Apaches in Arizona, a 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 gen.
Ileman to dishonor it and too much of q
soldier TO hold back while the command
was pitching in, he squatted his little
captive behind 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. "Dick'' made himself
as much at home in day as though his
young life had been spent around the
barracks. H. could not speak a word
of English, but, parrot-like, would imi-
tate; and his education was becoming
quite an undertaking. when his patron
WAS ordered away an, Dlck' was re-
manded, believe, to the care of the
Indian bureau.
But young as he was the instincts CT
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 were work.
ing on our map +, together, in my quar-
tiers, and all around the house wherever
there was shade our bounds lay sleeping.
Every now and then there would be q
sudden yell of pain and some one of our
four-footed pets would come bounding in
through the open doorway twisting and
comforting and frantically striving to
lick some inaccessible point on his back
or neck. We could not imagine what
was the matter. Rattlesnakes and tar
antulas abounded, but the bite of either
was deadly and 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. foxl
hounds loved to loll in the shade while
the grayhounds preferred to sneak iu-
doors and occupy the beds. Posting my
self ut this window, presently caught
sight of q little brown fnce with black
beady eyes, peeping around the cornerl
of the building. Then slowly, stealthily
he crept forward to where the nearest
dog wss lying; struck q match, dropped
it carefully upon the flank of the sleep
ing brute, and with mis- 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 franticallY INTO

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-
garded 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-conps. - The urchin may
hang back but the father drags him for
ward, shows him how to strike the pros
trate foe, and perhaps Gifts 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 waue 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 bit, and to dance
around him to the music of his frantic
yells. Last scene of all is where the en-
tire village takes q hand. The half dead
creature is temporarily released, then
bound to an upright stake and a slow
fire is built at his feet. Not a fire to con-
sumo him away in fifteen or twenty min
utes, but just gentle, simmering, siz-
cling 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 ooun-
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
ise they would kill her rather than let
her fall into indian hands? / spare you
ell details OF what horrors,are,or were IN
tiicted 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 if defeated; nothing but a
triumphant trip to Washington and
general lionizing of the Indians when
they concluded that we had them in a
tight place and they had better surren-
der.
An officer of the Seventh cavalry told
how, as he lay seereted in the bushes
close to Sitting Bull s camp the evening
of the Custer fight, he could hear the
awful cries OF some poor fellows whom

lions 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. II the business is 10 him bore
II he is tired out before the day is half
spent-he is evidently wasting his time
to pursue it. 1 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 sufficient incentive
to work and they usually become I'M
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
have only their own resources to depend
upon will be found far more meritorious
than the so-called higher class.
do not think that collegiate eduoa-
ton is IN general calculated to make a
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 man who would
enter either one of the professions, but,
in many instances, it is not only a him
dranoe to q 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.

men in the party was foolish, Boosting
boy of eighteen or twenty, who was con-
sumed with the desire to kill an Indian,
and who was constantly Dragging about
his proves as an Indian fighter and dead
shot. Ill luck brought some Pawnee
squaws into their evening camp, and
some of the emigrants jestingly pointed
them out to this young idiot, reminding
him of his declaration that he would
shoot the first Indian he saw.
Wantonly, wickedly, he fired. One
poor squaw fell dead--the others fed in
terror. Old heads in the party warned
the boy that there would be terrible re-
tribution for such murder, and advised
that camp be struck at once, and that
they should get as far away from the
scene as possible. 1t was all unsvailing.
Before the sitting of another sun hun
dreds OF Pawnee warriors came galloping
after them. They were surrounded in
the twinkling of an eye. An interpreter
rode in with their ultimatum: ''We de-
mand that you surrender TO us the muir
derer. The rest may go IN peace. If
you refuse to point him out and give him
up, then all must suffer- The Indians
were twenty to one. The whites could
not hazard the lives of their wives and
children. The guilty wretch was given
up to the Pawnees, who bound him to q
pony and rode away, while others COM
PEELED the emigrants to return as wit
nesses of the punishment.
Taking him back to where the body of
his victim was still lying they stripped
him, staked him out on the turf, and
then slowly and deliberately skinned him
alive, then babe his late companions to
go on about their business.

Sioux against Grow; Cheyenne against
Mandan; Pawnee against Arrapahoe,
and Navajo against Pueblo or
Mexican. Little by little retahatory
measures led TO the fiercest fortunes that
ingenuity could devise in dealing with
captiyes taken in war, and so it has re-
suited that our officers and men who have
fallen alive into the hands of savage foes
even nom combatant whites who have
had the desperate luck to become
their prisoners-have suffered torment
too horrible to describe, and for no par
ticular fault of their own except that of
being caught Burning at the stake is q
recreation that the Indians have iu-
dulged in at the expense of their prison
ers as far back as tradition will carry us,
and Indian braves sang their death song
as they were bound to the post, and by
haunting their captors with the story of
the women and children whom they had
killed strove SO TO madden their foes as
to induce them to deal some mortal blow
with knife or hatchet and thus spare
them slow aud horrible torture.
Cruelty, or a savage delight in wit
Messing the agony of helpless creatures,

ture. In one of our fights with the

they had taken alive and were burning
at the stake. The Indians, the very
next summer, told the officers of my
regiment how enc soldier on tall horse
managed to slip out and galiop 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 battsl-
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 few buttons. The winds
and the wolves had done the rest.
In the massacre near Fort Phil Kearny
in '66, where that old scoundrel Red
Cloud, with a 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
a bed of cactus. The Navajos and Co
manohes, it is said, used to make their
prisoners ''run the gauntlet between
two long lines armed with clubs; and
there Is q CHEEKY Rnecdote, founded on
fact, about the Pswnees, with which
this paper may well be brought to
close:
Long before Nebraska was settled at
all an emigTanT 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

the hall for protection; and then his
baby tormentor would sonttle of, fast as
his chubby, brown, bow legs could carry
him, and hide behind Col. Mason s
quarters next door, where presently
there wonld 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 IndIar must rejoice in having a
human subject on which to experiment;
and soldier, falling alive into the hands
of any tribe with whom we happened to
be at war might better be at once in the
