and he has earned 1t by years of prac-
tically ceaseless toll. His forehead is
high and somewhat narrow, his eyes a
keen gray, his nose and cheek bones
prominent, his chin square, his lips
thin. He wears n dropping mustache.
His hair is cut pompadour, stands up
stiff and short like reversed shoe
shoe brush, and he is not pretty. This
hair Is now literally sprinkled with
gray, and the white amid the brown is
about his only sign of age. Army sur
geons who know him say that he may
live to be 100 unless bullet cuts short
his strange and sanguinary career.
Henry w. Lawton was a gallant and
serviceable officer of infantry during
four years Of the civil war, but his
peculiar talents were properly envir-
oned only when he was transferred to
the cavalry and stationed in the south
west. This was more than a quarter
Of century ago, and for two decades
he was remote from the large cities of
the east. He found New Mexico and
Arizona overrun and terrorized by hos
tile bands of Indians and he set him.
self, along with his comrades, to hold
them down. They were held down. The
work that the cavalrymen of the United
States did in those years will never be
appreciated until circumstantial his
tory Is written and it is not probable
that the history will ever be written.
1t was life of foray, long rides, des-
perate battles in remote valleys, mid
night surprises, combat with foe that
often was not seen, disheartening and
fruitless chases, danger and frequent
death. In fifteen years the officer saw
every friend he had made when he
went to the mountains taken from him
by removal, age disease or the bullet.

Nacbes and their band of cutthroats

Naches and their band Of cutthroats
were prisoners in Florida. They are
still in confinement. Not only was the
power for evil of this particular tribe
nullified, but the spirit of Apache re-
sistance was broken. 1t had been DEM
onstrated that they could be beaten at
their own game. Once again the white
man had shown them that he was their
master, mentally, morally and physical
ly. 1t was this service which called
Lawton from the west and landed him
In the inspector generals office in
Washington, with much official pres
tige, fair salary and little to do. The
inaction chafed him, as 1t chafes any
man of his kind. In five years he rusted
more than he would have worn in ten.
The chance of hostilities with Spain
found him eagerly preferring requests
for assignment to service. He did not
wish to inspect anything or to take the
conduct Of army trains. He wanted to
fight. 1t seemed to him, he said, that
If he could smell the smoke once more

good work, he would instantly become
young again. The opportunity was Of
fered him. 1t was recognized that in
the Santiago campaign fighters and not
doctrinaires were wanted. At Tampa
Lawton was the first man named by
Shafter to assist him In the desperate
enterprise ahead. "Pecos Bilr' had
been for many years on the frontier
himself and he knew his officer thor
oughly. Nothing could have suited
Lawton so well. He was there to kill
Spaniards ana he thought he saw his
way clear to doing it.
AS brigadier general Of volunteers
he was given command Of a division
and in that command stormed Ell
Caney, doing as much as any man could
do to convince Toral that his cause was
hopeless. In all of the fighting of that
terrific day he was up to the firing line,
saying little, but pacing slowly up and
down, his gaunt figure mark for every
sharpshooter in the enemy's lines, the
Mauser's fiicking up the dust about him
or pulsing in the air, giving to his men
the constant example of how an Amer
lean soldier should act when under fire.

He Had Not Missed It.

A friend making a morning call upon
Peter Burrowes, a celebrated Irish bar.
rister, who was very absent-ninded
found him shaving himself with his
face to the wall, and asked why he
chose so strange an attitude. The an.
swer was TO look in the glass" why,
there is no glass there" BLESS mev'
exclaimed Burrowes, Il did not notice
that before" Then, ringing the bell,
he called the servant and questioned
him respecting the bookings glass which
had been hanging on the wall. ''Oh, sir
said the servant, 'it was broken six
weeks ago."-San Francisco Wave.

The entire personnel of the force
changed more than once-the entire
personnel-that is, except himself. He
was always left lonely, self-contained,
earnest, indefatigable and silent, save
when giving commands or cheering on
his men in fight His name became a
household world in all Of the tepees in
that wild land. The Chiricahuas, the
Mescaleros, the Jicarillas, Apaches all
had for him the mixture of hate and
grudgeo admiration compelled by a
dauntlsss foe. They found in him,
after little while, man who was
learned in every phase Of their peculiar
warfare, and in ten years they dreaded
him as they have dreaded few white
men since the winning of the West be-
gan. Lawton's method Of handling
them was singularly his own. When he
struck trail he kept to it with a
dogged tenacity which knew no such
thing as quit Whether the pursuit
was maintained for day or week, it
was maintained with steady, unre-
lentinc earneStneSs that did more TO
strike terror into the hearts Of the red
men than would have been possible to
all the rifles on earth. The mans phil
osophy was wholly expressed once in
chance remark to a newspaper ac-
QuaintSnce.
IF a man Is hunting for you" he
said, get gun and hunt him. Do it
right away. 1t discourages anyone to
be suddenly transferred from the posi-
ton Of hunter TO hunted"
This rule has guided him. He insists
upon being the aggreSsor, 1t is sup
posed that he would stand a charge sill
right, but hitherto he has always done
the charging. He does not believe in
waiting for the other side to act. This
trait was signally demonstrated in his
conduct Of the right wing Of the Amer
lean army at FL Caney, He had men
that he thought could be depended
on. At any rate he proposed to see
what they could and would do. So he
sent them at the blockhouses and
breastworSs hour after hour with a
savage disregard Of the chances Of
