CUSTER MASSACRE 10 Bt KtFKOUUUL
Startling Feature at the Lewis and Clarl
Exposition for August 10—In
dians Also to Attend.
Portland. Aug. 1.-There have
been spectacles and spectacles,
but it is reserved for the man
agement of the Lewis and Clark
exposition to create perhaps the
most startling and interesting of
all—a reproduction of the wiping
out of Custer’s band of United
States regulars at the fight on
the Little Big Horn river in the
summer of 1876.
This event, which has gone
down into history as one of the
great tragedies of warfare, will
be given a setting as realistic as
it is possible to make by employ
ing real Indians and real soldiers
to perform the sham battle tac
tics necessary.
A band of 200 or more Uma
tilla Indians from the govern
ment reservation in Oregon will
take the place of the bloodthirsty
Sioux who killed Gen. Custer
and his troopers. For Custer
and his men the soldiers on the
grounds will answer. The fight
will take place on exposed ground
in.the exposition area, where it
may be witnessed by all those in
attendance on the 10th of Au
gust. The Indians will press
closer and closer, until the last
man falls and the tragedy is
complete. Though no scalping
will be done, as in the real mas
sacre, the yelling of the Indians
and the cracking of their rifles
will serve to make the scene
thoroughly realistic.

HOW A TREE IS MURDERED.
it laitance Which Uln»tratN th
DUUcnlty of Deatrorlosr
Oat.
A gentleman of means living in a sub
urban town tells how hl3 mother onc«
undertook to murder a cherry tree, say*
the Chicago Chronicle. “I waa a boy
at the time,” be said. "The tree stood
on our lawn; It had bean planted by my
father, and he loved It with a parental
affection; but It waa an eyesore to my
mother, for she thought It spoiled th«
looks of the garden.
"She decided to murder It secretly
because she knew that my father would
never consent to its removal. For a
long time she pondered, asking herseit
how she might kill the tree without be
mg detected, and finally she decided
that she would use for her weapon boil
ing water. Accordingly whenever my
father was away she would get a kettl*
and, tiptoeing out to the tree with a
guilty look, she would pour boiling
water upon Its roots.
“At first the tree showed no Shange
inder this treatment. After a time,
though, a change began to manifest
Itself. My father noticed It
“ ‘By Jove,’ he said, ‘my cherry tree
seems unusually fine and hearty.’
“And this was a fact. The more boil
ing water my mother poured on the
roots the more the tree thrived and
flourished. Finally, In despair, she gavi
up trying to commit her vegetable mur
aer.
"A florist, to whom she narrated this
strange story one day, laughed when he
heard it. He said it was no wonder the
tree had gotten along bo well. He de
dared that boiling water was oftes
waed cn trees, as it hilled off the worm#
w4 bugs molesting them.”
I'l Acalnlt it.
"Sir, I don't think I quite catch Uha
drift of your remarks." said the haughty
maid who seemed to have suddenly de
veloped a case of refrigerator heart.
“Well, I seem to catch your drift, aU
right, all right,” rejoined the young man
who had been trying to frame up a pro
potal. "It seems to be something on the
order of a snowdrift"—Chicago Dally
