When a woman appears radiantly on the scene, all the mere males become as meek as lambs and hang around patiently to be told when to fetch and eggs, carry. There may be hard-boilefellows who boast themselves who rebel agatnst the fuct, who wouldnt let any woman boss them no, no, not they Even they are not half so Independent of milady as they fondly Imagine themselves to be. Sooner or later they succumb, pleasurably, along with those of their brethren who are just waiting for a glance of that bewitching eye to fall for anything that may be commanded of them. Anyhow, woman soon runs the ship of state, vote or no vote. And so In the Legion. Women may not be numerous In the enrollment But they wield power.

D., American Legionnaires burled him with full military honors. But Samuel Mark Terry, nephew of General Terry of Civil war and Indian war fume, was not the typical gamderelict who bebling, comes a squawman of necessity or slothfulness, hated by both the Indian and the white man. When Terrys body was lowered Into the grave at the Rosebud Indian Reservation cemetery, the intoned moan of sorrow that went up from the red men surrounding the grave betokened a different type of squawman, for these sorrowing Indians were mourning the passing of a man who had spent many years of his life in the United States army as a scout and fighter of their people. Terry was born In New York September 1, 1830. He joined the United States army In 1858 and a gunshot wound received In the Civil war caused him to wear a silver quaiter in his throat the remainder of his life. Handicapped by his wounds, Terry went into the west country and continued in government service as a scout and Indian fighter. For many years he evaded the whizzing arrows of the Sioux, only to succumb to a more deadly arrow flung from the bow of romance. Ills detachment was about to attack an Indian village in 1867 with orders to kill every man. During the fighting a figure was seen moving in the tall grass. The long musket of a scout raised slowly to rid the world of another red varmit" when Sam Terry suddenly grasped the barrel and ordered them to wait while he investigated the moving figure in the grass. Search revealed a beautiful Indian muiden. After the attack she followed Terrys every step as a faithful dog follows a master, and Sam Terry was her master, the gods had willed it so. Terry became a squawman and a real lover of the Indians. Sam Terry, old timers say, was a noble character. After serving his country faithfully for twenty-thre- e years, much of the time In the capacity of a professional enemy of the Indian, he found It In his heart to accept them as brothers, to serve them with understanding and tolerance. It was largely through the influence and effort of Sam Terry that mutual understanding between the Indians and the Great was White Father at Washington brought about. wife-beatin- g n'ower m complete new A set of dependable Champions at least once a year gives more power and speed.
