but q former plainsman. "Tou read
in the accounts of the South African
war where hundred or two English
men GO out and whip 5000 or 10000
black men. There is no uncivilized
people on earth. no race which is ut
terly ignorant of what we call the sci
ence of war, that can for a minute
compare with the Ind.an as war; .ors.
No frontier general would think of
leading his troops against body of
Indians where the odds were greatly
against him. Why? Because the In
dian is naturally a fighter and a
marksman, and because he has been
quick to learn what the whitc armies
have taught him in warfare.
Take that fight in which Sitting
Bull was killed. That was skirmish,
it's true, but it illustrates my point.
There were just sixteen men on each
side. Those Indian scouts rode
straight through the camp of Sitting
Bull, and engaged the old demon him
self and fifteen of his picked warriors
IN battle in which no man knew he
had more than an even chance of sur
viving.
I've seen them. They love to fght.
Their ambition is to win glory in
fighting. Their traditions urge them
on to fight. It's their only really aris-
tocrat:c business. They are physic-
ally well qualified to fight; they know
how, and you can bet they do fight
when they get at it.'

BuG the Young Lady Did Not Know II
and There Was . Scene.
Those little patent affairs which
are the latest in toydom are destined
to create q great deal of excitement
along crowded city thoroughfares.
One day last week, for instance,
there was a group of male pedestrians
gathered in close ranks with craned
necl1s about a falir on a Chicago
street.
A :rssh-faced, pretty girl in a big
hat and stylish wrap sailed jauntily
down the street, tho embodiment of
brave and independent womanhood.
This dauntless young woman ell
bowed her way ahead through the
crowd and glanced casually at the
fakir with little supercilious smile,
which included the group of curious
loiterers.
Suddenly the group was agitat ID
and swayed in from the curb. and q
small dark object scurried across the
pavement.
"O-wi"
A distinctly feminine scream smote
the circumamb;ent ar an the brave
young woman. her eyes distended by
terror. grabbed at her skirts with
both hGI.ds and sprang into the mid
die of the street, recklessly under the
very nose of hcrdic horse. The
herdic driver said som oth;ng emphatic;
the men on the pavement grinned;
the fakir dangled his patent gray
mouse and expatiated on its resem-
blance to the real thing, and the
young woman made a wide circuit of

KENNETH r. SUTHERLAND.

(As ne looked Nhen ne ran away')
sutherland created a sensation in the
vicinity of the Brooklyn Courthouse
this morning by ~surrenderinR to Sheriff
Buttling. He was subsequently ar
raign,d before Justice Gaynor in the
Supreme Court and remauded to Ray
mond Street Jail until tomorrow morn
ing.
The details for the surrender, it Is be-
heved. were arranged by Bob" Suther-
land, the fugitive's brother.
Knew Sutherland Was Coming.
A rumor was current this morning
that Sutherland had returned to the city
from Canada yesterday. and that he had
spent the night in Jail. Sheriff Buttling.
however. denied the story. but admitted
that he had been notified that Suther-
land would appear to-day.
In anticipation of the expected return,
Sheriff Buttling went to his office
at 8 o'clock this morning. After sitting
around the Office for nearly ar hour he
sauntered outside in front of the Court
House. He had only been there a few
minutes when he heard a familiar voice
say:
"Hello, Sheriff; I thought I would
come In ana visit You.
Buttling looked at the speaker. and
recognized Sutherland. He invited him
into the building. and then sent a mes
sage to Deputy Acknowledgement Ed
ward NJ. Shepard apprislng him Of the
fugutive's arrival.
Sutherland was looking extremely
well, and told Sheriff Buttling thai he
had gained fifteen pounds during his
two months trip.
He had shaved off his mustache, and
the absence of this adornment, together
with his natty clothes, gave him some
thing of the appearance of a prosperous
bruiser, to say nothing OF p~ortending
what might occur to him later should
he be sent up the river to join his old
chief. McKane.
Sutherland told the Sheriff that he
had Just arrived In town.
II walk, 1 all the way from South
Ferry he said. AM didn't meet a soul

Sutherland chatted with the Sheriff In
the ~latter's private office. but did not
touch upon his own case. He seemed

carefully guarded, and did not leak out
until nearly 10 o'clock. when prepare
