‘'Sitting Bull, with a large number of warriors, attacked one of our supply trains and held it in check until its
escort was strongly reinforced.”
(Copyright by the Cosmopolitan Magazine, Republished by permission.)
Stirring and hitherto unwritten his-
of the struggle between the white
and the red races fi r the mastery of
the west, runs through the recollec
tions of General Nelson A. Miles, in
the Cosmopolitan M gazlne.
Page after page is filled with un
numbered and nameless fights whieh
tell of the sAvage heroism of the In
dian, battling to hold the hunting
grounds of his fathers, and the cour
age, daring and fortitude of the hand
ful of white troops who wrested that
great territory from the red man.
In the June number General Miles
tells of a fight, in the heart of win
ter. in a cup-like formation of the
mountains, where a few hundred of
his troops were surrounded by more
than a thousand savages, and but for
the coolness and courage of his men,
there might have been another Little
Big Horn.
General Miles had concealed his
cannon In the guise of wagons and it
waj not until the Indians opened fire
from the hills, on all four sides, that
the cannon were unlimbcred. Still the
position of his command was despor
ate: and it was necessary to stdTm a
high bluff, in the face of the Indians'
fire, or slowly be shot to pieces.
Led by their officers, the troops
bravely rushed the steep ascent. Num
bers dropped, killed and wounded, but
the others kept on.
In front of the Indian line a chief.
Big Crow, in full war panoply,
danced along Inviting the fire of the
white men. He had told his followers
that he could not be touched by the
bullets of the white men. His exampl*
Inspired his followers and it was not
until a soldier took careful and de
liberate alm at the bounding figure,
and shot him dead, that the troops
could force the red men’s line.
Their chief's “medicine” had failed
and they fled.

At least four of the articles con

Texas Magazine, just from the press,
might well be termed “features."
"Where Texas ‘Gets In’ On the Pana

what the completion of the "biff
ditch” will mean to Texas—not'only to
tge seaport towns, but those of the in
terior as well. George F. Paul has a
delightful sketch of beautiful Cuer

One of the most beautiful and ten

Sita resolved to follow him:
"For the faithful woman follows whera
her wedded lord may lead.
In the banishment of Rama. Sita's exile
is decreed."
Profesior Hannah appraises as one
of the most touching passages in
world literature, the lines in which
Sita decla’es h?r deathless devotion:
"Thou nrt my king, my guide, my only
refuge, my divinity.
It Is my fixed resolve to follow thee. It
thou must wander forth
Through thorny trackless forests. I will

The prickly brambles to make smooth

The bed of leaves, a couch of down. To
me the shelter of thy presence
Is better far than stately palaces, and
paradise itself.
Protected by thy arm. gods, demons,
men shall have no power to harm

Roaming with thee in desert wastes, a
