room.
Watering may be done by simply
turning tap from the tank.
There should be a substantial and
attractive lawn fence, so that the live
stock and poultry can not get on the
lawn. Shade trees should be planted
densely enough to give plenty of
shade.
Not only should the house be well
built, and have a neat appearance
from without. but it should be well
finished inside, and well furnished.
Why doesn't the farmer have hard
wood floors, oak finish; a piano, and
a pianola, if he does not have the
good fortune to have a musician in
the family. Every member of the
family should have a bedroom furnish
ed in accordance with his own taste,
and decorated as he or she likes, so
that there may be something to call
ones own, in which there is always a
personal pride. If the home compares
favorably with the best of the city
homes, the children will take pleasure
in entertaining friends from city or
country.
In general, prepare to live on the
farm, not merely to exist there, and
boys and girls will have a much bet
ter opinion of the farm and farming.
They will not be eager to leave, if they
see some good reason for staying.

The advertising man got up a schedule

And the reason this big merchant asked
the advertising mans opinion was be-
cause he knew the advertising man had

knew he would give an unprejudiced

The advertising mans suggestions may
