A strange story IS told of how child 8
plaything once had soothing influence
upon a warlike Apache tribe and was the
means of avoiding a serious war, says the
philadelphia Inquirer. 1t happened when
Mr.. Bourke was in Arizona yith General
Crook. The general was trying TO put a
band OF Apaches back on the reserve, but
could not catch them without killing
them. and that he did not want to do.
One day his men captured little Indian
girl and took her TO the fort. She was
quiet all day, saying not word, but her
black beads Of eyes watched everything.
When night came. however. she broke
down and sobbed just as any white child
would have done. They tried In vain to
comfort her, and then Mr.. Bourke had
an idea From the adjutants wife he bor-
rowed a pretty doll that belonged to her
little daughter. and when the young
Apache was made to understand that II
was hers to keep her sobs ceased. and
she fell asleep.
when morning came the doll was still
clasped in her arms. She played with 1t
all day and apparently all thought OF
ever getting back TO her tribe had left
her. Several days passed. and as no
overtures about the return Of tho papoose
had been made by the tribe. they sent
her. with the doll still in her possession.
back 20 her people Mr.. Bourke had no
idea OF tho effect his benevolent act
would have upon the Indians. When the
child reached them, with the pretty doll
I'm it's chubby hands, II made a great sem
sation among them, and later on its
mother came back TO the post with II.
She was kindly received and Hospitality
treated. and through her the tribe was
soon afterward persuaded TO move back

DUKE OF MANCHESTER A PUG

Any one that thinks the duke of Man

had better not look for trouble with him,
cinnau the other day he was asked how
two OF his front teeth got broken, and he
answered with smile, I'm a fight"
Have you ever fought prize fght?'
he was asked.
II have participated as a principal in
p fights 10 a tinish' answered the Duke
or Manchester. Il have been knocked
out three times. have fought five draws,
and have won IL contests"
This will account in a great measure
for the dukes fine physique and his pro-
ificiency I'm punching the bag, which so
amazed the officials at the Cincinnati po-
lice headquarters when the duke visited
the police gymnasium last week.
My father, Lord Vaudeville, was an
ardent sportsman" continued the duke,
'and attended many boxing contests. He
placed me under the tuition OF the Mar
quis of Queensberry and old Jem Mace,
the prize fighter.
II have fought nearly every amateur

the National Sporting club of London,
and all of the fights in which / have
taken part have been organized glove
fights, given under the auspices OF one
OF the London clubs. Every gentleman
in London knows how TO use his fists"
The duke STAGED that the ideal fighter
in his estimation Is Kid Mccoy, who,
although not always a winner. is quick
as a cat and hits like creased lightning.
''Will you be present at the fight that
is contemplated at the Saengerfest build
ing next February" he was asked.
What do you think the public would
think IL 1 attended it?' the duke asked
I'm answer.
The reporter replied with Commodore
Vanderbilts celebrated suggestion about
the public, but called the dukes atten-
tion to the fact that he would probably
be travelling in California I'm February.
"Oh IL will be easy enough TO get back
home from California, don't y know, If

DOWN THROUGH THE rREsTLE.
Two New Engines Lost and an Engineer Pro-
baby Fatally Hurt.
Columbia State.)

In the early hours of yesterday MORN
ing an extra train on the Seaboard Air
Line, between this city and Savannah, on
which were two bran new engines from
the Pittsburg Locomotive works, being
hauled dead" went through the Edisto
Swamp trestle. short distance below
Norths station. about 80 miles south of
the city. Aside from the loss of the two
new engines and the freight cars on the
train, one man was seriously injured and
may de.
This man was an expert engineer from
the Pittsburg Locomotive works. Mr..
Fetters, who was with the new engines.
He was brought to Columbia on a special
at noon yesterday and taken to DR..
Kncwltons infirmary. Yesterday after
noon one of his legs. which was badly
crushed, was amputated. The man, who
is stout and of strong physique, was suf-
fcring from the shock, and it was feared
that he had a fracture CT the skull and
internal injuries. There is but little hope
of saving his life
The accident occurred between 3 and
o'clock yesterday morning. The train
consisted of a Seaboard Air Line engine,
five box cars and two new Pittsburg en-
gines, ~ the centre of the train. When
the Edisto swamp was reached the train
jumped the track on the trestle, about
eight feet high at this point. The Sea-
board engine reached point of safety
The rest of the train went in with the
falling trestle. it having been knocked
Down. Mr.. Fetters went down with his
two So ton locomotives. No one else was
injured, so far as could be ascertained
This is the second bad accident that
has occurred at this point. On the road
before the Seaboard purchased it, the
first vestibule ever sent north went
through this trestle almost at the same
place. This was about four years ago.
The local train that should have left
here early yesterday morning was an

with the Plant System and the Southern
for the handling of it's passenger trains
over those lines between Columbia and
Savannah, and they have been moving
over them with practically no DELAY.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
The Tennessee School Book
Law. Row it Operates in
Our Sister State.

The school book law introduced in the
Senat by Senator Aycock. and now under
consideration by our legislators is 'arge-
ly patterned after the Tennessee law.
The best way to throw light on the law
is to see how it works in that State
where It has been tried.
Governor Mcmillan. in his mess lse TO
the Tennessee Legislature row in sts-
sion, has this to say:
"a careful compution shows that the
saving in first cost under this law is
about SO Is per cent. or one thirG in
other words. half as much as the books
cost now. is saved in the first purchase
But this IS not the total saving Hare
tofore. it was possible to change LOOKS
every year. AS q matter of fact many
of them were often changed, entail;ng
loss every time. Again. there was want
of uniformity in text books. The books
used in one school or county were not
good in another and great eXpcns7 at
tended these many changes About half
a million students attended our cubic
schools last year. 1t is not unreasonable
to assume that $3.50 at the old prices
was spent annually per pupil for books
and copy books. so the saving to the pee
pie would be abou; a quarter of a million
dollars annually.
THE law is working splenddly. Since
it got fully under way and is understood
it is emnently satisfactory. M

literally for schools should not have to

STATE BANK LEGISLATION
State Money Should be id State Repositories.
The Rule of National Banks.

To the Editor:
AS you know within this week there
will be introduced IN our Legislature,
a bill which is of peculiar interest to
State banks. the provision of which
will be the bonding of States funds
in State banks only" In addition to
this bill, an amendment to the Revenue
Act, repeating the franchise tax on
State banks will be offered. There is
no more reason why the State banks
should pay a tax on their stocks and
moneys than the railroads National
Banks, and other corporations which
are not held amenable by reason Of
their capitalization and surplus. The
tax is therefore against a single bust
ness interest instead of being appli-
cable to all corporations employing
capital and surplus of State Banks is
without doubt the most unjust tax lev
led under the law, because no other
capital is similarly taxed.
The deposits of States funds in State
banks only, is but justice and a protec-
ton which the State owes to her own
institutions, since the United States
Government protects and encourages
hers by depositing Government funds
in National Banks only. A repeal of the
franchise tax need not deprive the State
of revenue, since it can be replaced. if
necessary, in a form which will effect
both State and National Banks placed
upon an equal footing.
/ fully believe every State Bank is
anxious for this bill to be passed, and
1t is nothing more than due them to
be given the same rights and privileges
that National Banks, and other corpora
tions enjoy.
Congress N it's dealings with Ma
tional Banks is always considerate, Civ
ing to them certain privileges and
rights which exist only because they are
creatures Of the nations Legislature.
So the Legislature remembering that
State Banks often exist when Ma
tional Bank cannot be organized, and
that they are the offspring of the States
Legislature should give them all the
protection possible.
Tt is an equal fight at best that the
State Banks have to make against the
National Banks, and our own Legisla-
ture should at least give them all equal
opportunity.
