thing into effect.
A passionate lover OF music, proved
an apt pupil and, after years of loving,
patient application, developed a power
as marvellous as his own. What strains
we wooed from those two violins at
least 100 years old! 1t seemed as If
the melodies of heaven had found their
way to earth under the inspiration of
our touch, and oh, how the love
burned to our hearts All what mem
cries these are, But may not linger.
One glorious day he called me to him,
and, pillowng my CHASTITY face against
his breast, murmured tenderly,

and was present at the appointed time.
The Centennial hail was packed with

chief would have to say. Father Wilbur

Father, all OF one family, and that it is
wrong for one man to take the life OF an-
other. In this way he approached the
subject of the murder of the Perkins fam
lily. Moses WAS chief over the Indians
who had committed the deed, and it was
we'll known that he was in sympathy
with the hostiles. Moses believed that
the little band of which he was chief and
the whites and Indians of the Yakima
valley composed the nation and that the
world extended just beyond the Column
bia river. True, he had heard of Wash
ington tyee, president of the United
States, but Moses considered him an in
significant being compared with himself.
"On this occasion Moses was striking
picture. He WAS dressed in a long coat,
Prince Albert style, dark trousers, buck
skin leggings, wore white handkerchief
about his neck and wide-brimmed
Spanish hat. When called upon to make
a speech he slowly stepped forward. The
audience waited, almost breathless. AZ
ter standing perfectly quiet for sometime,
he bent forward with great dehberation
and blew mighty bugle blast with his
nasal appendage, making use of his leg

miles from Yakima, and promised to go
with them to the spot where the murder
ers we're camped. His plan was agreed
to. and I6 men, with seventeen Indian
police were prepared for the expedition.
They soon set out, with special orders
from the sheriff, and with W. l.. splawn
as captain.
"When they arrived at the point desig
mated, they discovered that Moses was a

Our Forces in the Philippines.

1t is only after some processes OF refiec-
ton and comparison that We can fully
appreciate the magnitude that our expe-
diton to Asiatic waters has assumed.
General Kitchener performed wondrous
feats last year in his marching against
the "Fuzzy-wuzzy" OF the desert, but
there were only 1000 or 5000 white sol.
diers under his command, the remainder
of his expedition (l2.000 men approx
mately) being made up of the Egyptian
troops of the Khedive's army. We are
now, therefore, using five times as many
white,skinned English speaking men in
our campaign for the pacification of the
Philippines as General Kitchener will
have used in establishing peace and order
throughout the Soudan. In their recent
campaign against the fierce warriors OF
the mountain tribes of northwestern India
on the Afghanistan frontier, the British
made use of more than $4,000, but OF
these only 10000 were white soldiers from
the British islands; the others were ma
tive Indian regiments. The French,
having annexed the great island of Mad
assscar to their empire. found it neces'
sary in 1895 to wage considerable wal
in order to make good their possession

Notorious Old Warrior Joined His Fathers the Happy
Hunting Grounds

The old Indian chief familiar to all in
Yakima is dead. He died last Saturday
on the Colville reservation. He was an
annual visitor to the Yakima hop fields,
and noted for his dignity and taciturnity.
He was pensioner of the government
and was accounted wealthy. He re-
manned at peace with the whites, refus-
ing to follow Chief Joseph in the Inflated
Nez Perez war. Moses was one OF the
Columbia tribe and the patriarch of the
Inland Empire Indians. He was 20 or
so years of age, but his exact number of
years 10 mere guess work. He came Of
fighting stock. His father was killed in
an Indian war in Montana, and he was
repeatedly wounded in battle. Later he
was in the Indian battles on the Column
bis river west of Spokane.
