Dog WITH A WOODEN LEG.

"3oze" Limps Like Veteran, But
Manages to Cover the Ground.
A living dog, even with wooden
leg, is infinitely better than dead
lion.
That Is what Mr.. Garrett, of Pulaski
County, Kentucky, thought when his
watchdog, '1,oze," limped into the
house one day with his left foreleg
barely hanging by the skin.
"Boze" had q foolish antipathy to
railroad trains, and the inference was
that he had scraped up an argument
with an express which had gone
through about half an hour before.
Mr.. Garrett, who is something OF a
surgeon-like most good Kentuckians
decided that he might better keep
three-quarters OF "Boze" than to lose
him altogether. So he completed the
work of amputation, bound up the
stump Of the leg and gave the dog first
class care.
"Boze" himself seemed to think life
was worth living, and in three or four
weeks he was up and about. But his
gait was wobbly, and Garrett set to
work and made q wooden leg to
straighten him up. He Whitfield and
scraped and polished IL, and fastened
it to "Boze" with clever arrange
ment of straps.
At first trial the dog didn't take
kindly to the addition that had been
built for him, but he couldn't shake IL
off and finally concluded to make the
best Of it. Within week he was
walking about with all the four cor
nered dignity imaginable.

recently, passed unnoticed and un-

Fetterman massacre of December 81,

20, 1876.
The Utes in Colorado and invading
Indians from outside that State caused
three wars prior to 1890, and the
Apaches in Arizona and New Mexico
were frequently murderous and de-
structive. The removal of Geronimo 8

Mount Vernon barracks, near Mobile,
Ala, effectually stopped their depre-

16, 900 officers and men actively en-.

old timers.
During the past twenty years, how
ever, the Government has been en-
gagged in trying to civIlize and control
the remnants of these once powerful
tribes on reservations, and with re.
markable success. In fact, the Indian
of to-day can only cast longing eye
over the old hunting grounds of his
forefathers, for, although centuries of
living by roaming, war and the con-
sumption OF the wild products of ma
ture have not especially fitted him for
readily accepting civilization, he has
been compelled to accept restraint.
The Atlantic coast Indians, the
Cherokees in North Carolina, most of
the tribes on the northern lakes, and
the remnant of the Six Nations in New
York and Pennsylvania have long
since ceased to be troublesome, while
disease and other causes have helped

diane from the Atlantic coast to the
Mississippi River.
The Creeks, Cherokees, Choctaws,

In addition to those on the various

Indians who are self.reliant and inde-

Between 1s46 and 1866. a period of
twenty years, the United States was
engaged IN two wars, that with Mexico

the Indians figured extensively. Dur

The Indian wars OF 1857, 1862, 1864,

expeditions were required to stop the
Sioux massacres OF 1896, at cost
of $40, 900, 900.
