Wood ii Concerning thc passing of this just ly famous Sioux Warrior, who recent ly died at Standing Kock Agency, North Dakota. J wish to Bay a few tilings. A Chicago daily of receut date stated that llain-in-the Face, Grcd thc fatal shot that killed thc brave Gen. Custer. As a matter of fact the doughty sub-chief never claimed to have killed Gen. Custer When it is recalled that the little band of about ?WO soldiers was sur rounded by several thousand blood thirsty savages, ail well armed and tiring as fast as they could load, it is impossible to say just who did it. Moreover, Rain-in-thoFace, so far from ch'iming that ho killed the gen ! oral, plainly stated that he did not see him during the fight to recognize him, and asserts that the only reason Custer was not soalped was because other bodies wore piled on top of his, and the Iudians failed to find him Ilowover, we will let the chief tell his own story in his own way of that noted battle, not massacre. I bave noticed thai when the white soldiers gained a victory over the Indians it was a battle, but should the fortunes I of war bo in favor of the Indians, as ! was the case in thc defeat of llamar, St. Clair, Stillman and Custer, then it was a massacre. As there were no white survivors of the battle of tho Little Big Horn to tell tho tale, Sitting Bull, Gall and Kain-in-the Face, Itiomagaju, have each been induced to give their ver sions of it. I have not thought it best to quote Sitting Bull's statement. Ile was absent at the time of the bat tle, "making medioine." took no ac tive part in it, and I consider the whole story as either drawn on his imagination, or that of the reporter ! who interviewed him. I quote tho aooount of Kaio-in-the-Faoe, beoause he at least was present at the battle, and is the accredited slayer of Capt. Tom Custer. It seems that Rain in-the-Faoe had waylaid aad murdered Dr. Housicgef; a veterinary surgeon,'and Mr. Bali ran, a sutler, who were stragglers in the rear, at the time of tho Yellow stone expedition under Gen. Stanley. Not long after this Rain-in the-Faoe, with other young Sioux, took part in the sun dance, a ceremonial perfor mance of great torture, in which the aspirants give final proof of enduranoe and courage which entitled them to the toga virilis of a full-fledged war rior. One feature of it is the BVA ponsion in the air of the candidate by a rawhide rope passed through the slits ant in the breast, or elsewhere, until the flesh toar? Mid be falla to ; be ground. If h i faints, ?ollera, or fcillr. or even gives way momentarily to his anguish during the period of si ? pen sion, he ia called and treated as a MI uaw for the rest of his miserable l.f.-. K I ward Edmond says Rain-in-thc ' Face waa lucky when he was so tied up The tendons gave way easily, and was released after so short- a Bus pensi?n that it waa felt that he had not fairly won his spurs. Sitting Bull, *be ohief sedisisc mas, ds= ci dec that the' test was unsatisfactory. ll tin-iu-tho Faoo thereupon defied Sitting Bull to do his worst, dedaring i there was no test which oould wring a murmur of pain from bis lips. ? Sitting Bull was equal ta the 00? basion. He out deep slits in tho back over the kidneys, the hollows re maining were big enough almost' to take in a closed fist years after, - and passed the rawhide rope . through them. For some t#0 days the young Indian hung suspended, " taunting hie torturers, jeering : at them, defying them to do their worst, while singing his war songs and boasting of bis deeds. The tough flesh, musoles and tondons would not tear looso, although he kicked and struggled violently to get free. Fiually, Sitting Bull, satis fied that Rain-in-ihe-Faoo*B oonrege and enduranoe were above proof, or dered buffalo skins to ; bo tied to bia legs, and the .added weight with some more vigorous kicking enabled th? ?n dian stoic to break freo. It wa? one of the most wonderful exhibitions of atoioism. endurance and courage wit nessed among tho Sioux, whore these qualities were not inf request* ^ Rain-in. tbc-Face. had passed the test.

Chieftain Who Was Reputed -Hie Story of the Fight. Q Tho Standard. called Long hair. Ho wa? put in tho guard house, and condemned ?o exe cution, hui with tho aid of white pris Dcr8,niadc hi? escape. Before doing BO, however, he told Tom Custer, in the event of his escape, ho would cut his heart out and cat it. From now ou we will let thc noted warrior tell his own story as found in "Outdoor Life" of March, PJ03: "I rejoiued Sitting Bull and G?ll. They were afraid to come end get me there. I sent Little Hair a picture, on a piece of buffalo skin, of a bloody heart. Ho know 1 didn't forget my vow. The next time I oaw Little Hair-ugh! I got his heart. I have said all." Indian-like ho Btopped. But we wanted to hear how he took Tom Cus ter's heart, McFadden, who is an artist as well as an actor of note, had made an imaginary sketch of "Custer's Last Charge." He got it and handed it to Rain-in-the Face, saying: "Does that look anything like the fight?" Rain-in-the-Faoo studied it a lung time, and then burst out laughing. "No," he Batd, "this picture is a lie. 'Thooo long swords* have have swords-they never fought us with swords, but with guns and re volvers. These men are ou ponies they fought us on foot, and every fourth man held tho others' horses. That's always their way of fighting. We tie ourselves onto our ponies and fight in a oirolft. These people are not dressed as we dress iu a fight. They look like agency Indians-wo atrip naked and have ourselves and our ponies painted. This pioture gives us bows and arrows. We were better armed than the 'long swords.' Their guns would not Bhoot but onoe -the thing would not throw out the empty cartridge shells." (In thio he was historically oorreot as dozens of guns were picked up on the battle field by Gen. Gibbon's command, two days after with the shelU still stick ing in them, showing, that the ejec tors would not work.) "When wo found they could not shoot we saved our bullets by knocking the 'long Bwords' over with our war clubs-it was just like killing sheep. Some of them got on their knees and begged; we spared none-ugh! This pioture is like all the white man's pictures of I Icdians, a lie. I will Bhow you how it 'looked." j Then turning it over he pulled out a slump of a lead pencil'from bia pouch sud drew a large shape of a letter S turned sidewise. "Here," said he, "is the Little Big Horn tiver; we had our lodges along the banks in the j shape of a tent bow.' ' j "How many lodges did you have?" asked Henry. . I "Ob, many, many times ten. We were lise bisdee cf grass/' (It is es timated that there wore between 4,000 and 6,000 Indians, honoe there must have been at least a thousand lodges." . "Sitting Bull had made big medi cine way off on a hill. . He came in with it; bo had.it in a bag or a coup atiok.

Our equaws caught them, for they wero tired out. "1 had sung tho war song-I had soielt tho powder smoke. My heart was glad-I was like one that had no mind. I rushed ia and took their flag; my pony foll dead as I took it. I out tho thong that bound me. I jumped up and brained the 'long swords' flagman \?ith our war club and ran baok with the flag to om line. "Tho Moog swords' blood and braint splashed in my face.

This time saw Little Hair. I remembered rn; vows. I was crazy. I feared nothing I knew nothing would hurt me, for had my white weasel tail charm on.' (He was wearing the charm at th timo he told this.) "I don't know how many I kille trying to get at him. He knew me. laughed at him and yelled at him. saw his mouth move, but there wi so much noise 1 couldn't hear h voice. He was afraid. When I g< near enough I shot him with my r volver.

The Guv erneuern is about to estab lish a model apiary ai the Arlington Experimental Farm, across the Poto mac from Washington. Various raeea of honey-getting bees will be kept there for experimental purposes,among them one or more colonies of the so called "giant bees" of India, which specially and for tbe first time will be imported into thio country. These giant bees, one apeoics of which is found in tbe Philippines, >c muoh larger than tbe little honey gatherers to which we are accustomed. They arc plentiful in India, and though thoy never havo been domesticated, enormous quantities of their combs are collected, chiefly for wax, which is an article of considerable export from that country. One may seo tons of it"* stored in warehouses ut Calcutta und other seaports. These are forest bees, dwelling in the wild weeds. They dc .ive in hi rec. but suspend theisr hugo combs from limbs of lofty tree? The natives are exceedingly afrai^ of them, telliog incredible tales of their ferocity, and even narrating instances where swamis of thc insects have at tacked villages and killed macy people. Nevertheless, for the sake of gain, professional bee-hunters are engaged regularly in the occupation of robbing the honey-makers of their stored sweets. The bee-hunter in India wears no clothing except a breecboloth, and lacking a bee-veil or other proteo- ; tion, ho uses stratagem. Having lo cated a comb, he climbs the tree-or perhaps it ia a lofty ledge of rock from which the cqtnb hangs-and holds a long stick with a bunna of ig nited leaves on the end of it in such a way that the smoke will drive out the bees. The latter rise in a cloud into the air above the comb, while the robber outs it away aod lowers it to the ground.-rChristian Work and Evangelist. im At tho bottom ts a picture o? alarm on which oar fertilizo rs Were not unca.
