DELLA sTAcEY's BABY.
It Was a Small Indian Pappoose Pur-
chased for $500.

Miss Della Stacey, known to Topeka
people through "A Bachelors Honey
moon,'' once bought a baby. 1t was
little Indian pappoose, and it cost just
50.
Miss Stacey, who was then a very small
girl, decided that live baby would be
ever so much nicer than a doll, and
started out to save her pennies to buy
one, says Chicago paper. Colonel Sta
cey, who was then in command of Fort
Thomas, Arizona, was off chasing Ger
onimo and his band. The penny bank of
his ambitious daughter was about filled
a week before his capture of the Indian
chief, and she took it upon herself to
negotiate the purchase of her hearts
desire. Among the squaws who came in
from the reservation one day was one
with a baby month old. The penny
bank was eagerly emptied and the pap
poose had an adopted mother.
All. the persuasions of Mrs. Stacey
could do nothing with the headstrong
child. The baby was dressed and put to
sleep in a big armchair, and, like all In
dian babies, it was as quiet as a mouse
The day Col. Stacey came back the
first thing he did was to sit on the pap
poose. Then it ceased to be a stole.

he demanded. The young mother bravely
stood by her child. It's mine, and 1 paid
two dollars for it, she sobbed An or
derby was dispatched to the reservation
with instructions to senr all the
squaws in. They came. The pappoose
went "And lost both the baby and the
two dollars" said Miss Stacey.

young bulls on the outside, heads out,
calves in the center, the wolves circling

The wolves charged again and again,
