Big Bat and Little Bat

TN THE post cemetery at Fort
l. Robinson, Neb., among the long
rows Of little headstones, all OF
which look exactly alike, Is one that
bears this inscription: "Baptisto
GARNER, Employee Q. NJ. D." And
this marks the end of the trail for
a really great frontiersman.
For Baptiste mot Baptisto) Gar
nier was the Little Bat" of Sioux
Indian war days, a scout for our
hard-riding hard-fghting troopers In
the seventies, eighties and nineties,
a guide for many party of big
game hunters and an interpreter In
many an important council-certain-
ly a man who deserved a better
memorial than this.
officers of the old army will tell
you that there were two Bats
"Big Bat" and Little Bat"-both
of them good men and true. big
Bat" was Baptiste Fourier, scout
for General Crook during the cam
paign of 1875 and hero of a daring
escapade at the Battle of Slim
Buttes.
Little Bat" was the son of a
French father and a Sioux Indian
mother and he grew up among his
mothers people near old Fort Lar
annie. valuable as were his services
to the whites as a scout during the
Sioux war of 1876-77, they were
even more valuable as interpreter
when Red Clouds Ogalalas were
finally penned up on a reservation
and started on ''the white mans
road" during the eighties. When
the Ghost Dance excitement started
among the Sioux in 1890, If Little
Bats" advice that the Indians be
left alone until they had danced
themselves out" had been followed,
it might have averted some of the
tragedies which followed.
One of these tragedies was the
Battle of Wounded Knee and there
Little Bat" had one Of his narrow
est escapes. Acting as interpreter
he walked among the lodges of Big
Foot's camp, unarmed, to impress
the Indians of his conviction that
they were in no danger. Then the
firing started. In the storm of bull
let's his clothing was pierced several
times, but by some miracle he es-
capped death.
Eight years later a murderer's
bullet accomplished what those fred
in battle could not do. For Little
Bat" was shot down in Crawford,
Neb., by a barkeeper whom he had
regarded as his friend and VINO was
never punished for the cold-blooded
murder of a man noted for his
peaceable disposition, as well as for
his stark courage in time Of danger.

SELECTION OF POWDER

I AM not a stickler for statistics,
L but / am quite sure that every
day some young lady somewhere is
experiencing the thrill Of dabbling
her nose with powder for the first
time.
Mothers should help their young
daughters In the selection of a
good powder. They should prepare
their daughters for the problem Of
powder and makeup, just as they
do for the problems of life.
Today we are concerned with the
young girls first acquaintance with
powder. II should be a very good
powder Her delicate loveliness de-
serves the best, and 1t can only be
preserved with the best creams, To-
tions and cosmetics. No harsh,
caustic materials should touch her
skin.
l emphasize this particularly, not
so much for the more modern of
our mothers who allow their young
daughters to use powder. They
know the requisites of a good DOW
der and usually buy a box for
daughter or allow her to use some
of their own. But it is surprising
how many mothers, even In this
day and age, raise a firm maternal
hand and shake their heads mega
lively to daughters every plea for a
little powder. Somehow the super
stition still exists that powder is
harmful. Bad powder is bad for the
skin. But a good quality powder,
powder that is made of non-caustic
materials, contains only pure in
gradients, a powder that Is of that
just right texture will never hurt
the skin.
By that just-right texture I mean
not too heavy, for a heavy powder
may clog the pores. On the other
hand, a too fine powder does not
stay on very long. The slightest
Whit of wind will blow 1t off. The
perfect powder clings without Civ
ing that obviously powdered look.
1t gives the skin a delicate and
lovely finish and tones down shine.
But it should not give the skin
dull and dry as parchment look nor
should it take away that fresh dew
mess that is so alluring a charac-
teristic of the healthy young skins.
When you see little fiaky patches
on chin and cheeks you may be sure
the skin they belong to is the dry
type. This skin is usually clear.
thin, transparent, not heavy, coarse
or dull. 1t is not an ugly skin. On
the contrary it is delicate and love
ly. But it shows the tendency to-
ward crowsfeet lines and wrinkles
sooner than any other type. The
dry skin is today's warning of to-
morrow's wrinkles.

Fifty Famous
trOntiersmen
By
ELMO SCOTT WATSON
"Fitz of the Broken Hand"

"Fitz of the Broken Hand"
II ISTORY has given to Gen. John
L G. Fremont the title of "The
Pathfinder and made him famous.
But it Is strangely silent about the
man who once found the path" for
Fremont and who probably knew
more obscure corners of the Great
West than any other man Of his
time, not even excepting such
worthless as Kit Carson, Jedediah
Smith and Jim Bridger.
Thomas Fitzpatrick was his name
and he was young Irishman who
came to this country about 1916 and
Joined the famous Ashley fur trad
ing expedition into the Upper Mis-
souri, country in 1923. The next
year he accompanied Jedediah
Smith on the exploring expedition
which discovered South Pass.
One of the organizers Of the
Rocky Mountain Fur company, he
soon became "chief Of the mountain
men" and was a leader In the dra-
matte struggle between rival British
and American companies for su-
premacy in the fur trade. After five
years Fltzpatrick's company sold
out to John Jacob Astor, for he saw
the inevitable decline of that in
dustry.
But his next occupation added to
his reputation, for In 1S41 he led
the first emigrant wagon train TO
Oregon; In 1S43 he guided Fremont
on his second expedition to Cali
fornia and back; in 1916 he guided
Kearney's Dragons on their expe-
dition to South Pass, Fort Laramie
and Bent's Fort, and in the same
year he went with Lieutenant AL
bert on his southwestern survey.
The next year he was again Kear-
ney's guide, this time on the famous
march Of the dragons to Santa Fe.
After the war with Mexico was
over, Fitzpatrick was made agent
for the Indians Of the Upper Platte
and the Arkansas. AS a trapper
and a trader he had been one of
the most sklllful Indian fighters on
the plains, but because of that fact
Broken Hand" as the Indians
called him, had the respect of every
redskin In the region. SO he made
record as an Indian agent and ex-
ercised a control over the red men
which has never been equaled, ex-
cept possibly by that other Irish
man OF an earlier day, Sir William
Johnson, the one white man the In
dlans Of the East ever trusted.
Fitzpatrlck's crowning achieve
ment was the great Indian council
Of 1851 at Fort Laramie at which
10000 Indians of all tribes forgot
for moment their ancient enmi-
ties to smoke the pipe together be-
cause Broken Hand" told them to.
He died In 1854, a white-haired and
broken man at the age Of fifty-five.
If he had lived a few years longer
there might have been fewer shame
full pages In our Indian history.

Tormented for
Five Years
with Dandruff
Healed by Cuficura

"For nearly five years l was tor
mented with dandruff. My scalp
itched and burned and became very
sore and red from scratching. My
hair became thin and dry and fell
out in handfuls, and the dandruff
scaled off and could be seen on my
clothing.
II had lost all hope of ever being
healed. A friend told me about Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment and sent
for free sample. The first applica-
ton stopped the itching so I bought
more, and I used only one cake of
Cuticura Soap with two boxes Of
Cuticura Ointment and was healed"

3-PO|NT SAAR
RULE URGED
To LEAGUE

GENEVA, Nov. Is QN.S0.-A
three-point program governing the
future of the Saar territory in the
event the population votes to re-
tain the status quo in the January
plebiscite has been recommended
to the League of Nations Council
by q special League Saar Commits
sion meeting in Rome.
Aiming at solution of one of the
outstanding issues involved in the
plebiScite, the committee recon-,
mended:
/. That the plebiscite shall
not be final in case retention OF
the satus quo. under League SUI
pervision, is voted. According
to the principles laid down by
President Wilson when the
League was formed, the Saar
population always will have the
right to freely determine its own
destiny"
2. That the population be
given a very large" share in
its own government under the
League in the future.
3. That assurance be given
the population that the SaarS
democratic institutions shall be
maintained with the right to
determine its own form OF
government, with diminished
control from the League.
This plan would be put into
effect in the event SaarlanderS
vote to remain under League
control, declining to go back
to Germany or become a part
Of France.
