Greer. lndian fighting is a thing of the past now, but we mugt remember that it was only about a generation ago that General ”Custer and his men were sur- rounded and, massarred by redskins. There is an old ordnance sergeant at one of the Atlantic coast forts who was a youngster in the ranks of the regular army in those days and pass- edva good many years on the plains. where Indian fighting was the order or the guy. He tells yarns about his experiem-es, some of them bloodcurd- ling, some simply amazing. Here is one of the latter class: ‘ The Apaches were the worst var-i mints one had to deal with. and we were more afraid of them than any other savages. They were more treacherous. more merciless and prac- ticed more deceptive methods than any other tribe with which 1 had the honor to exchange shots. When we were hunting them we were more sure that they weren’t hunting us. Any man going to a swing for water. drop ping out of the ranks to (001 off or in any wise going oii’ by himself was liable to be taken in. and so noise- lessly that the rest of the command wouldn’t know anything about it un- til he was missed and some one would be sent back to find him dead and j scalped. One time when we were after a party of Apuehes, not knowing when they would turn on us in the middle of the night. or. more likely. just be- fore dawn. we made preparations that would let us know of their (coming. Our (-ommander had taken the [)I‘QPZIU' tion to bring along some barbed wire fencing, and after getting into camp. before turning in under our blankets. we fem-ed ourselves in. Of course we didn‘t expert to keep off the red devils with a wire fence. especially when we weren’t helping the latter with lead. All We hoped for was a few moments' delay, long enough, you know. to grab our rifles and get on our feet. We hivouacked one evening on a hillside so situated that we couldn‘t very well be taken on the flank. and instead of running the wire around us we stretched it heture us. so that any force coming up the hill must pass over it Though the moon was in the third-quarter, the night. being cloudy. was quite dark. The Apavhes were so sly that in orderto get a warning of their coming we hung all the tin plates. tin cansâ€"~an-ything. in fact, that would rattleâ€"on the wire. I was listening then for an 1 was worth for the slightest sound that would indicate the presence of an en- 1 had to take it out in listening, for I couldn’t see anything unless it was above the sky line. The moon passed a thin space in the clouds just as I heard a tinkle away down at the other end of the fence. Peering in that direction 1 saw something white. I didn’t wish to make a guy of myself by firing at nothing. and I didn’t wish to take any chances with Apaches about i heard another tinkle and saw the white thing move. It seemed to he on the outer side of the fence. but in another moment it was on the in- side. 1 had brought my rifle to my shoulder at the first sound. and. seeing that whatever it was had got in he- hind the fence. 1 let drive. I could hear a prolonged rattle of acmnterments as the line of sleeping men arose. and their rifles sounded like a modern machine gun. The field officers went hurrying about. and the Company officers formed their men. In a few moments they were all stand- ing in line ready for another volley. but the :m-ond volley was never fired. The clouds broke away from before the moon so that we could see what was going on before us. and we found there was nothing going on. No sign of an Apache appeared. The order was given to break ranks. and within ten minutes the men were down on the ground again. most of them snoring loudly enough to keep a sentry from hearing any more tinkling tin plates. 1 was relieved soon after and joined the chorus. The next morning our commander called up the guard of the night before and asked us who had fired the warn- had fired at something white down at the other end of the wire fence. "Something white!” he exclaimed contemptuously. “Did you ever know a redskin to wear anything white? No Indian. no Apache certainly. would wmr anything that could be seen on a dark night." _ I was dismissed with no other rep- rimand than this. if it could Dex-0n- sidpred a reprimand. and Went off to a campfire where my men were making breakfast. "What were you men on guard fir- ing: at last night?” asked one of the men. - "Apnchps." 1 said. putting: on a bum front. “The moment I fired they ske- dnddivd dawn the hill under rover qt thv darkness."

' WONDERFUL TALKING CROW' OF GODERICH, IS DEAD. The school children of Goderich and many of their elders are re- gretting the death of “Peter,” the wonderful talk’ng crow, which was 'the pOpular «pet of little Miss Verna Sallows, and was highlv regarded by the town people as Well as by many visitors to God- erich. Toronto friends have just been notified that “Peter” passed; away on Sunday’ while waiting for the 'merry springtime, when he could go forth to parade the town square or to accompany the youngsters to school, as was his habit. He was a regular attend- ant at school, and when lessons .were on would now and again tap the windows with his beak to .make his presence recognized, in ;the meantime keeping up a chat- {ter an'ddcalling to his playmates, captain 0n Great Lakes Restored To Health By “Fruit- a-tives” ’ “Peter” had a wonderful' vo-I cabulary, but shunned bad lan-: guage. He had a hearty laugh.: and a cheery “Come on” to his little friends, with whom he 'de- lighted to play around the school. On .rainy days he would tell them to “Get in out of the wet,” and would himself fly under their um- brellas for shelter. He used many expressions common to children and would intelligently answer questions. During the Winter months “Peter” was kept in a Warm at- tic at the Sallows home, for fear that the cold Weather would harm him. He said little, but sulked much owing to the confinement. A few days ago he complained of indisposition. On the day he died he remarked several times, “Peter is sickâ€"Peter is awful sick.” Those are said to have been his last words. “Peter” Was indeed a most gifted bird and a great curiosity; His fame has spread far _a_nd wide. The bird came from Algonquin Park, Where it was found some years ago in an injured condition by Mr. Sallows, who is a scenic photographer. Mr. S'allows is at present at Algonquin Park, and will be sorry to learn of the death of his pet.
