Gercnimo's Surrender der.

The Cabinet has had the case of Ger
onimo under discussion, and it is under
stood that the Administration is embarrass-
ed at the circumstances under which the
Apache chief was surrendered. Gen.
Miles has done exactly what Gen. Crook
was instructed not to Ndo, and what it il
supposed that Gen. Mile, was instructed
not to do. He has accepted the surrender
of Geronimo upon condition., the chief Of
which is that his life will be spared, and
that he shall not be turned over to the au-
! thorities of Arizona to be tried for murder.
Gen. Crook appears to have been removed
from the command of that department he
cause he did not seem to be able to secure
the capture of this chief except upon sud-
conditions. The exact details of the report
of Gen. Miles are not made public, bu,
there is no concealment of the fact that the
surrender was conditional. The fact that
Geronimo was fastened out of the jurisdic-
ton of the civil authorities of Arizona so
rapidly, in violation of the orders of the
department., is another indication that Ger
onimo was to be protected in his life. The
orders of the War Department were to con-
vey Geronimo, if captured, to the nearest
military post. This was not done. 1t is
admitted in military circles that Gen.
Crook long ago could have secured Ger
onimo upon exactly the terms upon which
he has surrendered to Gen. Miles, and
have saved the life of Capt. Crawford and
the expense of the last campaign. The
question before the Cabinet now is, what
to do with Geronimo and what to do with
Gen. Miles. The latter seems not to have
obeyed orders. This is the talk of army

The Toy spider.

Ellick and bis father had been more
like chums than father and son, and the
boy was at loss to know how to pass
the long winter evenings since his pa
ternal sire had become the possessor Of
the consolation of religion. Before, 1t
had been dozen or more games of POI
ker, then to bed; but now the old gen.
tleman was to be found on the foremost
seat i'm church, directly in front of the
preacher, and nearly always asleep after
the first quarter Of an hour of the SER
mon.
Happening to be in town, Ellick saw
for the first time one of those hideous
toy spiders with glarng eyes and hairy,
movable legs. Upon his return home
he carried with him one of the mock in
sects.
That afternoon he climbed TO the loft
of the church and bored hole in the
wooden ceiling just over the position
usually occupied by the minister.
Returning early that night he located
himself in the loft with his eye to the
peephole, and the spider with the silk
thread attached close at hand. The SER
mon had got well under way and old
man Gratsen (Ellick's father was
peacefully on the front seat with his
head thrown back and his mouth open.
The preacher, bymn-book in hand, was
slowly reading the song of praise.
Carefully Ellick lowered the spider
through the hole. 1t settled toward the
bald head of the preacher in a natural
manner, its hairy legs Hopping and
swaying. Feeling something tickling
his shiny pate he slapped it slightly.
The tickling was removed, but began
again instantly. This time the preacher
bestowed resounding smack that made
his head ring. He looked up and saw
the hideous object leering at him. With
muffled yell of terror he struck at the
horrible insect with the hymn-book. The
spider was not there. Such was the
force of the blow the heavy book went
flying. 1t struck old man Gratsen
square!y in the face, the sharp corner
nearly knocking out one of his eyes.
Old man Gratsen, thus rudely awakened
leaped to his feet with an astonished
snort.
"Hyer thar!" he shouted. "What
dye mean by that?"
The minister was dancing around in
the extremity of agony, striking at the
spider with both hands.
"Ah, hah! You done that er pur-
pose, hey?"
Gratsen was on his muscle at once.
Leaping to the rostrum he grasped the
preacher by the neck and they went at
it like mad cats. "Zipity bump" over
went the pulpit and both men rolled on
the floor clawing and humping. The
efforts of the congregation to separate
them proved fruitless. Both men were
nearly frenzied and resisted all attempts
to pull them apart. One brilliant genius
lifted the cover of the baptistry and the
combatants were dropped into the water.
That cooled the fire of wrath. They
crawled out of the water and stood on
opposite sides glaring at each other.
"What did you mean by" began the
preacher, but old man Gratsen with
drew, and ever since no effort has been
able to bring him back to the fold.
"When a preacher half kills Teller
for jist fallin' asleep in church, l amt
got no more use for him." he used to
say. "Look at that thar eye"
