Henry's "Gift of the Magi"; Henry Van Dyke's "The Other Wise Man" and many, many more. These are classics. Here is another epic and classic in courage and sacrifice. This story is commemorated in its truth in a plaque before "Old Bedlam", the bachelor of ficers' quarters at Old Fort Lar amie, a few miles over the Ne-j braska line in Wyoming. This plaque marks the end of the Christmas rid of John Phillips in 1866. John Phillips was a Portugese emigrant, a civilian teamster at Fort Phil Kearney, located near present-day Sheridan, Wyom ing. Fort Phil Kearney was one of tWree major outposts of the U.S. Army guarding the Boze man Trail through Wyoming Indian country to the gold camps of Montana. j, The outposts and trail were in Sioux hunting grounds without permission and the intrusion was bitterly re sented by Chief Red Cloud. His warriors beseiged the forts and trail. Dec. 21, 1866, Sioux warriors trapped and wiped out the 81 man command of Captain W. J. Fetterman almost within sight of the fort. As a result only a handful of soldiers were left to defend it. There were women and children in the garrison. A blizzard and 40-degree below zero temperatures swept down from the Arctic. Colonel Henry Carrington, in command, asked for volunteers to ride to Fort Laramie for reinforcements. Almost no one belived there was any hope of a successful ride through the blizzard and cold and beseiging Indians. But one volunteer John Phillips agreed to ride. In the middle of the night, the civilian rider, mounted upon Colonel Carrington's favorite horse, slipped out of the fort by its water-gate and began his long and exhausting ride. Christ mas Eve and Christmas Day he rode, with brief stops at Fort Reno and an overland telegraph station; and came to Fort Lar amie Christmas night during a dance being held at "Old Bed lam." Colonel Carrington's horse col lapsed and died there; and John Phillips passed his dispatches and gasped out the danger to the women and children at Fort Phil Kearney. A Christmas story? Most cer tainly, yes. As true as the story of the infant Jesus, the sheperds watching by night, and the Wise Men riding from far lands. John Phillips freely offered the greatest gift any man can offer his own life to bring hope to helpless women and children. Yes, God must have been riding with John Phillips that Christmas a century ago, for men said it could not be done.

The setting was the room of an Egyptian inn, bare except for 2 chairs and a table with oriental coverings, while a tall vase of papyrus .grass and bull rushes stood in one corner. A shepherd boy (Jimmie Ben der) appears and meets one ot the wisemen who has been to Bethlehem. (Joe Bender).

A little later a banging is heard on the door of the inn and the inn keeper (Murray Mutter) lets In Mary (Dorothy Parsons) who sits down in one of the chairs with the baby Jesus (Jeff Parsons) while Jos eph (Lanl Beach) argues with the innkeeper. Payment made, the innkeeper brings in a tray of refreshments, draws the curtains and leaves. Happy to be safe in Egypt, Mary croons to the baby and falls a sleep.
