EFFECT OF EUROPEAN IMPERI-
AIlSM

With but few exceptions, there is
not monarch in Europe who is not
in daily fear of assassination. Every
king, queen or emperor who wears q
crown is obliged to lead an armor-
plated existence. They are 50 he'd
ged about by the soldiers rifles and
red tape with which their divine in
heritance is maintained that their
lives become cursed with apprehen-
sion. On the occasion of the recent
visit of the Gar to Potsdam the royal
train travelled only twelve miles an
hour 1t stopped frequently, while
a pilot train ahead examined the
ground for bombs. While at Pots
dam detectives Swallowed the Gar
every minute and hour of the day.
They slept at his door during the
night and lodged about his pathway
on every hand. Such is the inevi-
table result of imperialism. The
people are taxed and oppressed
for the maintenance of a gigantic
army. They are forced to pass the
best part of their lives as soldiers in
order that the "divine rights" of
Kings may be upheld. The tithes
'ald to Caesar were a small fraction
o the enormous tribute paid to the
Ear and as a consequence, while /
he people groan sweat and suffer.

BAFFLEDTHE APACHES.
Story of An EaIty Day Arizona
 Hold Up.


 '.The Apache Indians had q hard nut to crack when they got hold of our paymaster's safe.'' said the ex-sergeamt of cavalry who was asked aIbout his experiences in Arizona. ''On this par ticulIT, trip 1 was detailed with six men to escort him. He and his clerk rode in all ambulance drawn by mules. and Of course, the escort were mount ed. We were in camp one might. be i1Weefi two forts, when we were jumped by at least 100 Indians. They killed two men before we got cut. and the ambulance was left in their hands.
 The Paymaster's safe contained about 1000 in greelnbacks. It weighed something like AGO pounds. and worked with q CohnbIEc3ltiOn. None of the red skins had ever eXamined one at close quarters before, but they all knew what it was hauled about from post to post for, and, of course. they were anxious to get hold of the mcney They first pounded off the knob with stones. thinking the door could then be pried open. It was a failure, of course. and then they tried their tom anawks on the chilled steel, hoping to cut a 1l0ra in it. They had seen iron softened by fire, and the third move was to give that safe q three hours roasting. Luckily for Uncle Sam it was fireproof They threw big rocks upon it while it was still hot. and 1t was dented here and ;here, but they were as far from the money as ever. After working away for night and q day the safe was dragged up the side of q m0CDtain and tumibiad over q preoipice 200 feet high. They expect e{i to see it burst open. but the only damage done was to break one of the whee's off. It was left lying where 1T fell fer GIree or f0ur days. and tlIa gang then turned and carried it to the river and let it soak q whole week It was thought that this would soften il up. and great was their chagrin when baffief again. Then they tried gun powder. but knowing noshing of blast ing. they brought about ari explosion which burned half a dozen warriors and left the safe as good as ever.
 ''The Indians were f001ing with that strong box for a mOrl-h or more. They roasted it again. and flley gave 1t an other fall. and 10 burglars ever work ejl harder to get at fhe long green. They failed to get at the inside. how ever. ard in disgust they tImb1eid it into deep ravfne and left 1t. It was I0HFtS6il IlOIHt0S f3Ief ID1t peace calne. and we accidentally got track of the safe. An ambularce and a guard were sent fer it, and we found it lying in he bed of a creek with q great pile Of driftwocd piled around it. It was a loneS0me-1oOking old safe. as you nav suppose. and nobody had the slightest hope that the money had es- capped tl2e fire and water. When we got it to tlla fort ard blew off the door we found the S7O00 as snug as YOU please. Some of the bills were q litf1e tender from the heat and some had grown ngoldy from the water. but TlacIe Sam redeemed every dollar, and fine paymaster was made happy again.
