tons and we promise to use all hints
all ideas which we f nd to be practicable
or expedient.
We would suggest to all ministers
printing parish papers that number be
sent to us weekly during the time of this
exposition. Don't say that they are too
local in character. We can use them all.
L trust we can depend upon our people
in the East to remember us in this en-
terprise and that they will aid us in
every manner possible. We desire to
have Universalists informed as to our
hopes, and our fears as we'll. To let them
know what we are endeavoring to &C.
complish, and in return for the conf.
dence we repose in our body of Univer-
sallsts, we crave the kindly, solicitous
concern which will end in a generous
sentiment for US.

WISCONSIN. - Monroe The Rev.
John Arnoup has during the months of
July and August preached in Racine,
Elkhorn, Lyons and Albany to large and
attentive audiences. In the absence of
the pastor, the Rev. @. E. Varney. he
held four services in Monroe.
Notwithstanding the summer weather
the meetings we're largely attended, and
a warm desire was expressed that he
would soon come again. 1t was felt that
the collections taken up were not suff1-
Gent to reward Mr.. Arnoup for his
labors, and 30 the ladies of the church
got together and voted him further
sum for his earnest work in behalf OF

simply slipped behind a rock and wait.
ed, and the man with his packed burro
trotting ahead came on down the trail
and passed the rock behind which the
Indian hid, and when ne had passed
Jesus raised his Winchester across the
rock and shot him fair in the middle
ef the back. The man rolled off, cf
course, and Jesus watched hin, struggle
and choke and die, and then Jesus cut
the body and crushed the features with
rocks. Then he caught the dead pros
pector's horse. He lid rot need a horse,
SO he simply hamstrurg the animal
and let him die of hunger and thirst.
He could have killed the horse with less
trouble, but that would not have been
done, and the Apache is a creature Of
habit.
The Yurder of the prospector would
of course, be discovered, and men would
come to hunt him. Jesus, from his
long experience, knew this, So he
MANNED and manglcd to dead MA
some more to show his derision and
contempt, and went away. What he
found in the pack was welcome. He
got drunk, and he ate until he conld
eat no more, but he did not celebrate
his triumph this way until he was back
in tne high mountains again.
So Jesus lived alone in the mountains.
He did not modest the ranches except
to steal a horse or q cow for food. when
he did not want to waste ammunition
on a deer. There was danger about the
ranches, and Jesus took no chance Of
getting shot. He killed a man whenever
he could do SO safely, not because he
cared about plundering him, but on
thc same principle that a man kills a
snake whenever he meets one.
One day he went out to the road that
led to the north. He waited among
the rocks and brush of the great ctnyon
until he heard the sound of Wheels, and
pretty soon a carriage came along with
a Mexican and a lady and a baby in it.
And from his perch along the rocks
he shot the man, hut he did not kill
him outright. The Mexican had life
enough to know that he was in an
Apache ambush and killed the woman
before a second shot from Jesus Win
chester killed him. That man knew
what an Apache was, and JESUS, in
revenge, mutilated the dead bodies and
killed the baby.
At last a regiment of MEXICAN cav
airy was sent to round him up. They
found his camp among the cliffs Ivy
the Lake of the Virgin and waited fer
him, but Coyote saw the too numerous
tracks and only approached near
enough to see lis danger, and then
went away again to still deeper fast:
nesses. And then came what Jesus
had SO Tong waited for.
Halt a dozen Of. his tr'Ee, hard
pressed after the murdet of h teamster,
crossed the line and reached their old
camp in the Sierra Madre. He found
them by the same instinct thai an ante
lope finds it's mates. And the Mexican
soldiers saw the irall, and knew that
there was more than C~or-te-Ti.at-
Drags His-Foot in the mcuntairs.
There was no catching them by phr-

Thirty years ago, when he was only q
little boy, a man in a black dress at the
mission had thrown a few drops OF
water on him and then said something
In Spanish, and ever since that time
the white people had called him Jesus,
and it was against that name that the
ratiOns he drew were entered.
He had assisted at the burning of the
mission and the killing of the priest
some years after.
Back he turned into the mountains,
For . week or two he waited to hear
from the rest Of the band, but no orders
came back. He would wait until spring.
when some of them would surely break
Iway from the reservation and take the
war trail back into Mexico. Old Geroni-
mo and Chatto and the rest always
broke away in the spring. He didn't
know b q the incomprehensible white
men would send the bad chiefs off in the
railroad train SO far that they could
never get back.
So Jesus started out alcne. There
are not many people about the S;errn

The Indian looked down upon the
place and couldn't understand it. He
had only been gone a few days to see
# the soldiers were coming from the
west, and when he left his 100 fellows
were still enjoying the fruits of their
great raid. They had as many horses
md oxen as they could drive be-
fore them, and the sq1aws were
gay with the rings and watches that
had been torn from the bodies of
those who had met the column on its
wild ride from the reservation to the
Mexican mountains.
It didn't take him long to under
stand. There were tracks there never
made by moccasins, and he followed
the broad traAl until he comprehend
ed. The soldiers had come and were
taking the renegades back to San Car
hos. He looked fer signs of battle,
but found none. The cactus was not
torn up, there were no empty cartridge
shells, no graves and no blood stains.
The last raid before this one that he
was on the soldiers had also found them.
and many were killed in fight, and
when they got the rest back to the res
ervation some were hanged and some
were sent away with iron rings fasten-
ing their hands and feet. So he did not
follow the back trail long. Maybe they
would break away from the soldiers.
III they didn't they would be sure to
come back in the spring, after they got
their blankets and when the white men
began to crowd the road with their
teams. So he made up his mind to wait.
He did not 60 back to where the big
camp had been. That was hard to reach
and well hidden in the mountains, but
the soldiers knew where it was now and
the strongest article in his faith was to
keep out of the way of the soldiers.
Soldiers he could not understand. They
were always after him and his kind
when they left the agency, and yet
when they had him there they derived
neither amusement nor profit from him,
for they neither tortured him nor made
him work. He never stole the soldiers
horses, and did not kill them, except
when they pursued him, because they
went too many together, so he could not
