very dainty luncheon at the Grey

Delicate pink carnations were placed

tanning violets about them; thus the
pink and blue color motif was very
effectively carried out. A few of the
violets, with now and then green
leaf, were strewn over the damaslS
cover. The tall crystal candlesticks
holding pink candles, with the shadows
from the pink walls, cast a lovely glow
over the guests. Little lowered asses
contained the almonds. Miniature de-
butantes bearing mirrors guided the
guests to their places, the witty little
verse on the place cards being:

years both in the army and out regard- ing the conduct of Major Reno, Flanna- gan became figure of somewhat the same importance as the Indian scout. Curley the Crow. Curley was also sent to order Reno and Captain Benteen with their commands to attack the Indians in force. Reno. in spite of the ursings of men could not cross the river. Curley arrived at the scene of the battle to see Custer making his lone stand against the Sioux; before he could tell him of Renos refusal to aid him, Curley said, Custer fell, shot through the heart by an In- dian rifleman. The narratives of the two scouts were perhaps as complete in de- tails as any furnished of this memorable Indian battle.
 Sargint Jimmy was one of the ideal non-c commissioned officers of the old Seventh cavalry. men who stood for high morale and fought for the records and traditions of fighting regiment. He was the kind of man about whom Rich ard Harding Davis like to write, and Sar- gint Jimmy, only thinly disguised, ap- peared in one or two of his stories of army border life. Frederick Remington had his thin, 1.-the figure and his square jawed face in several of his paintings of western piainsmen.
 When Flanagan went west with the Seventh in 1879 he was first stationed at Fort Abraham Lincoln, four miles south of Mandan, and when he was retired from service he went back to this town to make it his home Everybody in the Dakotas either knew Sargint Jimmy or knew of him. Former service men from all over the region came to pay their last respects to him. There were dozen diff ferent uniforms-uniforms worn in the Civil war, worn by veteran Indian fight CTS, veterans of the Spanish war. the Boxer rebellion and the World war-in the slow moving column which followed him to his grave

LAST OF BUSTERS SCOUTS

From the New York Herald.
 I1TI HE last Custer scout was as long
 lived as the last servant of George
 Washington; the end of the line, it almost seemed, would never come. But when they buried Sargint Jimmy Elan nagan last Sunday at Mandan, N. D., in the upper Missouri valley, at the mouth or Sweet Briar creek, the last of his race undoubtedly passed. John Mckenzie, who came to the Black Hills in the '7Os, fought the Sioux and secuted all over the north west, died two weeks ago at St. Onge, s. D., and left Sargint Jimmy without a man in the Dakotas to contest his honor. Any claimant now to being the last real genuine survivor of Gen. George Gus ter's scouts had better be on his guard, for he may hear Sargint Jimmy's voice in his ear, Listen ter me. 'Tain't so.''
 Eighty-four years ago Flanagan was born in Greenfield, Mass, and Is years later he struck the gold trail for Cali fornia. When he reached Ohio home- ward bound, with more adventure than SOlQ to niS CTSulC, the ClVll war ndu De- gun and he joined an Ohio cavalry regi- ment. Mustered out of service at the end of the war, he found civil life dull and he enlisted in the Seventh cavalry. He found the quick action he sought and plenty of it in the famous regiment, for he became in course of time one of Gus ter's chief white scouts.
 'Me luck was wit me- he used to explain in recounting his narrow escape at the battle of sthe Little Big Horn in 1876, when Custer and the troops with him to man were killed. As is known the general split his command on the way to the fight. and short time after Major Reno's battalion left the main body of troopssFlannagan was sent back by Custer with message to Reno. And that's how I saved my scalp" said Sar- gint Jimmy. He returned to his com mand, saw the battle in progress and hastened to advise Reno. second time of Clusters peril.

 "rhe very earliest records of daily transactions that have been found, the clay tablets on which were written the contracts of Babylonia 5000 and 1000 years ago, show that the renting of houses was flourishing business among the landlords of Babylon and Nippur. The existence of commission merchants. and labor agencies leaves little doubt that real estate and rental agencies also existed much as they do today. One can almost picture the frantic Shouse hunting engaged in by one Sinidinnam. perhaps accompanied by Mrs. sin, and doubtless led by a Fright young man from the Nippur Rental agency. which preceded the execution of the following lease dated the fourth month. first day in the year 2o52 B. C.:
 "'The house of Damu-ribam from Damu-ribam, Sind-idinnam. the mer- chant, has rented as a dwelling and possession at yearly rental of 1-3 of a shekel of silver.
 The ordinary dwellings of Nippur were probably mere shacks of sun dried brick with mud roofs, but even for such poor accommodations the rental was cheap from a modern point of view. At most shekel is believed to have had little more purchasing power than $ has today. so Sin-idin- nam had the use of a house for less than $2 year. The highest rentals set out in the clay leases of Babylonia were shekelS or about $sO a year, a striking contrast to rentals in some more pretentious modern apartment

Possibly the chill that characterizes butlering in the best circles was somewhat accen- tuated, but he showed as much cour- tesy as the occasion warranted and at his masters orders assisted the officers in gathering up the evidence" and making an exit through the back door, to avoid undue publicity.
 MT. Shaw, it appears, was cheerful, nay, friendly with the intruders, who assured him that they were merely prompted by stern sense of duty. They had no desire to bring disrepute upon the Back Bay neighborhood, nor to dim the prestige of Harvard, but home distilling is not provided for under the Volstead act. One state ment attributed to MT. Shaw throws light, perhaps, on Boston's society. He is quoted as saying in an off-hand manner, "All the fellows have stills" This might be looked into by the au- thorities and possibly is being looked into. MT. Shaw was held in $500 bail.
 There was a time when "moonsnin- ing" was practiced chiefly by rough and ready men. It was not, strictly speaking, parlor diversion, but reve- lations in Boston show that home "still" is apt to be found in the most exclusive circles, which calls to mind a popular song of yesteryear, entitled "Everybody's Doing It."

 "Babylonian procedure in regard to real estate was little different from our own. Formal contracts and deeds had to be attested by a notary, and in swearing tho person taking the oath raised his right hand. An official copy of the transaction, on a clay tablet. with the notary's attestation was de- posited in the temple the. court house of those days.
 There was an excellent reason for paying ones rent promptly in Baby lon, for creditors could seize one of the debtors household for hostage And hold him until a satisfactory settle ment was made. Interest rates were rather dscouraging, also, the usual rate referred to on clay tablets being 20 per cent. Instead of a penalty of 10 per cent as provided in modern notes if legal steps must be taken to collect, Babylonian notes provided for the doubling of the debt.
