Now, to tell you the truth, from the

the threshold, and walked right up to

his crutch, talking to customer.

the note.

name, to be sure. And who may you

letter, he seemed to me to give some

What Was Hurt.

Many stories are told of the witty re-
forts made by a certain judge who died
few years ago, and among them is
enc which proves that his wit did not
desert him in the most trying ciccum-
stances. One day as he was walking
down the steps which led from his town
house he slipped, lost his footing and
fel, with many thumps and bumps to
the bottom. A passer-by hurried up to
the judge as the latter slowly rose to
his feet. 81 trust your honor is rot
seriously hurt?" he said, in anxious i'm
quiry. "My honor is not at all hurt"
returned the judge, with rueful ex-
preston, "but my elbows and knees
are, | can assure you!"-Tit-Bits.

innocence of Long John Silver.
"See here, now, Hawkins" said he,
"here's a blessed hard thing on man
like me now, amt it? There's Cap'n
Trelawney-what's he to think? Here
| have this COMPOUNDED son of Dutch
man sitting in my own house, drinking
of my own rum! Here you comes and
tells me of it plain; and here | let
him give us all the slip before my

you do me justice with the cap'n,
You're lad, you are, but you're as

first came in. Now, here it is: What
could do, with this old timber hobble
on? When | was an A B master mar
liner I'd have come up alongside of him,
hand over hand, and preached him to

And then, all of sudden, he stopped,
and his jaw dropped as though he had
remembered something.
"The score!" he burst out. "Three
goes O. rum! Why, SILVER my tim
bers, if 1 hadn't forgotten my score!"
And, falling on bench, he laughed
until the tears ran down his cheeks.
I could not help joining; and we
laughed, together, peal after peal, until
the tavern rang again.
"Why, what precious old sea-calf
I ami" he said, at last, wiping his
cheeks. "You and me should get on

THE YAQUI INDIANS.
They Are Once More in Active Re-
bellion Against Mexico.
Probably the Bravest American Alb
OrigInes who Ever Resented
Foreign InvasiOn--FOrmer
struggles for Liberty.
Especial Correspondence

For the sixth time since their coun-
try has been invaded by the Caucas-
ian race the Yaqui Indians of Mexico
are now battling for their lands,
and their homes, and national in
dependence. No nation or tribe OF
aborigines on the American CONT
nent has showed so sublime love
of liberty, greater bravery or as much
wisdom; and to one familiar with the
history of Indian rcvolts it is not sur
prising to hear that the Mexican gov
eminent is prepared to dispatch 10000
troops to the north to subdue the re-
bcllious Yaquis.
The present war must terminate
either in humiliation or in virtual in
dependence. Military authorities, ia
miliar with the strength and fighting
capabilities of both sides, are confident
that the MeXicans will win, but not
without terrible sacrifices; and that,
even after their defeat, the Indians
will keep up guerrilla warfare for
years to come. The struggle will prob
ably claim many more victims than
the late Spanish-American war and will
also be more important from stragetic
point of view, to say nothing of it's
historic interest as being the last de-
termined stand of the American native
against the immigrant from Europe.
The YaQui Indians are the dominant
race in numbers in the state of Sonora,
in extreme northwestern Mexico, to
the north of their habitations being
the territories of Arizona and New
Mexico. Much of their country is alto
gether unknown to the civilized MeXi-

That they have learned 20 use the
white mans weapons is proven by the
fact that since the beginning of the
present revolt, or within two months,
over hundred miners and as many
soldiers have been shot by the rebel
lious Indians. :. Gen. Miles has ex-
pressed the opinion that this war will
into years.
At ordinary times the Yaqiis are re-
served and exclusive rather than hos
tile. They sometimes desert their VIII
lagos at the approach of strangers,
leaving behind them nothing that can
give aid or comfort to the invaders.
When attempts are made to penetrate
their mountain retreats they occasion
ally resort to resistance, but e/N in
such cases they rarely do more than
block the paths by which strangers
must advance. Great rocks AND. trees
are thrown across the narrow trails,

abiding, but a Mexican regulation re.
quiring all men to wear trousers has
always been particularly obnoxious to
them. When they visit a so-called civ
ilized village to sell their pottery,
woven mats and baskets they do not
put on their trousers until they are
about to enter the corporate limits, and
on the homeward journey they take off
the hated garments as soon as they are
clear of the town and carry them in
little bundles on top of their heads.
The only strangers with whom they
are on friendly terms are the Apaches
of Arizona, and scores of these murder
Gus savages, outlaws from United
States territory, have found safe ref
uge in the Yaqui country.
DR.. w. j. Magee, of the bureau of
ethnology at Washington, d. c., who
has made researches in Sonora and is
familiar with the Yaquis, describes
them as a pastoral people, somewhat
skilled in the arts in rude way. They
are ruled by their own laws, follow
their own customs, and are deeply
rooted in their ancestral pagan faith.
They have towns, which are often asy-

CHAPTER VIII.

AT THE SIGN OF THE SPYGLASS.
When / had done breakfasting, the
squire gave me note addressed to John
Silver, at the sign of the Spyglass, and
told me l should easily find the place
by following the line of the docks, and
keeping bright outlook for a little
tavern with large brass telescope for
sign. l set off, overjoyed at this op-
portunity to sec some more of the ships
and seamen, and picked my way among
a great crowd of people and carts and
bales, for the dock was now at its bust
est, until found the tavern in question.
1t was bright enough little place of
entertainment. The sign was newly
painted; the windows had neat red
curtains; the floor was clearly sanded.
There was street on either side, and
an open door on both, which made the
large, low room pretty clear to see in,
in spite of clouds of tobacco smoke.
The customers were mostly seafar-
ing men; and they talked so loudly
that hung at the door, almost afraid
to enter.
AS l was waiting, man came out of
of side room, and at a glance, was
sure he must be Long John. His left
leg was cut off close by the hip, and 1n-
der the left shoulder he carried a
crutch, which he managed with Won
derful dexterity, hopping about upon it
like bird. He was very tall and
strong, with n face as big as ham
plain and pale, but intelligent and smil-
ing. Indeed, he seemed in the most
cheerful spirits, whistling as he moved
about among the tables, with a merry

lums. A refugee having sought safety
among them will never be surrendered.
DR.. Magee found them faithfully at
tached to their native forms of worship,
and by no means entirely submissive
to the priests. Among themselves they
have their ancestral ceremonial rights
of birth, marriage and sepulture, as
well as feasts and festivals. They have
a government of their own, and crave
independence. They are also hos.
pitable race. The men are kind to
their women and children, and the
women WELD great influence. About
their bravery there is no question. The
women do some fine weaving in cotton
and the fiber of the agava.
The men are employed as herders,
farmers and miners, and do their work
well. They know the value of dollar
quite as well as white traders, and can
drive shrewd bargain. Their houses
are matched huts with earthen floors,
bean patches. There is no doubt that
the Yaquis of to-day are the remnants
of brave and partially civilized peo-
pie whom the Spaniards found in Mex
leo. They have never been conquered,
and have never forgiven their Spanish
enemies, nor their descendants. Their
military organization is almost perfect,
consisting as it does of companies, regi-
ments and divisions
A gentleman who recently returned
from trip through Sonora told the
writer that he could not find a more
appropriate designation for the Yaquis
than that of the Irish of America"
Their love of country, he says, is as pure
as that of the Irish peasant. Their
bravery as unquestioned as that of the
noblest Irish patriot By force of num-
bers and power of military equipment
they have been robbed of the Tubular
sovereignty over their native soil, but
in sentiment they are Yaquis and no
of legislation will make them
Mexicans. They have been prosecuted
by alien priests and slaughtered by
hireling troops, but still remain faith
full to the religion of their fathers. A
people like that, he thinks, deserve en-
rather than humiliation.
AS TO the number of Yaquis there is
a great diversity of opinion. Some es-
innate the strength of the nation in
Sonora at $4,000, others at 10000. Fiji
teen thousand is probably the right
figure. In 1920 the Yaquis numbered
10000, but thousands were killed in
their wars with Mexico and thousands
of others were degraded into poems.
On the other hand, the government of
Mexico has sacrificed 5000 soldiers and
many millions of dollars in fruitless
endeavors to subdue the Indians and
restore permanent peace. How many
Of the $4,000 remaining Yaquis are now
capable of bearing arms cannot be told
with any degree of accuracy, but 5000
might be taken as conservative esti-
mate. And 5000 mountain men fight.
ing in a mountainous country for home
and liberty is a mighty host. That
every soldier will readily concede.

an Era.

an Era.
CHANGING across the surface of every
day life in the Elizabethan days of ro-
bust manhood, it is interesting to no.
tice the lively, childlike simplicity of
manners, the love of snowy, brilliant
colors worn by both sexes, and to COM
pare these charming characteristics
with the sober hapiliments and re-
served manners of the present day.
Here is an example of the man of fash
ion, the beau-ideal of the metropolis,
as he sallies forth into the city to parade
himself in the favorite mart of fash
ionable loungers, st. Pauls church
yard. His beard, if he have one, is
on the wane but his mustaches are cul-
tivated and curled at the points, and
himself redolent with choicest per-
fumes.
Costly jewels decorate his ears;
gold brooch of rarest workmanship
fastens his bright scarlet cloak, which
is thrown carelessly over his left Shout
der, for he is most anxious to exhibit
to the utmost advantage the rich hatch
ings of his silver-hilted rapier and dag
ger, the exquisite cut of his doublet
(shorn of its skirts) and trunk hose.
His hair, cropped close from the top
of the head down the back, hangs in
long love-locks on the sides. His hat,
which was then really new in the coun-
try, having supplanted the wooden cap
or hood, is thrown jauntily on one side;
it is high and tapering toward the
crown, and has band around it, richly
adorned with precious stones, or by
goldsmith's work, and this gives a
support to one of the finest of plumes.

A Photographic Possibility.
Philadelphia Record.

The Photogram, in it's June issue, makes
the somewhat startling statement that
eventually we shall have cameras in every
home and office, and that there is no reason
why we should not this within the next
ten years. In the home the cameras must
become as universal as the sewing machine,
while in the office IL will become as indis-
pensable as the typewriter. Every man or
woman who wants to copy anything is the
one who needs camera. Editors and au
copied must be preserved, and where they
cannot use the almighty scissors. This
would do away with the tedious hand copy
ing or typewriting. Artists, architects and
engineers could use ii in copying drawings.
sketches. etc. In the household the simpli-
fed camera and simplified photography will
be valuable for copying valuable recipes,
sheets of music, fancy work designs, etc.
But it will be noticed that before this pho
tographic Utopia can ever be realized II will
be necessary for some bright mind to bring
the art of photography down to such simple
terms that practically everybody can use II.
Simpler copying cameras, smaller chances
for making mistakes, improved papers,
which can be more easily and readily ma
nipulated. will all have TO be brought out.
So that while there is a possibility. as the
Photogram suggests, that the time will some
time come when we shall see such a state
OF affairs. much must be done first. The
sphere OF usefulness which the camera may
occupy is by no means limited and we are

ment OF photography both as an art and as q
