In my opinion this was not only violation of

THE CHIEF OF THE Ma
TION OF THE WILLOWS.
BY F. H. GUSHING.

The present head chief, Ko-hot, is
nicknamed Navajo. He is man of
the most wonderful character. His
portrait in profile, as look upon it,
and to the sketching Of which he
submitted with ease and pleasure,
bears a remarkable likeness to
Washington. / cannot forbear CIV
ing two Instances of his Judgment,
which exemplify his fine sense of JUS
tice, but at the same time his unTe-
lenting will many measure, however
severe, for the good of his own peO-
pie. When the Apache MojayeS were
moved by government to San Carlos,
one of them, discontinued returned,
through his former country, and
after great suffering reached
the home of the He-va-su-pai. He
expressed his wish to live with the
latter people to the end of his days.
Ko-hot convened a council, and after
long and fair deliberation concluded
that it would be offensive to the
Americans should he be harbored,
and endanger his own people, lead
ing ultimately. perhaps, to their re-
moYal as well. He therefore in
formed the Apache that, notwith-
standing he was member of ma
tion of enemies, he felt for him, but
could give him the choice of but
two alternatives, return TO San
Carlos or death. The Apache, hop
ing Ko-hot would relent, replied
that die he might, but return to San
Carlos he never would. 10 hot
arose, then and there, without one
word, and struck him dead.
When the officers of the cavalry
expedition called a council, and told
Ko-hot that their mission was to
determine the borders of his coun-
try for all time, and that it re-
manned with him to decide how
large it should be, ne replied to the
following effect: "My people live
by their country and their river.
They are small. Let your lines
but include the river and
the little plain we live on;
for why should a small nation wish
for great country? There are
many other nations in the world.
Some one Of them-the Americans,
perhaps, foa they are a great people,
and talk of making boundaries
where we have lived very well for
all time without them-might try,
some time, if it were large and in
diYisible, to take our country from
us. Where would the -su-pai
go? To San Carlos, or to destruc-
ton? ?" And he would not permit
the boundaries to be placed a step
above the springs which feed his
river, or foot below where it leaps
down into the pool under the lime
stone barrier.-0ctober Atlantic.

FICTITIOUS PRlCBS

Webster defines the word fictitious
thus: "Feigned; imaginary; not real;
counterfeit; false; not genuine Such is
the character of the catalogue prices of
pianos and organs. differing some in the
enormity of the ofense in proportion to
the quality of the instruments; for be if
understood that many Of the cheapest
made instruments rate about the same on
the catalogues ss fTst-class ones. This
condition ie regretted by some of the
leading makers, out they are poYerless
to change because many deal
ers insist on the present
policy being continued, for the reason
that it gives them better chance TO pet
high prices by making purchasers be-
lieve that in Offering them a $1,000 piano
for $3.50 or $3.50 organ for $3.50. that
they are giving immense bargains, when
in fact the instrument may be exceed
ingly dear even at these seemingly very
low prices. A business man in this city
thinking that he could get frs. Glass
piano at the factory much cheaper than
ne could in this city, bought one shown
him on the catalogue to be 81 600, for
S525, as q special price to him, with the
understanding that be wsa to use his in
luence to effect sales among his friends.
It was very disappointing to hin when

that being the regular price. Many sim

makers of pianos, who advertise very
largely throughout the country: ''7I<

wants such piano at any price? And
yet they are sold in this Territory at $500
