~ NE Of the most thrilling per-
sonal experiences that l ever
w heard was that of Lieutenant
De Rudio, who was cut off
from Reno's command at the Little
Big Horn and spent two days and
nights filed with such narrow escapes
and blood curdling dangers as to make,
under the conditions, the most callous
mans hair stand or end.
In the fight he was guarding a pony
crossing with eight men, when n of
them said: Lieutenant, get your horse
quick Reno's retreating" But as
no trumpet had been sounded and no
order had beer given he hesitated and
waited for the call. As the men had
seen the others retreat.ng, they uncere
m~oniously loft, and De Rudio, seeing
the guidon left behind, rode back to
get 1t, which he did, but saw thirty-five
or forty Indians coming. He dashed
off, and they fred a volley; but, lean
ing low on his horse, 1t went high over
him. He rode into the thick under
brush, when they fired many shots into
the woods, the bullets cutting the
branches all around him. He crossed
the creek, scrambling up the bank,
when suddenly he saw hundreds of In
dams In front of him, not fifty yards
distant, shooting at the retreating sol
diers, with their backs coward him. He
instantly saw that he was entirely cut
of. While thinking how desperate a
for it it would be, the thought of
wife and children nerved him, and he
was about to brave it when a young
Indian about thirty yards distant on
his right fred and killed his horse.
The shot attracted the other Indians,
and De Rudio jumped down the bank,
hiding in an excavation. and several
volleys were fred, SO accurately seem
ingly that the Indians thought be must
be killed.
A terrible yelling began among the
Indians, and all at one the firing
ceased. Peering out, he saw the cause.
Captain Benteen's column was com
ing over the hills and had attracted
their attention. 1t aroused the hope
that they would come neal enough for
him to join them, but In a few minutes
they disappeared, and the Indians all
started off in that direction. Reno's
command had evidently rallied, and
they all got together, so his only hope
was to crawl around under the under
brush and get as near Reno's com
mand as be could, which he could
plainly see. At the anne time there
was a movement on another hill on the
right, and he thought he saw for a
moment General Custer and some of
tcers, and then they disappeared.
While quietly going through the brush
he heard a whispered Lieutenant.

HAVE YOUPLANNED
BABY week YET?
You Can Get Ideas, Bulletins, Ex-
hibit Materials and Inspiration
From the Children's Bureau if
You Want to Help the Young
sters Survive.

Prepared by the children's bureau,
Washington
A CCORDING to the children's bu-
IA reau records, forty-seyen of the
"a fifty cities with more than 100,-
600 population, 6S3 rural COM
munities and more than 1900 other
towns and cities held a baby week or
a baby day last year. The bureau
hopes that the spring and summer of
1917 will double the number of baby
weeks.
The date for a baby week suggested
by the children's bureau is the first
week in May, but the nation wide OBJ
has already begun and will
last far beyond the month of May.
The earliest baby weeks of the year are
reported from Nebraska, and state wide
ported from California and Massachu-
sets. Some state baby week commit
tees are suggesting that baby week be
held at different times in different
parts of the state In order that circuits
may be arranged for speakers and for
exhibit material.
In some places campaigns are being
organized along county lines. A county
in Pennsylvania, for example, is plan
ming a child welfare week, in which or
CARNATIONS In a city and thirteen towns
and women from the farming commu-
mites are cooperating. A county in
New York state reports preparations
for a celebration in which fifteen places
and the surrounding country will take
part.
On the average about one-tenth of
all the babies born in the United States
die before they have completed twelve
months of life, and an inquiry into the
causes of this loss of infant life and a
study of methods of prevention have
been among the bureaus chief inter
ests since its organization. These ba-
bies' deaths are scattered over all parts
of the country and all types of commu-
mites. The bureau believes that most
of these lives could be saved by persist
ent community effort and that a well
planned baby week serves to further
permanent work for infant welfare.
The children's bureau refers also to
the great ~preventable loss of mothers
lives from conditions connected with
childbirth. More women fifteen to forty
five years of age die from maternal
causes than from any disease except
tuberculosis, and a large proportion of
these $4,000 maternal deaths occurring
annually in the United States could be
prevented by intelligent and adequate
care. The protection of mothers is es-
sential to the health and well being of
their children.
In the carrying out of a baby week
the children's bureau lends certain
types Of assistance, such as bulletins
for distribution among mothers on pre-
natal care and infant care and bulle-
tins and popular material on various
phases of the welfare of children. 1t
has a special bulletin of suggestions on
baby week campaigns, including lists
of the state agencies and other organi-
cations from which lantern slides, e.
hibit material and leaflets for baby
week can be secured.

insignificant Little Bridge Over Riv.
uIet at Vera Cruz Cost Spain
Millions of Dollars.

Just beyond the Alameda in the city
of Vera Cruz there is an Insignificant
old bridge which spans narrow riv.
ulet. To this bridge is attached one
of the earliest "StorieS of graft" that
has been brought to light on the con-
tinent of North America. The graft
that this bridge figured in dates back
to the time of Hernando Cortez and
its story shows that the Indians were
not the only ones that COrtez eXacted
money from to fill his own treasure,
says Monterey correspondent of the
New York World.
1t is said that the reports which Cor
tez sent to the King of Spain in re-
gard to the different places in Mexico
We're more or less indefinite, as he
meant them to be. One of his reports
to the king said that the city of Vera
Cruz was built ut the mouth of a river
and that the river divided two sec
tons of the city. He mentioned the
fact that ii would be very desirable
thing for the king to make an apprO-
priation for the building of a bridge
to connect the two portions of the city.
The king consented to do this.
Cortez, when he once had the kings
consent, it is said, wrote that he had
begun work on the bridge, but owing
to the fact that there was much
swampy land at the point where the
bridge had to be built it would take
considerable expense to get the land
in condition to build the bridge. The
land finally was got in condition at
great expense and the work on the
bridge begun. One thing and another
arose, or at least that is what COrtez
Is declared to have said in his letters
to the king of Spain, and more and
more money was needed. Finally the
amount Of the appropriation grew into
millions for this great bridge which
COrtez was supposed to be building
Mt Vera Cruz. This drain on the treas
ury made quite an impression on the
mind of the king and one day when
he was near the coast of Spain with
some of his court he was found stand.
ing near the shore with his hand over
his eyes looking to the west.
"What are you trying to seeT asked
one of his friends.
II was trying" said the king, "to
see if it were not possible to catch a
glimpse of the great bridge that Cortez
Is building in Mexico. 1t has cost
enough to be large enough to be seen
from here"
The bridge that COrtez really did
build very likely was built by his In
dian prisoners without the outlay Of
a single cent. but what Cortez did
with the money he received has not
been shown.
