Courage, strength. activity and end'lr-

was a born leader. an intrepid cam
paigner and Il daslling commander. His
lion-like courage was proved IN every
war his government has waged since
he was Il STRIPPING. and his :isc :rom II

Gen. Iawton was a man OF striking

He was frequently warneI that he

Ohio, and he first saw the light on St
patrick's day, 1913. AS a boy he was
in the West with his father, and when
lie was 10 years old the family located
at Fort Wayne, Ind, which he ever
since regarded as his home. He was a
student in college when the civil war
broke out. He left school and enlisted
as private in the Ninth Indiana. -Four
months later he was first lieutenant In
the Thirteenth Indiana, and with that
regiment he served to the end of the
war. retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel
with the brevet of Colonel. When peace
established he left the service and be-
gan the study of law. He was attend
ing Harvard University in 1866 when
he received II commission as Second
Lieutenant of regulars upon the rec
ommendation of Gems. Sheridan and
Sherman. After brief service in the
infantry he was made a Lieutenant In
the Fourth Cavalry. and with that reg
iment he was identified in nearly all
the important events Of his subsequent
career. In 1870 he was made a cap
tain, and it was while in this position
that he rid the Southwest of the MUIR
derous Geronimo.
His regiment did nothing but fight
Apaches for years, and Lawton studied
them as Il naturalist studies venOmOus
snakes, and took much the same view
of them. In 1886, when Geronimo and
his Apache band of thieves had been
off the San Carlos reservation long
time, raiding in the vicinity. Lawton
was sent after them by Gen. Miles. The
cavalrymen chased the Indians over
the deserts and into the mountains.
Their horses gave out and they follow
ed on foot. Their rations gave out and
they lived on what they could gather
down, after covering 1856 miles. One
day one of the old chiefs braves came
into camp with Il message. Geronimo
wanted to talk and LawtOn went alone
to see him. An Apache is no more
trustworthy than Il mad dog. but Law
ton sat down with the treacherous
chief in the midst of his warriors and
powwowed with him to such effect
that he presently led him and his war
party prisoners to Gen. Miles.
From 1883 until the Spanish war
broke out I.awton was attached to the
Inspector Generals department, with
the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. In
May, 1898. he was made Rrigadier
General Of Volunteers and at Santiago
directed the operations against I'll
Caney. The marvel is that he was not
killed. He never awaited himself OF
cover. His commanding figure was the
most conspicuous thing wherever there
was hot fighting. and every Spanish
sharpshooter within a mile had always
II chance ut LawtOn. When he recon-
noitered. he rode preferably in front of

purpose.
All begin by turning over letter at

or course it is necessary to have n
large quantity Of cards. so that when
dealt out there will be n variety of let
tiers. The game becomes lively as per-
sonal sentences suggest themselves.
and it affords good practice in the
formation of grammatical sentences.

Curacao Is Dutch colony. and the

ants and has played an important part
in the history Of America. 1t has be.

Spain and Holland, and its cozy harbor
has been the scene Of many bloody
battle between the navies Of the oil
world, as we'll as between the pirates
and buccaneers that infested the Ca.
ribbean sea for two centuries. 1t has
been for 100 years and still is an asylum
for political fugitives, and many Of
the revolutions that rack and wreck
the republics on the Spanish main are
matched under the shelter Of the pre-
tentious but harmless fortresses that
guard this port. Bolivar, Santa Ana
and many other famous men In Span
ish- American history have lived there
in exile, and until recently there was
an imposing castle upon one Of the
hills. called Bolivar's tower. There the
founder Of Ave republics lived in ban.
ishment for several years and waited
for rescue.
The houses are built in the Dutch
style, exactly like those in Holland;
the streets are so narrow that the peO-
pie can almost shake hands through
their windows with the neghbors across
the way, and the walls are as thick as
would be needed for fortress. The
Dutch governor lives in the solemn
looking old mansion fronting the Skat-

In January, 1899 he was sent to the
Philippines and did the severrst fight

command of the regular troops, and on
April 10 lie captured Santa Cruz, Il

sharp fighting. and Lawton led his
troops. using the Indian tactics which

A-cKinley sent him ratula lions for
these successful operations. His oper-

Of Luzon. Up to the day of his death
Lawton was in the field almost con-
stantly, dispensing the insurgents and
cutting off the ammunition and sup
plies. He was under fire several times,
but he drove the insurgents before him
everywhere. His son, / 1 years old. was
with him in the Philippines. The
yOungster was under fire with his ia
ther at Santa Cruz. and the General
was intensely proud of him.
