We cannot if we wo&ld, and we would not if we could, be Indifferent on this subject. Death -I meA Aen murder-is very terrible by whatever hSNd or under what ever circumstances it wrought. But most appalling, most ghf\stly when done by the Indians from purA \ blood thirsti- ness. The white man whip murders has some ulterior purpose to observe either greed of gain or personal rkvenge is the motive in most every casa. There is altogether too much of this. \Human life is too carlessly sacrificed by r1pstlers and whiskey 6ends of our own ra&e-and it may be because we seem to holN our lives so highly that the people of )the east think we have forgotten our civilization and gone back to first principles, And that it matters little who kills us as Ave are chiefly devoted to be killed any\ way l B ut they make grand mistake in \this We may have brushed out some ot tAe formal paltitudes that are all the world to 1 them; but we do not forget our early ed{ ucation in a day. We are not in a con- dition to forget. We are forced into contact continually with circustances and emotions that demand our best efforts and dearest thoughts. Much that is only words of stories more than '%wice told" to dwellers in the east, IS empha- sized, intensified reality to us. wish I could put myself in your place. O. peo- pie of the east, in your place on this sub ject just for day, and reed with your indifferent eyes that 1.-two men were killed by the Apaches in Arizona. One man killed by the Utes in Colorado. A little girl hung on meat hook and Jeff to die III Arizona, etc., etc., etc." Lay down the paper, yawn, say, ''it too bad" Guess it's dinner time" It seems to me this neutral tint of heart and brain must tend to prolong life. So I would like to take it on occasionally o1ce every 30 or 40 years and thereby get new lease of lIfe But here in this cZntry the ten sion of feeling will no2 be laid down, danger and death are b near us. We hear of man fallisG today, two tc- morrow. It may be reighbqr and ac- quaintance, friend it may tBe a poor woman with helpless little ones, looking, hep ng, praying, for the r4urn of the husband and father-''he sitd he would be home last nie h." Many, very many look, hope, and pray, for The one who never returns.
 ''How many go out in the morning Who never come hohe at night"

 The brave Apacl,e ldoes not discrlmi- nare He doesn't Iaim to strike only those whose Ii ses seem worthless; no. he has killed many atPple one of whose lives was worth inhn,sefy more than all the Apaches in the wGrld. Did I say brave Apaches1 haze lleard that word applied to Indians evtr Since my earliest child hood; and I tsed to think it meant what it does when sbplied to othes- people, but it don't. ThS .Rziest, aiirtisss --= cowardly saeak is the bravest Indian; fer he can kilktbe most white men, women and child(#h without taking any chances. | And 1t isf h axiom with the western peo- pie thatA Aan Indian never takes any chanceA He is sure of his victim before vnS& $, sure that he is entirely de-

 Kim, but, as ''trslth is stranger than fc- tion'' like to tell It. And just here let Yme say that those children of nature with | all theil simplicity do not always" tell the truth. They make up nice little fctions concerning their movements ] when their brethern are out on the war \ path" For instance. last year Eskimin- zin with load of his noseless wives and Bother distnguishable relatives, camped at Mammoth, pretty little picnic party, Ebound, as they said, to gather sebolIas, when reallY they carried lot of ammu- n1tion to San Carlos Indians who were out apd expecting it.
