CUSTBR.
Hated by the Officers. But Idolised by
the Mea la tha Bajka.
Poor Custer," said one of his men
to a Sioux City Journal man, "I fol
lowed hin. through a great part of
the war of the rebellion as a private
soldier. I followed him afterward
in various capacities during his war
fare on the frontier. And no soldier
of Custers ever did more than follow
him. lie was a leader of his men
not a driver a cavalier general who
asked no man to go where he dare
not tako the lead, and as. the danger
was greater Custer was sure to bo
just so much further in front of hi
column.
Tacticians had censured him for
that, and perhaps he would have
been with us to-day had he aban
doned it But he was a dashing sol
dier, and would rather charge upon
an enemy outnumbering him twenty
to one than seek vantage ground or
lay selge. lie believed it to be his
business to fight, and he let but few
opportunities go by, provided he
thought the enemy worth his mettle.
Cutter had the roost unbounded
faith in the rank aad file of his regi
ment, but he never reposed the least
confldenoe in his subordinate officers.
He gave his personal attention tb tha
minutest details of his command,
saw that every trooper had his full
allowance of rations and' clothing,
and saw, too, that the men attended
Just at carefully to the physical
wants of their hones. He would
never take the word of captain or
lieutenant on such matters. For that
reason the subordinate commissioned
officer hated him as heartily as the
men loved him. He insisted always
on being absolutely in bis command.
"Uut how the boys loved that man!
Their devotion was fittingly demon
strated in an incident in tha general's
last battle, on tha Little Big Horn,
The 200 troopers knew they w
hopelessly outnumbered by an enemy
better armed than themselves. Klght
cavalrymen broke through the Indian
lines and gained a neighboring bluff.
They were praotically out of danger,
for the fine horses which the Seventh
was then equipped with could laugh
at the best Indian ponies. But they
halted on the bluff and, looking back,
saw their leader hemmed in on all
ides by the savage enemy.
One of them said: 'Boys, we can't
do this,' and, alighting, he placed
his carbine against his horso's head
and shot him dead. Then he quietly
released bis revolvers from the rad
dle and, thrusting them into his belt,
started down the slope. The re
maining seven followed suit, and the
little band was annihilated In an
attempt to gain their leader's side on
foot All but one were killed, and
he, being a half-breed, the second
son of Theophile Brugler, of this
county, by his first wife, the daughter
of War Eagle, escaped slaughter, the
infuriated Sioux paying no attention
to any but pale faces. Brugier and
I were friends, and be told me the
incident the second day after the
fight."
No Snakes In JKewhsandlaad,
Everybody knows that there are
no snakes in Ireland, but very few
know that Newfoundland Is just like
Ireland in that respect and there is
no record that Newfoundland had a
St Patrick to drive the snakes off,
either. There Is plenty of game In
Newfoundland, but not a reptile of
any kind snake, toad, frog lizard, or
even turtle. Another queer thing
about the province is that, while
some wild animals are abundant
there, no one ever saw a squirrel,
porcupine, mouse or lynx anywhere
within its boundaries. This is all tho
more singular because the adjoining
provinces of Nova Scotia and Cape
Breton have all these animals and
many kinds of snakes and other rep
tiles. , The Elactrloal Ptable Alarm,
A recent electrical invention of in
terest to horsemen is the electrical
stable alarm. An alarm bell is placed
in the sleeping apartment of the
groom and connected with a spring
circuit closer by means of a small in
sulated wire. The circuit closer is
operated by a light, flexible cord
stretched across the rear of the
stalls. When the horses are dis
turbed in the night by being backed
oat of their stalls by thieves or any
other cause, an alarm is instantly
sounded.
The Klr.t Air rump.
The first public test cf tha air
pump was made in 1651 by its inven
tor, Otto von (iuericke. in the pres
ence of Emperor Ferdinand Of Oer
many. Guerlcke appllod carefully

air by his apparatus he attached fif

them because ot the enormous press
