THE WEEKLY GAZETTE. FORT WORTH THURsDAY JUNE

they had taken alive and were burning
at the stake. The Indians, the very
next summer, told the officers of my
regiment how one soldier on tall horse
managed to slip out and gallop away
eastward. Several Indians pursued him
but his horse was too speedy, and they
were just giving up the chase and going
back to help finish up the Custer battal-
ion, when the poor fellow glanced over
his shoulder, saw their numbers, gave
himself up for lost, and put his revolver
to his head, pulled trigger and toppled
out of his saddle dead man. at first
the story was disbelieved, but the Indi-
ans took three or four of our number out
over the prairie, and there lay the poor
skeleton and q few buttons. The winds
and the wolves had done the rest.
In the massacre near Fort Phil Kearny
in SO, where that old sooundIel Red
Cloud, with thousand warriors, sur
rounded the little battalion from the
post, and where Capts. Brown and Fet-
terman and Lieut.. Grummond were
found among the dead, there was every
thing to show that at the last moment
two of the officers had killed themselves
rather than TO be taken, but sometimes
the Indians are too quick.
OF course, there are varieties of treat
ment. The Apaches had q cheerful way
of stripping prisoner and rolling him in
q bed OF cactus. The Navsjos and CO.
manches, it is said, used to make their
prisoners ''run the gauntlet between
two long lines armed with clubs; and
there Is CHEEKY anecdote, founded on
fact, about the Pawnees, with which
this paper may well be brought to a
close;
all an emigranJ train was making Its
way westward beyond the Missouri
through the Pawnee country. The tribe
was at peace with the whites, and had
always been friendly, but among the

flames of the Calvanistio hell. In the
previous paper 1 told you something OF
the rejoicings in an Indian village whom
the braves came home from successful
battle laden with scalps and spoil, but
that festivity was as nothing compared
with the jubilee in case they brought q
olive soldier - Then came the fun for
the women and children.
In the first place the poor victim IS
stripped naked to the waist; laid fiat
upon his back on the turf; his arms are
stretched out at right angles from the
body; thongs are bound around the
wrists and fastened to stakes that are
then firmly driven in the ground, his
feet are similarly secured and there he
is, absolutely unable to stir hand or foot.
Then the squaws and children surround
him; they daub his face with agency
sirup to attract all manner of insects that
he cannot brush away; they teach the
tiniest brat in the tribe to slash at him
with little knives; they make little
slashes in the arms or breast and stick
in sharp pointed slivers of burning wood,
or matches like Dicks. They show the
pickannies how to amputate a finger,
joint by JOINT. and if the wretched victim
faint away dash buckets of water on his
head to bring him to, and all the time
keeping up shrill chatter and laugh, for
Indian heaven offers to their untutored
minds no sweeter joys than these.
Then bigger boys claim a share in the
fun and are allowed TO practice on this
living target with blunted arrows.
Blunted because if one were to penetrate
and kill him outright there would be no
fun left for the evening. It is just like
your Fourth of July. Despite strong
temptation TO touch off all his squibs,
crackers, Roman candles and rockets at
one wild hurrah, the average boy can re-
strain himself for the sake of having
something left for the night and the
darkness.
All this time the old men and the
young braves look solemnlv on. Smok-
ing and discoursing about the battle, but
occasionally some proud father leads
forward a little urohin by the hand,

Apaches in Arizona, little Indian boy
came tumbling down out of the rocks
where his people were getting the worst
of it, and very shrewdly and confidingly
ran up to a young officer who was lead
ing his men and placed dirty little paw
in the deerskin gauntlet. Lieutenant
Heyl was much embarrassed by this draft
on his good will but, too much of gem
tleman to dishonor il ana too much of a
soldier to hold back while the command
was pitching in, he squatted his little
captive behind a rock until the fight was
over, fed and cared for him during the
rest of the scout and, not knowing what
else to do with the youngster, brought
him to Camp Verde and temporarily
adopted him. s'Dick'' made himself
as much at home in a day as though his
young life bad been spent around the
barracks. He could not speak a word
of English, but, psrrot-like, would imi-
tate; and his education was becoming
quite an undertaking when his patron
was ordered away and "Dlck' was re-
manded, 1 believe, to the care Of the
Indian bureau.
But young as he was the instincts of
the young scamp were pronounced. He
would spend hours catching flies and
slowly tearing them apart. He would
steal matches by the handful and disap-
pear with them. Heyl and l were work
lug on our map together, in my quar-
tiers, and all around the house wherever
there was shade our hounds lay sleeping.
Every now and then there would be a
sudden yell of pain and some one of our
four-footed pets would come bounding in
through the open doorway twisting and
comforting and frantieally striving to
lick some inaccessible point on his back
or neck. We could not imagine what
was the matter RRttlesnakes and tar
antulas abounded but the bite OF either
was deadly land the sting from which our
hounds suffered seemed but temporary.
Then 1 thought OF Dick and concluded to
watch him. A rear window looked
out on the back porch where our fox
hounds loved to loll in the shade while
the grayhouuds preferred 10 sneak in
doors and occupy the beds. Posting my
self at this window, presently caught
sight of little brown face with black,
beady eyes, peeping around the corner
of the building. Then slowly, stealthilY
he crept forward to where the nearest
dog was lying; struck q match, dropped
it carefully upon the flank of the sleep
ing brute, and with his keen little face
quivering with malicious delight, awaited
the result. All of sudden poor Bruce
or Bowser would leap into the air with
howl OF distress and rush franticaly INTO

tons were controlled By old men, and it
seemed necessary to be old before one
could be successful. At the present time
the youthful element predominates in
the financial affairs of our country. The
youthful element has continued to grow
and thrive with marvellous rapidity. and
there will be plenty of OPP
portunities for young men to win
distinction in the financial world in the
future. A young man to succeed in this
vocation must of course have a liking
for it. If the business is to him bore
il he is tired out before the day is half
spsnt-he is evidently wasting his time
to pursue it. have usually found that
the sons of independent or very rich
gentlemen who have "great expecta-
tons" make very poor clerks, and do
not often develop into good Wall street
men. Thew have not a sufficient incentive
to work, and they usually become un-
popular with the other clerks in the
office, as the drone does with his COM
rades who make the honey and will not
suffer the idle fellow to feast on the
fruits of their labor. Young men who
haye only their own resources to depend
upon will be found far more meritorious
than the so-called higher class.
do not think that collegiate educa-
ton is IN general calculated TO make
good business man. A boy should get
his business training and education in
the business world, among business men.
A collegiate education is, of course.
necessary for the young men who would
enter either one of the professions, but,
in many instances, il is not only him
dranee to business man, but absolutely
fatal to success. Parents should en-
courage their children to choose that
vocation for which they show a decided
preference. As the French proverb
says, that which a man loves to do he
generally does well. HENRY CLEws.

gives him willow wand which he calls
his ''coup-stick (''coup'' is the French
word for blow or strokes pronounced
"coo.'') Every Indian going on the
warpath has his coup-stick, and 1t is re-
gar6ed an act of exceptional bravery to
ride up aud strike an enemy with the
stick before using other weapons. The
man who can lay claim to the biggest
number OF such "coups' is the bravest
warrior, and one of the proudest Indians
in the Sioux Nation was named "He
counts his coups. - The urehin may
hang back but the father drags him for
ward, shows him how to strike the pros
trate foe, and perhaps cliffs" an inch
or two of skin from the grooming man in
order TO teach the youthful idea how to
scalp.
But even this fun begins to wane after
while, and more exciting diversion is
needed, especially If the victim be not
shrieking to their satisfaction. Then
the "proper caper' seems TO be to drop
few live Goals on the pit of his stomach
to freshen him up a bit, and to dance
around him to the music of his frantic
yells. Last scene OF all is where the en-
tire village takes hand. The half dead
creature is temporarily released, then
bound to an upright stake and slow
fire is built at his feet. Not fire to con-
sumo him away in fifteen or twenty min
utes, but just a gentle, simmering, siz-
zlIng affair that slowly broils his pedal
extremities and mounts upward only
when the bowling, dancing. jeering, de-
lighted band weary of the sport.
Do you wonder that it was q rule
among officers and men serving, as we
did, year after year in the Indian coun-
try never to fire of the last cartridge,
but to reserve that for one's self? Do
you wonder that in her simple story of
her life on the frontier Mrs. Custer tells
how the general made his officers prom
Use they would kill her rather than let
her fall into Indian hands? I spare you
all details of what horrorstare,or were IN
ticted on women and children whom the
Indians captured, but tell you this about
the torture reserved for men that you
may know what one-sided war it was
we had to wage. Nothing but an awful
death for us il defeated; nothing but
triumphant trip to Washington and
general lionizIng of the Indians when
they concluded that We had them in a
tight plaos and they had better surren-
der.
An officer OF the Seventh cavalry told
how, as he lay secreted in the bushes
close to Sitting Bull IS camp the evening
Of the Custer fight, he could hear the

my purpose at the present time to tell
you something about the New York

A Talk for the Benefit of Young Folks,

ms NEW York, ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST
Prominent MEMBERS OF THE NEW YORK
STOCK EXCHANGE.
An exchange is q resort for merchants
or brokers. Yon can very well imagine
how such an institution became necessary
in the progress of the business world.
Merchants who wished to have dealings
With one another had to get together and
talk over their business, each one Offer
ing what he had to sell. In the very
olden times they must have found it
troublesome and weRrisome visiting one
another's stores in various parts of the
town; very naturally then they came to
agree upon certain place where they
should all meet at particular time of
the day and so save their making sepa-
rate journeys from store to store.
In this way the idea of the exchange
originated in the commercial cities of
Italy, Germany and the Netherlands,
from which last named country they
we're copied by England. In olden times
al exchange used to be called brysa,
or bOure, an Anticipated Latin term,
meaning purse, or u place of treasure.

baby tormentor would scnttle of fast as
his chubby, brown, bow legs could carry
him. and hide behind Col. Mascn's
quarters next door, where presently
there would arise sound of lamentation
among his dogs.
Now as this trait seems Unborn among
the aborigines it takes very little imagi-
nation on the part of my boy readers to
understand how very much more the
poor Indian must rejoice in having
human subject on which to experiment;
and a soldier, falling alive into the hands
of any tribe with whom we happened to
be at war might better be at once in the

I'm az Bo.ton HeraLd.


From the Boston Herald
The southern people are joyful over their
prosperous condition aad steadily expand
ing wealth. The trace problem" does not
even keep either white or black awake
nights; both races, with very rare excep-
tions, are getting along we'll toge her, be-
cause they understood each other better
than any one at q distance can possibly un-
derstald either. Tbs negroes of the south
have about come 70 the conclusion that
politics, S . far as they are concerned, Is a
poor business out of which to extract
bread and butter, aud are settling down
TO commercial aud industrial vocations
best suited to their tastes and abilities. As
a race they are succeeding remarkably. |
doubt if there was ever an instances in the
worlds history where a race ever effected
so marked a cnange IN its coniiuoa In so
short period as the negroes of America
have done since they left the savage jungles
of their primeval Africa White slavery
was a curse to the southern whites 1t was
a valuable training school for the negro, and
his progress since the war has been due more
to his experience before than to any other
influence.
The southern negro is even too far re-
moved from actual want TO recvive kindly
the proposition to supply him with the
"half-worn saoes and clothing" of the charit-
aSly inclined citizens of Boston. There IS
one way, however, other northern friends
of the southern black can benefi5 him. The
negro is true son of toll. He is a natural
bocn workingman, because he can work
harder and be happier under the strain of
his labor than any other race. His Drawn
is great force that must be superintendent
and developed. Electricity has power, but
it has to be carefully guided and directed.
The negro needs training in industrial arts;
he must become skilled artisan in produc-
ing the things that mankind wants. TherA
will be plenty of his race to perform the
ordinary labor of life; the more intelligent
of his class must stsp up higher. They can
do this but slowly without the opportunity
of being instructed in craftsmanship. Raise
fund from among the wealthy friends Of
the colored man with which to endow a
great industrial college for the black race,
TO be esta olshed in central location in the
south. The southern people would contrib
ute literally to its endowment. This sis the
only species of missionary work that New
England can do for the south that l can
think of, and she can do this quite accept
ably to a large popul alton of grateful. big
hearted people, who need this help more
than they need anyt ling else in christen-
