ONSinnUAHLK In
terest Is being
manifested nil over
the country In the
beautiful nnd strik
ing equestrian stat
ue of G e n e r u 1
George A. Custer
recently placed In
Monroe, Mich., in
honor of the great
Indian lighter, nnd invitations to bo
present at its dedication wore gladly
accepted by many noted army men
nnd civilians, including President Taft.
The figure Is the work of the sculptor
Edwin C. Potter of Greenwich, Conn.,
who received his commission for the
work in tills way:
About three years ago n bill was in
troduced In the Michigan legislature
appropriating ?2o,000 for a Custer me
morial, nnd olllcers and soldiers who
had served in the first brigade of cav
alry raised in the Wolverene State dur
ing the civil war were instrumental in
securing its adoption. The governor
nppotnted three olllcers who had serv
ed in the Michigan brigade Colonel
George G. Brlggs, General J. II. KIdd
nnd Lieutenant F. Nlms to select a
sculptor, nnd they chose Mr. Potter.
They had seen his fine equestrian stat
ue of General Stocum at Gettysburg
nnd were satisfied that he could model
not only n soldier, but could place lilm
on an animal worthy of n cnvnlrymnn.
It was the general's custom to form
his command in line for a charge, then
rldo rapidly townrd his previous re
connoissance, on eminence if possible,
run his eye along the position of the
enemy, then, having grasped tho situ
ation, charge back and give the order
to advance at n gallop. It is claimed
that few were so quick in thought and
decision and comprehension In taking
In all sides of a question or n situation.
With this characteristic in mind as
an inspiration Mr. Potter went to
work, and he has given us n striking
figure. The horse has been halted
suddenly by a tightened rein, his feet
planted firmly together, while tho rider
surveys the Hue of tho enemy for one
Intense instant, his lint clasped in his
band, that its broad brim might not
obstruct the view; tho horse spirited,
but with sympathy und understanding,
as officers' horses so often are after
such intimate daily companionship.
Both horse and man arc young, nlcrt.
confident. The statue is heroic in size
and stands in the center of the village
square In Monroe facing a broad street
of residences.
The story of the Custer massacre has
been told nnd retold, but is always an
intensely interesting one. The Sev
enth cavalry, under General Custer,
wus dispatched by General Terry to

turn tho Indians eastward should they
try to escape. The program was -that
tho forces of General Terry were to
meet General Custer's regiment on
June 20 at the Junction of tho Little
nnd the Big Horn. General Custer nnd
his command rode all night nnd thus
arrived nt the rendezvous ahead of
time.
The Indians, 0,000 strong, wero
camped in the cnnyon-llko valley. Gen
eral Custer decided to nttnek nt once,
nnd with his usual impetuosity lie pro
ceeded. Ho divided his command into
three details and, taking llvo compan
ions, went on with tho nttnek. It is
generally believed that ho had no idea
of the great number of tho Indians.
The commands of Major Ueno nnd
Captain IJenteen were ordered to at
tack from different points, and Custer
himself rodo into tho center of the foe.
Closer nnd closer drew tho Indian
circle. An hour had passed, nnd tho
sun was creeping down to the western
hills. A Crow scout, one of Custer's
men, having disguised himself ns a
Sioux, gained his side nnd offered him
opportunity of escape. Ho refused It.
Many of tho fighting warriors that
knew him well colled ou him to sur
render. Ills answer was to fight tha
more bitterly.
Surrender? Custer uovcr knew tho
meaning of tho word. Llvo when his
mon wcro dead? Ho did not know
what such a thing meant. Out from a
defllo came a puff of smoke, tho ring
of a rifle shot, a flash of flame, nnd tho
colonel of tho Seventli had gone to bis
eternal rest Not a man In tho entire
command survived to tell tho story of
the light.
In summing up tho character of Gen
eral Custer a biographer says, "Truth
and sincerity, honor and bravery, ten
derness and sympathy, unassuming
piety and tcmperanco wero tho main
spring of Custer, tho man."

The Colors of Ecgs.
Mr. A. It. Horwood of tho Loir-ester
(England) Mutctim remarks that tho
colors of birds' eggs can In a large
number of cases be traced to tho
necessity of "protective refembl irco."
White eggs arc usually laid by bird
nesting in holes in tree3. or In dark
sltuntlons. like owls, woodpeckers aud
some pigeons. Most birds nesting on
or near the ground lay eggs of an olive
green or brown ground color. The
eggs of grouse, ptarmigan, and so
forth, resemble the heather among?:
which they nre lnid. Those of ihe
ringed plover, little tern and oyster
cntcher resemble the sand and suln
gle of the beach. The dapwlng's e.-igs
closely simulate bare soil or dr.cd
bents. The young chicks show similar
"protective" colors.
An Animal Census.
According to an official of the
Smithsonian Institution at Wash'ng
ton, the latest enumeration of the ani
mals known to science, Includes ce
less than three hundred and ni qU
species. The real number Is bel.oe
to be much larger.
It hos been estimated that of in
sects alone the earth harbors two mil
lion species; but the late Profesj
Riley, a recognized authority on the
subject, held even that estimate as
far too low. According to his opinion
ten million would be a moderate os I
mato of the number of insect species.
The number of Individuals is, of
course, incalculable.
Alaska's Great Mountain.
The claim of Mount McKlnley, the
culminating peak of the Alasian
range, to be regarded as tho loftles'
point in North America, is sustained
by the report of an exploring pany.
made by one of its members, Mr. A.
H. Brooks. The party made a Jourrey
of 800 miles on foot in Alaska duiing
tho season Just passed. Mr. D. L. It u
burn, the topographer of tho expedi
tion, believes thnt the measureme- U
of mountain heights which were rcaiie
have a probable error not exctoJ n;
100 feet. According to these measure
ments Mount McKinley's elevatloa
definitely exceeds 200.000 feet: that o
Mount Foraker is 17.000 feet. .
When the Doctor is Away.
People are often very much disap
pointed to find that their family p'.-y-slclan
is away from homo when they
most need his services. Diseases like
cramp, colic and cholera morbus re
quire prompt trcntmcnt, and have In
many instances proven fatal before
medicine could be procured or a physi
cian summoned. The right way, Is to
keep on hand n bottle of some reliable
medicine for the relief of such ail
ments, thereby escaping much pain
and suffering, and possibly saving
life.
The Storm-Nose at Sea.
The picturesque name of Storm
noso (Gewitternaso) is given in Ger
mnny to the wavo of high barometric
pressure which often precedes a
storm or a heavy squall. The baro
meter rises suddenly, and then fall
more gradually. It Is believed that
this phenomenon is responsible ior
sudden changes In the lovel of the u-a.
Observations on the seas surroundns
Denmark have led to tho conclusion
that the change of level thus produced
sometimes amounts to no less than
three feet.
Bald Heads.
Thomas, five years old, came face
to face the other day with an uncle
ho had nover seen before, and no
ticed that this uncle had a bald head
surrounded by n fringe of hair such
a hoad as the cartoonists used to draw
of David B. Hill. This fact, added to
tho uncle's extreme height and thin
noss, excited Tommy's comment.
"8ny, mamma," ho said, turning to
his mother, "my now undo grew up
so fast his hair didn't have time to
reach tho top of ills head!"
A Test for Eyesight.
An Interesting test for eyesight
may bo had by observing Ursa Major
tho Great Bear on a clear starlit
night. Not ovoryone Is awaro that
Mlzar, the second star in tho constel
lation, Is a double star. To observq
this doublet demnnds good vision.
Some starry night look up to tho sky
and see it you can discern it. If you
do see it, you can rest content in tho
knowlodgo that your eyesight is not
defective.

"GOLDEN RULE" K0HLER.
Risa of Famous Police Chief Against
Whom Charges Are Brought.
Frederick Kohlcr, known the coun
fy over as the "Golden ltule" chief of
police of Cleveland, against whom
chnrges of Immorality were recently
brought, rose to the head of the police
department from the rnnk of patrol
man. He became n member of the
force iu 1880 nnd tramped n beat for
six years. Less than thirteen years
ngo ho received his first promotion.
His rlso to the office of chief wns then

evolved In the chief's mind. His Is
the best explanation.
"I may be a dreamer," he said re
cently, "but my dreams have come

The Old Time English School.
Until comparatively recent times
public school boys in Euglnnd had
many hardships to endure. As into as
1834 a writer who spoke from experl
once said that "tho inmates of a work
house or a Jnll were better fed and
lodged than the scholars of Eton."
Boys whose parents could not pay for
a private room underwent privations
that might have broken down a cabin
boy nnd would be thought Inhuman if
inflicted on a galley slave.
"They rose at 5, winter nnd sum
mer, and breakfasted four hours inter,
tho iutervnl being devoted to study,
after they had swept their rooms nnd
made their beds. The only washing
accommodation wns n pump. The diet
consisted of an endless round of mut
ton, potatoes nnd beer, uoue of them
too plentiful or too good.
"To bo starved," says this writer,
"frozen nnd flogged such was the dal

DOO AS A GUIDE.
Takes the Place of His Master In
Showing Visitors Over Estate.
Nino kilometers south of Dlnard
(lltc-ot-Vllatno). on passing through
tho vlllago of Plcurtult and descend
ing Into tho deep valley of Fromur tho
visitor finds tho Crochnls ponds, a
widening of tho river in n romantic
spot between wooded slopes whoso
dork verduo Is reflected In the sombro
waters.
Tho wholo valley being prlvnto
property dependent upon tho neigh
boring Castlo of Crochals, which domi
nates tho hill, would-be visitors aro
directed to npply at the mill, whoso
great wheel Is turned by tho waters
of tho first pond. Tho miller pockets
IiIb gratuity, points out the intricate
paths that must bo followed, then
calls "Bernard" and Indicating tho
visitors tells Bernard to go with them.
Bernard is tho dog that acts as guldo
in order to save the miller the Jour
ney and explanations.
Tho dog trots quietly along in front
of thoso entrusted to his care, nnd
If they tako a bypath lie stops and
wnits till they rejoin him. It is easy
to understand him. Tlu walk is about
a kilometer and a half ns far as the
second pond, where It terminates.
Bernard goes no further. If one tries
to continuo it is nt his own risk and
peril. Bernard will not budge from
tho spot, but squats down or carries
on n flirtation at the 3econd mill till
one returns.
As soon as ho sees tho visitor re
turning Bernard runs along the path
back to tho first pond, and without re
passing tho mill where tho visitor was
committed to his charge he conducts
him directly to tho road for Pleurtult.
Then when he sees tho visitor set off
on foot or In a carriage he turns his
back and trots off home, and no
amount of persuasion will Induce him
to accompany any one further on tho
road.
WORKING ON THE CARS.
No Place Like New York for That,
Says a Western Visitor.
"Wo have something of a reputa
tion out West for hustling," said an
Omaha man, "but I never saw such
persons as New Yorkers, both men
and women, for working on the sur
face, tho subway and the elevated
cars, to say nothing of the ferryboats.
I wonder the companies don't find
some plan for renting desk room in
public conveyances. It is customary
to seo men reading on tho cars every
where, but you have to come to New
York to find half tho pnssengern on n
car correcting typewritten manu
scripts, humming over musical scores,
casting up nccounts in little memo
randum books or on the back of an en
velope, and poring over shorthand les
sons.
"Persons studying foreign lan
guages read them aloud on the cars
and nobody appears to pay any atten
tion to them except visitors from
other cities."
Ropes of Human Hair.
Tho egg gatherers of St. Hilda con
sider themselves rich if their prospec
tive brides are able to furnish them
with a rope of human hair. The ropes
vary in length, a really good one of
forty or fifty feet being especially
prized. Tho usual kind is a stout
hempen cord wrapped round and
round with sheep's wool; over this Is
a lining of horsehair; finally strands
of human hair. To manufacture such
a rope is tho work of years but tho
St. Kindan girl scrupulously saves hor
hair combings. A curiosity collector
wished to buy a fine specimen of hair
rope but tho $125 offered was refused.
The cord in question was venoored
with auburn hair tho thirty years col
lection from heads of parents, aunts
and cousins.
