Ho Is Lieutenant Colouol Matthew F. Steele, retired, Fargo, N. I), lie believes ho la the ouly officer yet living of those who rodo from Fort ^ utes to Silting Hull's village on the Grand river to support the ludiuu police und help take Sitting Hull to Fort Yates. He described their arrival at the village In u letter to the Sinithsoniun institution: We found the Indian police- besieged in one of Sitting Hull's cabins by his followers, their uuiuiunitiou exhausted. We drove Sitting Hull's band away and found lying dead in front of the cabins, as 1 recall, about twelve dead Indians, Silting Hull's body ainoug the dead. "Hod Tomahawk handed me Sitting Hull's tobacco pouch, which lie had taken off his body. In inspecting his other cabin, where I found his two squaws and his grown son (the lutter flat on the floor under a feather bed). I noticed a portrait of the old man in a deep gilt frame op tho wall; i torbade the three or four troopers that were with me to touch anything in the room; but suddenly I suw one of the extra policemen, whose brother, a regular policeman, lay dead outside, snatch the portrait down and smash the frame with his Winchester and punch a hole through the canvas. He was crying over the death of his brother. I grabbed the portrait from him. "We took Sitting Bull's body and his squaws back to Yates with us, and I took the portrait and tobacco pouch. A day or so later I saw Major McLaughlin, the Indian agent, and told him I had those articles and should like to keep them If his squaws would sell them to me. A couple of days later I saw McLaughlin again, and he said the women said I might have the things for $2.' I gave him $2 for them, i have the picture and the pouch yet. I expect to give them to the state museum at Hismarck or to a museum in Fargo some day." Old Ban On "Leg" Had Some Usage Chicago, Dec. 4.?"Leg" was a horrible word back in Mrs. Grundy's era, | according to Lexicographer M. M. Matthews. Hut the reluctance of refined women of the 19th century to use it resulted in some noteworthy contributions to the American language. "Bosom," "breast" and "leg" were taboo In polite circles 100 years ago, said Dr. Matthews, assistant editor of The Dictionary of American English, now' being published by the University of Chicago Press. He added: " 'Leg' was not to be uttered in mixed company even though it might refer to the leg of a horse, of a table or of a piano. The ladles performed all sorts of linguistic acrobatics to avoid it. At a table they would ask for the 'first and second joint of the fowl' instead of asking outright for I a chicken leg. "From this excessive timidity arose the expressions 'dark meat,' meaning the legs of chickens, and "white meat,' meaning meat from the breast of the fowl. "One young lady Spoke of her "wires' when she referred to her legs. In 1949 Longfellow apparently referred facetiously to this dread of the word leg when he wrote: 'Young misses at boarding schools are not allowed to cross their benders.' " Dr. Matthews suspected American women originated the expression "balloon sleeves" to avoid the British term "leg of mutton sleeves." He related his findings in an address before the Southern Women's Educational Alliance.

"Now lt'b the trailer." Sadly he said that next year hib bund would truvel in truileru. There will be no more cumptlres, uo more Gypsy songs In the flickering light, no more stew cooked over glowing coala, no more slumber under leafy bowera. "Hut," bald Arno, "who waula a cumplire when an oil atovo will do? And how ubout an electric Ice box in the back of every trailer and a radio in every car?" The Gypsy leader buid the motor j car had spoiled the old trail life, "but I 1 buppoae it had to come." The young-, er folk "demanded the modern touth-i ea." "We older folk didn't mind the I nightly camps," ho went on. "Eveni when wo began traveling in cara, the campilrea were part of our routine living. "Then came the trailers. Even the ! older women liked them. Now they can have a house and wauder, too, aa we've done since the tlrat Gypay started out to see the world. They can fix them up us duintily us they please." "Andy," Arno concluded hopefully, "now that we are traveling in style, we may keep more of our young folk with us. They have been growing away from us. They said our life was too slow." One hundred CCC boys in a camp near Reno, Nov., went on a strike for "more and better food." 6-Year Term Urged For U. S. Presidents Omaha, Neb., Doc. 5.?Heuutor Edward K. Uurku, (Democrat, Nobraska), suld today be contemplates introducing at the next session of congress a constitutional amendment proposal to give presidents of the United States a six-year term, with no reelection privileges. "If auch an amendment is not introduced by others favoring six-year terms for presidents, 1 will do so, and urge quick action On the proposal," the senutor suld.

When Jess C. Emerson, 33, of Denver, Col., bumped into a car parked across a pedestrian lane, and broke j his glasses, he edged to the front of the cur und there his sensitive Angers told him the number, which ho reported to the police. The car owner was.issuod a ticket by the police. While President Roosevelt was addressing the Inter-American confer-' ence at Buenos Aires, a voice cried I out, "Down with imperialism."
