General George Armstrong Custer
the victim of the most terrible In
dian massacre of all time. was borr
at New Rumley, Ohio, December 5
1889. Graduating from West Point
in 1861, he served with distinction
during the Civil War and retired with
the rank of Major General. Later he
saw western Indian service and had
much to do with making the frontier
safe fer the new settlers.
In command of five troops of the
Seventh Cavalry, he started on a
punitive expedition in southern Mon
tana in 1876. Apprised that large
body of Sioux and Cheyenne were
encamped on the Little Big Horn
river, he arrived there only to be sur
rounded by the sayages who number
ed somewhere around 5000 warriors.
June 25, 1876 will long be remem-
bered in western history, as the Gus
ter command was entirely wiped out.
Custer and his two brothers, died gal
lantly fighting with their comrades
and, through death, helped in ending
the great struggle to subdue the In
dians. The bodies of most of the
soldiers lie at peace on the battle
ground, while General Custer is buried

committees for the day were appoint
ed as four members were not present.
1t was thought best to get the pro-
gram committees working so as TO
get speakers lined up, as owing to
late date of meeting last year consi-
derable trouble was had in lining up
speakers. The committee will put forth
all efforts to have a bigger and bet
ter rally this year than in the past
four years that they have put on this
program.
Edgar was visited by very disas-
ferrous fire at about one o'clock Sat
urday morning. The Crist Jensen
building, occupied by the Vaught Pool
Hall, and the Rex hotel, conducted bv
Mrs. Hart, were completely destroy
ed. Smoke awoke Mr.. McClurg, who
with several other families and room
ers occupied the Rex hotel and by the
time he notified Mr.. Vaught, smoke
was so dense in the pool room that
entrance was impossible. Practically
y
the entire town was aroused and eff
forts were put forth to save contents
from the hotel. Very little of value
was removed from the rooms before
smoke drove the workers from the
building. Every thing was moved from
the Edgar theatre building, adjoining
the burning building, and also from
the Humphrey warehouse, adjoining
the theatre building. The barber shop
situated across the street, was vacat
ed also. By hard work and assisted by
the heavy snowstorm, the fire was
held to the one building, but burning
embers were blown a block away,
practically covering the Baldwin
Lumber and Hardware building. but
were killed by the heavy coating of
snow on the buildings. The front of
the building, occupied by the barber
shop, was scorched and the glass
cracked. A plate glass window in the
Postoffice Drug store was also crack
ed by the heat. Joliet was notified by
telephone and several people from
there came to lend hand. By the
time they reached here the east and
south wall had givne away and dam

en- wayfarer at length lays down his
burden.
His verse is our priceless treasure.
Though the books containing it may
be destroyed, yet from the hearts of
those who love his simple lays each
one may be reproduced.
Through it he built a monument of
love and simplicity and devotion. BY
his genius he gave to humanity heri-
tage imperishable. The storms of cen
turtles may lash the seas till they
wear away their barriers of rock; the
rivers may bear their slowly aecumu-
lating sediment till they fill the hol-
lows of the seas; the face of the
earth may be slowly changed as ages
pass, but human sentiment lives on
ord the ravages of time destroy it
not.

One hundred sixty-nine years ago
next Wednesday in humble cottage
near Ayr, Scotland, child was born
who was destined to attain stature
so heroic that Christendom pays
homage to his memory and his prouc
country halls him as one of the great
est of her sons.
His name more than any other /
that of Scotland condensed in a per
sonality and representative of al
that is grandest and noblest in that
virile, valient, sturdy race.
January 25th is a day on the calen-
dar which is never allowed to pass I'M
observed by anyone in whose veins
there flows drop of Scottish blood.
The observance may not be marked or
formal; but at some hour of the day
the mind is wont to revert to that in
comparable child Of genius, who al
though he was born peasant and died
under equally humbled circumstances,
left a name which is one of the fixed
stars of literature.
There is something pathetic and yet
fascinating in the story of the youth
enslaved by a life of toll, constantly
dreaming of better things, yet power
less to lift himself above his environ
ment. He was the son Of poor farm
er, who was barely able to furnish the
common necessaries of life and the
sensitive nature and tender heart of
the young poet suffered unspeakable
anguish in the reflection that he was
unable to Tighten the burden Of those
about him.
His poetry appeals to all men of all
nations, but to the Scot he is the
spokesman of his race, beloved and
worshipped. And so on next Wednes-
day, wherever they may be the sons
of bonny Scotland will pause in their
daily occupations to pay homage to
that Scot of Scots-gifted poet, warm
hearted patriot, hater Of sham and
hypocracy, outspoken critic, hearty
friend-Robert Burns.
And too, when the Scotchman far
from home next Wednesday hears the
name of Bobby Burns or listens to his
songs or poems of Caledonia, in fancy
he will be a killed, carefree Laddie
once again amid familiar braes at the
old home in the Highlands or the Low
lands; near the merry banks of Clyde
or on the bonny, bonny banks of Loeb
Lomond or somewhere else in that
magic land of mountains, lakes and
fells and glens where the thistle and
the heather grow and blue eyed Las
sizes dwell And then when the vision
fades and he is aroused from his re-
verie it will be to hum "Auld Lang
Syne, "a ton Waters" or some other
old sweet song that helps to soothe the
lonely heart and keep green the mem
DRY of the past.
We need not dwell on the later
years Of the life of Robert Burns. We
know Of the temptations to which he
yielded. We know how his social ma
ture led him to excuses which helped
to mar a life, which had within its
Grasp almost limitless possibilities of
usefulness and power, His faults we
car forgive and forgl'i. For them he
made such atonement as he could, ere
the clouds iriftcd into l'i, intellectual
sky and in the noontide of what
should have been one long refulgent
day Ii. passed into that still country
where the hail storms and fire show
crs do not reach and the heaviest lad
