indian business Is liable TO become
pretty serious before long. Why on
earth the government don't enlist
25, 900 men and have those red skins
rounded up once and for all Is some
thing cannot understand.
"Why down in Arizona, we lived
for fifteen years in a state Of terror
on account Of the marauding band of
Apaches that had things pretty much
their own way all this time, In spite
of all that the government troops
could do to keep them in check.
IL call to mind particularly Old
Victoria. There was warrior for
you. He commanded a band OF some
two hundred bucks They were the
Chiracahua Apaches, and the MUIR
ders, robberies and depredations COM
mitted by that band during those
ten years In which they were on the
warpath are almost incredible,
''Old Victoria was nearly ninety
years Of age when the trouble began.
He ruled those red skins with a rod
Of iron in spite of his years. And he
was paralyzed, too completely para
lyzed. He was only able to use his
left arm little, just enough to lift
cigarette to his mouth.
"He was constantly in the saddle,
and had tobe strapped on like bale
of goods. His band had the finest
ponies to be found anywhere, They
would sometimes appear at one place
and In less than twenty-four hours
you would hear Of them at some
place 100 miles distant. All through
out southern Arizona and northern
Mexico Old Victoria continued his
raids until the settlers finally gave
up in despair The government
troops appeared to be utterly power
less In the matter
"Why, that band Of red skins would
sometimes plumber a wagon train
right under the noses of the troopers,
and by the time the latter were
mounted and ready to start in pur-
suit, they would be out of sight. The
next day, perhaps, the wires would
tell Of some fresh depreciation COM
mltted by the same band in a section
Of the country over 100 miles away.
"This old war dog, however, was
finally rounded up and shot. He
died in the saddle, fighting to the
last, and his band, what was left of
1t, dispersed, OF course the settlers
heard of it and were delighted. Dis
may followed, however, when CO.
chise took the field This Indian
ran things pretty much the same
way for five years, and then came
old Geronimo.
"The Indians Of the Northwest are
much more numerous and better
armed. You may take my word for
1t, gentlemen, we haven't seen the
last of the Indian troubles. We've
hardly seen the beginning of them.
The government will wake up to
the fact before long, too. "-New York
Herald.

A Little Kings Daughter.

One day in the early spring littlt
Bertha looked up into her moth
er's face pleadlngly, saying Mamma
dear, tan't l have darden all my
very own?"
Kind Mrs. Cleverly never de
MED her children any reasonable
request, so it was decided that
Bertha should have her own little
garden to care for herself. AS she
was too small to understand any
thing about planting, her mother
had some asters, a row of daisies and
bed of pansies set out.
Never was a little girl more busy
She watered the plants and soon
grew to know when weeds appeared.
No part of the yard looked prettier OF
neater than Bertha's dearly loved
flower bed.
Our little gardener had a sister
who belonged to the Kings Daugh-
tiers. This sister often told Of the
different ways in which her friends
had made money to spend in charita-
bic work, little dreaming that her
sister was drinking in every word
she said
Soon the flowers we're in bloom,
and Bertha was very proud of her
pets,
One afternoon, Katie, the maid,
came into the house in great dis
tress, crying:
"Oh Mrs. Cleverly, sure, and the
posies is all gone out Of the baby's
garden!"
When Mrs. Cleverly hurried out,
she found it all too true.
Every flower had been nipped from
the plants, not even half-opened
bud remaining to mourn for its com.
panlons
She went into the house much per-
picked and distressed, for she knew
how grieved her little girl would be
when she was told of her great loss.
While she sat wondering who could
be so cruel as to rob her pet, in came
Bertha, shouting
"On, mamma, I've 0OJ all my HOW
ers, every one, made into punches 10
sell; tause I'm a Tins Daughter, and
I'm doing to dive the money all to
the poor people"
"Bless your precious heart" cried
her mother, as she held the little girl
close in her arms, while tears filed
her eyes, you are Kings Daughter
indeed"
Never were flowers more readily
sold, and better prices were never
paid than were given to this dear
worker for the Kings poor
The little Kings Daughter never
regretted the loss of her flowers, for
the lesson learned so early In life re-
suited in many noble deeds in later
years.

road agents stepped from the ROCKS
beside the road and had him cornered
before he could whistle. They we're
armed with shotguns as well as
machetes, but for some reason did
not shoot before they spoke, as not
infrequently happens. They invited
Mac to get down, and he did per-
force. Then one Of them took the
revolver from the holster.
Good. 1t is big" said he.
eyes,, said Mac, "but it is worth
less thing after all. l never want to
kill any one. l only carry it because
l must make people think l am
armed.
The bandits laughed at that 1t
was incredible that such a pistol
should be worthless, and they said so.
"But, gentlemen, will put my hat
in the road and you may shoot at 1t
with the pistol. The bullet Will not
go through the hat"
At that he took off his hat, a gor-
geous Mexican affair that cost $50 in
Acapulco, and put it on a rock not
ten feet away and stepped back to-
ward but about five feet at one side
of the bandits. They were interest
ed at once. The idea was novel to
them. The man with the pistol
aimed deliberately and fired at the
hat. Then the three ran to look at
the effect Of the shot. Macs turn
to snoot had come. Whipping out
the unnoticed revolver he shot two
Of them down before they could turn
on him. Third did no more than
turn round before he caught his dose
as well.

Queer Stationery.

When the petals of the great aurel
magnolia are touched, however light

develops in a few hours. This fact
is taken advantage of by a lover, who
pulls magnolia flower, and on one

flower, the young lady puts 1t in a
vase Of water, and in three or four
hours the message written on the
