II was a beautiful Indian summer
day in October 1878, that I reported
for duty at Old Fort Lincoln. Well
do | remember walking in front Of
the officers quarters on my way to
the upper post, in company with
Sergeant Starr, who | was to relieve
as post commissary sergeant. The
leaves on the young cottonwood trees
were scar. On this trip l met several
OF the officers Of the post; some OF
whom had just joined from the acade-
my, others who were veterans. Some
of these young officers rose to high
rank in the war with Spain, 20 years
afterwards.

been "a stormy one" it was. Peace
to his ashes.
Captain Louis H. Sanger, 18th in
fantry was a native of Maine and
joined the regular army as a private
in 1861 and was promoted a second
lieutenant in 1862 and breveted ma
jor for galantry at Gettysburg. In
1872 was dismissed from the service.
It is understood the congressional de-
legation Of his state asked his restora-
ton, and he was restored to his
rank in 1913. Sanger was a man of
very small stature and had a wheezy
voice, yet he was as dignified as it
were possible for as small a man to
be. "A story was told of him that once.
upon a time he was travelling from
Lincoln to Bismarck in an ambulance
when a freighter was met where the
road in the woods, nea the river, was
very narrow, and scarcely room for
two teams to pass. The freighter
would not give up any Of the road.
In this dilemma a wheezy voice was
heard from the ambulance saying:
Get out of the road sir, get out of.
the road The freighter replied, "get
out of the road yourself, sir" Sanger
replied: Perhaps you do not know
who /. am, sir; 1 am Major Sanger, of
ahe army, sir" The freighter re.
piled: "Well Major Sanger of the
army sir, do you know what l will
do with you il you don't get out of,
the road, sir? will get q mouse trap
and catch you, Major Sanger Of the
army, sir"
This found its way into the Bis
marck Tribune and Sanger never
heard the last OF. 1t while around Lin
coin. When Gel. Otis was in command
he had the clipping, containing the
article, posted up in the h%eadquarter
room. Sanger was a good and brave
soldier and was. one of the band of

General Sturges returned from the
field in the fall of '7S the wife Of a
soldier vas taken i'll and died; be-
fore her death she made a request of
the women ground her that when she
died she was to be buried in the
clothes she then had on. After her
death, in thinking the matter of the
request over, it was thought it might
have only been an idle fancy Of a
dying person when the mind might
have been wandering and not worthy
of credit. 1t was decided to undress,
and wash the body and prepare it de.
Gently for burial. When the clothing
was removed it was found that what
had long passed as a woman. was in
fact a man. This news quickly spread
over the post, and to the post COM

was made, when the body of a real

BRAVE BISHOP WALTERS.

Bishop Alexander Walters of the A.
MssE. z. church, a prominent Afro
American leader in the Democratic
party, In an open letter fatty denies
that he ever endorsed segregation in
any shape or form.
He says that the statement that he
favored an all-colored Register of the
Treasury Office is absolutely false.
And he tells his defamers to write to
Secretary McAdoo and ask him about
the matter.
The last paragraph in his statement
is strong:
II say once and for all that have
never endorsed segregation in any de-
partment and never will. Do you
thing I have lost my senses and my
interest in my race? 1 would die be-
fore would betray my race"
That's the right sort of talk. Now
let us hear from the other leaders
who have been charged with endors-
ing jimcrowism.

CAUGHT GIANT EEL
WEARING A COLLAR
-Four Feet Long and Weighed
Thirteen Pounds.

Willimantic, Conn.-John Balinskf Of
West Warren captured in the Quaboag
river, mile below Willimantic,
giant eel with dog collar on it's neck.
The eel was forty seven inches long,
az large around the body as the wrist
Of an ordinary sized man and weighed
thirteen pounds.
Balinski killed the eel in low water,
it evidently having been caught in the
pool where It was captured when the
tide went out.
The collar, Of the sort worn by q
small dog, was securely locked about
Its neck and so tight as to cause the
skin to bulge out around the edge. The
initials Nv. r. c." and the name
"Prince" were engraved on a silver
name plate.
The cells back was badly SCARED,
showing where it had been speared on
various occasions. -Four fish hooks
with lines attached were found in the.
monsters mouth.
1T was almost impossible for me to
hold the eel after grabbed it." said
Balinski, for itwould twist and
squirm about in my hands with ease.
l finally got it between two stones and.
drawing my knife, cut its throat.
About the only thing It is good for Is
to chop it up and feed It to the chick

It seems that the fate Of the Titanic

had sufficient effect upon the law maxi
ers and the executives of the law to
cause them to safeguard human lives.
The terrible disaster Of the Volturno

tect sea-going passengers Afhdavits
have been made by survivors of that

rotten and not supplied with proper

THE ONLY SOLUTION.

= = Fa5s =
Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton. Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor Of Jamaica
from 1907, to the end Of 1912. put for
ward the claim that no solution Of the
American color question was possible
except by resolute disclaimer Of the,
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for i've years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 100000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is a British colony and the govern.
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev.
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among otner things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison Of con-
ditions In the United States and the
West Indies" he said, "has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. I
do not expect them to adopt the meth.
DDS OF missionaries, nor do sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
1t cannot be ignored that it happened
that the faiths of the men who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de-
velopment of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human
itarian and, above all, uncompromis-
ingly Christian.
"Were race differentiation held to it
must increase civil discord. When the
balance Of numbers is as it is In the
South in America it must tend to
foster obscure preparations for civil
war and rebellion. If statesmen and
citizens face in the contrary direction
do not say that they will attain i'm
mediately civil peace, but I am conf
dent that they will be travelling the
only road toward it.
Il do, not suggest that race does not
greatly affect facilities for combina,
ton between humans in healthy
national life, but race difference is
only one of many schismatic agencies.
The solution Of the difficulty involves
discipline for the white man as well
as the black"
