But it works as the great dime-novel thrill of boy- hood for millions of us. For nearly half a century a controversy has raged, Whether there was a survivor of Custer’s valiant cavalry, The controversy is settled. Uncle Sam has found a sur- yivor—Shuh-shee-ahsh, better known as Curly, a Crow In- dian scout now on the pension list. More than 300 were wiped out on Custer’s side, Curly, the only survivor, escaped by mingling with the attacking Indians until he was able to slip away. The leading events of 1876 are interesting, by contrast, in 1928. The Philadelphia Centennial took place that year. President Grant and Dom Pedro, visiting emperor from Brazil, started the famous Corliss engine that set in motion the machinery of this world’s fair with its 190 buildings. Other big events of 1876: The first American cremation furnace was completed at Washington, Pa., the body of Baron De Palm being the first “job.” Elections were actually taken seriously, Grant had to declare South Carolina in a state of insurrection and send “regulars” there to preserve the peace at the elections. Feeling generally ran so high that soldiers were dis- tributed all thru the South and in New York city and Washington, D. C. The Tilden-Hayes dispute. Over 300 were killed in the stampede at the fire in the Brooklyn (N. Y.) theater during a performance of “The Two Orphans.” Colorado was admitted to the Union, The president’s secretary was placed on trial for com- licity in the great whisky frauds. Acquitted. The pro- fi ion reform party held a convention in Cleveland, nom- inating Green Clay Smith of Kentucky for president. President Grant vetoed a bill reducing his salary to 000. ’ Edward Dubufe'’s celebrated painting, “The Prodigal Son,” valued at $100,000, was destroyed at the burning of Melodeon hall, Cincinnati. Any one of these lead events of 1876, occurring in 1923, would keep people talking for months. We're still in- terested basically in the same old things, tho we do the things in different ways.

Somebody Settle This, Quick! - Oh, Lord! the country is in for another championship test loaded to the muzzle with endurance! t the national convention of Daughters of the Ameri- ‘can Revolution, in session at Washington, Mrs. G. Han- rar, candidate for president general of that order, has en to declare that the D. A. R. president is “the real first lady of the land”; and, Mrs. Warren Harding having ends present, the Daughters are at each other with war vim enough to suit any American revolutionist who ever pulled a trigger. Endurance contest? Believe us, it is! We've been, lited on, several times, by D. A. R. daughters, old or young, wrinkled or just perfectly beautiful, for subscrip- tions, or other aid, and every Daughter A. R. has endur- ance to burn. Of course, the matter of champion first lady must be settled. _The country can’t go staggering along much longer without a real first lady, with its millions and mil- lions of real ladies without definite leadership. But The “Star raises its right hand, first thing, to swear that it takes no part in awarding the championship. The editorial nose will be loyally kept on the grindstone in respect to most other matters, but it, positively, will not be risked a crowd of ladies trying to pick out “the real first tady of the land,” or of the D.
