n FTER the Caster massacre Gen.
IA eral Miles was left in com.
K "a mand on the Yellowstone and
erected huts for bis troops and
stores, which were brought from the
Missouri river by wagon. He built two
posts, one on the Tongue river and one
on the Yellowstone near where is now
the city of Glendive. AS soon as these
were completed, instead Of waiting for
spring and summer, he Immediately
planned to keep up activity against the
red foe.
The Indians greatly annoyed his sup
ply trains, and on one occasion the
train had to return on account of the
strength Of the Indians. This reused
the GENERALS ire, and instead of the
demoralized teamsters he equipped it
with soldiers as such and fighting men
to accompany them. Sitting Bull him
self notified Colonel Otis that he musd
not travel that way, and Miles got aft
er old Bull and overlook him at Cedar
creek. The willy chief sen a flag Of
truce, as be wished to pass the winter
comfortably and wanted permission
to hunt and trade ON condition that he
did not attack the soldiers. But Miles
would not temporize. He sent word
that there was only n peace, and that
was by submission. During this flag
Of truce they tried to trap him IN the
way i which General Candy lost his
life IN the Modoc conference in '78, but
Miles 'coppered'' the gnme and told
Sitting Bull: "In take NO advantage Of
you under a flag Of truce. You have
fifteen minutes to get back to your peo-
pie and fifteen minutes more to accept
my terms or I'll commence fighting.
Either you or I have got to be boss
Of this part of the country"
Although the country swarmed with
Indians and no reply had come. Miles
attacked them with such vigor that
they left many Of their dead on the
field, which they never liked to do, and
continued a hot pursuit for over forty
miles, compelling them to abandon
food, lodge poles. camp equipage and
ponies. Eventually 400 lodges and
1000 Indians surrendered and were
sent to their agencies.
Sitting Bull and his hostile cronies
left the main body and escaped north

and some other chiefs. This bitter ex-
p~erience was an establishment to Sit

that section free from their immediate
depredations. After a return to the

determined commander made up an
expedition to follow Sitting Bulls
trail northward, although It vas oblft-

A CLEANING HINT.
How to Scrub Your Stays So They
Will Look New.

~ ~ Sst
Will Look New.
The easiest way to clean a corset is
this: If the lace or embroidery ut the
top is worn, rip it off; also rip off the
hose supporters. If they are soiled,
buy fresh elastic and insert it in the
old buckles or else buy the necessary
number of pairs of new supporters.
Fill a basin with warm water In which
a teaspoonful of borax or ammonia
has been dissolved. Dip an old hand
brush or clean, small scrubbing brush
into the water, rub 1t with soap and
scrub the corset on a small rubbing
board or a marble slab. The corset
should, of course, be unlaced. and half
should be cleaned at a time.
Scrub thoroughly until all visible
dirt is removed, then rinse, either by
dipping quickly into a basin Of fresh,
clear water or by throwing water on
1t with a tumbler or dipper. But at
all events rinse it thoroughly. Don't
be afraid of getting it thoroughly wet.
Dry it quickly in the sunshine, out of
doors if possible.
Corsets cleaned in this way will be
really clean. OF course they may be
slightly stained from perspiration or
ever from steel rust, and no cleaning
can remove these stains. But you can
rest assured that they are really clean.
When they are dry replace support
ers and mend all broken places. To
cover the breaks in the bone castings
stitch lengths of stout tape over the
bones. Two thicknesses of the tape
can be used where the break occurs.

As yet he was protected from their
fire by the bank itself, his lean form
distinctly outlined against the eastern
sky. He reached a stunted tree that

quick, eager light shone In his face, a
sharp movement of his rifle as though
he were about to raise 1t to the
shoulder, when-bang-a puff of white
smoke fioated up from the head Of the
ravine. Chips sprang convulsively in
