CLUSTERS CROW SCOUTS
q, Western Newspaper Union.

There were six Of them, these war
riors of the Grow or Absaroke nation,
who rode with Custer on his last
march down the Little Big Horn river
in Montana that day in June. 1876.
when the leader of the Seventh caval-
ry asked General Terry for his best
Grow scouts in the camp on the Little
Rosebud creek, Terry told him he
could have Curley, white Man Runs
Him." Hairy Moccasin, "Goes Ahead"
Yellow Face and White Swan. The
Crows were glad to serve with the
famous Indian fighter and they guided
him until they located the hostile camp
on the Little Big Horn.
When Custer divided his command
to attack the village, Yellow Face and
White Swan were sent with Major
Reno and Custer kept white Man
Runs Him." Curly, ''Goes Ahead" and
Hairy Moccasin with him. Yellow
Face was killed while fighting with
Reno, and White Swan was badly
wounded but finally recovered and
lived until 1905.
Today Curley is the only survivor
Of the Custer Crow scouts and, ac-
cording to his story, he is the last
man who saw his commander alive.
After crossing the ridge, Custer
turned to white Man Runs Him."
Hairy Moccasin and "GOes Ahead"
and said to them: "YOu have done
your duty. You have led me to the
enemy. My soldiers will do the fight
ing. You are to go now and save
your lives.D The scouts left him and
made their way to the pack train I'M
der Capt. Tom McDougall.
When Curley returned from Reno's
position, he was given the same Or
der. He started and soon found him
self il the midst of hot fight. Find
ing a dead Sioux warrior, he took his
horse, gun and blanket. Wrapping
the blanket about his head to conceal
his Grow scalplock from the Sioux,
Curley succeeded in reaching a high
butte. Looking back he saw that
Custer had charged down upon the
Indians and was surrounded. Curley
says that he watched the battle until
he saw Custer, who was the last man
standing, fall and then he rode away.
The next morning the Crow scout
appeared in General Terry's camp.
He could not speak English and there
was NO interpreter. Curley took
blades Of grass, piled them all in a
heap, and then, exclaiming "Pouf |!
Pouf." in imitation OF the sound OF
a gun, scattered them wide apart. By
means OF this he made the officer un-
derstand that Custer and all Of his
men had been killed. Like the IA
nous Greek, Curley the Grow was a
messenger Of disaster and he brought
the first news OF this ThermopyIae Of
America-Custer's last fight.

Use Kentucky Products
(Fror1 Louisville Times

Kentucky development, takes
another forward step with the
discovery Of marble II Barren
county. The important ind has
just been officially announced by
the state geologist.
It has been demonstrated by
the Geological Survey that mar
Bile abounds in Barren county and
probably large strata OF the stone
underlie that section of the state.
Experiments have shown that the
Barren marble is Of splendid
quality and fully equal TO the
Tennessee product, which long
has been quarrfed on an extensive
commercial scale, The Kentuc-
ky stone is said to susceptible OF
the highest polish; this makes II
particularly desirable for interior
decorating and monument work.
With Kentucky marble now to
be had Of a quality equal to that
! produced by other states. lis de
veloprnent should be encouraged
There is no better way to do tn:
than to give Kentucky marble
the preference in construction
| work in this state. The same
spirit should be adopted with
regard to the utilization Of all
other products of Kentucky coal
rock asphalt and the like
Kentucky building stone holds
its own in other states in keen
competition, and there is no rea
son why Kentucky marble should
not attain the same standard AND
become an interest that viii
largely add to the commercial
prosperity Of the state.

in the middle of-the- night once,
and he didn1 know what ached
him the mest-the cold that had
settled on his chest, his liver that
was o,T Of order, or the corn that
he had on his little toe.
Any way, he got up, dressed
himself and woke the druggist
up to fix him some medicine that
would give him some relief. The
druggist fixed him up a powerful
Imminent, some pills, and corn
plaster, saying, Rub your chest
with the Imminent for cold, swal
low the pills for your liver. and
use the corn plaster for your
toe"
My friend kept repeating this
all the way home, but when he
got there he was all puzzled up.
He stuck the corn plaster on his
chest, swallowed the liniment and
tied the pills on his. corn. After
that he never suffered any more

Price of Wheat Goes Up on Reuiual of New Export Grain Business
By Associated Press

Chicago. September 1S.-Argentine drouth advices, together with some revival of export business in this country, led to material upturn to- day in the price of wheat. The mar ket closed firm, 2A c to 3iAc net high CT Corn finished unchanged to A @ ss higher; oats, Ac to 1s.@ 5sc, and provisions varying from 25c decline to soc gain.
 r Bulls in wheat were prompt to take advantage of the failure of predic- tions for rain in Argentina. It was the Argentine crop would be able to endure dry weather for 20 to 30 days yet without suffering irreparable damage. On the other hand the ap- parent increasing likelihood of se- rious curtailment of the Argentine yield was given as the chief reason for numerous orders to purchase. During the resultant upturn houses that were conspicuous sellers of late became the chief buyers. Meanwhile estimates were current that export business for the day totalled 1,00O,0Oo bushels, and there was gossip that for the first time since 1914 Japan was acquiring wheat on large scale. Only moderate reaction in prices was caused by late sales to realize profits.
 Corn and oats sympathized with the strength of wheat. Rural offer ings of corn were said to have fal- len off to decided extent.
 Provisions averaged lower, influ- enced by downturns in the value Of hogs.

The bet ter showing of the early weather map promoted the liquidation of long con- tracts and probably some selling for further reaction on a belief that the attention of the trade was turn ing from reduced estimates of the yield to the prospect for increasing new crop receipts
 Selling by houses with Liverpool connections was feature on the break during the firss nour, -but of ferings from that source were light after the close abroad and the market here turned firm during the early afternoon on trade buying, rebuying by old bulls who had taken profits last week and reports that promi- nent New Orleans map reader looked for another rainy spell in the south west. This view was not shared by local map readers, but it evidently caused some nervousness, while the afternoon advance was also encour- aged by bullsh private spot advces from the south and reports tfat one of the Atlanta banks was advertising in Georgia papers that it would ad- vance 75 per cent of the market value on cotton. October sold tip to 20.00c and March 19.76c. while January ad- Nanced from 1S.90c to 19.90c, or about 65 points net higher on the general list The close was a few points off from the best under realizing Pri- vate returns indicate domestic con sumption 446,000 bales for August, compared with 410.000 for July, but che figures attracted little comment.

 portion to the amount of pedestrian
 traffic passing the store. And yet
 the merchants along Fifth avenue,

 the difficulty of maying their way. And, furthermore. the crowd is com posed not of shoppers, but of idle curiosity seekers. The parade takes their mind off the idea of buying. even if they had planned to do so. lCigar store proprietors lon ga9o dis covered that men smoke less while
