Harney’s Sioux expedition who spent the winter of 1855-30 there, and this “bloody ranehe” which they were execrating, was Fort Pierre, South Dakota’s most famous fort. An array legend nsserts that It was founded by Peter the Hermit, survivor of the First crusade, who selected this place near the. Bad Lands beiuuse of Its Inde­ scribable dreariness and desolation. In 1835 the United States bought Fort Pierre for a military post, hut abandoned It the next year and moved all Its property to Fort Randall, about 130 miles down the Missouri. Rut even after the old post was abandoned. Its name remained as a landmark for everybody In that region who still spoke of it aa though It still existed. Sometimes a story takes on added ralue in the re-telling of it even though the man who repeats it gets it twisted. This doesn't happen often, still It does happen. I recall an in­ stance : One night at dinner In honor of a distinguished visiting Englishman I was reminded of a yarn which I had from Sam Blythe und when I was called upon by the chairman to speak a few words I told It. and it went very well. It had to do with a pros­ pector In Oklahoma, who, on a Sat­ urday night, bought a quart of moon- I shine whisky and took it to his lonely cabin, anticipating a pleasant Sunday. But as he crossed the threshold he I stumbled und fell, dropping his pre- I clous burden and smashing the bottle, so that Its aromatic contents were wasted upon the floor. Depressed by his misfortune, the unfortunate man went t bed. As he lay there bemoan­ ing his loss, a mangy, furtive, half- grown rut with one ear and part of a tail, emerged timorously from a hole in the baseboard, sat up, sniffed the laden air and then, darting swiftly to where the liquor made a puddle in a depression of the planking, ran out its tiny pink tongue, took one quick sip of the stuff and fled In sudden panic to Its retreat. But it didn't stay; shortly it again appeared, and now a student of rats would have dis­ cerned that a transition had taken place in the spirits of this particular rat. Suddenly it had grown cocky, debonair, almost reckless. It traveled deliberately back to the liquor and Imbibed again. Seemingly satisfied It started for home but, changing its I mind, it returned and partook a third time of the refreshment. Immediate­ ly then Its fur stood on end, its eyes burned red, like pigeon-blood rubles, nnd straightening Itself upon Its hind legs it waved its forepaws in a ges­ ture of defiance and shrilly cried out: “Now, bring on that dad-blamed cat!’’ No one seemed to enjoy my little story more than did the guest of the evening. After the party broke np he made me tell It to him all over again. I could tell from his expression that he was trying to memorize It. In fact, he confessed to me that he expected to us It when he got home as a typ­ ical example of American humor. Six months later I was In London. I attended a dinner. My English friend was the toastmaster. Perhaps my presence recalled to him the anec­ dote he had so liked. At any rate, he undertook to repent it. His version of it rnn for perhaps twenty minutes. He entered into a full exposition of the potency of the illicit distillation known among the Yankees, he said, as "shining moon.” He went at length Into the subject of the habits of rats, pointing out that Inasmuch as rats customarily did not indulge In iutoxicants a few drops of any liquor currying high alcoholic content would be likely, for the time being at least, to alter the nature of almost any rat. At length he reached his point. It ran like this: “And then, this little rodent, being now completely transformed by Its repeated potations, reared bolt up­ right and, voicing the pot-valor of ut­ ter intoxication both in tone and manner, it cried out In a voice like thunder: “ ‘I say, 1 wonder if there isn’t a rat about somewhere?” plsanucedtiCM fU.

From that time until 1855 It was the most Important post of the A. F. C. In the upper Mis­ souri country and w h s the center of the vast trade In bufTalo robes with the Sioux.

From the day in 1804, when Lewis and Clark held their council with the Teton Sioux on this spot. It was vis­ ited every year for the next half cen tury by a siuvcaslon of noted travelers and explorers Among them were George Catlln. the Indian painter. Prince Maxndllan of Weld and Dr Nicollet, who was accompanied hv Lieut John C.

Riggs In 1839 a second or new Fort Pierre was built as a trading poet about two mllea above the site of the old fort. Although It never became so Important as the older fort, around It grew up the settlement which became the city of P le m t South Dakota's capital. „ „ . d . sei ..ole, rash-« •».. Famous Forts in U.

It was nip and tuck between us for quite a while, hut I’ve got my foot on its neck— for the mo­ ment. anyway. I love New York. I love Its noise. Its dirty streets.

It s the chsp who reslly thinks "It cant be d o n «:“— Every body's Msgszine. Nick was the grizzle-headed facto­ tum of an assembly room In a certain southern town. This story, which has to do with him. possesses one merit If It possesses none other— it has the merit of being true. According to local gossip Nick was a sorely henpecked man. It was said that when displeased with him Aunt Eflle. ills mastodonlc wife, had a way of tying his hands behind him and then correcting him with a bed slat. Sometimes she corrected him so thor­ oughly that he limped for a week af­ terward and sat down only on cush­ ioned chairs. If there were no cush­ ioned chairs handy he preferred to stand. Yet Nick bore the secret of his do­ mestic tragedy bravely. He never swore out a warrant for Eflle; never publicly complained of the roughness af her disciplinary methods. But, as the saying goes, the worm will turn, although why It should turn, teeing that a worm Is the same on 9 0 th sides, no one knows. Nick didn't exactly turn, but one time he did bars »Is inner convictions without exactly going into details. Some ladles were decorating the as- > icnibly rooms for a wedding reception which was to follow the ceremony at the bride’s home and Nick was helping them. “So fhey's fixin’ to have ’nothe« marriage, is they?” said Nick, half to himself as he unraveled an armful of "W ell, seems lak | soutnern stnllax. folks will keep on gettin’ married.” He fetched a soft, pensive sigh under his breath. One of the ladies overheard him She knew something of the life Nick ! was said to lead in the privacy of bis home. Mischief led her to speak. “Why.
