HISTORY

Americas six hundred who rode to
their death in the Battle of the Little
Big Horn, commonly known as the
Custer Massacre" can vie for
bravery with Tennyson's immortal
six hundred in the English light
brigade, declares Olin D. Wheeler,
historian of the Northern Pacific
railway. June 25 was the 4sth
anniversary of the famous battle,
fought just a short distance south
of Custer, Mont. Indians of the
Crow agency commemorated IN
event with a three day Wild West
stampede started in the morning and
lasting until Wednesday night. The
stampede was held at Garryowen,
two miles south of the battlefield
and the Indians held their
dances each night. Recruiting his
visit to the battlefield in 1892 and
his conversations with the few sur
vivors of Clusters men, Mr.. Wheeler
said: 1.-THE Big Horn hills with
their six hundred can easily vie
with Balaklava and its six hundred
in the Crimean war. The Custer
battle has been mistakenly called
a massacre by many, but do not
believe this term can properly be ap.
piled to it. The slaughter came
about in the course of a military
campaign di-rcted against the Indian
antagonists. The year 1876 was one
of thrills. The American Centennial
exposition was on in Philadelphia
Then suddenly war broke out with
the Indians in the Northwest. The
outbreak was not unexpected and the
government had been preparing for
! it for some time. Supplies for the
troops were rushed in over the
Northern Pacific railroad which
was then completed to Bismarck anc

Dirty noses might generally be
found upon the Jones children. par
ticularly after they had been play
ing in the streets and back yards.
This was always more than lit
tie annoying to Mrs. Jones, who
tried to teach them to keep their
noses clean.
And like most mothers there was
one thing she could not tolerate:
that was the picking Of the nose
with their fingers. Alas this is not
confined to children and, besides be-
ing practice disgusting to most
cople, is most unsanitary.

fired six shots at the bandits. One
